The PublicWorksFinanceIT R Package: Retrieve and Visualize Public Works Data

The ‘PublicWorksFinanceIT’ package facilitates the retrieval and analysis of financial data related to public works in Italy, with a specific focus on soil defense investments. The data is gathered from three main sources: the OpenCoesione website, OpenBDAP website, and the ReNDiS database. This package provides a user-friendly tool for accessing and analyzing the data, ensuring real-time updates. The records from these sources are linked using unique project codes, preventing duplication. The data is geographically referenced, allowing users to obtain information at the region, province, and municipality levels. The package includes functions for data retrieval, and visualization on maps.
