Take Home Exercise 1: Mapping the Urban World
Part 1: Thematic Mapping
Distribution of Public Education Institutions in Singapore
This map depicts the distribution of public education institutions in Singapore. Different SVG markers are used to classify the different school types. I have segregated the maps into regions in Singapore, allowing us to have an overall picture of where the types of schools are in a quick glance. The number of Primary and Secondary Schools are evenly spread out in the five regions. There is only 1 central institute in Singapore as compared to the number of Junior Colleges. This could be due to the low demand as there is longer course of study in Central Institute.
Road Network Systems in Singapore
By making use of the LTA GIS Road Section Line data, the road network system of Singapore is classified in the hierarchy of: 1. Expressway 2. Major Road 3. Minor Road 4. Local Access Road To further visualise the road network system clearly on the map, I increased the thickness of the road lines in terms of hierarchy basis. I have also segregated the areas in Singapore into regions. From here, this highlights the boundary and we can spot how closely connected Singapore is where the expressway is linked across the five regions.
2014 Master Plan Land Use in Singapore
In displaying the types of land use in Singapore, a new field called LU_CLASS is created to classify the different land use types into 14 broad categories. Such simple view enables us to recognise that a lot of land has been used as reserved site in Singapore for future land development purpose. Residential area is another land type that takes up most part of Singapore given that it is a highly densely populated country. The terminal land use is expected to expand with the opening of Terminal 5 in the future.

Proportion of Aged population in 2010
Proportion of Aged population in 2018
Percentage change of Aged Population between 2010 and 2018
