dataWar: liveuamap attacks layer

Liveuamap is open data-driven media platform that uploads daily maps, messages, pictures and videos from the conflict zone in Ukraine. We have extracted and processed more than 29.500 events in the Donbass Region from April 2014 to April 2016. First, changing boundaries have been depicted depending on the position and date of an event. Traces advance, reverse or remain throughout the conflict. Second, interactions related to attacks have been filtered in order to draw a geometry of areas with more casualties. The number of attacks modulates the width of lines between different zones. Third, the content of each event has been manually interpreted to summarize the number of death and captured people. Data has been plotted by using points with a variable radius relative to the number of casualties. Fourth, events dealing with humanitarian cooperation, such as refugee camps, have been also geolocated. Finally, speeches and protests act as a symbolic layer, mainly surrounding the city of Donetsk.
