Abstract

This paper focuses on four aspects: the factors affecting the movement of refugees, the optimal migration path, the allocation of resources and relevant policies to support our refugee model. Firstly, we adopt analytic hierarchy process(AHP) to analyze the factors and got a criterion to measure the refugee crisis. The analytic hierarchy process is consistent with the actual situation, which shows that the selected parameters are relatively reasonable. Secondly, we use the min-cost max-flow algorithm to develop a reasonable flow of refugees. Three strategies can be set correspondingly. The first strategy is regarded as the best, in which the number of casualties is minimum. Then multi-objective optimization dynamic programming model was used to realize the best allocation of resources in different regions. The result shows that the feed is the biggest consumption, followed by the capacity to house and protect. When the non-governmental organizations and other refugee destinations are added, the tendency of the change becomes gentle.
