'''Natural Conservation:''' The selected site needs to be away from forested land, park and water as when the disease enter the water bodies of Singapore. The data was extracted from BBBike@Singapore.

'''Elevation:''' The selected site needs to avoid slope as this will incur large construction cost as steep slopes involves a lot of cut-and-fills and leads to relatively higher development costs. The data was extracted from NASA's EarthData Search Site and was prepared by importing the raster data into QGIS. The higher the value, the higher the elevation of the location , measured in degrees.

2.Health Risk  (2nd most important): Singapore is has a high population density and if the disease easily reaches nearby buildings, it would easily cause multiplier effect and the masses would be affected very quickly. Hence, it is important that the disease centre is not at a location that is near to people.

3.Economic (3rd most important): As it is built by the government, cost would not be a major issue as a disease quarantine centre is a necessary place to be built. However, if built on a slope, much cost would be incurred and would be a bigger issue than road paving, which would cost much less.

The data was extracted from BBBike@Singapore. The targeted roads had to be extracted by 'select features using an expression' to extract the service roads and tracks from the 'type' column.

Preparation for Proximity Calculation : To prepare the proximity layer, the vector layers of (buildings,roads, natural) needs to be rasterised such that the proximity of the features can be calculated. Proximity (Raster Distance) needs to the input GIS layer in raster format.


Buildings: The furthest distance from any point to a building within the Gombak study area is 826.62m whereas the closest distance to a building is 0m.

Target Roads: The furthest distance within the Gombak study area to a road is 722.496m and the closest distance is 0m.

Natural Conservation: The furthest distance within the Gombak study area to natural features is 863.669m and the closest distance is 0m.

Elevation: The minimum and maximum of slope features within Gombak is 0 and 36.4308 degrees respectively.

Part 3: Criterion Score of Factor Layers

In order to normalize the data, the min-max method was used to standardize the layers.

Economic (proxslope_layer-0)/(36.4308-0)
Accessibility (proxroad_layer-0)/(722.496-0)
Health Risk (proxbuildings_layer-0)/(826.62-0)
Natural Conservation (proxnatural_features-0)/(863.669-0)

The following area in brown, would be the most suitable land area to build a disease center as it has a land size of 41732 m^2.

Firstly, the suitability land plot is created by using the weights generated from the AHP report and inputing this formula into the 'Raster Calculator' feature : 0.092*(1-"slope_normalized@1") +0.050*(1-"prox_roads_normalized@1")+0.320*"proxbuildings_normalized@1"+0.538*"prox_natural_normalized@1"

Then, the rasterized combined layer was converted into a vector layer using the 'Polygonize' feature. Following, an additional column was added to the attribute table which showed the area size of each feature. Then only areas with > 10000 metres squared was choosen.
