Visualizing Affordable and Safe Housing Options for Urban Dwellers

Urban migration often leads individuals to seek affordable, safe housing near employment or education. Our project presents a visualized solution for finding accommodations that prioritize affordability, safety, and proximity to work or study locations. Unlike existing platforms such as Property24 and Gumtree, our tool integrates crime statistics, geographical data, and price comparisons to help users identify the best living options. With functionalities like price and distance visual queries, bar graph comparisons, and safety metrics, we aim to empower users in their search for a utopian home.

  1. My Utopian Home By: Lynray Barends, Zola Mahlaza & Grace Jegede

  2. Visualisation Motivation • People move to highly urbanized areas for employment/studies/relaxation • But struggle to find good accommodation • We are proposing a visualized way of finding accommodation

  3. What people consider: • Affordable • Safe • close to their work or study place

  4. Related Works 1. Property24 • List formatted data • Not relative to a workplace 2. Gumtree • List formatted • Site has many other features • No map provided

  5. Related Works 3. www.spaceage.co.za: Data analysis - South African crime stats by VusiNkomo • http://goo.gl/MY3bxX • Crime statistics on a provincial level • Not linked to finding accommodation

  6. Important factors: • Affordability - Price • Safety - crime rate • Distance to work place/school - Proximity to X

  7. Prototype 1 1.1 Price and Distance Visual Queries Which apartments are within a 2km radius from place x? Which of the apartments is the cheapest? Where is place x on the map?

  8. Prototype 1 1.2 Bar graph Visual Queries Which apartments are within a 2km radius from place x? Which of the apartments is the cheapest? Where is place x on the map?

  9. Prototype 1 1.3 Safety Visual Queries Which apartments are within a 2km radius from place x? How safe is the area where I will be living? Where is place x on the map?

  10. Prototype 2 1.1 Dart Board Visual Queries Which apartments are within a 2km radius from place x? Which of the apartments is the cheapest? How safe is the area where I will be living?

  11. Prototype 2 1.2 Colour Visual Queries Which apartments are within a 2km radius from place x? Which of the apartments is the cheapest? How safe is the area where I will be living?

  12. Prototype 1 Analysis Map to show relative positions Bar graph to easily compare price ‘heights’ Colourover textures for crime rate of whole areas(avoid clash with map ‘texture’)

  13. Prototype 2 Analysis • Using colours green, yellow, red for increasing crime rates • Distance represented by radius x km • Occlusion, 2.d, colour intensities for ‘closeness’

  14. Data Sources • Map :Google Maps • Prices: Property24 • Distance: user input • Crime: www.crimestats.com • Crime: Western cape government site • find more on: www.inavigate.com
