(Im)Mobility Trajectories in Conflict Settings

This infographic illustrates the (im)mobility trajectories in conflict settings, specifically focusing on Syria. It highlights various regions and the displacement patterns within these conflict zones.

The map identifies different territories controlled by various forces:
• GoS: Government & pro-government forces (shaded in red).
• Turkish Armed Forces and Turkish-backed opposition (purple).
• North East Syria: Kurdish Forces (blue).
• North-West Syria: Rebels (green).
• Occupied by Israel (yellow).

The infographic shows different types of displacement:
• In-line displacement refers to internal movement within conflict lines, representing micro-displacement within the same area.
• Cross-line displacement involves internal migration across different conflict lines.
• Cross-border displacement indicates migration across international borders.

Key areas depicted include Idlib, Aleppo, Damascus, and surrounding regions. For instance, in the Idlib area, movements include staying (2011-2012), in-line displacement (2013-2021), and cross-border return (2013). Another example is the Yarmuk Camp and Al Hajar Al Aswad areas near Damascus, showing various phases of displacement from 2011 to 2021.

This visual representation helps to understand how different regions experience displacement and mobility, depending on the controlling forces and the nature of the conflict.
