LAND USE OF THE PROPOSED AREA
(BASED ON RANCANGAN STRUKTUR NEGERI
KEDAH 2020 WARTA 2011 )
Although our site is reserve for rubber plantation, but it is also close with residential area and
industrial area. So, it is possible for the landuse type change from agriculture to residential type
in the future. Furthermore, the site nearby with the industrial area so, it is also contribute
another factor that area will become bigger and rapid development due to number of labor
demand. (Source: Rancangan Struktur Negeri Kedah 2020 Warta 2011)
