Features
The dashboard visualisation below allows users to understand the flow of patrons to each of the libraries using the FY2013 datasets. The following section will explain the different features in the dashboard.
- Location of Library
The map visualises the location of the selected library.
- Geographical Distribution of Patrons
The map visualises the flow of patrons (by Planning Area) to the selected library.
- Distribution of Patrons
The bar chart is sorted in descending order to identify the top Planning Areas with higher number of patrons for the selected library.
- Distribution of Patrons by Clusters
The distribution of patrons by clusters (from RFM Analysis below) for selected library is as shown.
- Number of Nearby Amenities From Library
The number of nearby amenities (MRT stations, Malls and Tuition Centres) within 1 km from the selected library.
- Number of Patrons in Library
The number of unique patrons visiting the selected library.
Findings
- Community Library vs Regional Library
Through the initial visualisations, the team has discovered some patterns in the Patron Dataset provided. The team has observed different patterns of distribution of patrons for community libraries and regional libraries, where majority of the patrons from the community libraries tend to come from only the Planning Area closest to the library, whereas majority of the patrons from the regional libraries are dispersed across more Planning Areas nearer to the library.
For example, comparing the patron distribution for Jurong West Library (community library) and Jurong Regional Library (regional library), 65.91% of the patrons at Jurong West Library are from Jurong West, where the Planning Area is closest to the library.
On the other hand, majority of the patrons to Jurong Regional Library are dispersed across more Planning Areas (Figure 3.2) such as Jurong West, Jurong East and Bukit Batok which are located nearer to the library.
Regional library tends to have a larger collection of materials and a greater floor space as compared to the community library, which may help explaining why there are more patrons coming from different areas of Singapore. However, both community and regional library are usually more localised, thus drawing patrons who are living nearby.
- Libraries located in the Central Region
Unlike the trend observed in the previous section where patrons tend to live near to the libraries, the team has discovered that libraries such as Central Public Library, library@chinatown, and library@esplanade that are located in the central region (Figure 3.3) tended to draw in patrons from many different areas across Singapore.
The trend is apparent in all 3 libraries where the distributions of patrons are quite even distributed across Singapore and this could be due to the accessibility to the libraries and the amenities around the libraries.
All 3 libraries have a considerably high number of amenities as compared to the other libraries as shown below:
