about «Zurich's big 5»

home   about
 

This website was realized at the first TWIST-2018 Hackdays (stadt-zuerich.ch), which took place on 25.08. & 26.08.2018 in the context of the Swiss Statistics Meeting (statistiktage.ch) 2018.

Context / Question: People from other parts of Switzerland or from abroad would like to settle in Zurich. Which quarter fits best to your preferences? Based on this question the Twist2018 hack team decided to use 5 criteria as amenities (schools, sports), diversity (nationalities, age distribution, length of stay), environment (green areas, air pollution, population density, parking), living (rent, requests Züri wie neu (zueriwieneu.ch), culture (public art, fountains, view points).

There has been used LOSD (Linked Open Statistical Data), City of Zurich. The Statistics Office (stadt-zuerich.ch) of the City of Zurich has decided to publish its data as Linked Open Data.

Remark: This website and the data behind are just a "Hack-Version". Not all functions are working as they would in a final version. Only the (change of the) first criteria counts and is visualized in updating the map because there is no combination & ranking of all 5 data sets so far and the Escher Wyss example visualization is an image but all shown data should be accurate.
