Part One: Thematic Mapping

Distribution of Public Education Institutions by School Types

Hierarchy of Road Network System

Road Network Hierarchy

I created a new field “RD_CLASS” & followed URA’s guidelines on road nomenclature to filter the data into the various road network hierarchies.

  • Expressways – If they have ‘Expressway’ in their name
  • Major roads – Cat 1 & 2 roads
  • Minor roads – Cat 3-5 roads

Thereafter, I used different coloured lines to represent roads of each category. I changed the width of the roads according to the hierarchy, the expressways being the thickest & minor roads being the thinnest.

2014 Master Plan Landuse

2014 Master Plan

I largely followed URA’s Use Groups to zone the different sections of the map. I decided to partially detract from some of the groupings as I felt that the land uses were too distinct to put together.

  • Eg. Kept ‘Reserve Site’ out of Use Group F (Open space, nature reserve) and gave it a category of its own

After which, I used categorised symbology to indicate different colours based on the land use.
