Gombak Study Area with Proximity Map of:
- Roads (Top Left)
- Buildings (Top Right)
- Natural Features (Bottom Left)
- Slope (Bottom Right)
|
Apart from the Slope Layer (Bottom Right), the proximity views for roads, buildings and natural features were digitized showing the proximity range from 0 metres to 200 metres. This provides us uniformity across these views as well as clearer insights of how these features might affect the site selection for the CDQC in Gombak.
|
| From the Proximity Map for Roads View (Top Left), the proximity of the roads seem to span across majority of the Gombak area, indicating that most of the areas in Gombak are accessible within 200 metres of its service roads and tracks. However, there are areas digitized in black, indicating that these roads are not accessible within 200 metres of these roads, in which these areas are less likely to be considered for the suitable site for the building of the CDQC in terms of Accessibility.
|
| From the Proximity Map for Buildings View (Top Right), the proximity of the buildings seem to span across the North and Central region of the Gombak area, indicating that most of the population in Gombak are situated in these regions. Therefore, we would consider the areas digitized in black for this map view, where these areas are at least 200 metres away from such buildings, thus these areas being more likely considered for the suitable site for building the CQDC in terms of Health Risk.
|
| From the Proximity Map for Natural Features View (Bottom Left), the proximity of the natural features seem to occupy most of the regions across the Gombak area less the South region, indicating that the natural features would less likely affect the limitation of the choice of the suitable site for the building of the CQDC if it is within the Southern region of Gombak. Therefore, we would consider the Southern areas digitized in black for this map view, where these areas are at least 200 metres away from the natural features, thus these areas being more likely considered for the suitable site for building the CQDC in terms of Natural Conservation.
|
| From the Slope Layer (Bottom Right), similar to the Digital Elevation - Contour Lines Map View, the degree of the land terrain of Gombak tends to increase when progressing from the North region to the South region of Gombak, in which Gombak Hill is within that proximity. From this, it is in our best interests that we do not consider the Southern areas of Gombak with high slope degrees for the suitable site for building the CQDC in terms of Economic.
