PART I: Thematic Mapping
Map 1: Distribution of Public Education Institutions in Singapore
Description
For this map, the data points were further classified and designed according to their type or main level, namely Centralised Institute, Mixed Level School, Junior College, Secondary School and Primary School, allowing the map viewer to differentiate the different public education institutions around Singapore.
The 2014 Planning Subzone Regions were also used to signify the regions of Singapore, allowing the viewer to further view these institutions in their appropriate regions. The OpenStreetMap layer was inserted to further pinpoint the location of the institutions in terms of different transport modes that can be taken to reach them, nearby amenities etc.
Map 2: Road Network System of Singapore
Description
The data points were further classified and designed according to their type and symbol description, namely Expressway, Expressway-Sliproad and Major Roads. Contour lines were removed due to its inapplicability and the international boundary was replaced using the OpenStreetMap layer that also represents this. The expressways were labelled accordingly to their name, allowing the map viewer to view these expressways at a glance.
With the function of Rule-based labelling, the major roads were also labelled accordingly with a minimum scale of 1:100000, allowing the viewer to zoom in and identify these roads which can be connected to the expressways via sliproads.
