Part 1 : Map View with Study Area and Target Roads, Buildings, Natural Features, Digital Elevations Layer

Buildings: To build a disease centre, it needs to be far away from the population to prevent spreading of diseases to the nearby population. The data was extracted from BBBike@Singapore.

Target Roads: To build a disease centre, it needs to be close to existing local roads, namely: service roads and tracks to ensure easy transportation of building materials during the construction stage. The data was extracted from BBBike@Singapore.

Natural Conservation: The selected site needs to be away from forested land, park and water as when the disease enter the water bodies of Singapore. The data was extracted from BBBike@Singapore.

Elevation: The selected site needs to avoid slope as this will incur large construction cost as steep slopes involves a lot of cut-and-fills and leads to relatively higher development costs. The data was extracted from NASA's EarthData Search Site and was prepared by importing the raster data into QGIS.
