III. METHODOLOGY

A. Downloading the Dataset

We searched for the dataset that would be appropriate
for our project as we required various fields in our project
which can be further used for geolocation and appropriate
plotting of area, so after downloading such dataset we will
now go towards the next step.

B. Cleaning and Visualisation of Data

less-frustrated employees. So the actually dataset was
extremely vast and consisted of data which was not required.
So in data cleaning process we deleted the unwanted
columns and made the dataset ready for data visualisation.

 Data visualisation
Data visualization is the graphical representation of
information and data. By using visual elements like charts,
graphs, and maps, data visualization tools provide an
accessible way to see and understand trends, outliers, and
patterns in data. Additionally, it provides an excellent way
for employees or business owners to present data to non-
technical audiences without confusion. Data visualisation
can prove to be very helpful as we can see the data
beforehand and how it is and all the trends can be observed.

and so on. It provides a straightforward method for
categorising the groups in the unlabelled dataset on our own,
without the requirement for any training. It also enables us
to cluster the data into several groups. Each cluster has a
centroid assigned to it because the algorithm is centroid-
based. This algorithm's primary goal is to reduce the total
distances between each data point and its corresponding
clusters. K-means clustering is utilised in this project. Here
we will be setting the max value of K to be 10 it can be
anything between that.

For the first part the algorithm takes value to be 7 and  Extract geolocation data
plots the elbow method graph. Any type of information that makes it possible to
pinpoint the position of a person or an object on Earth with
some degree of accuracy is referred to as geolocation data.
Typically, a signal from an electronic device, such a mobile
phone, connected automobile, or smart watch, is used to
create this data. In general, geolocation data serves one or
more of three purposes. The most typical example is
identifying an object's position on Earth using longitude and
latitude coordinates. A digital artefact like a picture or social
media post can also get geographical information added to
it. Finally, it can provide additional context for a well-
known location, such as what is there and when it is
accessible to the public. So once we done with data
cleaning, visualization and k-means clustering we will go on
to extracting the geolocation data that will be ready to be
plotted on the map. In this we have used the foursquare api
for extracting the geolocation data.

data from CRM, ERP or Excel spreadsheets into a web
mapping software solution. This enables you to visualize
the data geographically instead of simply looking at a pile
of numbers, which can provide an enhanced level of
insight into your operation. Map plotting solutions allow
you to create maps based on your data and supplemented
with zip codes, counties, states and key demographic data.
These maps can be shared as printed wall maps, image
files, or as map URL’s, with other key members of your
team. In the situation the maps will give the students
approximate idea of what is the ideal location for there stay
accordingly they can checkout housing in the given
location.[23]

data is very important. Having clean data will ultimately
increase overall productivity and allow for the highest
quality information in your decision-making. Benefits
include: Removal of errors when multiple sources of data

we do is we take only the necessary data columns so that we Fig 5 Plotted Map

IV. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION  Info Page

In order to give this system a frontend in which people

can enter the details of the kind of area they want to live in
we developed a app. So in this app the person can all the
details that are required for a student to find a student a good
locality. The fields include GPA, Gender, Employment
status, Preferred cuisine, Income/Allowance, Preferred
recreational activities. Once the user enters al this details
and click on “FIND ME A LOCALITY” he gets a locality
found according to the choices that he entered and it will be
perfect for him to live in.

Here are some of the screenshots of the app.
