Powerpoint -- Comparing Rail Transit in Seattle, WA and Singapore

By Crystal Tan. For one of the undergraduate geography courses I took in the department (GEOG 317), I created a final project analyzing rail transit in Seattle and compared it to rail transit in Singapore. In this final project, I created some static visualizations using R and interactive webmaps using ArcGIS Pro. These visualizations, along with the research, methodology, and analysis were then published in an ArcGIS StoryMap. To compare the two rail transit systems, I measured each rail system's centrality using network analysis and accessibility using area and buffer analysis. Using network analysis, I described the centrality of each rail system by counting nodes and edges along with looking at connectivity. Using buffer analysis, I recorded the area within 0.5 miles from each rail station and determined how accessible these stations were by looking at how many pharmacies are within the 0.5 mile buffers.
