About

Identifying a location suitable for building a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre whereby it is located at Gombak. The selected area needs to be at least 10,000-meter square and it has to meet the 4 decision factors - economic factor, accessibility factor, health risk factor and natural conservation factor.

Map Layouts

1: Study Area and Target Roads

This gives a rough idea in determining the different areas within Gombak which is highly accessible as the selected site should be close to service roads and tracks. The light green layer refers to the Gombak layer.

2: Study Area and Buildings

This map layout shows where the buildings are located within Gombak. We need to make sure the selected site to build the Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre is far away from the population. When there are buildings, it means the area is densely populated and we should avoid it.

3: Study Area and Target Natural Features

This shows the area within Gombak which are forested, parks or water. Since the selected site needs to be far away from those areas, by looking at this map, we can determine the suitable areas which we can build the quarantine centre by taking the natural conservation factor into consideration.

4 is the map layout showing study area and digital elevation.
