On theirjourney they experience moments of immobility and in these periods useful information is in need leading to economic, social or knowledge resources. These resources gives them access to mobility of the following trajectory. The purpose of this study is to investigate information processes used by refugees approaching economic, social and knowledge resources while being in immobility fleeing to Europe and redesigning in information flows in order toease resource collecting. This research made progress through documentary and literature study, empirical analysis in an exploratory in-depth case study by mapping that draws upon field work, and proposes design principles in information provision. The way interventions provide communication for information needs vary in different settings of urban and rural areas. In a urban spread complex information network, provision focuses on filtering andlinking to the surroundings. That is other than in rural areas with limited clustered network, where providers have the role of introducing and connect to a wider existing network.
