- A search tool to give a user-friendly view into a large dataset of asylum case decisions.
- Similar to the TRAC database—a popular existing tool, but with many limitations.
- Generate a table of results, a real-time visualization of outcomes, and a real-time graph to represent what the trend looks like over time.
- Show a heatmap where users can map out e.g., “Here are the 10 asylum regions with the highest or lowest grant rates.”
- Need to be able to download search results.
- Journalists
- Researchers
- General public (asylum seekers, activists, etc.)
- Administrators
- Engineers who interact directly with infra (don’t need user auth)
- Add/manage data
- Public Users
- Don’t need to log in—just view and use the public web app
- Search and filter asylum decision data by all columns (as well as any compound combinations)
- Display calendar dates vs. fiscal years in data (display “month and year” and “fiscal year” as separate search)
- Can view and filter on pre-populated geographic regions based on sets of countries for search parameters
- View results in a table and any relevant graphs
- View percentage of cases that were granted based on currently displayed results
- Should be able to save or print reports, charts, and/or graphs generated from a query
The Setup for this project will require a new LTS Version of NodeJS to be installed Node Version 20.x works well for this purpose.
