The Impact of Countermobility on the Change of Illegal Migration Routes

Abstract

Based on the UNHCR's data, the number of asylum seekers has radically increased worldwide in 2013. In 2012, the number of asylum seekers was 900,000, reaching 1,635,288 by the end of 2014. It soon became clear that the handling of masses moving in one direction is not suitable with current migration management tools. The causes of the migration crisis and the investigation of the solutions had begun. In addition, it was necessary to effectively handle people on the road. An important element of this task is obstructing uncontrolled movements and the development of controlled motion paths.
