Issho-ni Proposal
Project Motivation
Yishun overall appears to be well-equipped with plenty of schools, accommodation, parks, transportations, sport facilities, entertainment and medical facilities. Yet, the place remains to be one of the most dangerous residential areas to live in and has the highest crime rate in Singapore. Although there has been a decreasing trend in the young (aged between 10 – 25) population in Yishun, the elderly (aged 65 & above) population has increased for about 52% from 2010 to 2015. Furthermore, despite the increasing number of elderly populations in Yishun, the number of elderly care centres in the region seems to be highly lacking.
The motivation of this project is to use Geospatial information and technology in urban planning to provide useful insights that will ensure the safety and well-being of the residents, especially the elderly groups, of Yishun.
