Visualization discussion

The ultimate aim of this project is to make a visualization tool that can:

• Map the displacement figures and locations, identify hotspots and trends.
• Visualize reporting frequency and statistics for a selected region (using histogram or other such charts)
• Display excerpts of documents where the relevant information is reported (either by looking at the map or browsing the list of URLs).
• Visualize anything else you can think of!

To get started, datasets to play with can be found here.

Some refugee visualizations for inspiration:

• Refugee Project
• IDMC Carto Visualization

Less directly related but still cool:

• Charles Joseph Minard visualizing 6 types of data in 2 dimensions on Napoleonic campaign
• Visualizing Boston's Subway System

Non-interactive visualizations:

• Perceived vs real size of Muslim population in France, U.S. and elsewhere

These each take a bit to load, but I also found these to be inspirational:

This is the one from IOM (not the prettiest one, but people working in the field told me they find it very useful): http://migration.iom.int/europe/
