Mapping Women's Safety through Location-Based Reviews

Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual framework for addressing women's safety concerns during travel and exploration through the development of an intuitive web-based platform. The proposed platform aims to empower users by providing a means to report unsafe locations with multimedia evidence, engage with stakeholders, and access real-time safety indices. Through a systematic classification of location-based data, areas are categorized based on permanent and temporary factors, enabling informed decision-making and risk assessment. Key features outlined in the proposed platform include user registration, review submission, administrator management, report generation, event visualization, safety coordinator oversight, and identification of safety improvements. While the platform itself is in the conceptual stage, this paper lays the groundwork for its development, emphasizing collaborative efforts and robust security measures to foster safer communities.
