SiteIntroduction
Pasar Seni or Central Market Area located in the
heart of Kuala Lumpur. This area is the center
for Malaysian culture, regionalarts,
entertainment and retail.
In this Kuala Lumpur district located a lot of cultural
attractions and heritage buildings, what makes it a tourist
attraction hotspot district.
The area of the central market is widely connected by public
transportwith other points of Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley
as a whole.
In general this area is well developed in contextof modern
city.
In addition to the fact that there are a lot of interesting places
near pasar seni, the whole area is also surrounded by various
landmarks such as National museums, mosques, cultural
buildings, hyper malls and art galleries
In other words this district has great abilities for successful
developing in future

traffic congestion.
This area is very popular destination due to wide public facilities range, despite on different issues in streets condition and

SiteSpecialties
Summary: this street have big potential in the future and need to be improved to develop its
opportunities

11. 2.1
SiteInventoryandAnalysis
The central market area has well developed
infrastructure and wide range of public facilities, such as
food spots, commercial spots, public spots culture spots
and etc.
That fact is making big flow of people visit this area.
Also Pasar Seni area is mostly commercial used zone,
however it is still mixed used area due to educational and
cultural places here. Place big value is that- there are two
importantpublic culture spots here.
Public transportation is quite well developed, although the distances
between the nearest bus stops and stations is not small

12. 2.1
SiteInventoryandAnalysis
Mostly in Pasar Seni area working and studying here locals
and a lot of tourists are gathered , as well as homeless
people sometimes.
Noise Level In this area is mostly high on Hang Lekir ,
Jalan Sultan and Jalan Petaling, however on inner
streets it is more quietly and noise level is medium.
These streets are Tun H S Lee and few small streets
between buildings.
In my focused area as it can be seen noise level Is medium.
The sun reaches its peak on the focused site about 11.30 and
already at 2.30 going down.
Sunny side during daytime on Tun H S Lee street is public
bank and Sri Maha Marianman temple side, which is
making people avoid walking this area during sun peak
time.

13. SiteInventoryandAnalysis
2.1
Vehicle pathes are different and well connected, but have such
problems as traffic congestionand lack of parking.
Pedestrian footpaths are well connected also, but can be
improved to make more comfortable walking and
resting place for people.
Tun H S Lee street pedestrian and vehicle pathes are
secondary. That means that traffic flow here is often
medium, despite on it there is always lack of parking
space problem.

14. 2.1
SiteInventoryandAnalysis
Tun H S Lee street surroundingarea has wide range
of building heights and ages.
Despite on variety of buildings and its styles, this area
is not very attractive for people.
This caused from not balanced streets design and
opportunities for people.
Also there is a big problem of historical buildings
preservations. It is very often can be seen that a lot of
buildings are not using and destroying by themselves
That facts making Kuala Lumpur city streets not
interesting and not comfortablefor people.

15. 2.1
SiteInventoryandAnalysis
Tun H. S. Lee street is a modern mega polis street with cultural
backstage.
Although there are attractive hotspots for people, this street is still not
very comfortable for people to use it very often.
There are such problems as lack of street furniture and plantings,
as well as not attractive street view, due to not restored and not
used buildings.
Also lack of trash bins causes trash on pavements.

16. 2.2
SiteIssuesSummary
Summarizingall the collected informationand analysis in general, we can identify the main problems. The number one problem is illegal car parking on sidewalks despite on
the medium car flow, the second problem is the lack of amenities for street use by people, such feeling that that street is created for cars not for people. The third problem is
the untidiness of the street which also repels people. The last and very importantis the destruction of the historical heritage and also not attractive street view for people.

Aboutcasestudies
The term ‘case study’ has few meanings, it can be used to describe a detailed study of something, or to
describe a research method.
Case study is an ideal methodology when a holistic, in-depth investigation is needed.
( Feagin, Orum, & Sjoberg, 1991 ).
Case studies can be and must be used in teaching and research both, because it is very
importantto rely on confirmed facts and things.
Case study allows people to explore and understand how different things are workingin real
life
In other words case study is an already proven and tested useful examples from
any study or research area.
Case studies making things clear, proven and balanced.
Case study is one of the most importantthings in research, because it is the connection
between user and researcher.
Well designed project, that is not well explained will cause the research to fall. That’s
why it is very important to involve case studies in the project research.

Tun H S Lee street is consist from different ages buildings. About 70 % of street are old buildings .
Many of old buildings are not using at the moment and destroying .
There is a great opportunity to restore these old buildings and make new cultural or commercialplaces.

Aboutgreeninitiatives
Green Initiative starts from goinggreen.
What does goinggreen mean?
Eric G. Olson definition:

articulated by the enterprise… that has a positive impact on the environment. “
Green principles:
1. Common culture preservation
2. Initiatives, transformations that improve the environment

23. 4.2
Preservationis green- Kentucky repair : rehab : re-use
Sustainable development is “ development that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generationsto meet their own needs. “
To be environmentally sustainable or green buildings should:
1 use energy and other nature sources efficiently
2 protect occupantshealth
3 reduce pollution and environmental harm
Too often there is an opinion that demolition of existing buildings and new constructionis a sustainable decision.
But is it true?
Preserving and reusing buildings preserves the energy and reduces the need for new raw materials.
But when existing buildings are demolished, energy is wasted as well as building materials are discarded in landfills.
Each year, millions of construction related materials are dumped in landfills, accounting for nearly one third of
nation’s total solid waste.
*1987, U.N. Bruntland Commission‟s report, Our Common Future.
Aim: to preserve naturalresources as well as energy
Who introduced? Kentucky heritage Council
When introduced? 2011
Why is it working? Itis easier and cheaper in both in terms of money and in terms of preserving the environment,
moreover such buildings have big cultural value and background.

24. 4.2
Preservationis green- Kentucky
This green initiative can be applied on Tun H S Lee Street straightly.
There are few old shop lots buildings that have to be restored or demolished, but in green
initiative way these buildings should be restored straightly.
In this case these building will be big benefits of this street, they will attractmore people
and preserve natural resources and energy.
All this buildings should be restored due to age issue.
Restoring this building will make new fresh look for Tun H S Lee street and will attract
