This is an exercise to combine different data layers and provide projections of socio-economic impact to allow government and private entities plan accordingly. Ideally, we have geo-location data and earth observation raster data particularly on air quality (aerosols from NASA, Copernicus) which first measures change detection of air quality between the period prior to COVID-19 and post-COVID-19. Then the urban settlement data and other socio-economic data such as humanitarian, security crisis, consumer behaviors, are used to model the expected future. The deliverable is a dynamic dashboard that hosts the analytics to allow decision makers, consumers and businesses to make informed choices and decisions.
Inspiration is drawn from the vast information available today in different platforms, and the idea is to aggregate this information and produce added-value services for decision making.Mainly we make use of open source software such as QGIS, SAGA GIS, Google Analytics, etc.
