Part 1: Thematic Mapping

Public Schools

The map above shows the distribution of public education institutions, classified into distinct school levels—mixed level, junior colleges, centralised institutes, secondary and primary. Considering the overall presentation, the coastal map outline is given a light (green) colour for better visualisation. As there are many features (i.e. public schools) and classes (i.e. school levels), the visual variables gets cluttered when viewing the whole map. Hence, a different colour and SVG is used to represent each school type so as to help map readers distinguish among the clusters easily.

Road Network System

The map above depicts the hierarchy of Singapore's road network, classified into 4 different categories—expressway, major road, minor road and local access.
