Objectives
To achieve the aim of the thesis, several goals and subgoals are established:
Objective 1
The first goal is to perform user evaluation on existing dashboards with the aim of obtaining insights about the user interaction with their functionalities and whether they correctly transfer the information to the user or not.
This consists in a formative study which results allow us to identify the problematic elements of these dashboards and formulate recommendations, which are used to obtain insights of which elements of a dashboard are user-friendly and communicate the information accordingly.
Objective 2
The second goal is to elaborate two self-developed dashboards according to the insights obtained in goal 1. Once the problematic elements and the recommendations for improving user interaction are identified, two dashboards are created to confirm or reject the recommendations formulated regarding the insights from the first goal within the third goal.
Also, the aim is to get familiar with dashboard development technologies by creating a spatial data infrastructure that contains a back-end system that retrieves and pulls data, and a user interface (front-end) to visualise it.
Objective 3
The third goal is to perform user evaluation on the two self-developed dashboards taking into account the insights of goal 1. It also consists of a formative study that will identify (and compare) the positive and negative elements of each dashboard to conclude with the previous studies. The processing and analysis of the obtained data lead to the results and final conclusions.
