Prezi presentation of the socio-economics indicators
Hands-on exercise
For the hands-on exercise, we will provide you with a new demo script. All data was given already during the first week.
In the beginning of the hands-on session, we will fetch the demo script together. However, you can pull the demo script already before the session and browse it through if you'd like. If you'd like to watch a recap on how a git pull is performed, see the beginning of the first workshop recording below.
Video: pulling new changes (approx. 0:00-5:00)
There is no specific extra data for this week. However, all indicators except the water risks have data for another timestep in addition to the circa-2018 we use in the demo code. Those can be used to explore changes in the indicators, but remember to normalise both years using only one timestep's data so that the values between timesteps are comparable.
Home assignment
Discover socio-economics in your study area
Instructions:
- please develop your own research question
- produce EITHER one page infographic OR 'tradional' one page pdf (A4/A3) with following structure: a) title; b) research question and short introduction; c) maps, graphs, etc of the results with captions d) interpretation of the results
- you can get help to possible problems by a) searching from internet: there are many people with similar problems; b) posting question to the R Q&A channel in Teams; c) coming to Thursday workshop, or d) asking us or your fellow students directly
- once you are happy with the end result, please submit the work (see below Submission)
Ideas for research questions:- composition of adaptive capacity and vulnerability
- adaptive capacity vs vulnerability - differences across the project area (you can calculate resilience by subtracting the vulnerability from adaptive capacity)
- population distribution in relation to adaptive capacity and vulnerability
- change over time in adaptive capacity and vulnerability (data for years around 1995 are available too) Note: when you use data from the older timesteps (e.g. 1996), please use the 5th and 95 percentiles from the most recent year (~2018) when normalising and scaling the data, so that those are comparable
Submission: please submit the assignment by using the submission icon below.
ThursdayWednesday workshopThis week workshop will be on Wednesday (see Schedule for location) in where you can get help on the home assignment.
