Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. 

~Leonardo da Vinci

💎 Idea 

• Public finances of vast majority of countries are in grave danger of being squandered due to inefficient expenses. In addition, uneven development of both technical and social infrastructure makes it harder for administrative regions to be evaluated. With use of particular computer information system products, it is possible to proceed with spatial analyses, although costs keep on rising.
• Thus, it is mandatory to consider making use of open-source software. It is possible to assess the development level of social and technical infrastructure based on commonly accessible geoprocessing algorithms, free satellite data sources and free geographic database (e.g. QGIS + Copernicus Data + OpenStreetMap).
• First of all, searching of entities which are deeply isolated in regards to infrastructural aspect. Then, counting terrain value illustrated by infrastructure availability and ecological potential. Such value represents the distance and count of sets of particular facilities and systems that serve administrative entities.

🛰️Use of EU space technologies 

• Our project makes use of Copernicus data (i.e. Sentinel-2).

⛑️Link with the challenges  

• Our project adresses Hackathon's main challenge which is: Supporting sustainable infrastructure development.
