ABSTRACT: Back lane is defined as a rear route that is used as services on a building (Tawil et al., 2013). It is the street between row of shop houses which are commonly under-appreciated by residents and community. It is a wasteful, unattractive, uncomfortable, and inconsistency air-cooled condensers inherently energy inefficient but also create a very hot and noisy environment (Bruelisauer and Berthold, 2015). Furthermore, the existing typologies of shop houses are rigid and only cater the needs of frontal lanes. Even though shop houses are considered as an urban 10
functionality in Malaysia which includes socio-cultural and economic importance (Elnokaly, 2014) but the back lanes of shop houses are not well managed and sometimes a crime space. Thus, creating social problem in the urban area. Therefore, the study gives magnificent on the significance to responsible parties on the development of shop houses and back lanes. This proposed research aspires to explore options on shop houses design. Thus, enhancing the back lanes so it will become more suitable positive uses and greater impact towards the city.
“—and so the alley could once again
become a special world, not so much a place for the discards and helpless but for a wider range of city dwellers. It offers one of the few urban rather than suburban or rural ‘retreats’, an enclave just off the busy street, a step away from the hurly burly.

Thus, back lane is often associated with annoying, disgusting, narrow and dark condition. It is the street between row of houses which are commonly under-appreciated by residents and community. Image Bottom: SHOPHOUSES Typically, shophouse have a stretch narrow frontage with a standard width of building ranged between 4 and 6 meters, and the depth ranged at least 2 to 3 times longer than the width. Shophouse required a masonry party wall between the lot act as a fire protection and generally two or three storey high. The pavement in front of the shop are continuous public covered passage or ‘five-foot way’ for the sake of regulation and providing pedestrians shade from sun and rain.

(act 172) as well as Wilayah Persekutuan Town and Planning Act, 1982 (act 267), back lane is described as a part of a road which meant any public or private road including small road, alley, and roadway which is penetrable or not which public have every right to pass through it.
Back lane is part of the local authority owned where’s public have rights to pass through it and usually maintained by the local authority before authorization of this act transferred to the local authorities Part IV: section 65, it is mentioned that the local authorities can demand a certain amount of land to be part of back lane. Part IV: section 66, it is mentioned that the state authorities can released an order for planning of back lane. Part IV: section 67, it is mentioned that the local authorities have the right to claim the possession cost for the planning or to construct a back lane. Part IV: section 68, it is mentioned that the considered as a public road. Part IV: section 69, it is stated that there would be allotment for back lanes.
Uniform Building by Laws 1984 Building more than 7000 m3 shall abut upon a street or road or open space of not less than 12 m width and accessible to fire brigade appliances. Two or more storey exits are required. The back lane shall be spaced at not less than 5m apart measured between the nearest wall edges. Each exit shall give direct access to a final exit, a protected staircase leading to final exit and an external route leading to a final exit (UBBL 1984, 174).

ABSTRACT: Urban environments which are being surrounded by concrete jungle, reduced vegetation and heat stress adds new health risks to the human psychological. Hence, with the issues being addressed led to the aim, which to design the appropriate Research and Educational Centre in urban setting that could help to mitigate urban heat island and enhance positive psychological effect of its users. Furthermore, the methodology being used in this study are discussion about the benefits of vertical greenery system in the literature reviews and Ecotect 3d simula-
COOL
tion which to study on the thermal comfort which led to improving the psychological effect and wellbeing. Thus, the studies concluded that by implementing Vertical greenery systems which are implemented in building of urban area could indirectly mitigate the urban heat island effect and it also improve the human psychological effect by the reduces of conduction of heat gain and losses through the facade. Keywords: vertical greenery system, positive psychological effect, simulation, horticulture centre

ABSTRACT: Deaf person cannot rely on sound or spoken signals for orientation and wayfinding. Visual elements are therefore important factors in the enhancement of wayfinding information in a building. This study applies Space Syntax techniques – Visibility Graph Analysis (VGA) as a tool to explore the visual relationship and space configuration, which could enhance the wayfinding information of deaf person
for the Proposal of Deafspace Learning Centre at Jalan Raja Abdullah. The study summarize with discussions of the usability of space syntax between wayfinding and space configuration in the Kampung Baru Deafspace Learning Centre.

Deteriorating A Sense Of Place
A Mono-Functional Space
An Unsafe Street
PROBLEMS The past (interviewed) suggested a place with vibrant interactions and participations, now its all been deteriorating.
PROBLEMS Various function are confined to specific geographical areas creating a numbers of precints dominated either by school, retail or housing.
PROBLEMS Majority of all the streets are filled with traffic and making it unsafe for kids to wonder around and plays.
CONSEQUENCES The livelyness of the place is a burden to the area, making each of the school is segmented with each other
CONSEQUENCES The lack of diversity and mix in functions within specific areas has a number of side effect. Generally there are fewer experiences and fewer attraction in each area.
CONSEQUENCES The streets here are turned into sevice corridors for the freeway and generally the public realm is under-developed compared to other part of the city
A Placemaking Programming
A Inclusive And Lively Place
A Safer Street For Kids
Input • Implement shared streets • Eco/social medians to slowed down traffic • Flexible programming throughout the day to activate the space
Input • Ensure an accessible place for all • Encourage and promote activation on laneways • Arrange festivals or programs spurring new initiatives and partnership

Also, the actual sound need not be a continuous frequency sound wave such as a single tone or a musical note, but may be an acoustic wave made from a mechanical vibration, noise or even a single pulse of sound such as a “bang”.

ABSTRACT: This dissertation addresses the broad question of understanding whether and how a combination of the deaf musicians and their rehearsal space in order to identify factors, which contribute to the adaptability and spatial layout efficiency for the deaf ensemble. In addition, research include the 3 objective which firstly are to identify and classify the type of deaf musicians and the factors of the deaf sensing music, the data were then be analyze the relationship between visibility and spatial layout of music rehearsal studio for the deaf ensemble, and finally, based on the findings, the recommendations to enhance the adaptability of rehearsal studio for the deaf musicians are being proposed. Initially, a variety of secondary data collection was conducted to find out the factors they used to ‘listen’ to music and how their listening experience might be enhanced. Information obtained from this data collection were used to guide the initial concept of exploring visibility and vibration in a music rehearsal studio. In order to improve the adaptability of 52
rehearsal studios, comparative studies were used between three chosen spaces to analyze the existing attributes of their spatial layout and by using a Space Syntax as a calculated method, Visibility Graph Analysis had been conducted to validate the overall visual performance of the chosen spaces. In addition, data obtained from the findings were then being translated into a proposed solution of rehearsal space. The proposed solution undergoes the rigorous data analyzing before determining the recommendation to enhance the adaptability of rehearsal studio for the deaf. Therefore, this research work has shown considerable potential in enhancing the visual and touch performance can significantly change the way of rehearsal studio adaptability towards the deaf experience music. Hence, the findings presented here will add to the knowledge of accessibility for the hearing-impaired in a physical environment and decline the misconception of assuming that music can only listen using the ears.
Unfortunately, though, the rights of Deaf people are often overlooked, especially in developing countries. Societal prejudices and barriers prevent Deaf people from enjoying full human rights; for Deaf people the major barrier is lack of recognition, acceptance and use of sign language in all areas of life as well as lack of respect for Deaf people’s cultural and linguistic identity.

Most of the Deaf people do not get any education in developing countries and approximately 80 % of the world’s 70 million Deaf people do not have any access to education. Only about 1-2 % of the Deaf get education in sign language. Particularly situation of Deaf women and children is weak. Legal development and recognition of sign languages promotes Deaf people’s equal participation in the society.
