Project 5 : SENSE OF PLACE : NEIGHBOURHOOD & COMMUNITY



Setia Greens, Sg. Ara, Penang


Project 5a - Neighbourhood Elements : Existing Condition

for this project we're required to draw the Key Plan, the Location Plan and also the Layout Plan.




neighbourhood elements that observed in the Layout Plan such as:
  • Movement Network
  • Lot Layout
  • Public Open Space
  • Public Facilities and Amenities
  • Landscape and Street Furniture
on the same layout plan we also must show the basic physical  and environmental aspects like sun path, prevailing wind direction, vistas and vegetation.



Project 5b - Neighbourhood Elements : Proposed Improvement

for project 5b, we should propose some suggestions to improve the physical and non-physical conditions of the neighbourhood area.



suggestions that i make for Setia Green, Sg Ara is :
  1. to put fencing in the playground for the safety.
  2. put convex mirror at sharp bend. 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear', to warn the driver of the convex mirror's distorting effects on distance perception. Convex mirrors are preferred in vehicles because they give an upright, though diminished, image. Also they provide a wider field of view as they are curved outwards.
  3. plant more trees to  reduce noise pollution
  4. planning and access for disabled people
  5. put recycle bins
