QUESTION 1

a) Local Planning Authority refers to is a local government body that has been given legal
authority to carry out urban planning functions in a specific area. The functions of the local
planning authority are, firstly, The Local Planning Authority is in charge of regulating, controlling,
and planning the development and use of all lands and buildings that fall under its jurisdiction.
Secondly, Publicly submitted planning permission applications are being processed. Next, Land
use development activities are regulated by relevant laws and guidelines. Lastly, coordinating
the implementation of gazetted development plans' policies and strategies

b) The Neighbourhood Unit Plan is an effort to create a residential neighborhood that meets
the needs of family life in a unit that is connected to the larger whole but has its own identity.
The benefits of the neighborhood unit are, firstly, Safety Factor. Environmental Design, which
includes basic surveillance, natural path, clarity control border, maintenance, and management,
can be used to establish safety and security. Prevention of crime through distribution is capable
of instilling a sense of community and belonging. Safety can also be achieved through the
concept of a "shared street," which allows cars, pedestrians, and children to use the road
together in a residential area. Next, Social Factor. Through effective space restructuring, social
factors such as communal feelings can be created, allowing one-to-one interactions in measure
distance ecology. In turn, this could lead to a sense of psychological and psychosocial security.
As a result, social concepts such as group chat, group sympathy, and social collaboration arose
to help people overcome obstacles together. A friendly neighborhood Meanwhile, the courtyard
neighborhood's provision of open spaces can be used as a place to do joint activities,
recreation, and relaxation while also forming social bonds.

QUESTION 2

a) The plinth area is defined as the total area captured by the building, including the interior
or exterior wall, and is also referred to as the built-up area. The plinth area is a covered area
built into the basement or any story's floor level. The Plinth area is the total area from one
external wall to the next, as well as from one internal wall to the next, and is sometimes
confused with the Carpet area. The plinth area, also known as the built-up area, is the total area
captured by the building, including the interior or exterior wall.

b) The National Physical Plan (NPP) is the framework's highest planning document. It
includes physical plans that translate the country's strategic and sectoral policies into spatial
and physical dimensions. A National Physical Plan is a type of planning that includes a spatial,
or geographical, component. The goal is to establish a spatial structure for activities or land
uses.

c) Regional Plan defined as the integrated management of a spatially bounded area's

economic, social, and physical resources. The efficient placement of land-use activities,
infrastructure, and settlement growth across a larger area of land than an individual city or town
is the focus of regional planning. Regional planning is similar to urban planning in that it is
concerned with land-use practices on a larger scale.

d) The Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) was established to boost economic
growth in Peninsular Malaysia's four northern states. It is one of Malaysia's wealth corridors,
created to ensure an equitable distribution of wealth across the country, in line with the country's
ambitions to become a high-income developed nation.

e) A site plan is a type of drawing used by architects, landscape architects, urban planners,
and engineers to depict existing and proposed conditions for a specific area, usually a parcel of
land that is to be altered. Site planning usually starts with a thorough site analysis to assess a
potential development site. Slopes, soils, hydrology, vegetation, parcel ownership, and
orientation data are all available.

f) In essence, the New Concept of Township Development is a self-contained community

with attractive landscaping, amenities, security, and a lifestyle concept.
QUESTION 3

a) Floods are the most common disaster in Malaysia, which is affected by seasonal
monsoon floods, flash floods, and tidal floods. Flood disasters have had devastating effects on
people, destroying livelihoods, destroying property and infrastructure, and killing people. Every
year, flood damage costs millions of dollars and lives are lost.

The destruction of homes and land would be the most immediate flood effect. As long as
the waters remain at a certain level, people are displaced and may be forced to evacuate to
higher ground, putting their lives in danger. Floods have an impact not only on people but also
on the environment. The destruction of structures such as bridges and roads adds to the human
toll and makes it more difficult for aid to reach those in need.

Crops are destroyed when rural areas are hit. Floods cause significant damage, disrupt
economic processes, and result in a food shortage. The impact of flooding on property value will
result in a decrease in real estate value in areas that continue to experience flooding. There will
be some areas that are more vulnerable to flooding. These areas' flood problems exacerbate
the already deteriorated state of their environment. Flooding has a huge impact, especially in
urban areas. Cities are flooded, disrupting business, commerce, and tourism. The causes and
effects of flooding have far-reaching consequences.

Floods can be extremely damaging to the environment. Floodwaters are primarily filthy
water that can carry waterborne diseases and possibly chemicals that can degrade soil quality
in the environment. Flood water can contaminate a community's water supply, resulting in
diseases and epidemics. The water in the river overflows and travels to the surrounding land or
area when there is too much rainwater, especially after seasonal rainfalls. Floods are always a
threat in areas near rivers and bodies of water.

The impact of flooding on property value can cause real estate prices to plummet in a
given area. The first thing people look for in cities and residential areas is safe disaster-free
areas that are not near earthquake zones or prone to flooding. Because of poor town planning
or proximity to bodies of water, certain zones or areas are more vulnerable to flooding.

Flooding has the most serious economic consequences. Everything, including business
and economic processes, comes to a halt during a flood. Floods obliterate food supplies and
disrupt transportation routes. A country that is prone to flooding is spending money on recovery
rather than growth and development. Businesses will be hesitant to invest in disaster-prone
areas, and livelihoods will be disrupted as well. These areas will come to a halt in their
development.
b) The majority of construction sites that experience difficulties do so due to managerial
issues rather than technical difficulties. Without a lot of extra work, site-based management can
save a lot of money and time during the construction process. Site managers' job is to keep
track of and maintain work performance, as well as intervene when it falls short of expectations.
In general, site management entails a variety of tasks, including site investigation prior to the
start of the construction process, material delivery and procurement management, better site
records, good site communication and high levels of information flow, regular performance
monitoring, establishing a well-coordinated system among various parts, and good site layout
planning.

Site layout planning is one of the most important tasks of site management. If there is no
effective and systematic approach to site planning, large projects with a high number of
manpower, subcontractors, and equipment may experience significant time and cost overruns.
The management can make significant improvements by minimizing travel time, waiting time,
and increasing worker morale by demonstrating a better and safer work environment through
detailed planning of the site layout and location of temporary facilities. This study focuses on the
problem of site layout planning because of its importance.

There are two main goals that planners should aim to attain by carefully organizing the
construction site. To begin, the site must be designed to maximize operational efficiency in order
to increase worker productivity, reduce project time, and lower costs. Second, the final plan
must create a project with a positive working environment in order to attract and retain top
talent, resulting in improved work quality and productivity.

Well-planned site facilities and utilities increase productivity. Secondly, improves safety.
Thirdly, reduces the amount of temporary construction space required. Next, maximize
utilization.
