SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH UNDULATING SITE CONTOUR The gentle slopes are rather easy to incorporate into a design compared to steep slopes less prone to landslides provides different views at different levels while progressing through site
VIEWS Site is placed strategically with many beautiful panoramic viewpoints View of Gunung Jerai Surrounded by natural environment
SOUNDS Echoing of the stream Call of the birds Rustling of leaves Howling of the wind
WEAKNESS LACK OF SIGNAGE Visitors usually miss the candis when visiting the existing museum Prone to getting lost and not knowing where to go without a guide
LACK OF DRAMATIC ELEMENT OF PATH LEADING TO CANDI Unwelcoming and causes uncertainty in visitors, whether they are in fact allowed to proceed beyond the staircase Fails to create a feeling of anticipation
INEFFECTIVE LAYOUT Without a guide, visitors would not know which way to proceed and are at risk of missing certain exhibits because they are not indicated in any way The exhibits are too far apart and there is nothing between them to engage the user’s interest
TREATMENT PLANT Unsightly Smelly Disrupts the experience
OPPORTUNITIES WK - LACK OF SIGNAGE  Through planning a circulation that clearly indicates the direction in which the visitor should take, or certain structures that mark where exhibits are depending on the concept and design
WK - LACK OF DRAMATIC ELEMENT OF PATH LEADING TO CANDI Addition of structure, or manipulation of the contour to create a dramatic element to incite a variety of feelings suiting to one’s design or concept
WK - INEFFECTIVE LAYOUT The fact that exhibits being too far apart can be used to an advantage by adding items along the way to retain the user’s interest, for example, minor exhibits placed on pathways leading to major exhibits which also serves to guide them in the right direction while they are exploring Or perhaps at the very least, some interesting landscaping or shading devices could be provided for pathways between major exhibits to retain visitor interest
STR - UNDULATING SITE CONTOUR and VIEWS  Manipulation of the site contour and its already present views, one may create a different experience and view while the user to progresses throughout the site due to the gradual elevation of the contour. The panoramic views are also a strong plus point to be exploited
STR – SOUNDS The all natural setting provides calming and natural sounds which creates a tranquil atmosphere by default that can be implemented into one’s design
THREATS PRESENCE OF VERMIN  Through observation, there was no anti vermin net observed which may result in animals entering the site or VIC
LANDSLIDE  Though the risk of a landslide is minimal, due to the low gradient of the slope of the undulating site, it is still there and is possible due to soil erosion witnessed on site
SECURITY ISSUES  When on site, only one guardhouse was detected, at the front gate, and there seemed to be no guard inside. The area near the candis were not guarded at all, and there was no fence protecting the area from any intruders, which may be a potential threat
