Part 1: Base Map Views

4 basic map views showing: 1) Gombak Road 2) Gombak Building 3) Gombak Natural Features 4) Digital Elevation together with targeted study area - Bukit Gombak:

Map Type Map View Layout
1.Gombak Road - shows the study area and the target roads,

New Layer created: Schools created from csv file using Geocoding tool MMQGIS plugin. 'Address' attribute is used for openstreet map projection

Distribution of school types: Under Symbology, select categoriszation by `mainlevel_` attribute.Different colors are used to indication different school types for easy illustrative reference purpose

School types


Data not found CSV from geocoding:
- RAFFLES INSTITUTION
- BOWEN SECONDARY SCHOOL

2.Gombak Building - the study area and buildings

Layer Imported: Land Use, Road Selection Line, National Map Line

Different color lines and width are used to represent different types of road with cateogirized technique performed on the map line layer use.Road_Type was created as the new column to assign category to each road based on its type.

Part 2: Proximity and Slope Map Views

Four views showing the proximity map to 1)target roads layer, 2) buildings layer,3) target natural features layer and 4) slope layer that are created in Part 1.

Map Type Map View Layout
“Singapore Residents by Planning Area/Subzone, Age Group and Sex, June 2000 - 2018” from Department of Statistics Singapore.

Layer: res Processing:

1.Singapore's Aged Population (65+) in 2010

created new filtered layer with age 65+ and year = 2010. New column is created and caculated as the sum of the 65+ population for 2010. Join technique is used in the MP14 layer to join the Area Name.

2.Singapore's Aged Population (65+) in 2018

created new filtered layer with age 65+ and year = 2018. New column is created and caculated as the sum of the 65+ population for 2018. Join technique is used in the new MP14 layer to join the Area Name.

3.Proportion of Singapore's Aged Population in 2010

We are looking at the ratio of population that is above 65 and the total residence number The observation is that the 1)downtown area has a higher proportion of aged population. 2)North region also has high proportion of senior polulaiton.

4.Proportion of Singapore's Aged Population in 2018

When we look at 2010 and 2018 map in terms of the aged population ratio that has been explained earlier. we can see that the 2018 statistics is more well spread as seen by the dark color block compared to that of 2010. This might be an indication of the aging population.

Percentage Change of Aged Population From 2010 to 2018


The prominent difference is the increase in the ratio of aged population in the North region especially with the color block indication.
