Part 1: Thematic Mapping

a) Using school information from data.gov.sg, prepare a thematic map showing the distribution of public education institution by school types such as primary, secondary, etc.

I have chosen to symbolise the different education categories using point symbols from the SVG vector symbol set, as it is easy to recognise the type of school from these symbols. This is an appropriate classification method for displaying the data given that the data on school type is qualitative and can be grouped into 5 discrete classes.

b) Using road GIS data of LTA, prepare a thematic map showing the hierarchy of road network system of Singapore such as expressway, major road, minor road, etc.

Based on Guidelines on the Naming of Streets published by Urban Redevelopment Authority, I have split the road network system in Singapore into 4 classes.
