House lots of residential area

Town hall

Green plants beside the site

Potential & Strengths

The first potential of this land is the strategic location. It is located at the

centre of the Residential Area. However it was defoliated. The land is

nearby the town hall and some green plants beside. The size of this land

is approximately 30 x 40 m2(1200m2). Besides that, it is nearby a park and

all along the road.

Weakness & Threats

It is a waste that this land is being abandoned and placed with some

abandoned and leftover construction materials. Some water spots were

found in this area too.

Proposal 1

Recreation area

By: Lim Zi Shan

Suggestion

Proposing a recreation area on a 30m x 40m of defoliated land located in Kemaman,

Terengganu.

Rationale

The word ‘ recreation ‘ was to bring the means of “refresh oneself from some

amusement “ back in c.1400. Recreation is difficult to separate from the general

concept of play. It has been suggested that play or recreational are outlets of or

expression of excess energy, channeling it into socially acceptable activities that

fulfill individual as well as societal needs. Recreation is an essential part of human life

and finds many different forms which are shaped naturally by individual interests but

also by the surrounding social construction.

Most of the families nowadays are more focused on making money to

support their family. They have seldom time to be with their family and this kind of

situation will easily cause misunderstanding between family members due to

miscommunication.

The reason I chose to construct a recreation area is because I hope that

residents of Banggol Indah can relieve themselves from the stress they received from

work and enjoy pleasurable time with their family. Also, recreation activities can be

opportunities for solitude, enjoying nature and learning. Recreation areas are part of

the community’s identity, pride and health. People live in those communities because

they enjoy the stress relieve, aesthetics and quality of live provided by recreational

areas.

Structure

The center part of the site is the exercise area where there are various kinds

of outdoor exercising facilities for seniors and adults. It is to encourage residents of

Banggol Indah to exercise more and strengthen their physical health instead of staying

indoors after work or during weekends.

There is also a lake with a bridge above it next to the exercise area. The

purpose of the lake is to provide outdoor activities for residents such as fishing and

also to lower the temperature around the recreation area as the weather are worse

nowadays.

A big playground is also included in the site as to provide fun for the

children. Parents could spend more time with children hence strengthening family

bond. This is also a chance for residents of Banggol Indah to know each other.

There is also a flower clock surrounded by flower beds next to the lake.

Visitors can enjoy the scenery of flower beds and rest at the sitting-out area. The

purpose of this flower clock is to add some brightness to the recreation area.

There are also barbeque areas for families to enjoy time together or friends

hanging out by throwing a barbeque party. The area is free for all and users have to

clean up after using it.

The proposed recreation area are mostly green spaces to purify the air. Green

spaces are essential in reducing pollutions. Young generations can also learn more

about nature and blend themselves into nature.

Benefits

Economic Benefits

Open spaces such as parks and recreation areas can have a positive effect on

nearby residential property values, and can lead to proportionately higher property tax

revenues for local governments.

The level of economic impact recreational areas have on home prices depends

on how far the home is located from a park, the size of the recreational area and the

characteristics of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Open space land, recreation areas and compact developments may provide

fiscal benefits to municipal governments.

Physical Health Benefits

Obesity

Obesity is a major health concern and is closely linked to physical

inactivity. Obese individuals had a lower incidence of disease and mortality than

normal-weight individuals. Exercising activities can help curb obesity hence

reducing the percentage of having obesity.

Strengthen Immune System

A physically fit person is less prone to sickness. Research shows that

positive changes in the immune system occur during moderate exercise. By

participating in community activities and surrounding themselves with family and

friends, they increase in positive moods, which have been linked to enhanced

immune responses.

Mental Health Benefits

Reduce Depression

Recreation and leisure activities can help alleviate depression. Recreation

activities reduce alienation, loneliness and isolation, all of which contribute to

depression. Mentally recalling outdoor recreation activities increases positive moods

which are linked to improved self-esteem, lowered depression and reduce suicide

rates.

Reduce Stress

No one is immune to stress which we all experience at some point in our

lives. Positive and enjoyable recreation experiences can decrease stress, anxiety and

psychological tensions. Stress reduction also comes from group activities that

strengthen social ties and the calming effects of desirable outdoor settings.

Social Benefits

Strengthen communities

Recreation brings neighbours together, encourages safer, cleaner

neighbourhoods and creates a livelier community atmosphere. Recreational facilities

also help improve a community’s image, socioeconomic status and enhance the

area’s desirability.

Promote social bonds

Families that recreate together tend to be closer and more cohesive, and

have a greater chance of staying together. During recreation and leisure time, people

are less concerned with differences and more concerned with having fun. The

strength of a community is increased through recreation activities that allow people

to share their cultural and ethics differences.

Environmental Benefits

Parks and recreation areas are proven to improve water quality, protect

groundwater, prevent flooding, improve the quality of the air we breathe, provide

vegetative buffers to development, and provide a place for children and families to

connect with nature and recreate outdoors together.

Proposal 2

Commercial Area- Mini Mart

By: Lee Ning

Rationale

This mini mart will be located at the centre of the residential area. The main objective

to build a mini mart in this residential area is to provide an easy access for the

residents around to buy their daily object. With the appearance of this mini mart,

residents can save their time by going to buy groceries from this market rather than

the supermarket or other commercial block which is located in the city.

This mini mart will be a three storey mart. The ground floor will be the wet market

which provide fresh meat, chicken, fish, and prawn and also conclude a non- halal

cold storage which provide non- halal food. The first floor will provide the fresh

vegetables and fruits. The cold storage is also located at the first floor. Lastly, the dry

food like cereal, rice, bread, biscuits and so on will be collocating at the second floor.

Benefits

This mini mart will confidently provide conveniences to the community especially the

housewives and also the elders as it provides an easy access for the residents to buy

groceries. This mini mart will also provide job vacancies in the residential area.

Besides that, these will also benefit the owner of the land. This is because the owner

can obtain a stable profit from the community as long as the prices of the items are

reasonable. Therefore this kind of mini mart will surely create a win-win situation to

the owner and residents.

Impact

However, this project will also bring some negative effect to the residential area. As

this mini mart is not an existing structure, there will be a sound pollution to the

residential area during the construction. Besides that, there might be a road block

during the phase of construction which will definitely affect the usual lifestyle of the

residents. Lastly, arrival of this building will block the scene of the green zone from

some residential area.

The relevant stages of development process are as

follows:

(1) Initiation Stage

The commencement point of land development process is when a land is considered

suitable for a different or more intensive use or demand for a particular use leads to a

search for a suitable site by an initiator. The initiator can be the landowners

themselves who in turn may also assume the role of the developer at the proceeding

stage. In some cases, the initiator is the public sector and government agencies who

also sometimes play the role of the developer. An accountant also usually features at

this stage to provide advice to the developer and public sector on structure of

partnership.

Another main actor in this stage is the commercial agent or estate agent who can

identify the right site that meets the requirement of a developer’s property

development portfolio or criteria and by bringing together some of the main actors in

the process. An agent is also often involved in every proceeding stage which is

outlined afterwards.

(2) Evaluation

This is the stage whereby action taken under the form of market research and financial

appraisal guides the developer in making decisions throughout the process. At this

stage, the developer is supported by a professional or an economic consultant in the

person of registered property valuers or appraisers. Upon instruction, they will

prepare a detailed analysis of the characteristics of the market in terms of the

underlying demand and competitive supply in what is called the market and feasibility

study.

(3) Acquisition

This stage actually begins with legal investigation of the site on issues such as land

ownership and planning permission, proceeding with ground investigation which is a

thorough assessment on the physical attributes and capabilities of the site to

accommodate the development, and ending with sourcing and obtaining financing and

funding for the acquisition and development exercises.

The developer can either carry out the legal investigation of the site on its own or

engage a lawyer (solicitor) to conduct the task. A solicitor also plays a role in

preparation of legal agreements of funding arrangement entered into by the developer.

The public sector may also become involved in this stage in situations where a large

site with many occupier and landowners need to be assembled since as the

government, they can use their legal powers of compulsory purchase to acquire the

site.

An accountant also features at this stage by providing advice to the developer or

public sector on the structure of project funding or financing arrangement. In most

cases, financial institutions are the providers of finance in land and property

development in terms of development finance (short term money) and long term

money or financing the cost of holding the completed development as an investment.

Alternatively, in land/property development of Sell-Build-Transfer type, the

developer may finance its development project by seeking a buyer for the completed

scheme to repay the short-term loan and realize any profit.

(4) Design and costing

This is the stage where the preparation of plans and cost estimates for the proposed

development is undertaken generally carried out simultaneously with various other

stages of development process.

At this stage, if the developer is a large corporate entity already having the qualified

professional staff in its stable, then the preparation of the plans and estimates can be

said as to be prepared in-house by the developer itself. However, it is also common

practice, as in the case with the public sector and some private developers to engage

an outside professional team at this stage comprising the following consultants:

i. Architects

Architects main role in this stage is designing the appearance and construction of

new buildings and refurbishment of existing building. In some cases they also

administer the building contract on behalf of the developer.

ii. Quantity surveyors

This consultant (also termed as ‘building accountant’ by Cadman and Topping) plays

the role of advising the developer at this stage on the likely costs of the total building

contract and associated costs by performing:

- costing the designs produced by the architect,

- administering the building contract tender, and

- advising on the most appropriate form of building contract.

iii Building surveyor

In re-development involving refurbishment works, building surveyors are engaged to

survey the existing building and advice on the alterations to be made to the developer

(5) Permissions

This is the stage where statutory planning permission (preliminary outline planning

consent followed later on by detailed planning consent) from the local planning

authority before commencing with the actual development is obtained. In some cases

and depending on the original status of the acquired land, the landowner or developer

has to apply from the state authority for conversion and sub-division of the land

before the land can be developed. Land Surveyors will play their role in survey and

measurement of the land. Planners in the form of politicians are responsible for

approving the development plans drawn up by professionals in accordance with

policy which they have earlier set down, and approving and refusing the applications

for permissions for development proposals.

Planners in the form of professionals or Planning Consultants on the other hand come

up with the development plans on behalf of the developer and the ones who will

negotiate with the local planning authority as to the permission that allow for the

‘highest and best use’ development particularly with large or sensitive schemes. This

planning permission can also be obtained by an Architect if a planning consultant is

not employed.

(6) Commitment

This is the stage where the land development really starts to materialize in the form of

signed agreements on matters such as inputs of land, finance, labour and materials and

statutory permissions.

Various actors and sub-actors that have been mentioned before will come together at

this stage performing their associated roles as follows:

i. Landowners, public sector and developer as the main actors in the

commitment depending on the structure of partnership on the land development.

ii. Lawyers / solicitors in overseeing the signed agreements, tenders and

contracts between the developer and building contractor and its professional team of

consultants such as architects, quantity surveyors and engineers

(7) Implementation

This is the stage when all the raw materials of the development process are in place.

Once again various actors and sub-actors that have been mentioned before will come

together at this stage performing their relevant roles as follows:

(1) Architects administer the design and build contracts and certify completion

of the building works.

(2) Quantity surveyors monitoring the construction and approving stage

payments to the contractor, and participating in the administration and management of

design and build contracts.

(3) Building contractors are the main actor in this stage by undertaking the

construction of the development scheme. A building contractor who undertakes and

oversees this entire stage of land development is also called the ‘Turnkey Contractor”.

With relevant expertise, this building contractor may also be the management

contractor who manages the various usb-contractors for the developer. The developer

itself can be the builder if it has the necessary in-house expertise or keep its

contracting division as a subsidiary company with an entirely separate profit-making

centre.

(3) Engineers are involved in this stage in the construction of improvements

on the land. There are three types of engineers involved in this stage:

1) Civil engineers role is in supervising major infrastructure works and/or

ground work.

2) Structural engineers role is in advising architects and quantity

surveyors as to the design of the structural elements of the building.

3) Mechanical and electrical engineers are the team that designs all the

services within building of large and complex schemes.

(4) Project managers are normally employed if the land development schemes

are large and complicated to manage the professional team and the building contract

on behalf of the developer.

(8) Let / manage / dispose

This is the stage of securing a willing occupier of the end-product of the development

at the estimated rent or price by way of letting or outright sale. Depending on the type

of development, this stage proceeds immediately after initiation stage as in the case of

sell-build-transfer type of development which is of the norm in Malaysia. The main

actor at this last stage (which can also be the first stage depending on the type of the

development) is the property or estate agent who is the link between the developer

and the occupier. Agents may also be used by developers to assist them in securing

the finance for a development scheme. The agents are professionals who include

chartered surveyors, registered valuers and licensed real estate agents.

Apart from the above-mentioned, there are other actors who are also involved in the

development process depending on their area of expertise and the scale of the

development. This includes highway engineers, landscape architects, soil specialists,

public relations consultants and marketing consultants.

In practice, the land development process also does not always rigidly follow the

sequence of stages as mentioned above. Some stages may overlap and occur

simultaneously.

Estimate cost for the project= RM 2,000,000- 2,500,000

Conclusion

After comparing the benefits and the impact of this project, the benefit is greater than

the impact. This is because the impact will only affect for once awhile but it will

provide a long-term benefit. In the conclusion, this project is a worthwhile project to

be considered.
