Building peace by monitoring human activities from space

High-Level Project Summary

As I learned in the course 'Achieving Sustainable Development' from Trinity College Dublin, peace is one of the most improtant SDGs as you cannot achieve an SDG without having peace in a nation. The 3 problems that I analyzed are relevant in Dublin, Ireland. By excuting profound desk and futures research, I have come up with 3 ideas on how the Dublin government could use data collected by NASA satellites to improve urban development by keeping peace in the city.

Detailed Project Description

I hope my project gives the authorities in Dublin more insights on how to tackle social problems from a different perspective. Approaching the urban development goal from another perspective can be mind-opening and lead to better solutions as all the 17 SDGs are correlated to each other. I have they will achieve a better plan for peacekeeping.

Space Agency Data

I have mostly used information from courses and reports that I have written about space innovations and futures research. Collecting research on the different data collection methods used by satellites and linking them to existing or non-existing innovations was the biggest part of my project.

Hackathon Journey

This is the first time I participate in a hackathon. Due to a very busy weekend, I have had just a couple of hours to work on my project. My apologies if the final form of my project is not what you wished for. I hope I will be able to perform better on the next Space Apps Hackathon.
