Motivation of the project

Taichung, officially known as Taichung City, is a special municipality located in central Taiwan. Taichung has a population of approximately 2.81 million people and is Taiwan's second most populous city. It serves as the core of the Taichung-Changhua metropolitan area, which is the second largest metropolitan area in Taiwan. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taichung)


Unlike Taipei and Kaohsiung, the Mass Rail Transit(MRT) system has yet to open and is due to open for operation in year 2020. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taichung_Metro) Since Taichung city has a fully developed bus system, which tickets generally cost around NT$250 and depart several times an hour, operates 24 hours. Or other option such as traveling by scooter is also a convenient and common commuting transportation. Therefore, we will like to use QGIS to derive insights on the accessibility between each outlets, to help for future planning and decision making.

Project Objective

Our team aims to present possible reasons and gain better understanding on choices made by the different companies in locating their outlet in specific areas.

The team will provide detailed geographical planning analyze and development solutions for companies in Taichung-Changhua area. We will be focusing on the following aspects of the planning:

  • Population demographic
  • Accessibility
  • Transportation Network
