Rationale
My proposalis a combination of commercial and industrialarea. After
conducting site analysis, I decided to proposea projectthat will benefits the
surrounding community and create a new tourist spotin Sekinchan. Through
analysis I havepinpointed the following issues to proposethis project.
1. Small public library in Sekinchan
Sekinchan has only one public library, which is small and can’t satisfy
many people who wanted a peaceful place to study or read books.
2. Less variety of rice inthe market
3. Lack of rice products inthe market
Rice products can’tbe found in the market. Rice products arehealthier
than other similar products in the market, for instance, multigrain snacks
contain lesser fats compared to other snacks in the market.
4. Uniqueness of food
In this place that full of paddy field, special dishes and beveragemade of
rice will be a uniqueness of this projectand attract touristto this place.
Project Concept
Concept of this projectwill be a combination of industrialand commercial
area. The proposalincludes a rice factory, a rice café and a rice shop. The
factory works as a producer, who processes thepaddy and provides goods for
the café and the shop. This proposalis required to
1. Providea harmony spacefor reading and studying
2. Producedifferent types of rice for customers
3. Producehealthy rice products for customers
4. Provideunique foods and beverages

Benefits & Impacts
Benefits
Sekinchan as a fastdeveloping tourist spot, touristnumber is increasing. By
producing various types of rice and rice products that can’t get easily from
ordinary shops, this projecthas potential to become one of the touristspot in
Sekinchan.
Special rice-related dishes and beverages served in the café is also a
uniqueness that may help this place to become a tourist spotin Sekinchan,
attracting tourist and bring advantages to the client.
By attracting tourist to this place, this place will become more crowded and
this will benefits nearby shop lots.
The factory, shop and café require sufficientmanpower to ensure everything
operate well. Therefore, this project will bring working opportunities for
residents nearby.
Besides, the café provides a place for nearby residents and tourist for
relaxation and gathering.
The public library in Sekinchan has a smallcapacity. The Rice Café can solve the
problem as it can also function as a study place for students nearby, due to its
peaceful environment.
By producing various typeof rice, consumers willhave different choices of rice.
Consumers can chooserice according their needs. For instance, black sticky
rice that serves as dessert, pearlrice that is more scrumptious, brown ricethat
contain more nutrients and so on.
Impacts
As tourist number increase in this place, Streets nearby will become congested
as the road in Sekinchan is not wide enough. This will cause traffic problem and
annoys the community nearby.
Only a little amount of vegetation is planted on site. This projectis not eco-
friendly.
Besides, Rice factory will produce somewaste products that might pollute the
environment.
