Subject: Data Relevance Report for Capstone Project

Dear [Management],

I am pleased to present the data relevance report for our Capstone Project, focusing on selecting an
open-source database, proposing a use case, and identifying the relevant data for analysis. This report
outlines the chosen dataset, the use case, indicators/variables definition, data value, data availability
assessment, and prioritized actions for data collection, preparation, and analysis.

1. Dataset Selection:

After careful consideration, we have selected the “Global Air Quality Database” as our open-source
dataset for analysis. This dataset provides historical air quality measurements from various monitoring
stations worldwide, encompassing pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3),
and others.

2. Use Case:

The data from the Global Air Quality Database will help us improve our ability to do business by enabling
the following use case:

Use Case: Air Quality Management

Objective: Optimize air quality monitoring and provide actionable insights for decision-making.

Expected Outcome: Enhance public health, support urban planning, and drive sustainability initiatives.

3. Indicators/Variables Definition:
a) Directly Available Data:

- Pollutant Concentrations: PM2.5, PM10, NO2, O3, etc., measured in micrograms per cubic meter
(µg/m³).

- Timestamp: Date and time of each measurement.

- Geographic Information: Latitude and longitude coordinates of monitoring stations.

- Station Information: Station ID, station name, country, city, etc.

b) Additional Data to Collect:

- Meteorological Data: Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction to study the correlation
between weather conditions and air quality.

- Traffic Data: Traffic volume, congestion levels, and proximity to major roadways to analyze the impact
of vehicular emissions on air quality.

- Land Use Data: Information about land usage (residential, industrial, green spaces) to assess the
relationship between urban development and air pollution.

4. Data Value:

The importance of the selected data for our project can be summarized on a scale from 1 to 5 as follows:

a) Directly Available Data: 4

b) Additional Data to Collect: 3

5. Data Availability Assessment:

Assessing the ease of data collection and preparation for analysis on a scale from 1 to 5, we estimate the
following:

a) Directly Available Data: 5


b) Additional Data to Collect: 2

6. Data Priority and Actions:

Considering the data value and availability assessment, the following actions should be prioritized in
terms of data collection, preparation, and analysis:

a) Data Collection:

- Obtain access to the Global Air Quality Database and extract the necessary pollutant concentration
data, timestamps, and station information.

- Identify reliable sources for meteorological data, traffic data, and land use data, ensuring
compatibility with the existing dataset.

b) Data Preparation:

- Clean and preprocess the air quality data by addressing missing values, outliers, and inconsistencies.

- Integrate the additional data sources with the existing dataset, ensuring proper alignment of
timestamps and geographical references.

c) Data Analysis:

- Perform exploratory data analysis to identify trends, patterns, and correlations between pollutant
concentrations, meteorological factors, traffic volumes, and land use.

- Develop predictive models to forecast air quality levels based on historical data and meteorological
conditions.

- Generate actionable insights and visualizations to support decision-making related to air quality
management and urban planning.

By prioritizing these actions, we can leverage the selected dataset and additional data sources to gain
valuable insights into air quality management, thus enhancing public health, supporting urban planning
initiatives, and driving sustainability efforts.

Thank you for considering this data relevance report. Should you have any questions or require further
clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

[Your Name]
