“…It is important to acknowledge the conditions that make populations vulnerable to displacement over time. In addition to quantitative methods that can attempt to measure population and individual movement (Li et al., 2019), qualitative measurements, or a mixed‐method approach, will be able to define not only how many were affected, but why and how they were affected (Khavarian‐Garmsir et al., 2019).…”

“…In the literature we reviewed, researchers suggested ways to approach future EMD research (for more on this, see Hunter, 2018). Over 20% of the papers reviewed acknowledged that mixed‐method approaches would enhance displacement‐based research (Essoka, 2010; Kearns & Mason, 2013; Khavarian‐Garmsir et al., 2019; Li et al., 2019; Neelakantan et al., 2019; Rodenbiker, 2020; Snodgrass et al., 2016; Wetzel et al., 2012). A mixed‐method approach, marrying quantitative and qualitative research methods, allows researchers to understand patterns in terms of the where, how, who, and why.…”

“…Looking at how people make decisions about moving out of the Khuzestan province in Iran, Khavarian‐Garmsir et al. (2019) relied on a questionnaire and structural equation modeling to complete in‐depth interviews with out‐movers from shrinking cities. They found through using the quantitative questionnaire, they were able to assess the drivers of movement, while the interviews allowed them to study the relationship between several drivers of movement, such as economic crisis related to environmental conditions, violence, and other measures of habitability.…”

Emerging research methods in environmental displacement and forced migration research

Environmental displacement can be defined as forced migration occurring entirely or partly from local environmental restructuring. This includes displacement from sudden environmental events, such as storms, earthquakes, and tsunamis, or from long term changes related to the impacts of climate change, development, conservation‐related residential displacement, and environmental gentrification. Over the past decade, investigating the human impacts of displacement has become an emerging focus within displacement research. The idea of displacement is not only difficult to define but challenging to measure, due in part to a multitude of influences environmental factors have on the ability to stay put. Displacement throughout history has occurred from many factors, including social, political, environmental, and economic. Environmentally related displacement is arguably the most unpredictable form of displacement and is increasingly a problem for both the Global North and the Global South. Geographers have not always focused on these issues, although researchers are increasingly exploring this inherently spatial and temporal problem. A more thorough understanding of environmental displacement is possible by exploring available and relevant interdisciplinary research methods and methodologies used for analyses. This review focuses on literature that links both event‐driven and ongoing change‐driven displacement to environmental change to reveal the patterns across several subfields of displacement research and suggest areas for further development.

“…Maintaining population growth to be still below the carrying capacity is imperative to ensure the environment can still bestow people's livelihood. If this limit is surpassed, there will be environmental deterioration entailed by disaster and eventually cut the population number through mortality or migration [19]. Environmental deterioration is indicated by pollution, land-use change, and health problems [20].…”

Best Practices of Capital City Relocation in Various Countries: Literature Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Capital city relocation issue is currently emerging due to the condition and problem Indonesia encounters. Study toward some cases of capital city relocation could be crucial input for analysis and comparison. This paper aims to review capital city relocation examples. Literature review shows there are variances in background and driving factors internally or externally, and infrastructure needs for city development. The driving factors consist of environmental pressure, pollution, urban heat island, housing, urban sprawl, and disaster. The infrastructures required for the development of a new capital city are information and communication technology (ICT), physical infrastructure, transportation, and open green space. From the analysis, Myanmar’s Yangon to Naypyidaw relocation and Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya relocation are the best practices in capital city development that boosts new activities and urban extension. Burma shows the infrastructure’s role in development of a new capital city and Kuala Lumpur reveals how ICT implementation helps to establish a new capital city. This paper is expected to fill the research gap from previous research in terms of reviews related to the need for ICT in capital city preparation. This indicates that this paper has followed the trend of ICT advancement. The next research and publication will strengthen the use of ICT as one of the variables.

“…Therefore, the effects of GW on urban settlements and on their dwellers are of the greatest concern to scientists and governments. In this sense, several hazards for urban environments have been detected/forecast, for instance in interurban transportation [41], urban-based pollution [42,43], health issues in inhabitants, [44,45], urban design plans and policies [46,47], urban growth and land use [48,49], natural hazards in city environments [50,51], poverty and gender aspects of population [52,53], adaptation of current urban infrastructure [54,55], governance, policies, resilience and adaptation [56,57], feeding challenges, [58,59], sustainability under population growth [32,60], forced migration/mobility [61,62], as well as pronounced temperature increments yielding to heat waves (heat islands) [63,64],…”

Global warming is a real threat for the survival of life on Earth in the following 80 years. The effects of Global Warming are particularly harmful for inhabitants of very saturated urban settlements, which is the case of Mexico City. In this work, we analyse temperature time series from Mexico City Downtown, taken hourly between 1986 and 2019. The gaps in the time series were interpolated through the kriging method. Then, temporal tendencies and main frequencies were obtained through Empirical Mode Decomposition. The first frequency mode reveals a clear increasing tendency driven by Global Warming, which for 2019 was of 0.72 • C above a 30-year baseline period mean between 1986 and 2016. Furthermore, the shorter periods identified in the first intrinsic mode functions are likely driven by the solar activity periods. It remains to find the origin of the smallest identified periods in the time series (<0.36 years).
