Problem StatementYou are given a task by the mayor of your
hometown to evaluate and give suggestion on how to plan the town in
accordance with Local Agenda 21. Write a brief report on your
evaluation and suggestion.
Figure 1: Tanjung Malims mapTransportIn my hometown, Tanjung
Malim, there are a lot of public transports provided in this town.
But, there are some issues regarding with the public transport. As
we know, the public transports make our life more convenient. In
this situation, for KTM station, the location is very far from the
bus station. We have to go to the KTM station by taxi. Next issue
of the transport is about their mobility. To make it more
sustainability, the public transport system need to be improvised.
We can start enhancing it by adding more route and path for a
shorter commute for the people. Apart from that, we can encourage
people to use bicycle more often, not only because it is good for
health but also can save the environment too. EducationThe
education system in this town, is covered from the kindergarten to
highest level education. The highest level education such as UPSI,
known as one of the oldest university in Malaysia. Education system
must be systematic and reliable for living purpose. We must try to
develop a new reliable system, such as from examination based
system to long life learning and application based system. This
will help the youth to be more creative.
Health and healthcareIn my hometown, there are a few of private
polyclinic, clinics and hospital. People can get immediate
treatment for their health because there a few healthcare in the
area. The only issue for the private healthcare, the medicine cost
or treatment is more expansive that the government hospital or
clinic.
Waste and recyclingThe wastes are collected based on the time
table that is made by the MDTM. There are three zones of Tanjung
Malim, two zones of Slim River, the other is Slim River and Trolak,
Slim River and Slim Village and last one is Behrang.The timetable
is very systematic and effective. There are some places need to
collect their wastes in everydays, or every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday or every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
EmploymentFor employment in my hometown, there are a lot of job
opportunities. For example, there is a hypermarket in Behrang 2020,
PROTON factory and many more.
Green space Some of the green spaces in my hometown are Sungai
Bil, Sungai Slim, Strata Falls, and Proton City. Each of the green
spaces has their own activities. For example, Sungai Bil and Strata
Falls as the water falls, Sungai Slim as water rafting and for
proton city as the recreational park.
SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTSustainability is the practice of creating
structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible
and resource-efficient throughout a buildings life cycle. Its
concept is to reduce the environmental impact of new buildings.
Buildings account for a large amount of land use, energy and water
consumption, as well as air and surrounding atmosphere.Besides,
sustainability also is the measurement of capability to sustain in
long term by considering the environment, social, public health and
safety. In real construction world, sustainability is a very
important concept to provide a better place to our next
generation.Sustainable design can reduce the overall impact of the
built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water and other resources Protecting
occupant health and improving employee productivity Reducing waste,
pollution and environmental degradation.
