What are commercial areas?

Commercial areas in a city

can take up about 5% of a

city’s land. It is used for

commercial activities. These

activities include the buying

and selling of goods and

services in retail businesses,

wholesale buying and selling,

financial establishments, and

wide variety of services that

are broadly classified as

"business". Even though

these commercial activities

use only a small amount of

land, they are extremely

important to a community’s

economy. They provide jobs

and bring money into the

community. A commercial

area is real estate intended

for use by for-profit

businesses, such as office

complexes, shopping malls,

service stations and

restaurants. It may be

purchased outright by a

developer for future projects

or leased through a real

estate broker. This type of

property falls somewhere

between residential and

industrial property.

TYPE OF BUILDING DEVELOPMENT: TRANSPORT SERVICE

Site Analysis:

Taylor’s University students consist a big portion of international

students and students who live abroad originating from other states of

Malaysia. Apparently, these students will have to go back to their

hometowns especially during semester breaks but they have to arrange

their transport on their own or with the help of their parents. Apart from

that, cab services are provided to the students but most of the taxi

drivers are taking advantage, knowing that these students lack of

knowledge in transportation prices, they tend to over charge. And

nowadays, taxi services don’t guarantee the safety of passengers as

there are crimes involved.

Solution:

Through providing an outlet for land and air transport, a win-win situation

can be created as it will both benefit the client in terms of money and

benefit these students in terms of providing easier access in

transportation service. The 3 transportations are:

1. AIRPLANE – International students and students from East coast

Malaysia are able to book flight tickets in Taylor’s University itself.

2. BUS – Students from other states in Malaysia are able to buy long

distance bus travel tickets.

3. TAXI – Safety guaranteed and reasonable pricing provided to the

students by cab services.


Connectivity of Transport System: 3 ticket booths and 1 self service booth will be provided within the site.

Ticket booths:

1. Long-distance travel bus

2. Cab service

3. Flight ticket

Self service booth:

3 touchscreen monitors will be provided to the students to check their

academic calendar and print out on the spot.

How does it work?

Part 1:

Step 1: Students may check their academic calendar and print out at the self

service booth.

Step 2 : Students may proceed to buying bus tickets or flight tickets which

includes payment for cab service for transportation from Taylor’s University to

the destined bus station or airport.

Part 2:

Any students who need to call a cab can also use the cab service provided

simply by stopping by and requesting at the cab service booth. Students can

also set the timing of the cab service by calling in or dropping by.


Triple Transport Booth:

Lane 1 Lane 2

Lane 3

The Triple Transport Booth, a modern booth design that

provides functionality and simplicity for users. Users of

the booth refer to the icons at the façade of the booth

namely Taxi, Airplane, Bus and align in Lanes 1,2,3

accordingly to call for a cab, book an air ticket or buy a

long-distance bus ticket. The two touchscreens at the

right side of the booth is provided for students to refer to

their study schedules to arrange their time before

proceeding to call for a service.


Selected Site:

This is an unused space that

have been left bare which

volumes of students will pass

by everyday. It has potential to

be developed into the Triple

Transport Booth.

Location:

Block A, 2nd floor,

between Lecture

Hall 21 & 22 and

Library.

The location proposed has easy access and walkability. This

point can be proved as high concentration of people would

access the library during schooling sessions and it is very

accessible for students who just finished their classes to call for a

cab as most lecture halls are just one level below on the 1st floor.

The ticket booth also harmonizes with the environment of the

entire 2nd floor as it provides formal functionality as the other

areas on the 2nd floor as well such as the divisional offices and

library.

Wide elongated space on the slightly raised platform is suitable

for booth construction as usual tickets booth are built in a

rectangular width size.


Flow Chart: Relationship between Airplane & Long-Distance Bus

tickets and Taxi Service


How does it work?

Flight Tickets:

After visiting the self service booth, students who intend to take flight to

go back to their hometowns could just go to the flight ticket counter and

purchase tickets without the fuss of going online and checking information

out all by themselves. Students have the choice of purchasing one-way or

two-way tickets. Besides that, all Taylor’s University students and staff

could purchase tickets in campus even for vacation or travel purposes.

Lecturers can also purchase flight tickets for overseas field trips.

Long-distance-travel Bus Tickets: Students who live outside the state of Selangor or want to travel to

further places in Peninsular Malaysia can purchase their bus tickets

here according to their preferred timing.


How does it work?

Cab Service:

Taxi dispatch and tracking system are to be made efficient through

booking systems in Taylor’s University. Cab drivers who are enlisted in

this programme have to be ready for calls from this service centre and

are able to reach Taylor’s University within 15 minutes. This is to ensure

a systematic dispatch system as customers, students, from Taylor’s

University can be guaranteed availability of cabs whenever. Tracking

systems should also be installed in cabs collaborating in this service to

ensure the safety of passengers. Charges should be reasonable for the

students as a lot of students who are not from this region claimed to be

overcharged as they are unfamiliar with the prices. Commissions for the

taxi company could be added into the taxi fare but in a fair manner.

Taylor’s students are also provided call-in services by calling the

administration of cab service in Taylor’s University from outside the

campus for transportation.

Students who book flight tickets and long distance bus tickets could also

be provided with this cab service to transport them to destined airports or

bus stations.

AUTHORITIES ROLE IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Flowchart and Major Steps







However, construction performed for supra-municipal

authorities are usually regulated directly by the owning authority, which

becomes the AHJ.

Before the foundation can be dug, contractors are typically

required to verify and have existing utility lines marked, either by the

utilities themselves or through a company specializing in such services.

This lessens the likelihood of damage to the existing electrical, water,

sewage, phone, and cable facilities, which could cause outages and

potentially hazardous situations. During the construction of a building, the

municipal building inspector inspects the building periodically to ensure that

the construction adheres to the approved plans and the local building code.

Once construction is complete and a final inspection has been passed, an

occupancy permit may be issued.

An operating building must remain in compliance with the fire

code. The fire code is enforced by the local fire department.

Changes made to a building that affect safety, including its use,

expansion, structural integrity, and fire protection items, usually require

approval of the AHJ for review concerning the building code.

In construction, the

authority having

jurisdiction (AHJ) is the

governmental agency or

sub-agency which

regulates the construction

process. In most cases,

this is the municipality in

which the building is

located.
