ABSTRACT
This study is conducted to study on the efficiency of parking lot management and
to assess the provision of additional parking lots based on Cost - Benefit Analysis at
Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital Kuantan (HTAA). The parking space that have been
provided by HTAA is only 964 parking spaces while HTAA has 2414 employees and
received approximately 2754 visitors per day and during weekend the number keep
increasing. This is 2.5 times overcapacity as compared to the demand by employees
alone. Method that been used is License Plate Survey and the survey was conducted on
one Wednesday and Sunday. The parking lots are divided into 6 zones and for every one
hour, plate numbers of every vehicle was recorded at every 1 hour interval.
Questionnaire had also been distributed to 30 respondents to know their opinion about
the facilities of provided parking at HTAA.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background Study
The parking problem at hospitals is not something new and has been highlighted
many times, yet the situation has not improved much. Vehicles are parked at available
vacant spaces within a hospital compound, and there are internal traffic jams at some
hospitals, while double parking and illegal parking are common.
This study will focus on parking problem at Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital
Kuantan. . Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan is general hospital for Kuantan citizen. This
1
hospital located at Jalan Tanah Puteh Kuantan Pahang Darul Makmur and the catchment
area is 40.1 acre. Tengku Ainpuafl Afzan Hospital has 2414 employees and received
approximately 2754 visitor per day and during weekend the number will increase. With
all the number of visitor and employee, the parking space at hospital is not enough for
every vehicle because the provided parking spaces are only 964 spaces for the whole
hospital. From the Star Online (February 2, 2007) there was an issue about parking
problem at there. Until now the problem still not solved and become worst.
1.2 Problem Statement
The lack of adequate parking lots in Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital is a long
standing issue. Finding the parking space is a test of patience for many motorists due to
lack of parking lots for the public. It has been a concern of local residents, hospital
workers, patients and neighbors businesses. There are only 964 parking lots provided
and most of the parking lots are occupied by the staff leaving only a few parking lots for
the patients and visitors, thus this situation warrant for a sustainable parking
management strategy based on CBA to be developed for the hospital. Visitors need to
drive around the hospital for several times before finding a parking space. It is not only
the visitors who have to struggle to find the parking but it also for the HTAA staff. This
is a big issue for the medical specialist because they need to park their vehicle faster to
attend emergency call. It also becomes serious issue for patient to park their vehicle
while they are warded. The problem becomes worst during weekend because the number
of visitors increase substantially. The parties involved in HTAA managing still cannot
solve the problem because there is no available space to use as parking lots.
1.3 Research Objectives
The objectives of this project are as following:
1.3.1 To conduct study on the efficiency of parking lot management at HTAA.
2
1.3.2 To assess the provision of additional parking lots at HTAA based on CBA.
1.4 Research Questions
There are two research questions in this study which are:
1.4.1 Is the parking lot management at HTTA is really not efficient?
1.4.2 How to setup the cost to be incurred against the benefits (particularly the
unquantifiable one) of the project?
1.5 Scope Of Work
This study is conducted at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan Kuantan (HTAA)
and will be limited around HTAA area. HTAA is a boundary area and all the data will
be obtain around this area.. For this study the scope of work is to observe parking
demand, parking flow behaviors and the environmental impact using CBA. Parking
demand need to be observed in order to make comparison for the requirement parking
space that would be need at study area. The environmental impact will be determined
using CBA to propose the new way to solve the parking problem.
1.6 Expected Outcome
The expected outcome is the demand of parking is higher and the parking lots
that have been provided is not enough for visitor and staff of HTAA. After finish this
study I will propose a proposal for sustainable parking management strategy for HTAA for consideration of the relevant authority such as M1K and management of HTAA.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
Parking is an important element in urban transportation and become a serious
problem in large cities around the world. This is due to increasing number of vehicles
and in next 20 years, this problem will be more serious because car ownership Will fl5C
quickly. This situation will lead to parking problem such as illegal parking and also
serious traffic congestion. Figure 2.1 shows the population in Malaysia in 2010.

2.2 parking
Vukan R. V. (1999) defined parking as the act of stopping a vehicle and leaving
it unoccupied for more than a brief time. Parking on one or both sides of a road is
commonly permitted; though often with restrictions. Only one vehicle can use a
particular parking space at particular time and it is against the law to park a vehicle in
the middle of highway or road where it will interrupt traffic congestion.
23 Parking Facilities
According to George A. Devlin (1983), the first parking facilities have been
developing in Rome since Julius Kaiser administration. He developed a rule that prohibit
the excessive number of vehicle from entering the city in peak hour in order to reduce
traffic congestion. Parking facilities are constructed in combination with most buildings,
to facilitate the coming and going of the buildings' users by Vukan R. V (1999). Parking
facilities are including parking lots, parking space, parking demand and parking supply.
2.3.1 Parking Lot
According to Edward (1992), parking lot can be define as cleared area that have
more parking spaces and this area are allocated for parking vehicles. Usually parking
lots are paved with asphalt, concrete, gravels at the surfaced with permanent paving
material. Parking lots can be small, with just parking spaces for a few vehicles, very
large with spaces for thousands of vehicles, or any size in between. Small parking lots
are usually near buildings for small businesses or a few apartments, although many other
locations are possible. Larger parking lots can be for larger businesses or those with
many customers, institutions such as schools, churches, offices, or hospitals, museums
or other tourist attractions, rest areas, strip malls, or larger apartment buildings.
6
Parking lots near businesses, buildings, or institutions are often implicitly
understood or explicitly labeled to be for the use of their respective customers or
visitors, often with special vehicle spaces for the owners and employees. Parking lots
around apartment buildings are often exclusively intended for parking use of their
residents, although sometimes separate spaces may be provided for visitors. Such
parking for businesses, offices, and residences is often free to the customers, patrons, or
residents.
Although many parking lots are rectangular - shaped, there are parking lots of all
sorts of shapes. A parking lot can be in front or back, on the side of the building it
services, or any combination of these, including all around the building, often depending
on local building codes. In a very large parking field, it is easy to get lost or have trouble
finding one's vehicle. Such large parking lots often have various sections marked, for
example by numbers or letters, to help identify the location.
Figure 2.2 Parking Lot

2.3.2 parking Space
parking space is a location that is designated for parking, either paved or
unpaved. According to C. S Papacostas (2005), parking space is location that is designed
for parking is safe and not obstructs other road user. Parking spaces can be in a parking
garage, in a parking lot or on a city street. It is usually designated by a white-paint-on-tar
rectangle indicated by three lines at the top, left and right of the designated area. The
automobile fits inside the space, either by parallel parking, perpendicular parking or
angled parking. Depending on the location of the parking space, there can be regulations
regarding the time allowed to park and a fee paid to use the parking space. When the
demand for spaces outstrips supply vehicles may overspill park onto the sidewalk, grass
verges and other places which were not designed for the purpose.
Figure 2.3 Parking Space
23.3 Parking Demand
According to C. Jotm Khisty and B. Kent (1984), parking demand can be defmed S an amount of parking that is estimated to be used at a particular time, place, and price.
8
parking demand is rely on the types of trip because it is different type of trips have
different types of parking demand. For example, for office building the peak parking
demand is on weekday and it differs with shopping mall which is the parking demand is
on weekend. Parking demand also affected by vehicle ownership, trip mode, duration
(how long the motorist park) ease of finding space, factors such as fuel and road pricing,
and mode split.
However, Edward C. and Stef Proost (2006) define that parking demand is
function of number of journey made using private vehicle. Parking demand was
estimated based on specific land uses.
2.4 Parking Management
According to Parking Management Best Practice (2006), parking management
refers to various policies and programs that result in more efficient use of parking
resources. Parking management includes several specific strategies. When appropriately
apply parking management can significantly reduce the number of parking spaces
required in a particular situation providing a variety of economic, social and
environmental benefit. When all impacts are considered, improved management is often
the best solution to parking problems. There are ten principles in parking management to
help guide planning decision to support parking management, which are:
I. Consumer choice - people should have viable parking and travel options.
2. User information - motorist should have information on their parking and travel
options.
3. Sharing - parking facilities should serve multiple user and destinations.
4. Efficient utilization - parking facilities should be sized and managed so spaces
are frequently occupied.
5. Flexibility - parking plan should accommodate uncertainty and change.
9
6. prioritization - the most desirable spaces should be managed to favor higher -
priority uses.
7. pricing - as much as possible, user should pay directly for the parking facilities
they use.
8. Peak management - special effort should be made to deal with peak demand.
9. Quality vs quantity - parking facilities quality should be consider as important as
quantity, including esthetics, security, accessibility and user information.
10. Comprehensive analysis - all significant costs and benefit should be considered
in parking planning.
2.5 Important Of Parking
Parking is an important part of the transportation system. It is an efficient means
of storing vehicles while they aren't in use. Parking can causes little disruption to the
roadways. Parking can affect the attractiveness of destinations as well as transportation
modes. The attractiveness of a destination is reduced if there is a delay or difficulty in
parking. The transportation system must include adequate parking facilities at all places
that attract trips. Basically, parking plays an important role in the efficiency of the
transportation system.
2.6 Parking Effect
Parking is an important urban transportation element. Traffic during parking may
cause congestion including fuel waste, noise annoyance, and air pollution around the
Parking area. Firstly, parking will affect the energy. Petroleum energy use is the most important energy source in this century. It is also a main power source for transportation
used. In 1973, there were energy crisis and most developing countries have adopted an
10
energy policy to save on the use of petroleum. As the demand for petroleum needs are
increasing with economic growth and population, the shortage will become more serious
than before unless other new substitute energy resources are found.
Parking will also affect environment. Increasing number of vehicles on roads in
Malaysia will caused air pollution. When the decision maker (parker) has not parked by
the time he reaches his destination then he will continues driving beyond it will he finds
the first parking place thereafter (Mitsushi Tamald,1982). Smoke from vehicle exhaust
of car can contribute to the air pollution.
Besides that, parking also affect mode of choice. According to Surber (1984), he
say that individuals that having an automobile available will probably choice access
their destination by automobile if parking is available and located at the destination and
also if the cost of parking is reasonable. Usually inexpensive or in plentiful parking is
incentive for using private parking automobiles.
Parking also affects the vitality of communities, commercial centers, transit
system, airport as well as the efficiency of traffic in town. Example, in certain European
cities it is estimated that 40% of the total of work is consumed in searching for parking
(Krohn, 1985).
2.7 Parking Problem
Parking problem will occur when the decision maker (parker) has not parked by
the time he reaches his destination then he will continues driving beyond it until he finds
the first parking place thereafter. Once he parks at some place, he must walk to his
destination (Mitsuslil Tamaki, 1982).
From time to time, problem regarding to this issue are getting worst especially in
urban areas. This is because urban areas give more working opportunity rather than
Village. Nowadays, the ability to afford a car is a common this proportional to previous.
11
According to Mohd Noor Awang (2003), parking problem occur because of the
growth of both urban function and the number of population who own and used motor
vehicles as their daily activities has increased the demand for vehicle parking spaces.
These growth together with the increase in density of developments such as residential,
industrial and commercial land used, limited land spaces and insufficient proposed car
parking area compares to higher private vehicles.
Basically, parking problem occur when parking demand are higher than parking
supply. Every single vehicle that enters the city will end the journey on a parking space.
When there are not enough parking spaces, user will have no choice but to park their
vehicles anywhere else. This situation will interfere traffic congestion and sometimes
might blocked others user and causing other serious accidents.
In city center, the attraction of large shopping malls and the increased use of cars
in the city center have lead to parking issues especially at shopping malls' car parks.
Parking problem arise from the moment before visitors enter the car park until after they
leave the car park. These situations are due to various behavior and desires of both
shopping mall operators and visitors. These issues ranges from user behavior, space
utilization, variable and peak demand, engineering design and planning, pricing and
parking charges, revenue collection, traffic management, security and safety to
environmental and regulatory issues.
This lacking of awareness creates future problem to the user or people who are
using this facility for business purpose, environment and the greatest impact will hit the
local council. Parking system that is not planned well and not in order will keep the
Situation getting worst.
Numerous strategies were suggested to overcome or at least to lower down the
number of parking problem for example sharing vehicle to the work place and using
Public transportation (e.g. commuter, LRT and etc). Some of these strategies have been
carried out but the outcome is not as fulfilling as expected. There is still no change in
Current situation. According to urban land institute (1983), to achieve better utilization
12
of parking lot, it is preferred to develop land uses with complementary parking use
requirements.
Base on Nelson (March. 2001), there are some issue regarding to these problems
(Table 2.1). From TDM Study interviews, the community and the stakeholder interviews
revealed the following tensions regarding to the parking:
