Abstract

Searching clandestine graves is a huge task being conducted by many people around the world. In Mexico, this activity has steadily grown since the disappearance of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa, Gro. leading to the discovery of over a hundred of clandestine graves in the vicinity of Iguala, Gro. In order to facilitate extensive searches, a map of the potential distribution of clandestine graves would be valuable as it can reduce time, cost and effort paid by search brigades. This paper introduces the concept of clandestine space, shows its relation with known grave locations and uses it to map the potential distribution of clandestine graves in Guerrero by means of a machine learning approach.

Keyphrases: Clandestine graves, MaxEnt, spatial accessibility, Spatial Privacy
