Motivation
Terrorism has been on the rise since the late 1900s to today. Using the open-source Global Terrorism Database (GTD), we hope to explore and visualize the various trends of terrorism events around the world. We hope to understand the nature of these events using information such as the date and location of the incident, the weapons used, the number of casualties, and the group or individual responsible for these events.
Objectives
1. Provide interactive platform for data analysis
2. Represent terrorism data in easy to understand visualizations.
3. Discover insights that can be derived from visualizations.
Data Source
The dataset is provided by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) with an aim of increasing public attention of terrorist violence and finding ways to defeat terrorism.
The dataset contains information about global terrorist events from 1970 till 2016, with systematic data on domestic as well as more than 170,000 cases of transnational and international terrorist incidents. For each GTD incident, information is available on the date and location of the incident, the weapons used and nature of the target, the number of casualties, and--when identifiable--the group or individual responsible.
Deliverables
Analysis will be provided in the form of a visualization platform.
Users will be able to make changes to various parameters to do exploratory analysis.
Graphs and charts will be used to showcase the various differences and correlations of data.
Main packages used will be ggplot2 and R Shiny.
