A small repo for code that I write for my A-level Geography coursework/non-examined assessment (NEA)

Includes a word cloud generator that uses the wordcloud module and a requirements.txt file for easy installation of dependencies

Now also includes "crime_analyser.py" which is a script that summarises the data from the crime data set

The wordcloud generator is a Python server that handles requests from the client and generates a wordcloud based on the data sent from the client. You can view it at https://wordcloud.pages.dev.

The Replit instance that this is running on is available here: https://replit.com/@Draggie/Geog-NEA-Wordcloud

Firstly, clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/Draggie306/Geography-ALevel-NEA.git

Then, run pip -r requirements.txt to install dependencies.

Make sure the code has bool repl_save to True if you're running on a Linux distro like Replit

You might want to change the parameters in the WordCloud function from an 8K output to something smaller like:

    width=1920,  # This is a 1920x1080 16:9 monitor
    height=1080,  
    max_words=1000,
    background_color="white",

Change the code to not have any Flask stuff - just the wordcloud generation (should be fairly easy to do) Pass in the data you want to generate the wordcloud from as a string and magic should happen

This script is a simple script that analyses the crime data set from https://data.police.uk/data/ and outputs a list of crime types and their average count per month for any given area (in this case, Norwich 007E) from Oct 2020 to Sept 2023. You can change the area and time period by changing the folder_path variable in the for loop.

Firstly, clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/Draggie306/Geography-ALevel-NEA.git

The only dependencies are os, csv and collections, so you should be able to run it without installing anything

Currently, there is no support for changing directories so you will have to change the folder_path variable in the for loop to the directory of the data set you want to analyse

Go to https://data.police.uk/data/ and download the data set you want to analyse, and unzip it into the directory you have hardcoded into the script.

Then, run the script with python crime_analyser.py and it should output a list of crime types and their average count per month for any given area (in this case, Norwich 007E) from Oct 2020 to Sept 2023.

Example output:

From this data, you can then analyse it - I trust you! :)
