Part 1: Thematic Map

Education: My cartographic technique makes sense as I did a qualitative thematic map using qualitative data, that is, school types. Since I wanted to categorise the map by school types, I removed the irrelevant information from the excel file such as the principal name. This will allow the geocoding process to run more smoothly. After adding the geocoded layer, I categorised by the different types of schools such as primary, secondary and more. I used point symbol and chose SVG marker to indicate the respective school types by using different symbols such as the whiteboard symbol for primary schools.

Road: My cartographic technique makes sense as I did a qualitative thematic map using qualitative data, that is, road types. As the dataset did not have a field containing the types of roads, I created a new field and separate the roads into their respective types. After which, I categorised by the different types of roads using the values in the new field with different coloured lines to indicate so.

Land Use: My cartographic technique makes sense as I did a qualitative thematic map using qualitative data which is amenities type. I categorised the different types of amenities using polygon feature with hue, which is a nominal scale visual variable. This means that different types of amenities are represented with different colours on the map, in order to differentiate them.
