Agent - Based Modelling for Enhancing Liveability: Addressing Overcrowded Living Conditions among Urban Migrants
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The migration started 60000 years ago out of Africa; the homo sapiens dispersed across Eurasia. Migration is an everyday act; millions of people migrate to places yearly for a good life, well - being, escape from natural calamities and so on. Cities and Urban areas face a massive influx of population from migration; cities sometimes find it hard to accommodate these migrating people . Millions of people in big cities live without enough space and have a low quality of life. Climate change and urban sprawling make the living conditions worse in cities. This article contains the internal migration data of people from 10 rural areas to a c ity from 2017 - 2022. Using this data by using regression, we find out the migration rate of the last five years and also the number of peopl e expected to arrive in the city from the ten rural areas by 2023.Using Agent - based modelling, what kind of accommodation they choose is found out .The result from the study can be used for the city authorities to plan buildings in such a way that bui ldings are designed which is affordable does not consume green fields present in the cities and also in a sustainable way to promot e climate resilience .
