Project Motivation

Yishun overall appears to be well-equipped with plenty of schools, accommodation, parks, transportations, sport facilities, entertainment and medical facilities. Yet, the place remains to be one of the most dangerous residential areas to live in and has the highest crime rate in Singapore. Although there has been a decreasing trend in the young (aged between 10 – 25) population in Yishun, the elderly (aged 65 & above) population has increased for about 52% from 2010 to 2015. Furthermore, despite the increasing number of elderly populations in Yishun, the number of elderly care centres in the region seems to be highly lacking.

The motivation of this project is to use Geospatial information and technology in urban planning to provide useful insights that will ensure the safety and well-being of the residents, especially the elderly groups, of Yishun.

Project Objective & Scope

With the growing aging population and decreasing young population of Yishun, it is important to make use of the Geospatial information and technology in order to address some of the social problems and to ensure appropriate urban planning implementations in Yishun.

By making use of our own research and data extracted from various government sources such as Singstat and Data.gov, we aim to provide insights and analysis of Yishun planning area in terms of the followings:

1. Population changes across all age groups
2. Employment trends of Yishun residents
3. Changes in the landscapes of Yishun and their purposes
4. Recommendations on Yishun’s future urban planning
