Refugee camps are often perceived as temporary settlements; however, reality usually dictates their long-term or even permanent nature.

Host countries play a pivotal role in shaping the spatial dynamics of refugee camps. This paper ar…
Transportation in refugee camps
As refugee camps (RCs) transition into urban-like settlements, resembling cities, the need for effective transportation systems becomes critical to support refugees’ mobility, connectivity, accessibility, and overall well-being. This article examines transportation infrastructure in RCs across Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq, focusing on accessibility, safety, affordability, and sustainability, aligning with Target 11.2 of the 2030 Agenda.

Assessing shelter sustainability in refugee camps in the Middle East
This study examines shelter conditions and their sustainability in refugee camps in the Arab bordering countries, a decade after their establishment within the context of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 11.

This improvement, in turn, may help them return to their homes in the future or may, at least, reduce the high cost and negative copi…
