WHY ARE WE DOING THIS PROJECT? THIS PROJECT IS TO REFLECT ON THE CURRENT ISSUE (HOMELESSNESS IN MALAYSIA), THE DESIGN, HOWEVER, NEEDS TO BE HOSPITABLE TO THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY BESIDES BEING SITE-SPECIFIC AND CONSIDERATE TO THE MALAYSIAN ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE.
PERCENTAGE AND STATISTICAL CALCULATION OF THE HOMELESS IN KUALA LUMPUR
A COUNT BY DBKL CONDUCTED IN MAY 2017, IDENTIFIED 1037 HOMELESS PEOPLE INCLUDING 15 CHILDREN IN 15 KEY HOT SPOT ZONE. AROUND 90% OF THE COUNTED HOMELESS WERE MALE.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAILS OF HOMELESS IN KUALA LUMPUR Accurate figures for homelessness are difficult to come by. Data collected year by year to show the average demographic among this year.
2010 In 2010, the Social Welfare Department conducted a survey on the street-dwelling homeless persons of Kuala Lumpur and found that 1,387 individuals were experiencing homelessness at that point in time. The key findings were as follows:
According to Figure 1 above, men are overrepresented in the homeless community (85%). So are senior citizens (60 years and older) who make up 22% of the survey’s participants but only comprise 5.1% of the population 65 and above in 2010.
Homeless Profile in Kuala Lumpur according to age and gender
Homeless persons in the heart of KL can be seen at places such as the Puduraya bus terminal, the Dayabumi complex, Petaling Street, Central Market, Klang Bus Stand, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Chow Kit. Some even live underneath bridges, as they provide some degree of shelter away from the public and enforcement authorities. Several populated areas are at the bridge beside Central Market, under the Syed Putra roundabout, the Jalan Kinabalu Roundabout and below the bridges along Jalan Istana and Brickfields.
There are a variety of reasons as to why the homeless in KL tend to congregate in these areas. known as ‘safer’ areas where the homeless can congregate without being disturbed (apart from during the Ops Gelandangan to round them up). also security in numbers as well as social networks which develop over time. close to where some of the homeless have access to part time jobs. The fact that soup kitchens and other volunteer groups give food and other types of aid to the homeless in these usual locations may also contribute to the congregation effect among the homeless in these areas.
Kuala Lumpur Sentral
The ‘grouping’ of the homeless in specific areas may not necessarily be a negative phenomenon since it makes it easier to coordinate between those wanting to seek help (the homeless) and those wanting to offer help (soup kitchens, other volunteer NGOs, government departments, just to name a few). Of course, some of the authorities may find a large number of homeless gathering at a few places to be an ‘eyesore’ in the city of Kuala Lumpur.
2016 The most recent figures to date come from a study conducted in February 2016 by the Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL), which reports that the number of homeless people in the city range from 1,500-2,000 As of 2016, Kuala Lumpur has an estimated population of 1.79 million people across an area of 243 square kilometres. The percentage of homeless people may therefore seem inconsequential in comparison. However, it is important to note that the figures of homeless persons have tripled since 2014, where it was at 600, and will likely increase unless measures are taken to help the homeless. Though this may hold true for a small percentage of homeless people, not all of them suffer from substance abuse, as addiction is only one of the many contributing factors that can lead to homelessness. In fact, previous JKM findings based on a survey of 1,387 homeless people in Kuala Lumpur showed that only 4.8% were drug abusers.
2017 A count by DBKL conducted in May 2017, identified 1037 homeless people including 15 children in 15 key hot spot zones. Around 90% of the counted homeless were male. In comparison to men, when women become destitute, they are more likely to return to family members or seek other types of shelter such as boarding houses are they are perceived safer than sleeping rough. DBKL Homeless people count in 15 Kuala Lumpur hot spot zones in 2017

Distribution of homeless people along major roads
Homeless sub population by neighbourhood in downtown Kuala Lumpur A larger proportion of women with children seem to use these in the Chow Kit area consuming a large portion of their income for very small cubicles often unsuitable and unsafe for inhabitation. It seems that even when offered alternative accommodation, people prefer to stay where their support networks, services and some employment are.

2019 The existence of homeless population has been on the rise, along with the development of this country. Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL) recently reported that at least one to two thousands homeless people were at the Kuala Lumpur City Center

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
The UV Index of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia can be seen relatively high throughout the year.
WIND
The usual temperatures that are forecasted by Weather Atlas. Malaysia is situated at the equator of the planet which we do expect all year round heat throughout. This is also accompanied by the humidity that would be present on site. The average humidity of Kuala Lumpur in general is about 74-82%RH (Relative Humidity) due to the dispersion of heat throughout as shown above.
