'''Roads'''
 
−
In the map, I extracted the local roads, mainly service roads and tracks. We can imply from the map that there are more tracks than service roads.

'''Buildings'''
 
−
In the map, we can see that there are only a few buildings that is located in the southern east side of Gombak. Most buildings are clustered in the northern and west area of Gombak. The buildings are generally clustered together whenever one building is seen in that area. This shows that the Quarantine centre can possibly be located near the southern side of Gombak as there are lesser buildings in that area.

'''Natural features'''
 
−
In the map, we can see that the parks are general at the sides of Gombak area. There is a line of water, located in the east of Gombak which might possibly be a canel or river. This means that the east of Gombak might not be a suitable location for the Quarantine centre.

'''Slope/Elevation'''
 
−
In this area, I used 5 classes to show the elevation. Red showing the highest value, which means that red area has a steeper slope and blue area implies lower or no slope.

Motivation of this Take Home Exercise

Motivation of this exercise is to identify a location suitable for building a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre with the following decision factors:

  • Selected site must be located at Gombak planning subzone, with a contiguous area of at least 10,000m2
  • Economic factor: The selected site should avoid steep slope to reduce higher development cost.
  • Accessibility factor: The selected site should be close to service roads and tracks to ensure easy transportation of building materials during the construction stage.
  • Health risk factor: The selected site should be away from population i.e. housing areas and offices in order to avoid disease spreading to the nearby population.
  • Natural conservation factor: The selected site should be away from forested land, park and water.
