| |
| − | <div>Between 1965 and this year, Singapore’s population grew from 1.9 million to 5.71 million. However, the number of citizens aged 65 and above is increasing rapidly, as population growth slows. The size of this group of citizens doubled from 220,000 in year 2000 to 886,000 today, and is expected to increase even more by 2030. As the government look towards new ways in providing better social welfare, we aim to explore the possibility of allocating neighbourhood clinic doctors to nearby HDB blocks to ensure that those with mobility issues or disabilities receives adequate healthcare.</div>

| |
| − | <div><b>Our goals are : </b> </br>
| |
| − | * To build a GIS tool (an R Shiny app)
| |
| − | * Analyse the demand and supply of clinics using the proximity of each clinic in residential zones
| |
| − | * Evaluate results of analysis and provide recommendations to further improve the social welfare for the residents who require special assistance

| − | <div>The code snippets above shows how we can perform web scraping using a Python script. The script mainly does the following in a nutshell:
| |
| − | 1. Visit through each page of the YellowPages Singapore's clinics results in a loop.</br>
| |
| − | 2. Make use of XPATH expressions to retrieve the content (clinic name, address, latitude and longitude) located at specific HTML attributes.</br>
| |
| − | 3. Check whether the retrieved clinic info is a Dental clinic, if yes we will SKIP the result, if not we will proceed to save it.</br>
| |
| − | 4. When all pages are visited, the retrieved clinics information will be parsed and stored into a .CSV file with the respective columns.</br>

| |
| − | Our team may encounter the use of additional R resources that were not taught in class.

| − | Data Cleaning and Transformation
| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | As we need to collect the data from various sources, they may have different attributes such as the Coordinate Reference System (CRS), units of measurement and etc.
| |
| − | ||
| |
| − | Adopt a standardized process of cleaning the data, focusing with what we only need. Most of the datasets used for our project can be found in our Hands-On or Take-Home exercises and we can rely on those existing data.

| − | Limitations & Constraints in Datasets
| |

| |
| − | There are certain assumptions that we need to make based on the context and purpose of our project, such as the average number of doctors in a particular clinic, which cannot be derived from our datasets.
