DATA INSIGHT: DATA VISUALIZATION ON URBANIZATION AND MIGRATION PATTERNS OF THE MALAYSIAN POPULATION

Abstract

The demographic and economic environment of Malaysia has been impacted by two important phenomena: urbanisation and migration. The distribution of the population across the nation as well as the expansion and development of metropolitan centres have both been impacted by migratory patterns at the same time. Despite the importance of understanding the dynamics of urbanization and migration patterns in Malaysia, there is a lack of comprehensive data analysis on this topic. This research aims to design and develop an interactive dashboard that offers information related to the urbanization and migration patterns of the Malaysian population. Data analysis and data visualization for this project research were performed using Jupyter Notebook and Power BI framework. Agile methodology has been used in this research. The first objective of the research is to identify the system requirements for the data visualization on urbanization and migration patterns of the Malaysian population. The second objective is to design an interactive dashboard and the third objective is to develop an interactive dashboard of urbanization and migration patterns of the Malaysian population. The findings from the first objective are the functional and non-functional requirements of the system. The findings of the second objective are the storyboard, wireframe, flowchart and use case diagram, and the findings for the third objective are front-end development and back-end development for the data visualization. Findings from this research reveal that the factors for migration driven by economic opportunities, educational prospects, and family reunification, and business opportunities. Encouraging unrestricted access to the datasets and visualization tools can foster cooperation and additional study, leading to a more thorough comprehension of Malaysia's urbanization and migration patterns. This can benefit the data visualization industry and become applicable and effective in tackling the changing issues of urbanization and migration trends in Malaysia.
