Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical need for effective disease mapping tools, essential for tracking infectious diseases. Following the WHO's pandemic declaration in March 2020, numerous technological solutions emerged to map cases, assess risk factors, and monitor mobility. However, there remains a shortage of reusable, open-source geovisual analytics tool for rapid response to future pandemics. To address this gap, we developed an innovative open-source JavaScript-based geovisual analytics tool as part of the CyberGIS-Vis project. This paper introduces two visualization modules of CyberGIS-Vis, showcasing their use in visualizing spatiotemporal COVID-19 data by integrating advanced cyberGIS and online visualization with robust analytics for geospatial knowledge discovery.
