Preparation for Final Project

Ageing population trend

  • Declining old age support ratio due to declining birth rates and rising life expectancies.
  • More older adults and even younger generations choosing to live alone and independently.

Ageing-in-place

  • Provision of amenities to support ageing-in-place and provide social resources to older adults in Singapore.
  • Amenities such as eldercare services, community centres and community gardens could enable older adults to age well and healthily within their community.

Provision of amenities

  • Understand the availability of different amenities for seniors in Singapore and if there is a relationship between the demographics (specifically age) and provision.
  • Such datasets on amenities are often standalone and not mapped with population demographics.
  • Providing a visualization to get a broad understanding of the spread and location of amenities across subzones could be useful to understand potential gaps in terms of provision.

Datasets

  • Master Plan 2019 Subzone Boundary (GEOJSON file)
  • Eldercare Services (GEOJSON file)
  • Community centres (GEOJSON file)
  • CHAS clinics (GEOJSON file)
  • 2024 Resident population by subzone, sex and age group (CSV files)

Provision of amenities

  • Interactive element - toggle different amenities on and off
  • Choropleth Map - D3 or Leaflet
  • Population pyramid or pie chart – population structure by age group
