The QGIS 3 plugin “TerrCtrl”, short for territorial control, which calculates the location and extent of territory controlled by warring parties during civil wars after each combat.

This plugin calculates and visualizes territorial control status based on violent conflict event, using a hybrid transport network to approximate reachable space within a given time. It relies on data measuring the occurrence and location of violent events to identify the degree to which a warring party exercises control. The territory is calculated as a drive-time buffer from the conflict location to estimate the region where the warring party can project military power within a specified time window. The size and shape of the territory is determined by both on-road and off-road movements on a hybrid transportation network with both existing road/railway data and hexagon-fishnet-based artificial road data. This design guarantees its applicability to countries or regions with inferior transportation infrastructure where off-road movement of the military is common. The results can be used to reflect a quasi-real-time status of territorial controls of a specific region on the map. They can also serve as the input of further scientific analysis.
