Data preparation
In order to do a ranked analysis, the layer data have to be normalised as the data now vary in scale. To that, Min-Max normalisation was used.
For example, To normalise road proximity, we take the (current_data - min_of given layer)/(max_of given layer - min_of given layer):" "Prox_road@1" - 0 / (703.28" - 0)
Another thing to note, is that the results for roads and steepness needs to be inversed. As the closer the roads or less steep the land the better!
Thus, I took (1 - normalised data) to get the correct comparison.

| Factor | Priority | Reason | AHP Scoring
|
| Health Risk | 1 | CDQC's top priority is to keep the diseased away from the general population, this is prevent the virus from spreading and causing an epidemic. Thus, this factor is highest
priority |
9 |
| Accessibility | 2 | Transportation is the key issue in swiftly getting the patient away from the masses. Thus, accessibility is also given a very high priority. | 7 |
| Natural Conservation | 3 | Although important, Parks and water beds and forests is not as populated as the buildings. | 3 |
| Economic | 4 | Singapore has limited land space, and do not have a lot of non-steep land. Thus, I believe it is worth investing on a place which poses less health risk, has good transportation and further away from natural conservation. | 1 |
Using the AHP template given by prof Kam, I performed a PairWise Comparison matrix to calculate weightage comparison of each factor.
The results show the weightage of each Factor, with 4.7% assigned to Economic, 36.6% to Accessibility, 47.9% to Health Risk and 10.9% to Natural Conservation
Suitability Map
Data prepartion
Using the data from the AHPmatrix, I created a ranked model for the suitability of the land for CDQC.
To do so, I had to take the each factor multiplied by its percentage weightage.
After combining all the various factors. A small part of Gombak is found suitable for the land. (Rainbow coloured)
On further analysis, this area is found to be around 40,000m2
Although marked suitable, a key thing to note is that this area is not only high in terms of elevation between 70m
