[datameet] Bangalore Road network and PT network in GIS format

2015-08-10 Thread Jyothi Chava
Hi friends,

I'm desperately looking for the following data. It would be a great help
for my thesis if someone can share this data.

   1. *Street network*: street classification, street name, if any
   additional data related to traffic and transportation. I tried to download
   this data from geofabrik. But the file size is huge so due to network
   issues I didn't able to download.
   2. *Public transit network*: PT routes, PT stops, route timings/
   frequency in GIS format. This data is already available in openbangalore
   blog in SQLITE format. I'm looking for the same data in GIS format. I
   didn't know if is there a way to convert SQLite to GIS


Please if anybody has this data do share.

Thanks

Hey,


1. *Street network*: street classification, street name, if any 
additional data related to traffic and transportation. I tried to download 
this data from geofabrik. But the file size is huge so due to network 
issues I didn't able to download.  

 Have you looked at Mapzen's Metro extracts - 
https://mapzen.com/data/metro-extracts. You can get only Bengaluru's OSM 
data which is ~50MB.

blog in SQLITE format. I'm looking for the same data in GIS format. I

 By GIS format, do you mean shape(*.shp) file? If yes, then you can try 
adding your sqlite file as a layer in QGIS and save as shp file.

[datameet] Data visualization of municipal annual budget

2015-08-10 Thread Nikhil VJ
Hi Friends,

Would you be interested in collaborating to visualize a city's budget data?

Here's something I drummed up last year when analyzing electrical related
expenditures, in a very quick-and-dirty d3.js mashup:
http://nikhilsheth.techydudes.net/files/sunburst%20hover%20details%20csv.html


This was made possible by introducing a parent code column in the data. A
CSV with this basic structure:
Code, Parent Code, Amount, [more details]
..then yields a variable-depth data visualization.

For your reference, here's the data powering the above viz:
http://nikhilsheth.techydudes.net/files/electrical5.csv

This year, I have the whole annual budget of Pune in spreadsheet form
(*http://tiny.cc/punebudget2015
http://tiny.cc/punebudget2015)*, ready for a little cleanup and curating,
after which we could make a data visualization of each of its sections.

The tasks involved can go beyond my individual bandwidth and jugaadu
programming abilities, but with a few more people on board we could pull
off something cool. So looking for collaborators : both in visualization
programming (lets explore more ways of visualizing!), as well as for the
simple and repetitive but necessary tasks of cleaning up, curating the
data, for which you only need basic excel skills and that most precious
resource: time!

Where this could go, in the larger context : Possibility of a buy-in from
the Pune Municipal Corporation to incorporate this as a e-budget,
e-governance, smart city feature. But please don't lynch me if this doesn't
happen.. no certainty here. At least we (CEE) have met the municipal
commissioner (for another topic: budget restructuring) and have talked
about this on the side. A good proof-of-concept would really help to make a
strong case for this.
