The maps illustrated the layout of Paraside Island in the past and present. From an overall perspective, the island has noticeably turned from a remote area to a vacation venue, which undergone deforestation and welcomed the urban development of amenities, restaurants and infrastructures throughout the timeframe.
In the previous years, Paradise Island represented natural elements and lacked a myriad of facilities. Firstly, by the west island coastline, the pier is a stop for boats to be parked. Meanwhile, the beach was not publicly assessable for swimming purposes. On the west island, a scientific research station was constructed by the pier, which was accompanied by trees to the building’s northeast. Thought the middle of the island was underdeveloped, the northeast existed a natural hot spring was surrounded by palm trees on its west side.
Nonetheless, in present days, the most evident transformation was the demolished plantations. To allow more travelers, the pier is expanded to fit the traveler numbers from cruise ship. More accommodation such as hotel complex is spotted in the west island. Meanwhile, the central island is no longer empty but facilitated an open restaurant with barbeque area surrounded. To promote a healthy lifestyle, the island includes a swimming pool above the hotel complex and a newly established cycling path around the coastline.
