Apreciación de la situación de la población inmigrante en Ecuador, basada en mapas cognitivos neutrosóficos

Abstract:

Legal norms regulate the situation of migrants. However, at the international level they are primarily responsible for establishing fundamental human rights, but the normative development of both the United Nations and the ILO focuses primarily on analyzing the situation of migrant workers on a regular basis, leaving aside the situation of irregular migrant workers. This paper aims to determine the aspects that most influence to dignify the irregular migrants’ lives in Ecuador. For this end, the Cognitive Neutrosophic Maps will be applied, which are fuzzy cognitive maps where indeterminacy is included. Cognitive maps are basically directed graphs where the vertices represent concepts and the edges represent connections between these concepts, in addition a weight that indicates if there exists a relationship among the concepts are included, and also if those relationships are direct or inverse. In the case of neutrosophic cognitive maps, the possibility of representing indeterminate relationships is also incorporated. This study is based on the interview and survey of 60 irregular migrants throughout the country, whose data were analyzed by three experts.
