Lab Exercise 1: Mapping Burglary Hotspot in Shah Alam - Geovisualization (GLS688)

  Heatmaps are one of the best visualization tools for dense point data. Heatmaps are utilized to effectively recognize discover groups where there is a high convergence of movement. They are likewise valuable for doing cluster analysis and hotspot examination.

    We will work with a dataset of burglary activites in Shah Alam and find crime hotspots in the county by performing HotSpot or Cluster analysis on dense point data. It will answer the highest burglary hotspot in that location and which police jurisdiction need to improvise and develop more of its branches.

Lab 2 Creating Heatmaps using QGIS - Geovisualization (GLS688)

    Heatmaps are one of the best visualization tools for dense point data. Heatmaps are utilized to effectively recognize discover groups where there is a high convergence of movement. They are likewise valuable for doing cluster analysis and hotspot examination.

    We will work with a dataset of crime locations in Surrey, UK for the year 2011 and find crime hotspots in the county by performing HotSpot or Cluster analysis on dense point data. data.police.uk provides street-level crime, outcome, and stop and search data in simple CSV format. Download the data for Surrey Police and unzip the downloaded archive to extract the CSV file.
