Part One: Thematic Mapping

Distribution of Public Education Institutions in Singapore

Schools.png


The map shown is a qualitative thematic map with point symbols.
The different public education institutions are symbolized by classifying them based on the institution’s education level, namely Junior College/Centralized Institutions, Mixed Level, Primary and Secondary and plotted on the coastal outline of Singapore.
A light grey fill is chosen for the coastal outline which allows the symbols on the map to stand out with their respective colours, allowing readers to easily see the distribution of the schools across the island.

An attribute, Road_Type was added into the attribute table of the layer, allowing the roads to be classified based on their road type.
The different lines were plotted with contrasting colours to allow users to visualize the hierarchy of the road network system easily.
