From the summary above, we can generally observe that despite the reduction of planning area as mentioned above, there is a significant increase in land use for residential (increase by 81 attributes) and recreational (increase by 13 attributes) spaces that occurred from 2008 to 2014. A slight increase of about 2-5 attributes have been observed for the other facilities such as Educational Institutions and Water Bodies that are available in Yishun. Transport Facilities and Religious Spaces are exceptions being the only two facilities that had no changes in the number of attributes. There was only a decrease in land use for Civic and Community Institution where a reduction of 5 attributes for the facility was observed.

In 2008, a large area in the South of Yishun near the large area of Waterbody was proportioned for Recreational Spaces use. However, in 2014 the large area was changed to be used as a Reserve Site. Additionally, the land area further away from the banks of the Waterbody, above the area proportioned for Recreational Space, was largely proportioned for Residential use in 2008. However in 2014, new features like Educational Institutions, Recreational Space and Businesses were added to the area proportioned for Residential use.

2008 LandUse		2014 LandUse		Legend

In 2008, South-Western Yishun was mostly made up of large areas of Reserves Sites and Recreational Spaces that surrounded densely subdivided residential areas. In 2014, small areas of the Reserve Sites were subdivided and converted into areas used for Transport Facilities, Recreational Spaces, and Commercial & Residential use. A small area of Reserve Site was also converted for Utility use and a major road was constructed that connects the Utility to the waterbody that runs through South-Western Yishun.
