General - Describe the overall trend

Is the feature regularly distributed across the area?

Is the feature clustered in specific areas or dispersed throughout?

Specific - State examples to illustrate the trend using named locations or features

Exception - State outliers that deviate from the trend

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, there are more reservoirs located near the coastline rather than inland. For example, the Poyan and Tengah reservoir is located at the coastline. However, an exception can be seen where the upper pierce reservoir is located inland. Hence, there are more reservoirs near the coastline than inland

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, the reservoirs are near Singapore’s coastline, with many in the west of Singapore, most of the reservoirs are dispersed all around the island

For example, Poyan Reservoir and Tengeh Reservoir are all towards the west of Singapore and are near Singapore’s coastline.

However, there are some exceptions like Bedok reservoir, which is towards the east of Singapore and is not near the coastline at all.

# data[].attributes.body
The reservoirs in Singapore are spread all throughout, often located near large bodies of water. However, most reservoirs are near the West Coast, like the Tengah reservoir.

There are very few reservoirs at east side, like Bedok Reservoir.

1. Generally, the reservoirs in Singapore are situated unevenly throughout Singapore. Specifically, a number of reservoirs like the Kranji Reservoir and Murai reservoir are situated at the Northwest area of Singapore near the coast whereas the Southeast are of Singapore has less than 3 reservoir locations. Additionally, the central area of Singapore, inland, is also somewhat clustered having 4 reservoirs close to each other. Hence, the distribution of reservoirs in Singapore is no evenly distributed but often cloistered at certain areas throughout Singapore.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, the spatial distribution of reservoirs in Singapore are clustered near the western coastal region. There are 5 main reservoirs in this region, where 2 of them are not connected to the ocean, Sarimbun and Murai reservoirs. However, the other 3 reservoirs, the Kranji, Tengeh and Poyan reservoirs are connected to the ocean.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, reservoirs are located in the western region of Singapore, near the coasts

For example, the Poyan Reservoir, located in the Western Water Catchment, is located near the coastline and within the Western region of Singapore

However, the reservoirs in the Central Water Catchment (Upper Seletar Reservoir, Upper Pierce Reservoir, Lower Pierce Reservoir and MacRitchie Reservoir) are located inland and within the Central Region of Singapore.

Generally, the spatial distribution of Reservoirs in Singapore is irregular.

Most of the Reservoirs, such as Poyan and Kranji Reservoir, in Singapore is found on the central and west side of Singapore.

However, there is a reservoir called Pulau Tekong found on another island off the mainland Singapore.

1. No, the reservoirs are not evenly distributed across Singapore. Most of the reservoirs like Kranji and poyan reservoirs are located near the coast. Reservoirs like upper peirce reservoir are not located near the coast but in the central part of Singapore

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, the reservoirs are distributed regularly across the north of Singapore. The distance between the reservoirs is even and mostly equal. Specifically, most of the reservoirs are located along the north of Singapore like the Upper Seletar reservoir and Kranji reservoirs. However, there are a few reservoirs located at the south of Singapore like the Marina reservoir and the Pandan reservoir.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, the reservoirs are regularly distributed across the north of Singapore. For example, the Kranji reservoir and upper Seletar reservoir. However, there are also reservoirs located in the south of Singapore such as the Pandan Reservoir.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally most of the reservoirs are regularly situated near the coastlines of Singapore. Specifically near the coastlines for example poyan reservoir which is at the far west of Singapore on the coastlines. However there are some reservoirs far from the coastline towards the Center of Singapore for example upper pierce reservoir. Hence there are more reservoirs near the coastline.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally reservoirs are located near the coast of Singapore at irregular intervals. For example , all the reservoirs near the northwest side of Singapore are connected to the coast. However , only 5 reservoirs are located in land. The reason why the rest fo the reservoirs are near the coast is because the water displaced from the reservoirs can be easily replaced by the filtered seawater. There is no regular intervals between the reservoirs

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, the spatial pattern of reservoirs in Singapore are dispersed throughout and not regularly distributed throughout Singapore. Specifically, there is a larger number of reservoirs located in the Western region of Singapore and the coastline such as Tengah Reservoir and Poyan Reservoir respectively.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, the spatial distribution of reservoirs in Singapore is regularly distributed throughout the whole country. For example, Kranji Reservoir is situated in the North and Tengah Reservoir is situated in the West. However, there are slightly more reservoirs in the west than the east.

Generally schools are distributed unevenly in Bukit batok. For example, Yusof Ishak sec is very far away from other schools. However, some primary and secondary schools are clustered together, for example, Swiss cottage sec and st Anthony pri are clustered together, Bukit batok sec and princess elizabeth primary school are clustered together. As such we can conclude that secondary schools and primary schools are mostly clustered together.

Generally, the schools are close to HDB buildings. This is because the government may have planned that students go to school on their own after a certain age whilst keeping travel times short. For example, hill grove secondary school is located very close to hdb buildings, as such hill grove secondary school students are able to reach school fast.

Generally, primary and secondary schools in Bukit Batok town are distributed irregularly

They are situated near areas with higher densities of residence and HDBs. Da Zhong Primary and Dunearn Secondary School are located in Hong Kah North which has a high density of residence.

Distributed closer to HDBs to facilitate easier transport for the students, to and from school.

1. Generally, supermarkets are situated more towards the Northwest zone Bukit Batok Town but are often clustered near HDB buildings. Specifically, Hong Kah North which has 4 supermarkets such as Cold Storage and NTUC FairPrice with three of which clustered near the Southeat area of Hong Kah North and the other standalone at the Northwest zone. However, at the Southeast region of Bukit Batok Town, Bukit Batok South has no supermarkets.

2. Supermarkets are generally situated near HDB buildings in clusters. For example, in the Southeast zone of Hong Kah North, Prime Supermarket Limited, MCP Fairmart and Cold Storage are clustered together near Blk 373.

3. This could be due to residents who live in the HDB buildings require a convenient and accessible option of a supermarket in their area to be able to acquire their daily necessities such as groceries at supermarkets near where they live.

Generally, parks are evenly distributed within Bukit Batok Town and are located near HDB buildings.

For example , the Beauty Garden , located within Hong Kah North , is centrally located within Hong Kah North, near most of the HDB buildings in the neighbourhood. Additionally, the neighbourhood park within Bukit Batok Central is located near most of the HDB buildings within the neighbourhood. However, Bukit Batok Hillside Park within Brickworks is located far from HDB buildings in the neighbourhood but still near to a few HDB building in Hong Kah North.

Parks could be located near HDB buildings to increase accessibility to them for residents

1. The schools in Bukit Batok are evenly distributed compared to the ratio of HDB buildings.

2. In Bukit Batok South, there are less HDBs, so there is only one school located there, Yusof Ishak Secondary school. In Hong Kah North, there are more HDBs, so more schools are located there, for example, Swiss cottage secondary school and Saint Anthony primary school. They are located near the HDB buildings. For example, Keming Primary School is located right beside Blk 293

3. The reason for this is so that people do not have to travel for long periods of time to reach school and spend money on public transportation.

Generally, the bigger parks in Bukit Batok are mostly located in the east of Bukit Batok such as the Bukit Batok Town Park and the Bukit Batok Nature Park while the smaller parks are located more towards the west of Bukit Batok which are neighbourhood parks. The smaller neighbourhood parks are located near to HDB flats however the bigger parks are quite far away. This is due to the limited space near the HDB flats which only allows little space for parks.

# data[].attributes.body
Schools are generally located near HDB buildings. Most secondary and primary schools like Bukit Batok secondary school and princess elizabeth primary school are near hdb buldings. This allows people who stay in hdb to have easy access to education. However, Schools like Fuhua primary and Yusof Ishak secondary school are located further away from hdb flats.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally , supermarkets are not evenly distributed throughout Bukit Batok town and are located within hdb blocks. For example, Sheng shiong supermarket and NTUC FairPrice are both located within HDBs in Bukit Batok west. However , only three super markets are located outside of HDBs in Bukit Batok town. The reason why supermarkets are located so close to HDBs is to make it more convenient for residents to easily access locations to purchase daily necessities.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, schools are regularly distributed and are dispersed around the town. They are situated very near HDBs.

For example, princess elizabeth primary school, and Swiss cottage secondary school

However, there is an exception of Yusof Ishak secondary school.

This is likely because residents in the HDB can conveniently go to school as it is more nearby their residency, increasing accessibility of schools for residents

1)Parks are not evenly distributed in Bukit Batok town. The parks are found near the central and east of Bukit Batok town while the south and west do not have any parks.

2)The parks are within walking distance from the HDB building. There are even neighbourhood parks such as Bukit Gombak park and Bukit Batok Neighbourhood park.

3)The parks are found near the HDB buildings to encourage more people to go to the parks as it is near-by. Spaces with no HDB buildings also have no parks.
