Visualize geographic data using choropleth maps.
Compare and contrast geographic data using bivariate choropleth maps.

Visualize Political Dynasties

Political dynasties are active in the Philippines, but how prevalent are they? In what ways do they affect the country?

DynastyMap enables you to visualize and compare local political dynasties with Philippines geographic datasets such as poverty, population, and crime rate.

See the relative prevalence of local political dynasties using the tag cloud map.
Compare local political dynasties with geographic data using layers of visualization.

Use Your Own Data

Got your own dataset that you wish to compare with political dynasties? Do you wish to visualize the results of a survey?

DynastyMap allows approved users to upload their own geographic datasets for visualization and comparison with other datasets.

Use any Philippine geographical dataset at any administrative level ‐ regional, provincial, municipal, and barangay levels.
Visualize your own datasets along with other datasets for comparison.

About DynastyMap

DynastyMap is an interactive data visualization tool on political dynasties in the Philippines. The software uses choropleth maps and tag cloud maps to visualize Philippine datasets. Geographic datasets are uploaded by the users, but the political dynasty datasets are provided by the software.

The software adapts the DYNSHA, DYNLAR, and DYNHERF metrics developed by Mendoza et al[1] for quantifying local political dynasties. These metrics are used by the software to provide the political dynasty visualization.

This project was developed by Lean Rada as a degree requirement (Special Problem) in B.S. Computer Science at the University of the Philppines Manila.
