Highlights•Reductionist analysis of the movement factors of Sahelian transhumant herds.•Influence of each herd movement factor in the transhumant's decision-making process.•Confirmation of transhumance's social dimension using microsimulations and GPS data.•Scenarios for Sahel Pastoral land-use Plan and Securitization.•Hierarchization of herd movement factors to model Sahelian transhumance.AbstractSahelian transhumance is a seasonal movement of herds based on strategies. These strategies are based on environmental and socio-economic factors. However, it is empirically difficult to establish the influence of each factor on the spatio-temporal distribution of herds. This paper presents a microsimulation software Sahelian transhumance simulator (STS). STS determines the spatio-temporal influence of each factor on herd movements. It also proposes scenarios for developing and securing the Sahelian pastoral space.
