The present project fills in perfectly for the proposed challenge: An Integrated Assessment. The reason why the project does it is the fact that socioeconomic factors can be arranged with spatial data and the answer we got is if they are correlated and if so, how. Therefore, we can better watch the pandemic impacts.
This way , the project is concise with what was asked and can be applied with relative ease as we find the connections between data and dispose them to the public.
Our inspiration is to provide data in an accessible way to different publics in order to ease the comprehension of COVID-19 impacts, understanding how socioeconomic and earth observation data connect.
In order to develop the project, a simple using WEB platform was created that disposes information from trustable sources, like spatial agencies NASA and ESA.
For that, intense data research was needed.
In the prototype, data from spatial agencies NASA and ESA were used for the development of the report of air quality during the pandemic.
Our team had trouble to do a bigger data research due to the short period of time. However, it was possible to end the data combination about “health” and “air quality”, what has helped to transmit the idea through the prototype. There are things that can be improved in the platform, like make it usable to the public that needs a special accessibility. Although that, the idea was clearly and objectively passed by the prototype. Another relevant realization was the positive feedback that we’ve got from the mentors, that classified the idea as innovative. Besides that, there were some difficulties in relation to the edition videos tool for the pitch.
The tools that were used for the development of the prototype are:
- Code and database: PHP, JavaScript, SublimeText, Adobe DreamWeaver, Navicat Premium(Data Base Management System (DBMS)), WampServer, MySQL
-Interface: HTML5, CSS3, Figma, Adobe PhotoShop, Bootstrap
- Pitch edition: Hitfilm Express
- We wanna descomplicate as much as we can the access to scientific data, and for that, we intend to continue our research in open data source, so that we can dispose more relations between socioeconomic and earth observation data;
- The IntegrateData is a project that looks for getting to everyone, for that, we want to improve the platform, ensuring accessibility for all publics.
