Abstract
Climate hazards in Hawai'i are increasing in both frequency and severity, with varying impacts over vulnerable communities. This paper presents the Community Census and Spatial Visualization Index (CCSVI), a web-based geospatial visualization platform that integrates climate hazard data with socioeconomic and infrastructural datasets. This system enables users to explore the correlation between environmental risks and social vulnerability through interactive mapping and layered data visualizations. Social vulnerability and climate hazard data are commonly collected individually, this causes the data to be disjointed making it difficult to combine and analyze directly. With data being unrelated when collected, finding direct comparisons and combining the data is difficult resulting in many non-expert users to not understand the data. Additionally, many existing tools focus on only one of…
