6. Introduction to Site
Existing Condition
In this ICI final project, we have to find a partner to form a group with 2 persons. We
have to find a specific empty land to initiate a small construction project, the size of our land
should between (30m x 30m) – (30m x 40m). Each of us has to come out a proposal with
different purposes.
At first, we discuss about the site that is potential to become our site. After been to the
entire site and observed the surrounding, we had decided our site. Our site is located at
Sungai Long, Kajang, Selangor and it is a parking lot now. There have UTAR University,
hospital, shop lot and residential area surrounding the site and also there is a morning market
opposite the site daily. It provides parking space to the residents there. The residents there
can just park their car on the site and just walk to the morning market. Besides, it also give
convenience to the university students to park their car and solve the problem of lack of
parking space because the population in this area is increasing and the university students are
lack of parking space.
History of This Empty Land
This land was own by a pair of husband and wife which live nearby that area. Few
years ago, development planned to build commercial area on this empty land which is
JUSCO. After consideration, development no longer builds JUSCO on this empty land. They
decided to move this commercial plan to Mahkota which is located beside Sungai Long. So,
this empty land is now become a parking lot for the resident and outsider.

9. View
East View
This is the east view from our site. There is also a residential area over there which is flat.
10. South view
This is the south view from our site. A new construction is constructing in front of our site.
WestView
This is the west view from our site. There is a small forest area over there which abandoned
for many years.
11. North View
This is the north view from our site. There is residential area which is double-storey building.
13. Type of recreationalarea
The type of recreational area for this site is to build a park.
Rationale-Why I chooserecreational area?
After the consideration of the site, I have planned to build a recreational area on my site.
There is only a clubhouse in that area which people have to pay for it. So I decided to build a
public park for the people, so that they can always enjoy, exercise and relax in the park with
no pay. I believe people there would like to get some exercises every day, get some fresh air
and also absorb some vitamin D from sunlight. There is a education centre opposite my site
which is University Tunku Abdul Rahman ( UTAR ) Sungai Long campus. If there is a park
opposite UTAR, for those student who live in hostel can always get some exercise in the park
or even they can relax and workout in the park.
Project Description
My member and I are living in Cheras, so we decided to find a site which is in Cheras area
and we finally found it. Our site is located at Sungai Long,Cheras. This site is potential to be
a recreational area due to the issues over there. The people who are living here are targeted
14. for the park. This site is free of charge so everyone can enter. It is very convenience for them
as there is also a comfortable open space for them to relax and rest. After every process done,
construction will be started.
Benefits of creating a recreationalarea
It is a good place to create a recreational area for the people. It is also a good timing to for
them to get closer to the nature. Due to park, there are many trees planted in this park, people
can also enjoy the fresh air there. Furthermore, the park also provide walk path for people to
jog. It is so much good to health. Create this park can improve the environment of the place,
population of the place and also the quality of the air in that area.
Impact of creating a recreational area
There will be impacts by creating a park in my empty space too. There will be a trouble of
clearing the rank grass. Also no one will like to representative to the maintenance of the
facilities in the park. If this continue happen, the park no longer become a clean public park.
People no longer keep the cleanliness of the park, thus, this park will be abandoned.
Whatis recreational area?
A recreational area is a type of protected area designated in some jurisdiction. In the United
States, National Recreation Areas are administered by several different agencies. They
typically do not meet the strict guidelines to become national parks.
15. Concept of the site
The concept for my proposal is to build a park. This park consists of a long walk path, man-
made lake, gazebo and open space. There are many trees surrounding the park, it gives fresh
air to the park. Open space is built for the people to rest or even do their warm up before
jogging.
Pine Trees
16. Pine tree is pretty good to decorate the park. We don’t need purposely to water pine tree.
Pine tree can absorb the water from the rain. Pine trees have 3 types of leaves:
Seed leaves (cotyledons) on seedlings, borne in a whorl of 4–24.
Juvenile leaves, which follow immediately on seedlings and young plants, 2–6 cm long,
single, green or often blue-green, and arranged spirally on the shoot. These are produced
for six months to five years, rarely longer.
Scale leaves, similar to bud scales, small, brown and non-photosynthetic, and arranged
spirally like the juvenile leaves.
Spiral Juniper Tree
Spiral Juniper Tree is cut with patterns. It is also a good-catching plant if it is planted in the
park. Juniper trees and shrubs are in the genus Juniperus in the cypress (Cupressaceae)
family. These evergreen conifers feature leaves that can either be like needles or scales, and
most of the species change from needle form to scale form as they mature. Most junipers
offer at least some level of drought resistance.
17. Walk Path- Tiles
I decided to make a long walk path for the park user. Also, I decided to use tiles to make the
walk path. Cyclist also can cycle on the smooth tiles while people are jogging on the walk
path too.
Open Area
People can have their family gathering in this open area. Also, for the jogger, they can warm
up in this area first before they jog.
18. Benches
I decided to put rolling bench in the park. After raining, people can just roll it and let it self
dry. People in the park will not worry about the seat and they can rest whenever they feel
tired.
Gazebo
I decided to build a gazebo in the park, so that people can have a rest whenever they feel tired.
19. Master Plan
There is a long walk path surrounding the man-made lake. People can have their activities in
the open area. Also, they can feed the fishes with breads.

21. Conclusion
Throughout this project, we learned that how beneficial and useful having a residential
area and recreational area would be. Everyone needs them so much.
We propose to use the empty space just by the parking lot to create a residential area
and recreational area. We want to make them be more convenient and attractive. We do
create them with own ideas just to propose it.
