Development of Geographic Information System based COVID-19 Dashboards using Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS

Abstract

A dashboard is used to view, analyze and manage the key performance indicators of a process or business. It is a kind of information management system. The information in the dashboards can be enhanced by integrating Geographic information systems (GIS) with it. During this age of the pandemic, GIS technologies have been very useful to get a synoptic view of the whole situation and support the global fight against it. This paper reviews a process to build an interactive data driven and GIS based COVID dashboard in a short period of time and that too without any programming skills using Operations Dashboard in ArcGIS Online.
