Abstract
Abstract. At the beginning of any crisis, including pandemics, it is very important to provide timely information to expert headquarters at the local and global level so that they can make daily decisions about measures and behavior of the population. Support for this can be a combination of analytical and statistical data together with the locations from which these data were collected. Part of the cartographic visualization deals precisely with the ways of designing and visual presentation based on which it would be clear to the user where the biggest hotspots and the biggest changes are compared to the previous period. The paper describes the origin and proposal of the original dashboard for monitoring the COVID pandemic in Croatia. The dashboard contains and combines thematic data and displays it with the layout and design carefully determined. The goal is for the data to be implemented as soon as it is available to the public. Similar works available on the Internet are also shown. The entire course of making the dashboard for the COVID pandemic and dissemination data is described, as well as data sources, software, problems encountered and solutions.
Highlights
Today's hyper globalized, connected and constantly changing world, in which adaptation to new extreme and radically different situations and lifestyles is nothing new, is mostly shaped and changed through crises like the one that hit it in 2020 and which, it continues. These are the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19 pandemic), the current pandemic of the new respiratory disease COVID-19 and the first officially declared pandemic after the swine flu pandemic in 2009, which appeared in late 2019 in the Chinese megacity of Wuhan, to date has spread around the world and which, as of January 12, 2021, infected a total of 91,375,751 people, of whom 1,954,565 died. (Wikipedia, 2021)
In the sea of interactive maps of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) at the level of the whole world and the Republic of Croatia, four interactive web cartographs made either by independent experts in GIS and geoinformatics or by world organizations, authorities and institutions by action directly related to virus control
The problem that all these interactive maps and dashboards have is the fact that they contain only the latest data sorted by spatial units, while previously published data are deleted, which makes it impossible to follow the change of a certain attribute over time through an interactive cartographic display
Summary
Today's hyper globalized, connected and constantly changing world, in which adaptation to new extreme and radically different situations and lifestyles is nothing new, is mostly shaped and changed through crises like the one that hit it in 2020 and which, it continues These are the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19 pandemic), the current pandemic of the new respiratory disease COVID-19 and the first officially declared pandemic after the swine flu pandemic in 2009, which appeared in late 2019 in the Chinese megacity of Wuhan (in the Chinese province of Hubei), to date has spread around the world and which, as of January 12, 2021, infected a total of 91,375,751 people, of whom 1,954,565 died. Quarter of 2020, a decrease in the number of tourist arrivals and overnight stays by about 80% in October 2020, rising unemployment, etc (DZS, 2021) All these negative trends have encouraged the mobilization of state authorities and a wide range of experts and scientists, all for the purpose of monitoring, controlling, and stopping the further spread of the pandemic. The aim of this seminar was to create an interactive map of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in the Republic of Croatia, i.e., through this technical report to explain all procedures and the entire course of its development (from data collection and selection of software and tools for its development), steps and procedures for its development and, its final design and publication
