the cost of
Housing

33.  It gives an alternative to car-ownership - and
supplements the environmentally friendly
modes of transport
 It is a kind of 'mobility insurance' for cases
when other modes are not sufficient

34. 2) ENHANCED ENVIRONMENTAL
FRIENDLY VEHICLES (EEV)
 Emission standards for the definition of a clean vehicle
 Economic incentives to switch to more environmentally friendly
fuels will be implemented
Adaptation from Bremen Best Practices

35.  Clean Diesel Buses
 All new buses to fulfilled the EEV emission
standard and now almost the entire fleet
meets the EEV standard
(Enhanced Environmental Vehicles)

36. Clean cars
 Compressed natural gas (CNG)
- 350 CNG vehicles that results in a 60% decrease in NOx
emissions
- Partnership with gas provider
 Electric
- Partnership with energy provider
- Reduce the energy and emission of greenhouse gases
- The silent and emission free brings new possibilities for
improvement in quality of urban life.

37. 4. Development Access: Pedestrians, disabled
people, cyclists, public transport, private
transport

38. Collective Transport (Public Transport)
 Easy interchange between different Public
Transport modes
- buses
- bicycle
- taxi

39. Cycling /Walking– Individual Transport Modes
 The bicycle is the ultimate zero-emission-
vehicle
 ‘cycle streets’ with priority for cyclists
 Provides layers, well defined signs for people with a
visual impairment

40.  Infrastructure
 Cycle parking with good bicycle racks
(decentralised)
 On-street bike racks

41.  Interchange / Bike Parking

 Bike-racks at all regional train stops

42.  Advantages
- reduction of space for cars
- better conditions for walking, cycling
and public transit

43. For Disable people
Bus Tram

44. Ease of access for Tram

45. 5. Parking
 Parking lots should be designed to allow for users and
deliveries to reach easily on site, circulate through the
parking lots and exit the site.
 Problems:
 Shortage of parking
 Poor parking management system.

46. Provide large parking area
 Propose park and ride system
 Facilities getting into the station to using public transport
 Fully accessable parking space
 Propose a multi storey park
 building designed for car parking and where there are a
number of floors or levels on which parking takes place.
 easier way to cater the parking demand and do not provide
large area

47.  Specialization Park for handicapped
 Parking-meter system
 duplicate parking rate during weekends to encourage people for using the
public transportation.

48. 6. Urban Design Principle
 The combination of aspects of architecture, landscape,
public works, transportation system and public arts to create
dynamic urban environment.
 Problems :
 The street to the outer district from Kajang is quite confusing. The
signage and road network were not properly designed
 The condition of the street are quite dark.
 Lack of efficient street lighting.

49.  Gateways are the main zones of the kajang city that could
make people realize that they were entering the kajang town.
 High quality of street lighting
 LED street lights with solar powered
 The panel helps in the absorption of the sunlight. The battery gives the
power for the LED lamp when night falls.

50.  Design public spaces “ Kajang theme park”
 Provide green space where there are more trees and landscaping
 Installation of fountains, sculptures, water gardens and
special lighting.
 Will create an aesthetic value

51.  Ensure complete and integrated city linkages
 Using the public transport
• Road
• Railways
 Ensure the functional distribution of centres and facilities

52. 7. Context For Overall Plan
 New development should respond positively and integrate
well with its surroundings, taking full account of site features
and local character.
 Strategies for the overall design character of a proposal, to
be attractive and function well
 Respecting the local site
 Responding to the site
 Creating attractive surroundings and spaces to live

53.  Respecting the local site
 Respecting existing development patterns should not rule out different forms of
layout.
 Can help to provide variety, inject character and ensure that land within the
established boundaries of towns and villages is used efficiently.
 Responding to the site
 New development should respond positively to existing local landscape features,
including established patterns of fields or gardens, trees, ponds and ditches.
 Provide a framework for new development, that will help to integrate it into its
surroundings
 Creating attractive surroundings and spaces to live
 The existing pattern of development within an area; can provide a good starting
point for the layout of new buildings and spaces.
 Incorporating elements of existing local building patterns into the structure of new
developments can help to give them a clear identity and a sense of belonging.

54. 8. Security and Safety
 A critical component and integral part of sustainability.
 This element is often not explicitly recognized.
 Problems :
 Many illegal residents that live at Kajang.
 High crime cases : robbery, snatch thieve and pickpocket

55.  Provide sufficient police stations, police posts and police
patrols
 Place the closed-circuit television (CCTV) at the place that
always happen crime activities

56.  Build overhead bridge or zebra crossing for pedestrians
 The resident cooperation to help people when they are in
difficult situation.

58. 9.Landscape &
Biodiversity

59. Green-roofing system
 Varied substrate
depths to create
different habitats
 Planting a variety of
vegetation types
 Plant a particular
species of flora that
target species of
fauna

62. 10.Renewable Energy
 Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used
directly for lighting homes and other
buildings, for generating electricity, and
for hot water heating, solar cooling, and
a variety of commercial and industrial
uses.
 The sun's heat also drives the winds,
whose energy, is captured with wind
turbines.
