BACKGROUND OF STUDY

This chapter discusses on the introduction of study. It represents the overview of the study and
briefly explains the background, the aim, problem statement, research question, research objectives,
scope of study, significant of proposed research and expected outcomes from this research.

A parking space is a location that is designated for parking, either paved or unpaved. It can
be in a parking garage, in a parking lot or on a city street. The space many be delineated by road
surface markings. Basically, any building development and construction must consider space for
parking lots. People need proper car parks to be provided to them inside or outside the building
especially the building operates at 24 hours. If the parking area is not in the development
consideration, then the project can be considered as failure.

The increase in population, can have an impact on modern technology systems that are
becoming more sophisticated and become one of the will of every human being. Similarly with the
development of the service. Therefore, the demand for modern motor vehicles increases the
mainstream of the car. The use of motor vehicles, especially the car, results in some problems, for
example, traffic congestion. And the worse the problem today is parking or parking facilities. Many
problems arise because of this.

In this research, we must know the actual problem, the existing facilities is suitable or not,
effect on traffic and also effect on the environment should considered in this marking parking
problem. Besides that, research on stopping car also important because the car drive slowly to find
parking place. There are several method will be made according to the type and volume size or
research area. From this research, we can imagine the real situation of available car parking system
or the new available car parking. From this data, we can get the provision of parking policy and
control the placement of parking needed.

This study was conducted by 6 civil engineering students and the environment of University
Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. The main objective of this study was to solve the problem of inadequate
parking. In this study the area of our study was durin town. The study was conducted from 31
October 2017 to 2 November 2017 using several methods, such as oral method by asking some
questions and opinions.
