Every parent wants their child to have the best upbringing. In a developed country such as Singapore, that means a wholesome development of the child. Apart from education, other factors such as proximity to MRT stations, to play areas and parks, are important factors in parents’ life choices these days. Moreover, there is an increasing trend by which people move to a new house to get their kids enrolled into the “better” schools of Singapore. However, they make this choice based on very subjective critera, such as school “rankings”, advice from friends and hearsay. Considering that moving to a new house is one of the most expensive, valuable and permanent activities families undertake, we believe that families should be allowed to make the best choices for themselves.
The project will have 3 main components:
- A dashboard tool built in R Shiny that the users can use to play around with the different attributes given and their respective importance, to find out which neighbourhoods are the best for them, using mainly chloropleth maps and accessibility analysis
- An add-on option that allows the same analysis with SHPfiles from other areas in the world, using certain parameters
- An analysis view for the government agencies to see potential areas of interest with regards to additional development, using Voronoi maps, Chloropleth maps and accessibility analysis.
