Overview
An interactive Web GIS prototype that helps users explore illustrative climate-risk patterns across 151 Ugandan districts through hazard, sector, timeframe and scenario filters.
The challenge
How can a complex climate-risk model become an understandable, explorable public experience without overstating the authority of demonstration data?
Audience and constraints
Development organisations, public institutions, climate and resilience teams, analysts, consultants and communities interested in geospatial decision-support tools.
The prototype had to work without paid map services, make the synthetic-data limitation unmistakable, support district-level exploration and remain usable across desktop and mobile screens.
My role
Product concept, UX/UI, information architecture, data storytelling, prototype development, responsive design, accessibility, documentation and quality assurance.
Approach and key decisions
Defined the risk-exploration journey, structured deterministic demonstration data, connected Uganda district boundaries to filterable indicators, designed 2D and 3D analytical views, and documented methodology, accessibility, data provenance and future official-data integration.
Deliverables
A responsive Web GIS prototype with district exploration, climate and scenario filters, local profiles, baseline comparison and supporting documentation.
Outcome
The prototype demonstrates a complete interaction model across 151 districts, with filters, responsive layouts and clear scenario states. It is a demonstration product and does not present operational climate-risk data.
151 illustrative district areas · 6 hazards and 8 sectors in the source prototype · 1.1 MB light public dataset
What I learned
A demonstration model must make the limits of synthetic data as visible as the interactions that make the data explorable.
