Movement geography investigates how and why people and animals move, the routes they take, the factors that influence their movement decisions, and the repercussions of these movements at both the origin and destination locations. It takes into account the interactions between movement and the physical environment, socioeconomic factors, cultural aspects, and technological advances. Movement geography contributes to a better understanding of spatial interactions, regional development, environmental sustainability, and the social and economic effects of movement at various scales by elucidating movement patterns and processes.In movement geography, two methods are very popular i.e., Characteristics Hull Polygon (CHP) method is a geometric approach that defines a convex shape that encloses a set of coordinates, whereas the Time Geography Density Estimation (TGDE) method analyzes the intensity and patterns of human activities across space and time. Both approaches make it easier to comprehend and analyze spatial data in a variety of contexts.
