Where There’s a Link, There’s a Way

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been a proliferation of websites and portals developed to share resources about the topic. Your challenge is to find innovative ways to present and analyze integrated, real-time information about the environmental factors affecting the spread of COVID-19.

Impacts of COVID-19

Summary

In our project, we are trying to visualize and analyse real time information about the environmental factors which are affecting the spread of COVID-19. Here, we are presenting our project through an Android Application. In our App, we are focusing to display the distribution of COVID-19 cases and their impacts on environment sectors and human health sectors. We are trying to show those informations regionally and globally.

How We Addressed This Challenge

In our project, we develop  an Android Application in which we describe environmental factors, Worldwide  Statistics, Prevention during COVID-19 period,Post COVID-19 Effects and Awarness of COVID-19.

1. In Environmental Factors, we discused about Air Quality, Water Quality,Reduce of Light Pollution,Deforestation,Hunting and Safe Issues for Industry during COVID-19 period which reflected the comparison between before and during COVID-19.

  •  In Air Quality, we compared the average concentration in March of 2015-19 & March of this year.We also add real time view of air quality index where real time datas are given.
  • In Water Quality,we present water level in Bay and surroundings.Here, we also add real time view of water quality such as Temperature,pH, Turbidi,Chlorophyll RFU and so on.
  • In Reducing Light Pollution, we showed the changes of artificial traffic lights of cities (for example Wuhan of China) by which the environment pollution are decresing as people are in quarantine.Besides, we included real time light pollution map globally here.
  • On the other hand, in this pandemic era some people are willing to do illegal work like deforestation. They are cutting trees which will effect in our near future. Here, we also showed the current alarming position of deforestation globally.
  • There are also some culprits who are hunting wild animals in this time as people's concentration are not much on this issue.
  • As the environment is improving , some industrial companies are trying to take this chance for not maintaining proper environmental safety issues during running their industries.

 2. Here we also showed Worldwide Statistics of COVID-19 cases. We tried to differentiate the   total confirmed cases,total recovered cases, new cases and total deaths  of continental and worldwide.

3. Furthermore, we added prevention processes of COVID-19 with the help of WHO and United Nations.

4. We also predicted some post COVID-19 effects such as Food Hunger, Economic Damage,Unemployment,Education Barriers and Mental Health through static graph between before and during COVID-19.From this prediction, policy makers can concentrate these issues before it's getting worst.

Last but not the least, we tried to make people awareness by including animated videos with the help of WHO. 

In our Application, we tried to use pictures, graphs, animated videos as anyone can use this application easily.        


How We Developed This Project

We chose this challenge as this challenge is related to COVID-19, environmental sectors and human health sectors.We thought this environmental sectors and human sectors are most important part for us as well as world.We tried to develop our project by focusing our challenge including consideration parts. Here, we used Android Studio for making our Android Application. In language, we used JAVA and XML for our project.During making our project, we have faced some difficulties like data set resourses were not friendly enough to access. It was difficult for us finding appropriate APIs.

Project Demo

Here , we are giving a drive link in which we uploaded our project slides and a short video which explains our project.
