1.0 INTRODUCTION

INCEPTION REPORT: DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL AND AUDIT

As for what is there in our national context, there is no legal provision or acts that requires the assessment and evaluation by the local authority towards any progressing development. However, despite the absence of the legal requirements for any development to be appraised, development appraisal is indeed important to achieve a desirable and livable townships. The process of appraising developments can be done through auditing the completed and existing buildings with the current development plans, policies and guidelines. For this project, a mature township located in Kuala Lumpur rich with historical and heritage values has been chosen as the study area. The specifies township mentioned is Kampung Datuk Keramat and this report aimed to explain the workflow and approaches used in data collection before analyzing for the site study analysis. This preliminary report describes and listed all the data that are required for physical study, social study, transportation and traffic study and finally, environmental study. The data that are required are obtained from both primary and secondary data, then analysed into data analysis before deciding on how the output would be. This report also contains references on developmental plans, policies and guidelines relating to each sectoral study and narrowed down to match the study area’s context.

2.0 CASE STUDY: KG. DATUK KERAMAT

INCEPTION REPORT: DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL AND AUDIT

2.1 PROFILE OF STUDY AREA Kampung Datuk Keramat is 220 acres (89.03 hectares) is a large zone in the Titiwangsa constituency, falling within the boundary of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is located northeast of downtown Kuala Lumpur and borders the district of Ampang in Selangor. The Klang River runs roughly from northeast to the west and acts as a natural divider of Keramat and Ampang. Kg. Datuk Keramat has traditionally been a Malay majority area, being a Malay reserve area. It is mainly consisted of low rise and high-rise residential and completed with commercial lots, public facilities, infrastructure and green area. the notable high-end condominium there for example are the Chimes Gurney Residence and Gurney Heights Condominium. Among the landmarks in Kg Datuk Keramat are the only shopping center which is Keramat Mall. This mall however failed to served its purposes. In 2014, a mini Urban Transformation Center (UTC) has been located in the Keramat Mall. Unfortunately, it has been shut down due to the political reason. There is another one prominent landmark in this Kg. Datuk Keramat which is Pasar Basah Datuk Keramat. This wet market is said to be the oldest one in Kuala Lumpur as this market has been operated for about 40 years now with 330 hawkers. However, in the recent news, the wet market is on its way to be relocated to a new place. Hence, reducing the congestion in the existing area. Kg. Datuk Keramat is served by three light rail transit stations as part of the Kelana Jaya Line. The three stations are Jelatek, Dato' Keramat and Damai. Kg Datuk Keramat can also be easily accessed via some of the main road which are Jalan Tun Razak and the AKLEH highway.

DESCRIPTION Thrust 1: Dynamic Urban and Rural Growth

DG 2.1:

DG 2.1 A: - Developing rural settlements based on the economic potentials of rural areas - Rural development will exploit the economic potential and existing resources to promote specialisation and complementarity between rural and urban settlements. Rural economic activities will focus on resource-based development or a rural settlement’s unique features and strengths. Public investment and infrastructure will be provided to support resource, handicraft, rural tourism and downstream agricultural and forestry activities. The homestay programme has great potential to be expanded to generate income and employment for rural communities.

Exploiting local resources

Thrust 2: Spatial Sustainability and Resilience to climate change SR 1.1:

Improving preservation and conservation of National Ecological Assets

SR 1.1 A: - Gazetting threatened habitats as protected areas - Existing protected areas do not fully encapsulate the country’s ecological ecosystem, as there are critical habitats that need to be immediately gazetted as protected areas. These important habitats need to be protected from - threats of surrounding land development and impacts of climate change, which weaken their ability to provide ecosystem services to humans and resulting in habitat loss for many endangered animal or plant species. This justifies the need to gazette these critical terrestrial and marine habitats as part of preservation and conservation efforts. Continue…

INCEPTION REPORT: DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL AND AUDIT SR 1.1 B: - Encouraging community involvement in conservation efforts - Communities living in interior areas have a close and very dependent relationship with natural resources such as forest products and water resources. These communities have an important indirect role in helping the preservation, conservation and protection of natural habitats. In the Indigenous Community Conserved Areas - (ICCA) approach, which is adopted around the world, local communities are given the responsibility to manage natural habitats in accordance with the management system of their respective community. SR 2.4:

Managing integrated rural development

SR 2.4 A: - Preserving rural identity and character through environment - Rural areas have a variety of important resources and environmental assets that should be preserved. Rural areas, with their quiet and peaceful surroundings, also offer a better quality of life than urban areas. The areas identity and character, reflected in their cultural, heritage and agricultural activities as well as landscape, should be preserved to ensure that rural development is aligned with the urban economy. SR 2.4 B: - Promoting and preserving rural areas with potential to be developed as tourist areas - Natural resources such as agricultural areas, national parks, mangroves and forest reserves as well as rural culture and heritage have potential to be developed for tourism. Such areas need to be preserved because they can help boost rural development and indirectly create a special rural character. One measure that could be implemented is the creation of rural settlements using the homestay concept. Source: National Physical Plan 3

- The scarcity of land availability in Kuala Lumpur requires that future developments to be more focused on undeveloped areas. - However, not all of these undeveloped land are suitable for development due to physical constraints such as high-risk slopes. In addition, limited land area with irregular shapes also makes it uneconomical to develop. After considering the above factors, land suitable for development is left at 1.28% only.

EC 6 DBKL shall encourage and facilitate the development of cultural and entertainment facilities.

• Culture and entertainment not only help to make an attractive living environment but can also be developed as important economic goods. • Kuala Lumpur continues to serve as the principal cultural and entertainment centre where the best restaurants, nightclubs, theatres, concert halls and art galleries are located. • To make Kuala Lumpur an international centre for culture and arts entertainment, it is pertinent to build upon its multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural character in line with the National Cultural Policy.

EC 10 DBKL shall implement measures to attract more people to live in the City Centre.

There is a need to increase the residential population of the City Centre not only to optimise the infrastructural investment, but also with a view to making the City Centre a more vibrant and dynamic place which can attract local and international businesses.

EC 11 DBKL shall take into consideration the needs of the teenager, youth and aged population in all aspects of planning and development.

The increase in the population of the teenager, youth and aged and the growth of expectations for a better standard of living require that greater attention be given to the needs of the teenager, youth and aged in terms of the quality and range of accommodation and other facilities.

CO 3 DBKL shall permit K-Economy activities in residential premises.

• The technologies associated with the K-Economy allow economic activities to operate in residential premises. This trend of operation benefits individuals as well as business and administrative bodies as operational overheads and travel demand is lower. • The present planning control regulations do not permit residential premises to be used for nonresidential activities. In order to allow K-Economy activities in residential premises, planning control guidelines and regulations shall be prepared. The K-Economy activities do not cause nuisance and pressure on the City infrastructure. The activities shall be carried out by occupiers involving the use of ICT and without additional workers.

CO 4 DBKL shall ensure that the enabling infrastructure is adequately provided so that Kuala Lumpur may attain the status of an international commercial and financial centre.

An essential part of the enabling infrastructure is the plentiful supply of office buildings which are fully equipped with the latest technologies and ICT infrastructure. Planning control guidelines will be implemented with regards to the integration of ICT infrastructure into new office and hotel developments. Refurbishment of existing commercial buildings to incorporate ICT infrastructure will be encouraged. Source: Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020

DESCRIPTION

HO 1 CHKL shall encourage responsible parties in the housing sector to develop good quality housing and living environments.

Good quality housing is a combination of many aspects of housing development. Design and layout, environmental responsiveness, the quality of workmanship and materials, the provision of utilities and facilities, landscaping, maintenance and upgrading, all play a part in the total housing environment. CHKL shall encourage and work with the private sector to raise overall standards of housing in all of these areas so as to produce housing of the highest quality.

HO 2 CHKL shall encourage the private sector to develop a wider choice of innovative housing.

The private sector shall be encouraged to investigate new forms of housing which can offer a wider choice of lifestyle. Entirely new concepts or hybrids could be developed that combine the attractions of different existing housing types.

HO 3 CHKL shall, together with responsible parties in the housing sector, develop and implement measures to upgrade the quality of existing old housing stock.

Building owners and management corporations shall be educated in the benefits of regular maintenance and upgrading schedules. In the older housing areas which have fallen into disrepair, measures need to be initiated to upgrade them to acceptable standards.

HO 4 CHKL shall implement measures to ensure that all private flatted housing estates are properly maintained according to the minimum required standards.

Where necessary, CHKL shall implement additional measures to improve the condition and external appearance of private flatted housing estates that do not meet minimum required standards.

HO 12 CHKL shall ensure that there is sufficient affordable housing available to meet the needs of the population.

The decision as to whether to live inside or outside the City boundary should be one of choice rather than necessity resulting from a shortage of appropriate housing. It remains, therefore, CHKL’s basic responsibility to ensure that there is an adequate mix of housing that meets the needs of its population and is commensurate with the City’s population income distribution.

HO 13 CHKL shall encourage the building of lowmedium and medium cost houses. HO 14 CHKL shall give priority to the tenants of public housing to purchase low medium cost houses.

CHKL shall take appropriate measures so that more low-medium and medium cost housing units are provided. Based on the 2002 current housing cost, the low-medium cost housing is defined as houses costing not more than RM85,000 per unit while the medium cost houses is not more than RM150,000 per unit. Both categories of houses are expected to achieve 30 percent of the total future housing needs. The private sector is encouraged to build low-medium and medium cost houses by providing incentives such as allowing high-density development in areas close to transit terminals.

DESCRIPTION

SA 1 CHKL shall set up a dedicated body to initiate and co-ordinate the planning, development and management of Malay Reservation Areas and traditional kampungs.

The difficulties in development process faced by the Special Areas cannot be resolved by merely proposing specific developments or attempting to resolve specific issues. These development difficulties related to legal, physical and financial, require effective coordination and promotion which need to be undertaken by a dedicated body. This dedicated body is responsible for the planning, development and management of Malay Reservation Areas and traditional kampungs. This body shall coordinate public and private sectors’ initiatives.

SA 2 CHKL shall promote the setting up of community corporations by appropriate groups, involving landowners and residents, to develop the new villages.

The creation of Development Corporations involving landowners and residents of new villages, to carry out improvements to infrastructure and facilities as well as to initiate and manage new development, will be encouraged.

SA 3 CHKL shall implement comprehensive development plans for Malay Reservation Areas, traditional kampungs and new villages.

Development constraints are interlinked, and most specific issues cannot be resolved in isolation. For example, the upgrading of infrastructure to improve living conditions is constrained by the difficulty of enlarging utility reserves because of the small lot sizes. It follows that the improvement of conditions in the MRAs, traditional kampungs and new villages cannot be achieved by piecemeal development but only through the implementation of comprehensive plans for redevelopment. Comprehensive development plans setting out the overall framework for development must be prepared. Of immediate concern will be the improvement of living standards through the upgrading of infrastructure and provision of community facilities.

SA 4 CHKL shall implement measures to accelerate development and upgrade living standards in Malay Reservation Areas, traditional kampungs and new villages.

POLICIES

DESCRIPTION

CF 1 CHKL shall implement the new planning standards for the provision of community facilities and review the same on a regular basis.

New planning standards have been prepared to supersede those of the KLSP 1984 to meet the future needs of the City. These standards take into consideration the national planning standards. The planning standards cover the need of public community facilities, open spaces, recreation and sports, education, health, safety and emergency, religious and cemetery land. These standards should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the changes of social needs.

CF 2 CHKL shall, in consultation with the appropriate authorities and agencies ensure that community facilities are adequately planned and provided for in accordance with the new planning standards. CF 3 CHKL shall ensure that all government land are used for government or public facility purposes. CF 4 CHKL shall encourage the innovative design of community facilities to optimize available land.

Due to the limited availability of land, innovative designs for community facilities that optimize land use will be encouraged. Facilities can be incorporated into mixed-use development or amalgamated together to form larger complexes which can become focal points for the communities they serve.

CF 5 CHKL shall, in consultation with the appropriate authorities, ensure that all community facilities and services are adequately distributed according to the needs of the population, and that they are conveniently accessibleto all members of the public.

In the interests of optimizing resources and ensuring social harmony, it is important that there is an equitable distribution of facilities throughout Kuala Lumpur according to the needs of the population. Adequacy of provision should not only be related to a greater number of more widely distributed facilities. Larger and better-equipped facilities, which are conveniently accessible to a wider catchment area by public transport, would, in many cases, be of more benefit to the community. This approach, which complements the transit-oriented planning strategy, would apply to public community facilities such as community centres, markets and libraries; sports and recreational facilities and public health facilities such as polyclinics, maternity and children’s clinics and dental clinics. Accessibility to existing community facilities such as the major cultural buildings in the City Centre that cannot be relocated must be improved.

CF 6 CHKL shall, in consultation with the appropriate agencies, ensure that there is adequate provision of community and cultural facilities to fulfill its national obligations.

Kuala Lumpur, in its capacity as the capital city of the nation has the responsibility of facilitating the provision of certain community facilities that serve the nation as a whole. This is particularly relevant in the case of major cultural, educational and sports facilities. Continue…

INCEPTION REPORT: DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL AND AUDIT CF 7 Community facilities provided by CHKL are to be designed and constructed to a high level of quality of provision and the facilities provided shall commensurate with the best achievable standards.

The public has become increasingly sophisticated and demanding of a higher quality of provision of community facilities. CHKL must meet these aspirations and aim to provide facilities that are of a standard comparable to other world-class cities.

CF 8 CHKL shall ensure that new and existing community facilities for which it is responsible are properly maintained at all times.

Maintenance strategies and programs need to be reviewed to be more pro-active so as to ensure that community facilities remain in the best possible condition at all times.

CF 9 CHKL shall encourage the provision of diverse community facilities by private sector as an investment alternative.

In addition to the provision of community facilities by the public sector, private sector can take opportunities as an investment alternative in provision of various types of high-quality community facilities. This investment alternative in social infrastructure development offers diverse choice of facilities and business and employment opportunities. The potential investment alternatives in the provision of facilities includes day care centers for the specific groups such as the elderly and eco-based resorts for health rehabilitation and beauty health farms.

Regulating Incompatible Land Use and Activities

- KLCP 2020 provides framework for which future use of land within Kuala Lumpur will be managed and guided with greater transparency and certainty. Land Use Zoning Map that forms part of this Plan exhibits how the City’s land use structure and pattern will be. This pattern reflects physical and spatial direction which aims to facilitate economic activities and growth of the City whilst safeguarding the community interests. - One of the major concerns for Kuala Lumpur is the presence of large numbers of incompatible activities and industries, which are located in unplanned industrial sites, residential areas, commercial precincts and on government land. These have created nuisance to adjoining land and residential neighbourhoods, unsightly physical environment of commercial centres and uncontrolled discharges of effluents into drainage system. - In order to realise the City’s vision for a world class urban environment, it is important therefore that the activities be regulated properly. Measures within the KLCP 2020 include designating industrial parks where clean, modern and compatible industrial activities are encouraged. Continue…

DESCRIPTION

EN 4 DBKL shall ensure the landscaping of rivers and the rehabilitation of ex-mining lands. EN 5 DBKL shall initiate an appropriate strategy for integrating the major rivers and abandoned mining ponds as an amenity and feature of the City’s urban design.

Strategies need to be formulated to Incorporate the rivers and ex-mining ponds into the environmental amenity of the city through landscaping and other improvement measures.

EN 8 DBKL shall, in co-operation with the sewerage concessionaire, ensure that there shall be no further discharge of untreated domestic wastewater into the rivers and drainage system.

An essential prerequisite for improving the water quality of the rivers is to ensure that all wastewater from local sewers is properly treated before being discharged into the river and drainage system.

EN 9 DBKL shall investigate the feasibility of new approaches to increase oxygenation, aeration and water quality of the City’s rivers to support aquatic life in rivers.

The squatter resettlement programs will help to improve water quality by eliminating a major source of pollution. However, alternative methods of cleaning up the City’s waterways by adopting advanced but cost-effective technologies should be investigated. Such methods could include the use of cascades to increase oxygenation and aeration of the rivers and improve their capacity to support aquatic life.

EN 10 DBKL shall re-activate the rehabilitation program of Sungai Klang and Sungai Gombak.

DBKL shall continue to cooperate with the Federal Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) in maintaining the flow capacity of the rivers and ensuring that there is no clogging. The feasibility of constructing gross suspended solid traps upstream and at other strategic locations to collect waste and reduce clogging should be investigated to provide more effective long-term measures to prevent flooding.

EN 11 DBKL shall not approve development involving permanent structures in river reserves.

The existing flow capacity of the rivers must not be allowed to be reduced any further by the construction of permanent structures in the river reserves.

EN 14 DBKL shall ensure the provision of adequate landscaped buffer areas between highways and other built-up areas.

Reducing the amount of road traffic has a direct effect on reducing air pollution. Transportation policies, therefore, that promote the use of public transport over private transport not only assist in traffic demand management, but also reduce air pollution. Other programs to reduce the effects of pollution from vehicles will be implemented such as the building of natural and man-made buffers alongside roads using dense tree planting, hedges and bunds as dust traps.

EN 15 DBKL shall, in co-operation with the Department of Environment, undertake measures to reduce air pollution in the City.

The Department of the Environment is responsible for enforcement measures related to air pollution and it will be necessary for DBKL to coordinate closely with the department in order to reduce air pollution. Source: Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020

7.0 MARKET STUDY 7.1

INTRODUCTION

Market study aims to understand, describe and project the interactivity of supply and demand for properties in the existing marketplace. The actual or planned supply is defined as the property being offered in the marketplace. The actual demand is the buying choices or patterns of the consumers, meanwhile, the potential demand is the desire of the consumers for new products. Through market study, issues regarding property marketplace such as mismatch of supply and demand and overhang properties can be identified. Market study is both economical and behavioral analysis. The economic analysis involves quantitative measurement of supply, demand, pricing and benchmarking or competing. Meanwhile, behavioral analysis determines the consumers’ preferences in purchasing property products. Real estate is fixed, and it is not adaptable to changing preferences of consumers, what was once the most popular alternative can go into decline when there is the new trend of alternative, behavioral of the consumers is also attributable to demographic and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, market study is important to get into insights of the current market activity, competitor, on going market trend, demographic and the pattern of consumers’ transaction on the property.
