The Covid-19 pandemic has altered the living condition of countless individuals worldwide, which caused many employees to be unemployed or even homeless. These citizens authentically need especially food, shelters and job vacancies that can solve or ease their life burdens.
Hence, I was astonished by how drastic the effect of Covid-19 has been, especially by the pictures and films of the refugees. To be specific, a man holding a cardboard written “work for food” stands in the streets, where residents like him were of a great amount. Moreover, in a video, the former happy family are now squeezing in the back of a van, who lost the place they called home.
In my research, I read the reports about the social data provided by various institutes about the authentic state of the unemployed individuals. This, however, proved that I was still too optimistic about the conditions of these people. Furthermore, researches on technical methods to refine the situation was read, which might be utilized in my design for the system to help these homeless individuals.
Thus, in my project, I will design a user interface for a system that might fulfill the need of these pandemic refugees. To tackle their need in food and shelters, there will be a digital map designed with highlighted routes to guide them to the nearest volunteer spot. Besides, to tackle their need in the long turn, there will be a local website to help them change information about jobs available.
