===== Introduction =====

==== Project context ====

PLORABUNT is a tool developed within Work Package 6 (WP6) of the ITSERR project, aimed at the collection, management, and analysis of episodes of violence or attacks occurring in places of worship.

The system is integrated into the RESILIENCE RI ecosystem, with the goal of providing an advanced research platform that can be filtered according to thematic and geographic parameters, and that includes collaborative resource management functionalities.

This approach enables researchers to explore structured data related to attacks in religious contexts, supporting both qualitative and quantitative analysis within a shared research environment.

==== Research and data exploration approach ====

PLORABUNT is designed to support the structured exploration and analysis of episodes of violence or attacks occurring in places of worship through a data-driven research approach.

The platform provides advanced search functionalities that allow users to query the dataset using both free-text search and structured filters.  
Search results can be refined according to multiple criteria, including thematic categories, geographic location, and temporal range.

PLORABUNT integrates interactive visualization tools that enable users to analyze data both in list-based views and through geographic representations, supporting the identification of spatial patterns and trends.

This approach allows researchers to perform both qualitative and quantitative analysis on structured datasets, facilitating comparative studies, thematic investigations, and cross-regional analysis within a shared research environment.
