Data Source

Data is sourced from the 2014 Master Plan Subzone Boundaries. The data has been converted from KML and saved in data/subzones.js as GeoJSON.

The subzone names in the original dataset contained contractions and were in UPPERCASE. We have converted the names to Title Case and saved the conversion as the niceName property.

subzones.getSubzoneAtPoint([103.777475, 1.295793]).properties.niceName // "National University Of Singapore
subzones.getSubzoneAtPoint([103.777475, 1.295793]).properties.name // "NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF S'PORE

List of conversions can be found at scripts/convertToGeojson.js

The original dataset is licenced under the Singapore Open Data Licence.
