SAMPLE MAP 1

The given maps illustrates the changes made to an island, which was developed for tourism.

Overall, the initial isolated and pristine island has been completely changed with the introdcution of
accommodation and other services for tourists, leaving the eastern part the only untounched area. In
addition, the island has a length of approximately 200 meters.

Accommodation was added to the island, with six huts in the west and nine in the central area. Between
the two living areas, a restaurant and a reception was constructed, and both of which are linked to a pier
by vehicle tracks. In addition, there are footpaths that link houses together and to the beach.

Areas near the ocean are also developed. A pier is added in the south of the island, allowing some yatches
to access the island. Furthermore, even though there is no construction on the beach, it is now available
for swimming.
SAMPLE MAP 2

The plans reveal the development of the road system that led to a city's hospital in two years: 2007, 2010.

It is apparent that a great number of changes took place during the period, including the introduction of
two roundabouts, a new bus station, and a car park.

In 2007, there was only one car park that was opened for all people, but this place was changed in 2010
when another public parking space - having an exit leading to Ring Road, was built to the east of the main
building. In addition, the previous infrastructure remained unchanged and the accessibility was limited to
only employees.

Significant expansions were made in the two ends of Hospital Road where two roundabouts were added
to each conjunction. A new bus station, which was constructed opposite the staff car park, replaced all
previously placed bus stops. In addition, there were also paths connecting the bus station to the two
roundabouts.
SAMPLE MAP 3

The given maps illustrate the surroundings of Grange park in 1920 and at present.

Overall, Grange Park has changed completely with the removal of most facilities and the introduction of
an amphitheatre, rose garden, and water feature.

The first changes can be seen in all four edges of the plan. All the seats on the far left sides and a rose
garden in the southwest of the park have been deconstructed. To the right of Eldon street entrance, a
glasshouse has been replaced by a water fountain, beneath which an underground car park has been built.
To the north of the new parking space, a Cafe and children’s recreational site has been built in
replacement to a pond and another rose garden.

In the central area of the park, two significant changes have been made. A stage for bands has been
demolished and replaced with an enormous amphitheater for concerts. To the right of this newly
constructed amphitheater lies a square rose garden, surrounded by four sitting areas which are evenly
distributed on all sides.
