This project proposal summarizes plans for developing a 30m x 40m site as a tourism area. The concept involves creating a natural habitat featuring an aquarium building at the center surrounded by plants. This is intended to attract tourists by providing an open, relaxing space for activities like picnics. Developing a tourism site is suitable because the surrounding town and city currently lack such attractions. The aquarium and green space will make the area more interesting while shielding it from nearby roads.

3. INTRODUCTION
In this project, we are given a task to look for a suitable site of 30m x 40m to
initiate a project proposal. For our group, we are required to propose a project proposal at
our 30m x 30m site which located at Jalan Ramin 6, Bandar Ambang Botanic, 41200
Klang, Selangor.
Students have to study different types of building developments. Some research
and site visit should be carrying out to make this project complete.

7. Introduction to the site
The site that we had chosen is an empty area that was abandon which located at
Bandar Ambang Botanic.
This site was surrounded by some buildings and parking lots. The conditions of
this site are quite bad as it was abandon by others. Rubbish is all over this empty field.
Tall grass that grow inside this small field causes the increases number of insects.
But this site location is a good location for any development. The building
surrounded it can helps in the development.

9. HISTORY
At the early year of 2002, Gamuda Lands Bhd started to develop Bandar Botanic.
Before that it was only forest and empty fields.
This development is mainly for residential area as first. In year 2005, Gamuda
Lands also build some commercial areas and business areas in Bandar Botanic to give
work opportunities for the citizen.
The site we chosen which is at Jalan Ramin, Bandar Botanic was developed in the
year 2006. The project took 1 years and 3months to finish all the buildings in Taman
Ramin. The completed date was on July of 2007.

10. SITE ANALYSIS
SUNLIGHT
From the site, the sun is always visible until the day become dark, around 7pm
because there is nothing blocks the sun. Although it is surrounded by some buildings, but
the buildings are not tall enough to block the sunlight. So, the temperature during the day
time is quite high, is around 30-33 degree Celsius.

11. WIND DIRECTION
The wind flows from all the directions around the site, except from the east of the
site because the building is slightly taller. Those buildings blocked the wind flow from
entering the site. But the site is also very dusty because the flyover is just beside it. The
wind blow stronger from that direction and causes the dust to enter the site.
SOUNDS
Few sounds can be heard from the site. The winds sound is obvious as the wind
blow strongly towards the site. The car sounds can be heard also in the site. Cars that pass
by through the flyover and the road near the site can be clearly heard. Those sounds are
very irritating and most people will dislike it.

13. SUGGESTIONS & PROPOSAL
Based on the research, I have selected “Recreational Area” as my study topic.
According to online dictionary, recreational area is a type of protected area
designated in some jurisdictions. In United States, National Recreation Areas are
administered by several different agencies. They typically do not meet the strict
guidelines to become national parks.
Community around the area needs spaces for relaxing and chilling after a long
day work or class. So, the design will be focus on closeness which can bring people
together with natural elements.
The design will bring people into a friendly, natural environment. Both hardscape
and softscape will be incorporate in the design. The right combination of hardscape and
softscape elements can ensure that you have an eye-catching design in place.
RECREATION AREA

14. In other hand, the design will bring people closer to one and another. The people
will get together to have a closer relationship with each other while having their own
privacy. They can have friends meeting, entertainment, small party and even stress-
relieving retreat.

15. CONCEPTS
OPEN AIR READING AREA
The site will buildanopenairreadingarea.So,the people wholivearoundthe areacan
spenttheirtime byreadingbooks. Youcan justtake a bookawayand shouldbringitback
voluntaryorat leastanotherone.The shelvesare neverclosed;youcango there andtake a
bookwheneveryouwant – 24 hoursa day.

16. UNIQUE WOODY STAIRS
The woody stairs give a more calm and natural feel. It’s not just a stairs, but it can
also be the sitting area for people just to take a deep breath and enjoy the view of the
surrounding after a long period of work.

17. ENGLISH BOXWOOD
Often referred to as common boxwood this species is native to Europe, North
Africa and Western Asia. Most notable characteristics of this dwarf cultivar include a
tight growth habit and slow growth rate (averaging only 1” of growth per year with a
mature height of 3’). English boxwoods have a tendency to bronze in the winter and
mature shrubs are susceptible to boxwood decline, especially when grown in full sun.

18. LEYLAND CYPRESS
The tree had been identified as one of the easier growing coniferous trees. The
average heights of these trees are confined to a maximum height of three to four feet in a
year. The soil that is perfect for these trees should be within a PH level of 5.0 to 8.0.
Although it is tolerant towards boney dry soil, but it always prefers well drained soil.
Root rot can kill the plant.

19. RATIONALE
By doing researches, I found that Open-Air-Library in Magdeburg, Germany,
which designed by KARO is a good recreation area. For example, people can relax and
spending their time by reading books in an open air environment. Other than reading
books, people can just chit-chatting among themselves at the sitting area.

LIBRARY
Magdeburg, Germany

20. BENEFITS
By providing this space,
people can enjoy the good view and
able to rest comfortably. Also, people
can get to meet up freely with friends
in this calm environment.
The site is surrounding with
trees and groundcover that provide a
better air quality for community. As
it’s recreation area, the main purposes
for community is to relax. Open air
reading area and sitting area will meet
the requirement of relaxing.
In other hands, the garden is
not only for the nice view, but also for
cooling down the temperature of the
surrounding area.

23. CONCLUSION
In short, this 30 x 40 site are proposed to initiate as a recreational area. The main
purpose to build the resting area in the site is to solve the issues of limited resting area
around the site.
After I fully understanding about the site, I started to plan the site based on our
chosen concept. I came out with some ideas after doing researches which can create a
different atmosphere as a recreational area.
Last but not least, I’d like to thank my lecturer and tutor for giving advices when I
face the problems while doing this assignment.

26. INTRODUCTION
We are given a task to investigate a site with 30m x 40m site. Investigation and
research for the site had been done with my group members, Loong Bolin. In this
proposal, I have to do the individual task which I have to determine the possibility of the
development for the site. Among industrial area, commercial area, residential area,
tourism area, recreational area and agriculture area, I think that tourism area is the most
suitable choice.
For tourism area, it is not necessary to have a big area or space. Even a 30m x
40m can be a tourism area. The main things for tourism area are the design or specific
things that interest others. For examples Taj Mahal, India, it is just a building and did not
occupy a big space. But, it attracts a lot of tourism to visit it because the design of the
building is a bit special compare to normal building.
So, I had chosen to do the tourism area for my 30m x 40m site. In this tourism
area will consist of interesting building to attract tourist.

27. Tourism Area
What is tourism area?
Tourism area is the commercial organization and operation of holidays and visits
to places of interest. To build an interest building, the design is very important.

28. THE CONCEPT
The concept of developing the site is related to natural habitats which consist of
aquatic and plants. To apply the concept in the development, building an aquarium as my
tourism main buildings is the most suitable. Other than that, green plants surrounding the
aquarium can also deflect the natural habitats of forest. The site will be like a park, but it
is a relax area. It is an open space and any legal activities can be done at there. For
examples, picnic, barbeque at night, fishing at the fish pond and etc.

29. THE SITE
In the site, I will be doing the tourism area as development. The site consists of an
aquarium. This is for the purpose of tourism. Plants and small building will also be
located around the aquarium. The rest of the empty space of the site will be some
roadway along the site, pathway with stepping stone, benches and other facilities for the
pedestrians. Some interesting statues are placed near the aquarium.
Why I choose tourism area and design the site like this?
To choose the site as tourism for the development is because of two main facts. In
the town which the site located does not exist any tourism building or place. Not the town
only, even the whole city do not exist this. Secondly, tourism is the only that less in the
city. If a city is full of business building, it will not attract tourism to visit it. The citizen
will also feel too boring to stay in such a dull city.
I design the site by building an aquarium in the center of my site. Plants are
surrounding the aquarium is because the road and flyover is just beside the site. The
plants can help to prevent dusty air from flowing into the site. The leaves of the plants
help to trap dust. There is also roadway along the site and pathway with stepping stones
for the pedestrians. Benches and other facilities or infrastructure are also provided. Those
interesting statues that are placed near the aquarium are to show that the aquarium is just
nearby.
How is the arrangement of the site (Where they located)?
Front entrance
In this tourism area, there are two entrances, one is the front entrance and another
is the back entrance. From the front entrance, the location of the aquarium is just in front
which is in the center of the site. The aquarium is surrounded by many beautiful plants
and flowers. To the front is the entrance of the aquarium. The ticket selling counter is just
at the entrance of the aquarium. At the entrance turn left, the resting zone is just there.
There will be benches for tourisms to rest there after tiring of walking around the area. At
the right consist of two ways which is the relaxing zone and the stepping stone pathway.
At the relaxing zone, there is gazebo. Tourists can relax at there and listen to the sounds
of nature at there. Foods and drinks are also allowed to bring into the relaxing area. Then
continue on with the stepping stone pathway. This pathway is for the tourists to walk

30. through and enter to the fishing zone. There is an exit from the aquarium which at the
middle of the stepping stone pathway.
Back entrance
From the back entrance, the fishing pond is clearly can be seen at the left. The
fishing zone needed a ticket per person to enter. The ticket selling counter is at the side of
the fishing pond. At the right is the green zone too but it is bigger in the area. This is for
the purpose for the tourist to feel closer to the nature. In this green area, many activities
can be done. For examples, cycling, jogging, etc.
The main building (Aquarium)
The aquarium is located in the center of site. The aquarium is in a sphere shape
and it is half- transparent. Tourists can see into the inside of the aquarium but is not clear.
Inside the building, there a cylinder shape, straight pathway. By walking along the
pathway, tourists can see the aquatic animals at their both side. And there are 3 levels in
this building. One of the levels is underground. And all the stairs to every level is at the
end of the pathway. At night there will LED lights that shine on the pathway. It make the
aquarium become more beautiful.

36. Conclusion
As a conclusion, to develop a site is not an easy thing. Building from the start
until the end consists of a lot of things such as design, idea, possibility, costing and etc.
Even a small site which only occupied 30m x 40m of land can cost us millions of budget.
So, think wisely and do more research before start to development a place. As the place
started develops, to stop or to change the development will cost more money and waste.
There is some successful development of towns that we can learn from.
