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.
