Part 1: Thematic Mapping

Map 1:

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

The map shows the different type of schools in Singapore, namely – Centralized Institute, Junior College, Mixed Level, Secondary and Primary, where these schools are plotted on top of the masterplan landuse 2014 layer. There are in total of 344 schools. Each different school type is assigned a unique symbol and color to differentiate them. Also, the color of the map (masterplan landuse 2014) was given a neutral color (grey) to make it easier to identify the different colors of the respective type of schools. The source of the layers – schools and masterplan landuse 2014, was taken from data.gov.sg.
