Analytics of historical human migration patterns: use cases of Amsterdam and Copenhagen

ABSTRACT

Human migration is associated with a dynamic process that stimulates the generation of large data streams that hold valuable information and is possible to comprehend through different visualisation methods. In this research, we present an analytical approach to understanding human migration patterns in urban areas of Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Unlike other methods, we propose to map migration data within grid cells by retaining data characteristics and plotting statistical calculation analysis for better visualisation and analytics.
