Site location : Jalan Kemuning Permai, Kuala Selangor

So our group decided to make this empty land as a recreational.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to produce or provide an activity area and beneficial areas for the residents living close by. We are planning to provide them with recreational areas. Recreational areas are used to fill in time and to carry out activities such as sport and exercising. Examples of recreational constructions are such as parks , courts and playground.

PROJECT BENEFITS

The thought of building something for peoples use, and maybe memories will be made at these places is a really nice feeling as it helps people to be happy and satisfied. This will benefit the users as recreational areas are usually used as stress relievers or exercise purposes. This will enable users to have fun and spend time with other residences too . This will make the residences relationship more stronger. It will also fill their time by doing something beneficial such as playing sports and socializing . As for commercial area, it will benefit them as it will enable them to buy things and use the services provided without any hassle. This will also save their money for petrol as they don’t need to travel far away just to get some items for home.

SITE & LOCATION PLAN

INTRODUCTION TO SITE

The plot of land we chose is an empty land located at Jalam Kemuning Permai,Kuala Selangor. We have decided to develop commercial or recreational areas for the benefits of users which are the residents living nearby. It is a really strategical location as it is located close to commercial areas and is near to the river , the Klang River. It is a really peaceful and nice place. There are many reasons why we chose this land. It is close to residents which are the main users of this future development, this location does not have a recreational area, it is around commercial areas so people working and visiting those


4


areas could also come and use the recreational area. This location has a huge potential to be very useful and prime for residents and visitors around this area.

IMAGES & PHOTOGRAPH

SITE ANALYSIS

AMBIENCE This is a soft traffic noise area and it can be heard all day long as it is located beside a highway at the west side. The place is cool through out the day and might be because of the river located at the east side of the site.

WEATHERThe sun rises from the east and sets in the est , therefore people can enjoy and watch the


5


sunset from our development. Wind blows from west to easr and this makes the land cool during day and night.

PROS AND CONSThis area is filled with housing areas and there are not much sports area to benefit the people living there. This is why we chose to build commercial and recreational areas for this site. Residents can just walk or use bicycles to access this place. Since its located beside a road it may or may not cause traffic jams around this area if the population increases.

SITE CONTEXT

As you can see from the pictures above, many commercial, religious and residences area are located around the site we chose. This is the main reason we chose this site as it will be used by people living and vistiting this area.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SITE

This site is easy to access from various directions. It can be accesed by using the Kota Kemuning Highway exit of the Kesas Expressway. It is at the dead end on Jalan Kemuning so it is very easy to spot. This site has not much pollution as it is located around residences and commercial areas, not factories or ports. There are also beneficial facilities around such as religious areas and commercial areas. This will enable visitors at the commercial area to use our development in the future. This is also beneficial for visitors and residences as many shops and restaurants can be found for buying items or

food.


6


Educational areas are also present around this site which is SMK Kota Kemuning. This recreational area we are planning to build will enable these kids to use it. A shopping complex is also located nearby this site which is Gamuda Walk. This will enable people to have fun, watch movies and other activities.

DISADVANTAGES OF SITE

This site has no office building around them so people working and living in this area will have to drive out of the area just to get to work. Besides, this site also lacks of proper waste management as it does not have garbage trash around at all. The air in this place is also quite smelly as the smell released form the river nearby and also for the cars passing by. There are also very little trees around this area and may be one of the causes of why the air is not so clean.

PROPOSAL A (SULAIMAN BIN

IDRIS)

Project concept

The plan of proposal we are going to build on this site is based on a recreational park. There are many reasons on why we chose to build a recreational park instead of other developments. Firstly, this area which is Kota Kemuning includes a huge major housing area. This area is located in shah alam. We are planning to build this to provide relaxation and fun for residents. Since there are not much recreational areas around this area, this will increase the comfortness and happiness for the residents around this area. The second reason is, this recreational park will also keep the quality of the air clean as we are building it based on the concept of nature. This will make Kota Kemuning a peaceful and pollution free area, It will also be the perfect place to stay.

My proposal is Kemuning Recreational Park, which is a multi purpose recreational park that is based on the concept of eco-green. This recreational area will make it possible for people especially resident in kota kemuning to exercise and have fun with all the sports facilities that we will be providing them..

About this site

This site is around 3500 sq. meter. The site is located beside a residential area which is located in Kota Kemuning. Kesas Highway which is the main expressway is located not far from this site. The air in this place is not so polluted as nothing much is happening there. The site includes dry dirt, big and small trees and also a river flowing beside it.


9


Swimming Pool

Swimming pool is one of the main attraction to residents of Kota Kemuning Recreational Park as this area has a quite hot weather caused by the lack of trees around this area. Another reason is also because there is no public swimming pool areas around this area. This swimming pool will be divided into 3 parts with different heights according to the ability of the person to swim. These parts will be divided to toddlers, teenagers and adults.

The swimming pool will have water slides, Jacuzzis and also water fountains to increase the comfort and need of the people that are going to be swimming here. Floats and equipments such as goggles will be provided to rent here too for the people who are in need of them.

Events will also be able to be organized here as it is a public pool for everyone to use. The events will include water polo, swimming competitions and many more. Lifeguards and security guard will also be provided for the safety of the people swimming.


10


Gymnasium

The gym will also be one of the main feautures that wil be build at Kota Kemuning Recreation Park. Built between as in beside the pool and the car park. This will enable people to enter the gym and jump into the pool after a workout. This gym will be 2 floors including glass walls for sight views while working out. Air conditioners will be provided as well as free drinks to maintain the happiness of the community using this gym. Gym trainers also will be there to train those that are new to working out.

Sauna

Sauna will be built for people to experience the sweating therapy. This therapy takes out


11


all bad toxics from the body. This sauna will also be used to warm the bodies of people right after a cold swim. Built in 4 separate huts, 2 for men and 2 for women. There will be heated rocks inside to provide the hotness of the sauna. The temperature of the sauna can be adjusted from the inside. Had durable wood will also be used to maintain the sauna. This is also to make sure the sauna doesn’t deintegrate easily by the heat. The flooring also will be built with vent holes to absorb water content and keep the sauna warm and dry.

Poolside Café

The poolside café that will be build indoor and outdoor will be set for people swimming and people that just had a workout. The café will be built in an open area so that people will be able to enjoy the breeze and the view. This will enable pople to get a feel of the outside environment while having their drink or food. The indoor café will be used by people that just finished jogging or working out or playing sports. Whereas the outdoor café will be used by swimmers that are taking a break. A stage will also be set out for events purposes.

Public events space

The open space of Kota Kemuning Recreational Park is one of the largest areas available. Fountains , benches and trees will be placed at this area for the relaxation and


12


comfortness of the people visiting this area. This area will also attract people to hold events such as booths, performances nd many more. There will also be lighting poles to enable people to see while at night. There will also be a plot of land just for the carnivals or anything happening in this area.

Grasslands

Grasslands are empty lands, these lands will be used for picnics, football and for events such as sports competitions. We will be planting trees around this area to enable a eco-friendly feel to people using this field.

Landscape design


13


Kota Kemuning Recreational Park will be built based on a eco-friendly natural landscape. The original site is bare soil, as for this we will be replanting and carrying out development that are required. The materials that we are using is mainly natural elements as this is to enable a natural feel towards visitors. The theme is a multi purpose natural environment park for the use of the public. Through all this process, a relaxing and peaceful park will be built.

Importance of Kota Kemuning Recreational Park to the community

Kota Kemuning Recreational Park is important because it is probably one of the only places that will enable residents here to exercise and spend their free time nicely. It provides many useful facilities and also a great eco-friendly environment to the residents to experience. It also attracts people to live in Kota Kemuning for its amazing


14


recreational park and facilities. This will also make the relationship of people staying here stronger, as they will be able to bond at this park.

Softscape

Softscape elements are widely used in Kota Kemuning Recreational Park. This is important as it creates a natural environment feel towards the people around here. The park will be covered with trees, shrubs, plants and many more to provide the green towards this area. Flowering plants will also be planted along walkways to create a nice looking landscape for the residents to enjoy and take photos of.

Hardscape

Hardscape elements are provided to make the park work smoothly. People come to the park to use the facilities that are provided when they need to. Hardscape features are mainly benches, fountains, gazebos and many more. Some hardscape features become an


15


important attraction or enchancement of an area. This will attract more people to visit this park for its nice decorations and facilities.

1. P ROPOSAL

This development plan is to proposes development and construction of Sport Centre with urban design named Fantastic 5S.The building height for this sport centre is to be generally in accordance with the concept shown in the Framework Plan and in the Building Sections Plan. There will be a roads connecting the main road outside of the sports area. So the resident or guests to access the sport area more easy.

I vision that, this area will be filled with people from all aged. So, Fantastic 5S will be a double story sport centre. Fantastic 5S will be a half public half private area. Residents can enjoy all the facilities without paying too much.

The leisure facilities in Fantastic 5S included:

1 unit studio

1 unit archery

1 unit car park

1 unit gym room

1 unit cafe canteen

4 unit locker rooms

1 unit bowling room

1 unit karaoke room

1 unit television room

2 unit swimming pools

1 unit children playground

1 unit administration office

4 unit washrooms/ shower rooms

2. BENEFITS

2.1 Economic Development

Sport centre provide intrinsic environmental,aesthetic, and recreation benefits to our cities.They are also a source of positive economic benefits. They enhance property values, increase municipal revenue, bring in homebuyers and workers, and attract retirees. At the bottom


19


line, sport centre is a good financial investment for a community. Understanding the economic impacts of sport centre can help decision makers better evaluate the creation and maintenance of urban sport centre.

2.2 Improve Public Health

People value the time they spend in sport centre. Along with these expected leisure amenities, sport centre can also provide measurable health benefits A telephone survey conducted for the American Public Health Association found that 75 percent of adults believe sport centre must play an important role in addressing America's obesity crisis. Because of the different ways people experience sport centre, cities need to provide all types, from neighborhood facilities to large natural areas.

2.3 Promote Tourism

Sport centre are often the “engine” that drives tourism in many communities. Most of the time, the desire to go to a destination on a pleasure trip is stimulated by its attractions. Many of these attractions are located near sport centre, while sport centre are themselves attractions. This leads to the conclusion that in many communities, parks drive the tourism industry.

3. IMPACTS

3.1 Carbon Footprint

Having a concrete built building will results in an increase in the carbon footprint produced in the area.

3.2 Residents

Having more people to come over the sports area to exercise, this will promote a sudden increase of people living in the are.

3.3 Traffic

With a very busy highway near the proposed area, the extra cars


20


coming to the sports area will results in increase traffic in the area, and maybe resulting traffic jam.

3.4 View

The sport area with 2 stories high, so the building might block the resident view nearby.

9. PROFESIONAL INVOLVED

9.1 QUANTITY SURVEYOR

A quantity surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects, from the initial calculations to the final figures.

Surveyors seek to minimize the costs of a project and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required standards and quality. Many of these are specified by statutory building regulations, which the surveyor needs to understand and adhere to.

A quantity surveyor may work for either the client or the contractor, working in an office or on site. They are involved in a project from the start, preparing estimates and costs of the work.

When the project is in progress, quantity surveyors keep track of any variations to the contract that may affect costs and create reports to show profitability.

The title of the job may also be referred to as a construction cost consultant or commercial manager.

Typical work activities

Responsibilities vary depending on the nature and stage of the project being worked on, but can include:

preparing tender and contract documents, including bills of quantities with the architect and/or the client;

undertaking cost analysis for repair and maintenance project work;

assisting in establishing a client's requirements and undertaking feasibility studies;

performing risk, value management and cost control;

assisting clients in locating and accessing additional and alternative sources of funds;

enabling clients to initiate construction projects;

advising on the maintenance costs of specific buildings.

9.2 ARCHITECT

Architects work in the construction industry and are involved with designing new buildings, extensions or alterations to existing buildings, or advising on the restoration and conservation of old properties.

They can work on individual buildings or on large redevelopment schemes, and can be responsible for the design of the surrounding landscape and spaces.

Architects work closely with their clients and users to make sure that projected designs match their needs and are functional, safe and economical. They usually control a project from start to finish and work with a number of construction professionals, including surveyors and engineers, producing drawings and specifications that the construction team works to.

The role of an architect is very varied and can range from freelance and small-scale project work to employment with multinational organisations working on iconic landmarks.


Architects are involved from the earliest stages of a building project, which can start with developing ideas with the client, establishing budgets, assessing the needs of the building and its users, and its impact within the local environment.

They assist with site selection and work closely with contractors on site, ensuring that works are carried out to specific standards and that, above all, the building is sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing. They also need to have an awareness of commercial and financial considerations.

Responsibilities vary but typically include:

discussing the objectives, requirements and budget of a project

consulting with other professionals about design

9.6 Electronics engineers

Electronics is the technology associated with electronic circuits and systems, and is one of the major branches of electrical engineering.

Electronics engineers use scientific knowledge of the behaviour and effects of electrons to design, develop and test components, devices, systems or equipment that use electricity as part of their source of power. These components include capacitors, diodes, resistors and transistors.

Electronics engineers usually work in cross-functional project teams with colleagues in other branches of engineering.

Work can be found in a variety of areas as electronics are used in many things including:

acoustics

Defence

medical instruments

mobile phones

nanotechnology

radio and satellite communication

robotics

Sub fields of electronic engineering include:

control engineering

instrumentation

signal processing

telecommunications engineering.


9.7 Electronic engineers

Electronics engineers work on a project through all its stages; from the initial brief for a concept, through the design and development stage, to the testing of one or more prototypes, and through to the final manufacture and implementation of a new product or system.

Exact duties vary, depending on the industry, but tasks may include:

discussing proposals with clients;

working with colleagues to design new systems, circuits and devices or develop existing technology;

testing theoretical designs;

writing specifications and technical reports;

following defined development processes;

systematically improving the detailed design of a piece of electronic equipment;

ensuring that a product will work with devices developed by others, can be made again reliably, and will perform consistently in specified operating environments;

creating user-friendly interfaces;

ensuring safety regulations are met;

project planning and preparing budgets;

attending meetings with subcontractors;

supervising technicians, craftspeople and other colleagues;

keeping up to date with developments in technologies and regulations.

9.8 Contractor

All those who work in the construction industry have their part to play looking after their own health and safety and in improving the industry's health and safety record.

On all projects contractors will need to:

plan, manage and monitor their own work and that of their workers

check the competence of all their appointees and workers

train their own employees

provide information to their workers

ensure that there are adequate welfare facilities for their workers

In addition, where projects are notifiable under the Regulations, contractors must also:

check that the client is aware of their duties, check that a CDM coordinator has been appointed and ensure that HSE has been notified before the work starts

co-operate with the principal contractor in planning and managing work, including reasonable directions and site rules

provide details to the principal contractor of any contractor engaged in connection with carrying out work

provide any information needed for the health and safety file

inform the principal contractor of any problems with the plan

inform the principal contractor of reportable accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences

10. CONCLUSION

At the end of this project I have concluded that it is very important to coordinate and develop an understanding of coherent working relations among various industry players and how to effectively communicate with the other fields about what I wanted. I also learnt how to document our observations and understanding mainly from the research T did as well as to communicate our findings and place them in a report in a systematic and convincing manner. I also able to justify the feasibility of a development and improve the proposal to serve the purpose of its development.
