Chapter1
Urban Design for Sustainability 1-1 Introduction
Aim Creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive places promotes equitable economic development conserves land looks at towns and cities in relation to one another and their hinterlands

1-2 Objectives
The protection of the natural environment and conservation of natural resources at the local and regional scale The reduction of the impact on the natural environment at the global scale and in the longer term: reducing ecological footprints and achieving balanced production and consumption systems;

Promoting balanced and appropriate economic development whilst reducing social inequalities and improving social integration and cohesion; it is particularly critical to address directly the social issues and rapid changes arising out of mass immigration from low income countries. Advancing the quality of life in relation to the above Promoting the long term health of the citizens, including addressing the relationship between social and psychological well-being and the possibility of experiencing elements of nature locally (particularly important for children).

1-3 Developing the Vision

The Compact City strategy focuses on the form of the city and the efficiency of the distribution of human activities within it, making optimal use of the infrastructure of the city, particularly transport infrastructure, through compact, mixed-use and dense settlement structures enabling effective use of public transport and non car-based movement systems and minimising vehicular movements

The Short Cycles strategy is associated with the environmental thrust of Local Agenda 21 and an emphasis on achieving local environmental sustainability through more efficient local use of natural resources and recycling, greater local economic autonomy and a smaller ecological footprint.

1-4 Transit-Oriented Development

A transit-oriented development (TOD) is a mixed-use residential or commercial area designed to maximize access to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership. A TOD neighborhood typically has a center with a train station, metro station, tram stop, or bus station, surrounded by relatively high-density development with progressively lower-density development spreading outwards from the center. TODs generally are located within a radius of one-quarter to one-half mile (0.4 to 0.8 km) from a transit stop, as this is considered to be an appropriate scale for pedestrians

Chapter2
Sustainable of KAJANG 2-1 KAJANG CITY
Kajang was made the capital of one of Selangor's districts, Hula Langat in the 1800s because of it being in the district's center. Now, it seems to be the center of Selangor itself. Seeing a boom in its recent population, the town is wasting no time in accommodating all. Along with regular housing projects, luxury ones were launched as well, most famously - Country Heights, along with Jade Hills and the Twin Palms among others. The SILK Expressway is the main highway used to get from the main Kajang area to its many townships, most notably Cheras.

Recreational and lifestyle facilities around the area include Stadium Kajang, the old Billion Shopping Centre and the more recent Metro Kajang, Metro Point, (complex) Kota Kajang and big retailers Giant, Tesco and Jusco. Medical assistance is provided by hospitals Kajang, Putrajaya and serdang and a handful of privately run clinics and medical centers. As for places of worship, The Masjid (Mosque) Kajang is a visual attraction as much as it serves as a place of prayer, made distinctive by its bright yellow paintwork and is particularly vibrant with religious activity. It also proves itself to be an educational hub with numerous primary, secondary and tertiary institutes.

. It is located 21 kilometers (13 mi) from Of Malaysia's capital

Kajang Township has transformed from its agricultural and tin based rural substantial economy into commercialized small and medium industries, service industries and has evolved into a commuter township. Due to slow and sluggish infra-structure development , problems like traffic jams, crimes, pollution, unscheduled development and lots of other deteriorations in quality of life has slowly encroached into their daily livelihood.

2-2 Landmarks

Masjid Kajang

The center of Kajang is the bustling Old Town, where all the roads meet. Most of the colonial-era buildings were constructed around 1920s to 1930s. The architecture of these shophouses is a combination of traditional Chinese and European designs. The ground floor was used mostly for commercial activities and the upper floor as the family living quarter. One of Kajang's landmarks is Stadium Kajang which is situated in the heart of the town. It is near a popular hangout place among the locals named Haji Samuri, which is also home to the famous dish satay Kajang. People come from all over Malaysia to taste the satay here. The stadium can accommodate up to 5,000 people and is used throughout the year for the community soccer competitions.

Another landmark is the Kajang Mosque or Masjid Kajang, which is easily recognizable by its bright yellow facade. The mosque was painted and decorated by a local wealthy man, Datuk Ujang bin Bagong, for the benefit of the local Muslims. The mosque is lively at night with Islamic activities.

2-3 KAJANG AS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES:

Sustainable city should seek imaginative ways to maintain and improve the quality of life which will break the cycle of meeting our needs simply by consuming more resources and compounding environmental damage. The city should contribute substantially to four broad sustainable development objectives defined by the Government and adopted in the City Strategy.

KAJANG has a good natural environmental this is a firm base on which to build sustainable communities and a sustainable economy but there are weaknesses and challenges transport pressures are increasing and this is affecting both the cities environmental and its economy.

10

2-4 Quality of development

All new development should contribute to this aim. Health should not be adversely affected by pollution or by detrimental impacts on quality of life such as noise or visual disturbance or by the loss of opportunity for recreation through the loss of open space. Development should not pollute the natural environment. There is a need to maximize public access to open spaces and other natural areas due to their importance for informal recreation, while at the same time protecting the nature conservation interests of designated areas. Development will only be permitted if it maintains or enhances the general amenity of the are The main idea to develop this city was try to changing the town centre to Cultural Districts, Heritage Areas and Tourism, urban designers, developers and planners create new economic value for historic places and the inner city. Furthermore we try in this study to remove some old building and replace it with the new and sustainable structures; in other meaning we will suggest to replace the Kajang stadium and the police station with a big and inelegant toys city as shown below.

11

Figure 2: Kajang stadium and the police station

12

In other point we try to use the open area beside the Kajang River to develop it and make it very butiful lake throw the river and we called it THE LOVERS LAKE and in the same plane we will develop the river too as the pictures say blow:

13

Figure 4: Kajang River

15

Most of development should be medium quality to cover the whole kajang citizen that there income not high even the design of the commendations ,houses condominium . therefore the best type of commendiation for kajang city covering all the different income of the cetizin is using D- link house story ad multiy and condimium the future of the city depends on making it a place where people wish to live .kajang s city strategy recognizes this and has as its key residential objectives to : 1- provides quality and fit to live in homes with a high level of citizen satisfaction 2- Ensure reductions in the number of UN fit properties in the private sector, and Improvements in the councils own housing stock. 3- Enable housing need to meet effectively and on an affordable basis, particularly for key groups such as the homeless, older people and people with disabilities. 4- Improve the overall quality of life for citizens by coordinating investment in housing, with investment in economic, social and environmental needs.

16

2-5 Integration transportation development

1- Replace the KTM station to become transportation hub (kajang sentral) including LRT station ,KTM station ,bus station 2- Improve the road system in kajang by widing the old road if possible,

Construct new roads ,new multy level road ,resurface 3- the old roads and planting the midel strip to reduce the pollution 4- increse the padestarin area espectailly in city center of kajang and the walkways and all the walkways should include passage for the disables people 5-replac the Mini bus system by new buses which comfortable and sufficient to cover the kajang districts .

17

Chapter3
3-1 TRANSPORTATION:

18

Kajang traffic jam in its centre is become a serious problem in nowadays issue. It can be found in the several zones in Kajang Centre. We have divided those zones into four intersections which have bad traffic jam. Those zones are: 1. Balai Polis Zone 2. Satay Hj. Samuri Zone 3. Hospital Kajang Zone 4. Mydin Zone Those zones are shown below by figure

19

Balai Polis Zon Balai Polis zone has a big traffic flow from Kuala Lumpur which is occurred in the peak time. It is also influenced by the short leg in the left of this intersection. That left leg has 120 meters of length, it makes this zone can not arrange their self in traffic control. Another cause may be the high speed of economic growth.

20

Satay Kajang Hj. Samuri This zone is influenced by flow which comes from the south of this intersection.

South leg of this intersection is one way street, which is filled by parked cars that is placed in both of this street sides, and also the civil bus facilities are directed to this street, it makes this south leg has a big flow.

The third zone is hospital Kajang. This zone comes into busy zone because it gets influences from west and east legs, which have big volume in traffic flow.

21

Another causes come from the parked cars that are also placed in the both of the side in this street. Semenyih flow its volume also into this zone, it makes this zone changes intoone of the busiest zone in Kajang town.

Hospital Kajang Zone The fourth zone is Mydin zone, which is located at the east of Kajang centre. This zone is also experienced the traffic jam as same as the others .

22

Mydin Zone 1. Biggest population growth in the past 10 yrs in Malaysia, Hulu Langat.... (mainly due in migration) 2. Greater KL, the nearest suburb, Kajang in physical distance is 20KM from city centre 3. new Sungai Buloh - Kajang MRT, this will link up Kajang to most of the KL new hotspot 4. Road system - SILK, PLUS, BESRAYA, Grand Saga 5. Universities nearby - UKM, UPM, Uniten, Nottingham, Mara, Ikram, GMI, etc 6. distance to Putrajaya, Cyberjaya & KLIA 7. Full Amenities - hospitals, banks, posts, police, wet markets, shoppings.....

3-2 SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT

By influencing the location, scale, density and mix of land uses, planning can help to reduce the need to travel (especially by car), reduce the length of journeys made and make it safer and easier for people to walk, cycle and use public transport within the city. Major generators of travel demand will be focused in the city centre, Kajang town centre and district centers and near to major transport interchanges / public transport corridors. This will help to reduce dependency on the car and contribute to social inclusion by ensuring development is accessible by a choice of public transport modes from deprived areas and elsewhere for those without use of a car. All development is genuinely accessible by all modes of travel. It requires that all development: Is integrated into the transport network to provide for easy access by walking, cycling and public transport. Funds improvements to transport networks where travel generated by the development cannot be accommodated by the current infrastructure. Provides parking at as low a level as possible, having regard to the needs of the development. Provides new cycle parking.

24

After apply our suggestion to provide a few of facilities and system of public transport to improve Kajangs developmental access.

25

3-3 Parking
The main problem in kajang in parking especially near the KTM station which there park is small and in city center therefore,

1-the problem in parking in ktm station means that the people want to use the public transportation therfore we should motivate them to that and the best solution in using transportation hub with multistory park 2-regarding to the city center problem we can suggest reduce the parking in city center to motivate the people to use the public transportation and construct new park lot out of the city.

MORE Kajang folks are using the KTM Komuter service now, obviously because of the high cost of petrol.

But the way they are parking their cars on both sides of Jalan Bukit endangering other road users.

near the train station is

26

Potential danger: With little room left to park at the Kajang KTM Komuter Station, motorists are forced to park along Jalan Bukit.

Before the fuel price increase, the cars were only parked on one side of Jalan Bukit. With more people using the Komuter service now, The station is near SK Jalan Bukit 1 and 2 and SMK Jalan Bukit, so there is traffic congestion during peak hours. With cars parking on both sides of the road, school bus drivers find it difficult to negotiate their vehicles through the narrow space. Motorists are parking on the other side of the road as well

27

28

Chapter4

4-1 Minimum environment impact due to surge in travel demand .

Actually the congestion in city center cause the main pollution therefore, it should planting the city center to provide good environment to walk and to reduce the pollution ,the plantation should include the middle strip of the roads and to reduce the pollution,the plantation should include the middle strip of the roads and the walkways of the pedestarian.

4-2 Water quality and drainage system:

The quality of kajang water isinfluenced greatly by human development .acid rain is a common problem. Dust, dirt and other solid pollutants are washed with rainwater into drains, the water sometimes discharged untreated into local waterways.

29

We can solve the pollution of the water in kajang river. And this can be done by: 1-decrease the impervious area by make the parking lot impervious by layers of graded aggregate the surface from stones or design the residential area in way reduce the impervious area . 2-reduce the quality of the rain becomes surface runoff by make detonation Or storage tank for the extra water from development (Q after development <Q before development) MASMA manula discuss this issue with more details.

30

The pollution of the Langat River at Kajang was examined in terms of domestic sewage discharge. The effects of domestic sewage were studied. The water quality data obtained from effluents discharged at two selected sites along the Sungai Langat was used to develop indicators for sewage pollution. A model based on the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) concept was suggested for the development. The sources of the Langat River pollution are identified as industrial discharge (58%), domestic sewage from treatment plants (28%), construction projects (12%) and pig farming (2%) 1. Attempt has been made by the Jabatan Alam Sekitar Selangor to resolve the problem of water pollution. The Sub-Group Activity concept was implimented where water quality monitoring of
31

various polluting sources was carried out in addition to law enforcement and river pollution. Linkage of ecosystem health to all the biotic, abiotic and social-economic factors must be established if the ecosystem health of the Langat River is to be improved. Therefore, the use of indicators and indices to simplify the complexity of the problem are useful. This work has demonstrated that as least the water quality aspect of the ecosystem health can be simplified through construction of indices. It shows that the poor water quality is not only related to sewage discharge, it is also dependent on the location of the sewage source and also the number of treatment plants. This implies that location of treatment plants or residential areas from the Langat River are important in reducing ecosystem stress to the river apart from a constant surveillance of water quality and prevention of illegal discharge through law enforcement. With the incorporation of socio-economical data, the concept of a total ecosystem health management can be realized.

32

33

34

My suggestion is:

35

36

4-3 AIR QUALITY:

The main source of pollution is the traffic congestion. To reduce the pollution of the air should be decreasing the number of vehicles going to city and this can be done by motivate the people to use public transport.

37

4-4 Noise
1-buffering zones should be planned between commercial and r esidential areas as distance is an effective method for reducing noise level and it is cost effective.

2-shopping centers should be planned and developed that place the rear of the stores out by the busy street and the parking lot between the store front and the residential property lines.

38

4-5 Landscape and biodiversity: The assessment of biodiversity in managed landscapes remains problem for mainly: (i) Diversity measures strongly depend on the chosen spatio temporal scale of the prevailing assessment, and unfortunately there are no satisfying scaling functions applicable to transfer results to another scale.

There is a forest reseve in kajang namely the sungai congkak recreational forest .it is located in the district of hulu Langat, Selangor .cool, crystal-clean water, roaring rapids and Cascading River are the highlight of it. There is also arch diversity of flora and fauna

Metro point development encompasses an antirely new concept in kajang. it can be considered the first of its kind in kajang where the shope offices will have good quality finishes with modern faade and adequate landscaping .

39

40

4-6 Renewable energy:

1- Kajang have no renewable energy facilities only refuse derived fuel (RDF) facility located in semenyih for solid waste management one of important aims insustainable design without it the city will be filling with rubbish and the environment will be not suitable for living.

2- the city of kajang should adopt some projects to develop alternative methods including solar energy facilities , wind power and geothermal energy .we can use solar houses to provide energy for the houses to provide energy for the house and its suitable in kajang because the water hot most of the time .

41

4-7 Lighting:
Lighting is needed in many areas in the interests of public safety and it can enhanced the appearance of buildings, however much external lighting is poorly designed , controlled and misdirected and this can cause light pollution .the benefits of well designed and coordinate lighting include a reduction in overall energy consumption and an enhanced evening economy as well as reduced light pollution and good personal safety .

42

4-8 OPEN SPACE:

The structure plan recommends that local plans should establish open space standerds based upon the national playing fields association (NPFA) minimum standard .this standard requires the provision of open 2.4 hectares for children s play park .

43

4-9 SAFETY AND SECURITY

Good planning and environmental design can contributeto reducing the opporotunity for crime to occure and peoples fearof crime the city council should establish some crime preventation programs .increase mobile potrol and response services ,installing security cameras in and around vitial area and start educational programs to raise public awareness

Chapter5
5-1 Improvement the quality of the life for the citizens
The existing condition in kajang center right now is very crowded .we can find traffic jam every where .car exhauster become a main resource for pollution in kajang center there is a need to maximize public access to open space and other natural area due to their importance informe recreation .while at the same time protecting the nature conservation interests of designated areas .development will only be permitted if maintains or enhances the general amenity of the area.

47

5-2 DEVELOPMENT ACCESS

To encourage sustainable transport modes priority for the needs of certain groups over others should be given in the access into site . not only is it important that travel to the site is safe and convenient it is also important to ensure that on arrival , easy and and safe access into the site can be made . to make this consideration become true , we need to have a bid consideration in transportation system . we should increase the public vehicle in order to reduce time of arrival and make some new routes to make agood service for the civilian the detailed design of access arrangements should ensure that priorty is given in the order specified but not to the detriment of highway safety .

5-3 PUBLIC SPACE

New development should help to define streets and public spaces ,through the arrangements of the buildings to create a stimulating and lively city environment , streets and spaces should be varied in character where there are dominant existing street scapes new development should respect these variations to the streetscape should only be used where they can denote important or public buildings .

48

5-4 FLORA:
Trees are critical components of our environmental life support system and are necessary to privent or minimizethe negative combination of high temperature and vehicle exhausts from sprinning out of control and causing harmful ozone

levels.treesimprove air quality by providing a cooling effect through transportation water loss from theirleaves and by filtering atmospheric pollutants through their leaves . bydecreasing both the temperature and the amount of pollutants in the atomosphere ,trees can have appositive effect on our life .

49

5-5 FAUNA:
The signing by the government of the convention on biodiversity in 1992 has led to abiodiversity action planning process in the UK the UKaction plan published in 1995 identified species and habitats suffering particular decline or threat, and therefore globally or nationally threatened . local biodiversity action plans will be prepared to identify habitats and species locally (including endangered species)which are most in need of conservation action . development which would harm endangered species willnot be permitted .

50

5-6 CULTURE HERITAGE:

The local plan recognizes that the city should support , promote and celebrate those values , events and experiences that people hold or enjoy in common their culture . the city should offer a wide variety of high quality facilitiesand spaces ,events and experiences to allow citizens and visitors to enjoy their leisure the city aspires to become amajor international events venue and todevelop further visitor attractions in the cultural sector .

51

5-7 CONCLUSIONS
KAJANG urban life has the potential to be the most resource efficient pattern of development. Through the regeneration, conservation and rehabilitation of urban areas the loss of undeveloped or green field land is minimized. The Kajang Municipal Council will require that previously developed or brown field land is reused in the most efficient way and at the same time creates more attractive places to live and work. A target is set that 100% of new homes in the city will be built on previously developed sites. Building at higher densities and with compact layouts maximizes the use of land and reduces the need to travel by car. This higher density should not compromise the provision of a high quality urban environment. A number of Community programs will provide opportunities for training and capacity-building for local authorities to develop the skills needed, to worldwide exchange of best practice, knowledge and experience on urban issues for managing the urban environment. Moreover, support will be offered for local authorities to work together and learn from each other. These should be exploited both by the local authorities and local community.
