## :pushpin: About
9-
SAR-EQViz is a revolutionary approach to post-seismic analysis and visualization. By showing land displacement data from SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data and high-resolution, up-close drone scans. We developed an interactive digital art platform that serves as an educational tool, an advocacy platform, and a bridge between scientific data and public understanding.
10-
11-
Users such as civil engineers, urban planners, architects, and the local government can dynamically explore the affected regions, witnessing the post-earthquake land transformations, enabling them to conduct in-depth analysis and reconstruction plannings. The drone spotlights the urgent needs and challenges on the ground.

It not only bridges the gap between raw data and human stories but also empowers decision-makers with actionable insights for targeted rehabilitation plans.

## :pushpin: Motivation
16-
The motivation behind SAR-EQViz lies in its capability to revolutionize post-seismic analysis and public understanding. In contrary, traditional assessment methods doesn't envolve public engagement and it is mainly focusing on isolated data sets. By merging SAR data with high resolution scan drones, SAR-EQViz transforms this chunks of information into an interactive digital art platform.

This platform serves multiple purposes: it educates the general public by bridging the often wide gap between complex scientific data and general comprehension, and advocates for targeted and efficient reconstructions. Users ranging from civil engineers and urban planners to local government agencies can use the platform to check transformations in earth and infrastructure post-earthquake. This facilitates more in-depth analysis and data-driven decision-making for reconstruction projects.
