Study Area

A map with four factors

Roads (Accessibility Factor)

The roads are divided into service roads, tracks, and other type of roads. There are 2 tracks and 199 service roads in the data-set. From the map, we can see that the 2 tracks are located around the southern region of Gombak. Majority of the service roads are spread around the north-east region and minority of it are spread around west region. Therefore, eastern region of Gombak is the most accessible as it is closest to existing local roads.

Buildings (Health Risk Factor)

There are a lot of missing data in the "type" column of the data-set. Hence it is not meaningful to classify the buildings based on the building type. Most of the buildings are located around the boundary and very few of them located in the central. By looking at the map, it seems the southern region is more suitable to build the quarantine center as it is away from population.
