PART A

A GOOD STUDY THAT USED TREE-CANOPY DATA: WE CAN USE IT AS INSIPIRATION!

LINKS to data sets:


Insect/Widlife Biodiveristy Datasets:


Social / Wealth / Livability

Central idea behind the project:

Urban reforestation: impacts on the society. How trees can help our community. Livability. Is there a correlation between tree and livability. In area with more trees, there is less pollution. Pushing the government to plant more trees. Some suburbs too hot not livable. Social index in this suburbs

What is the idea?

Less tree in the city -> temperature -> livability (Healthy live stile)

what healthy livestile means. How to get this data? Living in hot temperature condition can b econsidered healthy ?

compare the average temperature among melbourne and victoria state.

Which datasets do you need to explore the idea?

Why is it interesting and what can we do with it?


Mockup of the visualisation we want to build

  • INSERT HERE

VIDEO IDEAS:

Beginning of the video:

  • Pictures / videos of the beauty of Victoria, "life is calm, beautiful and full of many wonders".

  • Then videos of the future becoming hotter, harsher and harder to live in "but it's turning hotter and hotter, and harder to live in".

  • Then: Can we go from this Burning ent from LotR to this Eutopia metropolis full of greenery while the outside is burning. Maybe display some facts that some areas of Melbourne will become unlivable if temperatures continue to climb.

  • IDEA reforesting urban areas, joining brutalism back into nature. But how can we convince greedy property developers and councils to sacrifice valuable land for more green?

    • DATA!
  • GO into our idea in the video:

    • We can back our theory that greenifying urban area reduces the surrounding temperatures, and makes the land more habitable and climate change resistant.
    • We will use time-series datasets of a yearly tree canopy survey in Melbourne which gives us a lot of power to make some nice time changing visualisations.
    • It's interesting because we can address a really important topic relevant to our existance. While also incorporating many datasets like ambient temperatures, soil humidity, also socio-economic indexes/people satisfaction - to diversify our theory that people are happier in greener areas.

There go through a Visualisation of how we will try to present the data:
