<strong>Health risk factor (Building):</strong>
 +
 +
For building, I have 3 main categories. Mainly government, other and population. Under government, there are military camp and fire station. Under other, there are public transport and religious place. Under population, there are residential areas. So, from these 3 categories, I can observe that even though all building has the probability of humans’ activity but some of them have a higher probability. Ranging from population, other and government in descending of humans’ activity. As places like government such as military camp, if there is a disease outbreak the government would stop any army personnel from training.

<strong>Accessibility factor (Road):</strong>
 +
 +
For road, I have only focus on the service road and track which is my target type of road. There is a total of 186 service roads in Gombak which spread widely across the subzone and 2 tracks which is around the southern part of Gombak.

<strong>Natural conservation factor (natural features):</strong>
 +
 +
For natural features, there are 3 main categories which are forest, park, and water in Gombak. There is a total of 1 forest, 4 parks, and 3 water. Forest usage might be for military training located near the military camp on the eastern side of Gombak which is restricted from the resident. 4 parks are located near the residential area for residents of Gombak leisure purpose. 1 water is located in the forest which might be a lake and the rest is one kennel located at the eastern side of Gombak.

<strong>Health risk factor (Building proximity):</strong>
 +
 
 +
To get building proximity in Gombak, I rasterize building and use raster analysis. Nearer to the building the land area is darker and further away from the building it becomes lighter. Thus, the lighter area is more suitable for building a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as there is a lower risk in exposing the residents in Gombak with the disease. The maximum distance of 5m by 5m land area from the map is 200m away from the building with an actual distance of 866.3m.
 +
 
 +
<strong>Accessibility factor (Road proximity):</strong>
 +
 
 +
To get road proximity in Gombak, I use the same method. Nearer to the road the land area is darker and further away from the road it becomes lighter. Thus, the darker area is more suitable for building a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as it is needed to be near a road for easily accessible for transportation. The maximum distance of 5m by 5m land area from the map is 200m away from the road with the actual distance of 772m.
 +
 
 +
<strong>Natural conservation factor (natural features proximity):</strong>
 +
 
 +
To get natural features proximity in Gombak, I repeat the method. Nearer to the natural features the land area is darker and further away from the natural features it becomes lighter. So, the lighter area is more suitable to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as it is needed to be away from forested land, park, and water to minimize the risk of contaminating the resources. The maximum distance 5m by 5m land area from the map is 200m away from the natural features with the actual distance of 864m.

 +
<strong>Economic factor (Slope):</strong>
 +
 
 +
I use slope analysis by inputting elevation to derive slope of Gombak. The legend shows the steepness ranging from 0 to 36.9 with the color from darker to lighter. Thus, the darker area is more suit to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as it has a more gentle slope which requires less cut-and-fill of the land.

The above map shows the study area which is Gombak with the factors that I need to take into account.


S4v1.jpg


Health risk factor (Building):

For building, I have 3 main categories. Mainly government, other and population. Under government, there are military camp and fire station. Under other, there are public transport and religious place. Under population, there are residential areas. So, from these 3 categories, I can observe that even though all building has the probability of humans’ activity but some of them have a higher probability. Ranging from population, other and government in descending of humans’ activity. As places like government such as military camp, if there is a disease outbreak the government would stop any army personnel from training.

Accessibility factor (Road):

For road, I have only focus on the service road and track which is my target type of road. There is a total of 186 service roads in Gombak which spread widely across the subzone and 2 tracks which is around the southern part of Gombak.

Natural conservation factor (natural features):

For natural features, there are 3 main categories which are forest, park, and water in Gombak. There is a total of 1 forest, 4 parks, and 3 water. Forest usage might be for military training located near the military camp on the eastern side of Gombak which is restricted from the resident. 4 parks are located near the residential area for residents of Gombak leisure purpose. 1 water is located in the forest which might be a lake and the rest is one kennel located at the eastern side of Gombak.

Economic factor (Elevation):

For Elevation, I can observe that Gombak is steeper in the Central area which is in blue and the steep become gentle when it nearer to the border of Gombak which is in red.

Proximity


Proxi.jpg


Health risk factor (Building proximity):

To get building proximity in Gombak, I rasterize building and use raster analysis. Nearer to the building the land area is darker and further away from the building it becomes lighter. Thus, the lighter area is more suitable for building a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as there is a lower risk in exposing the residents in Gombak with the disease. The maximum distance of 5m by 5m land area from the map is 200m away from the building with an actual distance of 866.3m.

Accessibility factor (Road proximity):

To get road proximity in Gombak, I use the same method. Nearer to the road the land area is darker and further away from the road it becomes lighter. Thus, the darker area is more suitable for building a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as it is needed to be near a road for easily accessible for transportation. The maximum distance of 5m by 5m land area from the map is 200m away from the road with the actual distance of 772m.

Natural conservation factor (natural features proximity):

To get natural features proximity in Gombak, I repeat the method. Nearer to the natural features the land area is darker and further away from the natural features it becomes lighter. So, the lighter area is more suitable to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as it is needed to be away from forested land, park, and water to minimize the risk of contaminating the resources. The maximum distance 5m by 5m land area from the map is 200m away from the natural features with the actual distance of 864m.

Economic factor (Slope):

I use slope analysis by inputting elevation to derive slope of Gombak. The legend shows the steepness ranging from 0 to 36.9 with the color from darker to lighter. Thus, the darker area is more suit to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre as it has a more gentle slope which requires less cut-and-fill of the land.

Criterion scores


Stand.jpg


For Criterion scores, I use Min-Max to standardise the score for comparison between the factors.


Standy.jpg


Criterion scoring for building:

For building criterion scoring, I use the method that I stated above to standardize the score between 0 and 1. With 0 (red) nearest to the building and 1 (blue) furthest away from the building. Thus, 0.75 (green) ranging from 1 (blue) area is more desired to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre to be away from the population to reduce the spread of disease.

Criterion scoring for road:

For road criterion scoring, I did the same method to standardize the score between 0 and 1. With 0 (red) nearest to the road and 1 (blue) furthest away from the road. Thus, the 0 (red) area is more desired to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre to be easily accessible.

Criterion scoring for natural features:

For nature features criterion scoring, I use the method that I stated above to standardize the score between 0 and 1. With 0 (red) nearest to the natural features and 1 (blue) furthest away from the natural features. Thus, 0.75 (green) ranging from 1 (blue) area is more desired to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre to be away from the natural features to reduce the risk of contaminating the natural features.

Criterion scoring for slope:

For slope criterion scoring, I did the same method to standardize the score between 0 and 1. With 0 (red) as gentle slope and 1 (blue) as steeper slope. Thus, the 0 (red) area is more desired to build a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre to reduce cost when constructing the national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre.

AHP

Appph.jpg

AHP Template were provided by SCB Association found in the Excel-based AHP library. The above table shows my calculation matrix for the priorities.

I have place very strongly more important for Health risk as the main purpose of a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre was to prevent the disease from spreading to those citizens who are healthy. Thus, Health risk have the highest priorities. Next would be, accessibility which priorities range from moderately more important to strongly more important. The reason is that it would be easier when transferring those who are affected to the location with the shortest time possible as to minimize the risk of affecting other citizens and contaminating the Natural conservation. Moving on would be, Natural conservation with Moderately more important as most disease spread by air instead of Natural conservation. Lastly would be, Economic as other have more important than cost.

Area selection

The above screenshot shows the calculation to derive a suitable land area. I have multiple the weight that I got from AHP with the standardize layers respectively to the factors. In addition, I have subtracted the standardize road and slope layer by 1 before multiplying with their weight as the Centre is required to be closer to the road and gentle steep for slope whereas the rest is further the better.
