LANDUSE (APPROACH)

INTRODUCTION

Land use refer to the activity, economic purpose, intended use, and management strategy
placed on the land cover types by humans or land manager. Land use is an important
principle in the design of development. Generally, the main purpose of land use analysis is to
identify the characteristics of the study area. Therefore, study of land use is very important to
develop the strategic of the area and produce future land use requirements. There are many
activities that can take place on the land include housing, commercial, industrial, agricultural,
education and so on.

GOAL
The goal of study is recognize the special role of the natural environment, historic landscapes,
and traditional land use patterns combine to make the Bukit Larut as a distinctly scenic place
that tourism can visit.

OBJECTIVES

1. To identify the land use cover pattern at Bukit Larut.

2. To study the suitable activities that can propose at the study.
3. To analysis potential and constraint about land use pattern.

SCOPE

1. Existing land use pattern of the study area.

2. Land availability at the site.
3. Potential and constraint of land use at the study area.
TYPES OF LANDUSE

There are many types of land use which is residential, commercial, industrial, institution,
recreational and agricultural.

RESIDENTIAL LAND USES

Residential areas is a land used where housing dominates, compared to industrial and
commercial areas. Residential land uses can involve single family dwelling in large or small
lots or aggregations of multiple unit dwelling of various sorts. The most intensive residential
land uses are associated with cluster of apartment buildings which can support the massive
population density.

COMMERCIAL LAND USES

Commercial land is a different classification for real estate. Commercial land is not only
different because the business is usually located but also because it is considered different by
municipalities, utilities and other infrastructure. The commercial land value may change wild
depending on the location and what other business is located nearby.

INDUSTRIAL LAND USES

Industrial land uses are extremely varied depending on the type of industry being considered.
Industrial land uses is the use of a piece of land for industrial purposes such as
manufacturing. It usually a heavy industrial uses which is large pieces of land that are
required and pollution include air and sound pollution is likely to be high. The light industry
uses may include smaller, cleaner industries such as small processing plants. The industry is
usually placed in urban residential areas.

INSTITUTION LAND USES

Institution is defined as land uses developed which serve a community social, educational,
health, cultural and recreational needs. Institutional land uses are mostly associated with land
that occupied by public building such as school, university, government office buildings, art

Agricultural land is usually land reserved for agriculture, the systematic and controlled use of
other forms of life, particularly breeding of livestock and crop production to produce food for
humans. Thus, it is generally synonymous with both farmland or agricultural land as well as
grass land or rangeland.

LAND USE ELEMENT

1. Economic element promote land use planning and infrastructure investment to support
the development of commercial and renewal areas
2. Urban design element distinguish the aesthetics, design and quality of the built
environment including the compatibility between different types and densities of land
uses.
3. Transportation element is the key to understanding the integration between land use
and the multi-capital transportation system in the city.
4. Capital facilities and utility element handle the infrastructure required for planned
land use

LAND AVAILABILITY

There are many land availability which is new development, redevelopment, conservation
and preservation.

New development

Development process for new products or services. This type of development is set as a
preliminary step in product or service development. It involves a step in the protocol that
must be completed before introducing the product to the market. The development of new
products is important for any business that must compete with market trends and changes.
Develop an items to compete with certain products, services or improve products that have
been set up for new product development.
 Redevelopment

Improvement made by land developer which is erecting building facilities and structures that
follow site improvements by local government.

Conservation

Exploitation, improvement and protection of human and natural resources in a wise, manner,
ensuring the highest derivation of their highest economic and social benefits in a continuing
or long term basis. Conservation is achieved long term basis.

Preservation

Conservation development also known as conservation design that controlled growth land use
development that adopts the principle of allowing limited sustainable development while
protecting the environment’s natural features indefinitely which is preserving landscape, open
space, protecting habitat for wildlife and maintaining the character of rural communities.

LAND USE SECTOR (TECHNICAL)

INTRODUCTION

Based on the analysis, land use sector is the human use of territory for residential,
economic, recreational, conservation and government purposes. It involves the management
and transformation of natural environment into a built environment such as placement and
natural habitats. Land-use planning means systematic assessment of physical, social and
economic factors in such a way as to encourage and assist land users in selecting options that
increase their productivity, sustain and meet the needs of the community. A successful
planning also involves a balanced mix of analysis of existing conditions and constraints,
broad public involvement, practical planning and design, and strategies that can be
implemented financially and politically to be implemented.

GOAL
The goal of this study is to create a comprehensive land use from the analysis of land
availability for eco-tourism at Bukit Larut.

OBJECTIVES
1. To identify the land ownership and land status of the study area.
2. To determine the land availability of the study area.
3. To provide the suitable recreation activities that can be proposed on the study area.

SCOPES
1. To observe the existing land use on the study area.
2. To identify the government or private owned land on the study area.
3. To determine the potential and constraint of the available land that can be developed.
