A Study on Migration in Sudan Using Geographic Information Systems Technology

A Study on Migration in Sudan Using Geographic Information Systems Technology AbstractMigration between countries is not a fresh problem; it has occurred since the dawn of time, but little research has been conducted on it, particularly by employing effective technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). As a result, the purpose of this paper was to investigate the migration of Sudanese to other countries and vice versa, as well as the migration of students of higher education from Sudan to other countries. To study all this, the ArcGIS 10.8 program was used, and in it inserted and created all the relevant data from shapefiles and attribute data. The Add XY Coordinates, XY To Line, and Time Slider tools were also used. Migration lines showing migration from and to Sudan in 2015 were drawn based on the nine most prominent countries for each, and a video of an interactive time map illustrating students’ migration to fifteen foreign countries from 1998 to 2015 was created. Graphs that show the relationship between countries and the number of immigrants were also created, and they are considered a good means of comprehension even by non-geographic information systems specialists. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Engineering Sciences de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractMigration between countries is not a fresh problem; it has occurred since the dawn of time, but little research has been conducted on it, particularly by employing effective technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). As a result, the purpose of this paper was to investigate the migration of Sudanese to other countries and vice versa, as well as the migration of students of higher education from Sudan to other countries. To study all this, the ArcGIS 10.8 program was used, and in it inserted and created all the relevant data from shapefiles and attribute data. The Add XY Coordinates, XY To Line, and Time Slider tools were also used. Migration lines showing migration from and to Sudan in 2015 were drawn based on the nine most prominent countries for each, and a video of an interactive time map illustrating students’ migration to fifteen foreign countries from 1998 to 2015 was created. Graphs that show the relationship between countries and the number of immigrants were also created, and they are considered a good means of comprehension even by non-geographic information systems specialists.
