STRENGTH
- Natural green surroundings.
- Fresh environment to enjoy the greeny scenery. WEAKNESS
- The lack of railings for the staircase can potentially cause someone to fall off and into
the drain
- The grass areas in between the benches are not properly maintained
![Page 51: Amphitheatre](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a67791a28abc3438b6e23/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
OPPORTUNITIES
- Add railings to each set of stairs
- Proper maintenance of grass to prevent overgrowing THREATS
- Placement of side platforms prevent the addition of railings as it would make it harder to get to other sections of the amphitheatre
![Page 52: Amphitheatre](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a67791a28abc3438b6e23/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

LIGHT INTENSITY
- Sunlight is most intense along the road, being sheltered only at certain times of the day from overhanging branches of trees along the road
- The amphitheatre receives sunlight of a medium intensity as it is surrounded by canopy trees which provides shade at various points throughout the day
- Several trees within the amphitheatre itself provide shelter throughout the day depending on the direction of sunlight
![Page 55: Amphitheatre](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a67791a28abc3438b6e23/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
SHADED AREAS
- Most shaded areas are those areas which inaccessible because those areas are covered by bushes and lots of trees.
- Few trees are planted at the side along the trail, and only some part of the trail is covered by the tree branches

WIND DISTRIBUTION- Elevation of the area affects the hot & cold
wind. - Lower area of the amphitheatre experiences
hotter wind and air as compared to the top portion of the amphitheatre. HUMIDITY
- Descending the amphitheatre, the humidity level increases.
- The charts below displays the average relative humidity of Peninsular Malaysia.

WIND DISTRIBUTION- Wind flow & speed around the area is
affected mainly by the amount of trees in the area.
- Dense trees around the amphitheatre area reduced the wind speed dramatically. Adding on with the hotter wind this gives an unpleasant feeling to visitors
![Page 58: Amphitheatre](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a67791a28abc3438b6e23/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
RAINFALL - Rain direction depends on the wind
direction.- Gazebo provides shade (1)- Amphitheatre has minimum to no
shade
WATERFLOW- Surface of the road isn’t curved
causing only some of the rain to flow into the culvert. (2)
- The steps causes the rain to flow downwards.(3)
- Drains that catches water under the steps.

POTENTIAL NATURAL DISASTERS- Soil erosions-#1 on list of PND in Malaysia (62.5%) based on surveys from 1990-2014.-#1 on average annual loss in Malaysia (98.7%)-Very small drains.-Flash floods from heavy rains will cause overflow of water; leading to soil erosions and landslides.-Damages existing flora and fauna.
- Forest fires-March 2016- 8914 cases nationwide.-April 2016- 1708 forest fires recorded in Malaysia. In 10 days, the number increased to almost 3000. -Flammable material/dry vegetation + weather conditions -Damages existing structures, flora and fauna.
