Refugee Situation Awareness: Camps and Beyond

Refugeesituations create challenging refugee situation awareness research problems.We examine these research problems through three inter-related questions: (1) How do actors that service refugee camps maintain camp activity awareness?; (2) How do camp-based refugees maintain awareness of their personal situation in the camp and their home country?; (3) How do nationals outside of their country maintain awareness of the situation in their country? We provide starting points to answering these questionsvia (a) field visits to refugee camps in Rwanda and Jordan and (b) emphasizing refugee GeoICT training to support refugee situation awareness and avenues for education and livelihood.
