As

diagram,
air
(wind)
flows
from
the
forested
area
on
the
hill
site
to
a
meadow
will
tend
to
rise.
It
is
due
to
air
in
the
meadow
is
exposed
to
more
solar
radia0on,
hence
making
the
air
less
warmer
and
dense.

• It
is
built
with
an
open
space
with
no
walls
around
it
to
show
the
scenery
and
ac0vi0es
that
take
place.
Example:
-­‐Sound
of
the
wave
and
the
leaves
waving
just
like
they
are
whispering
in
the
forest.
-­‐Ac0vi0es
that
take
place
around
such
as
animals
roaming
around
the
area,
tourist
having
picnic,
birds
viewing
and
many
more.
-­‐Feel
the
space
that
the
nature
can
provide.
-­‐Some

the
place
along
the
beach
area
has
a
different
al0tude
compared
to
the
normal

60. WHAT
KIND
OF
COLORS
AND
MATERIALS
DID
THEY
USED?
• The
materials
used
in
this
area
are
cheap
and
easy
to
ajain.
• The
colors
used
are
mainly
to
suit
the
surroundings
such
as
the
color
of
the
soil
and
wood
(brown).
WOOD
AND
CEMENT
AS
THE
BASE
CONCRETE
AND
STEEL
STRUCTURE
WOOD
IS
WRAPPED
WITH
ROPE
FOR
RESISTANT
AND
REINFORCEMENT
The
material
they
used
would
mostly
be
found
in
the
forest
around
it.
Example:
-­‐
Timber,
ropes
and
some
steel
and
concrete
for
reinforcement.
In
order
for
the
animals
to
not
see
it
as
an
alien
object
,
the
materials
are
all
nearly
made
to
be
of
the
same
texture
(wood
texture).

61. STRUCTURE
OF
THE
BUILDING
The
joints
between
each
sec0on
is
carefully
calculated
and
measured
so
that
it
will
last
longer
and
can
withstand
everything
the
nature
is
able
to
throw
at.
Example:
-­‐
Monsoon
season,
drought,
high
salt
content,
sof
earth
founda0on.
The
building
style
also
allows
natural
sunlight
and
wind
to
penetrate
the
inner
side
of
the
building.
Besides,
the
materials
used
have
been
reduced
due
to
the
simple
columns
and
roof
structure.
Ques0ons
that
should
be
asked
before
designing:-­‐
Example:-­‐
-­‐
What
harm
will
they
cause
towards
the
environment?
-­‐
Will
the
animals
feel
threatened?
-­‐
What
will
the
visitors
think
of
the
structure?

64. TRAIL
One
example
is
the
nature
trails,
which
is
used
by
people
learning
about
the
natural
world.
Many
trails
are
designated
day
trails,
meaning
that
they
are
generally
used
by
people
out
for
a
short
hike,
less
than
a
day.
Some
trails
are
designated
backpacking
trails,
or
long-­‐distance
trails,
and
are
used
by
both
day
hikers
and
backpackers.
Under
high
flow
condi0ons,
water
runs
over
the
roadway.
The
slot
drain
covers
is
constructed
as
one
of
the
walkway.
Concrete
paving
has
also
been
used
for
what
it
offers
in
night-­‐
0me
visibility,
environmental
friendliness,
and
low
maintenance.
Stairway
trails
are
another
way
to
ascend
higher
slopes.
The
stairs
are
constructed
by
making
cuts
in
the
dirt,
concrete
and
manufactured
wood.

65. S I G N A G E
The
main
purpose
of
a
sign
is
to
communicate,
to
convey
informa0on
such
that
its
receiver
can
make
cogni0ve
decisions
based
on
the
informa0on
provided.
In
general,
signs
can
be
classified
into
the
following
func0ons:
(a) Informa0on:
signs
giving
informa0on
about
services
and
facili0es,
e.g.,
maps,
directories,
instruc0ons
for
use,
etc.
(b)
Direc0on:
signs
leading
to
services,
facili0es,
func0onal
spaces
and
key
areas,
e.g.,
sign
posts,
direc0onal
arrows,
etc.
(c)
Safety
and
Regulatory
:signs
giving
warning
or
safety
instruc0ons,
e.g.,
warning
signs,
traffic
signs,
rules
&
regula0ons,
etc.

66. S A F E T Y
Major
advantages
of
trail
ligh0ng
includes:
preven0on
of
accidents
and
increase
in
safety.
There
is
some
three-­‐strand
twisted
natural
fibre
rope
along
the
steep
trail,
which
is
designed
to
stretch
under
load
in
an
elas0c
manner
in
order
to
absorb
the
energy
required
to
arrest
a
person
in
free
fall
without
genera0ng
forces
high
enough
to
injure
them.

67. WATER
There
is
an
elevated
water
tank
beside
the
camp
site.
The
water
tank
provides
storage
of
water
for
drinking,
fire
suppression,
food
prepara0on
as
well
as
many
other
applica0ons.

77. Turtle
Landing
-­‐
Happens
all
year
round.
-­‐ Higher
frequency
of
landings
on
south
side
of
jejy,
due
to
unique
sand
and
trees.
-­‐ Lower
frequency
of
landings
on
north
side
due
to
high
human
ac0vity.

78. Fishing
• A
common
ac0vity
by
the
campers
and
trackers.
• A
higher
frequency
of
fishing
towards
the
East
side
of
the
lake
as
it
is
less
swampy
and
easier
to
excess
for
fishing.

79. Tracking
Trail
• Basic
means
of
gewng
from
one
place
to
another.
• Some
trails
are
less
traveled
as
the
dura0on
and
difficulty
level
of
the
trail.

80. Camping
Site
• A
fixed
area
is
cleared
for
campers
to
reside.
• Max
100
people
are
allowed
to
camp
in
the
area.
• Highest
intensity
of
noise
and
light.
• Far
from
beach
to
avoid
interrup0ng
turtle
landing.
• Situated
on
high
and
firm
grounds.

81. Beach
Ac0vity
• Pantai
Kerachut
has
a
very
wide
beach
which
allows
a
wide
range
of
ac0vi0es
to
be
held.
• Water
sports
are
banned
to
avoid
hur0ng
marine
life
• High
frequency
of
human
ac0vity
and
noise
on
the
north
side
of
the
beach
as
the
south
side
is
out
of
bounds
due
to
turtle
ac0vity.

82. Boat
Ac0vity
• Boat
ac0vi0es
are
minimalized
to
reduce
sound
and
water
pollu0on
as
it
will
effect
the
frequency
of
turtles
landing.
• Boats
are
not
allowed
to
access
south
sec0on
of
the
beach,
does
not
interrupt
turtle
landing.

83. Noise
Pollu0on
• Occurs
at
places
with

frequency
and
at
