Data visualization for distribution of people with disabilities

Abstract

Data visualizations make data easier for the human brain to understand, and visualization also makes it easier to detect patterns, trends, and styles in groups of data. With the development of the data visualization, more and more data which contains the information of disabled population has been collected. However, researchers have pointed out some problems with visualizing data especially using traditional methods. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a web-based system for data visualization of disabled people distribution in Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia. Prototyping methodology was chosen in order to develop the web-based system. The results show two main interfaces of the web system which are the admin module and user module. Users may see a specific area, type of disabled people categories and the number of disabled people in the located area from the Google Map. This web system is hope to help public in identifying disabled people location using data visualization technique. In addition, in future it could help the authorize institutions/bodies in doing better planning for disabled people education, facilities and other needs based on its location distribution.

Online Student Performance System integrating Multidimensional Data Visualization and Chatbot for Primary School

“…Based on Baharum et al [20], to make it easier for a user to detect the patterns, trends, and styles in a group of data, data visualization is the tool to interpret for the human brain. Visualization is becoming an increasingly valuable method for making sense of the trillions of rows of data produced every day.…”

“…They are disabled differently including visual impairment, hearing impairment, speech impairment, learning disability, multiple disabilities, mental disability, and physical disability [12]. Among the various kinds of disabilities, visual impairment is one of the serious problems.…”

“…Meanwhile in Malaysia, as of December 2020, there were 578,591 of PWDs officially registered by the Malaysian Social Welfare Department [12]. From the total figure, there were 36,692 visually impaired people registered in 2017, and the number increased to 51,306 in December 2020 (Table 1).…”

“…This study focuses on low vision. People with low vision mean their eyes have defects in vision functions that are unable to be corrected through spectacles, or contact lenses, or medical or surgical treatment [12]. This means they have a profound visual disability, but still retain some useful eyesight.…”
