Abstract
Interactive information design and data visualization is a visualization method which requires the efficient display of complex data sets using design principles, data analysis, technological tools like programming and creative coding. In this research, the environmental effects of the Syrian war are displayed in an interactive, digital setting. This case study reflects only a small amount of the current damage in Syria, giving an overall idea about the catastrophic effects of military activities. The visualization was created based on PAX for Peace organization’s “Amidst the Debris, A Desktop Study on the Environmental and Public Health Impact of Syria’s Conflict” report (Zwijnenburg & Kristine).
