Abstract (300 words maximum)
Ensuring U.S. citizens are safe while traveling to other countries is a top priority. This project helps students explore the United States' relationship with other countries and is meant to serve as a guide to find the best location for a new U.S. embassy located in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India. For this purpose, a map was created on the city of Bengaluru and incorporates data on many different factors. GIS tools are used to analyze factors such as government buildings, inclement weather, and dangerous weapons to find a new embassy that will also provide accessibility to its civilians by not being near other embassies. Taking these and more points into consideration, the project helps identify the best parcels of land in Bengaluru, India that would be a safe and efficient location for a new United States embassy.
