🌿 GreenSetu: GIS-Based Mangrove Analysis System

The project focuses on understanding the environmental impact of rapid urbanization and supporting sustainable urban planning through data-driven insights.

Objectives

• Analyze mangrove cover change from 2015 to 2025
• Estimate carbon stock reduction due to mangrove loss
• Compare mangrove decline with urban expansion
• Develop an interactive web-based dashboard

Data Sources

• Global Mangrove Watch
• Government & environmental reports

How to Run

This project includes a Streamlit dashboard in dashboard_app.py.

1. Create and activate a virtual environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the dashboard

python3 -m streamlit run dashboard_app.py

4. Open it in your browser

After Streamlit starts, open the local URL shown in the terminal. It is usually:

http://localhost:8501

Notes

• The dashboard reads its datasets from the data/ folder automatically.
• For the real mangrove map, place mumbai_mangrove_geometry.geojson or mumbai_mangrove_geometry.csv inside data/.
• Run the command from the project root directory.

Deployment

Recommended: Streamlit Community Cloud

This is the easiest option for this project because the app is already a single-file Streamlit dashboard and does not require secrets.

1. Push this repository to GitHub.
2. Create a new app in Streamlit Community Cloud.
3. Select this repository and branch.
4. Set the main file path to dashboard_app.py.
5. Deploy.

The platform will install packages from requirements.txt automatically.

Docker Deployment

Use this for Render, Railway, a VM, or any container host.

Build the image:

docker build -t greensetu .

Run it locally:

docker run --rm -p 8501:8501 greensetu

The container starts Streamlit with:

streamlit run dashboard_app.py --server.address=0.0.0.0 --server.port=${PORT:-8501}

Non-Docker PaaS Start Command

If your host asks for a start command, use:

streamlit run dashboard_app.py --server.address=0.0.0.0 --server.port=$PORT
