S W O TVast and spacious
Has both open spaces
and dense mangrove
Has limitless amount of
water (cleanliness in
question)
S W O TExtremely disgusting smell
Small diversity of flora
and fauna
Barren
S W O TClear view of the Straits
of Malacca
Mangrove forms a
natural barricade, good
for development
Calm shores, aids in
development
S W O THigh and low tide might
affect buildings
High chance of affecting the habitat if heavy
development is undertaken

SUN PATH
ADJUSTING TO SUN
LIGHT INTENSITY
These areas have a high concentration of UV rays,
which, though beneficial to the human body in short amounts, can cause skin
cancer in prolonged exposures.
SHADED AREAS
These shaded areas provide a refuge from the sunlight, and
thus are shown to have a noticeably lower temperature than its surroundings; around
2-3 degrees Celsius difference.

LAND BREEZE
TIDES (4:15PM)
The tides wax and wane due to the pull of the moon’s
gravity. The speed of both incoming and outgoing tides
are the same: 0.023m/s.
This can be dangerous for those trapped by the rising tide. Currents brought in by the tide have been known to pull unsuspecting victims
into the sea.
Drownings have occurred in this area.
TIDES (4:47PM)
The tides wax and wane due to the pull of the moon’s
gravity. The speed of both incoming and outgoing tides
are the same: 0.023m/s.
This can be dangerous for those trapped by the rising tide. Currents brought in by the tide have been known to pull unsuspecting victims
into the sea.
Drownings have occurred in this area.
TIDES (5:27PM)
TIDES (6:40PM)
TIDES (8:15PM)
Tides come and go every 6 hours, starting at 12AM
midnight.
At the start of each 6 hour cycle, the tide rises at a rate
of 0.023m/s, engulfing the cape. It then maintains its
present depth until the end of its 6-hour cycle, when it then recedes at the same
rate: 0.02m/s
RAINFALL
HUMIDITY
At 100% humidity, the air has reached its saturation point and could no longer hold
any more moisture.
The air will feel heavier, and people will sweat more.
Generally it is an unpleasant experience.
TEMPERATURE
TEMPERATURE VARIANCE BY HEIGHT
As the altitude increases, the
temperature decreases
noticeably due to lack of
radiation being reflected
from the ground.
Generally it is more
comfortable to build high.
SOIL CONDITION
SOIL CONDITION
This graph demonstrates the
characteristics of the soil, with different
diameters of particulate
demonstrating different behaviours.
Sedimentation is the tendency for
particles in suspension to settle out of
the fluid in which they are entrained,
and come to rest against a barrier.
Transportation is the displacement of
particles in a medium to another
location which is then deposited.
Erosion of soil occurs due to the
displacement of particles from its
parent medium.
S W O TSea breeze makes it
cooling during the day.
Safe site due to weak
tides and waves.
S W O THigh exposure of UV rays
due to sunlight.
Insulation difficulties due
to temperature
differences.
Soft and weak soil
condition.
S W O TPotential for solar energy
exploitation.
Potential for beach
activities.
S W O THaze due to wind
blowing from Indonesia during the South-west
Monsoon.
Contamination and pollution from littering and poor drainage.
Building corrosion due to high salt content in air.
Erosion and major settlement issues due to
soil condition.

M A C R O
HAZARDS SOLUTION:
Hire security guard and lifeguard services
Maintain cleanliness of beach
Impose fines on litterbugs.
Erect a notice board.
AVERAGE DAILY HUMAN DENSITYTends to stay near the
beach.
Most of the visitors gather under the shaded trees.
More crowded to the North-east, as that side
has more complete facilities.
South-west is commonly occupied by snail
hunters.
PARKING SITUATION STRENGTHS:
Avoids congestion on main roads and
driveways.
WEAKNESSES:
Insufficient parking bays during public holidays.
THREATS:
The size of the parking bays are too small.
OPPORTUNITY:
Increase size and quantity of bays.

PNB ILHAM RESORT
TRAFFIC INGRESS/EGRESS STRENGTHS:

Lacking streetlights
THREATS:
Accident-prone area
OPPORTUNITY:
Increase street lighting

HUMAN CIRCULATION TO BEACH(FROM RESORT)
STRENGTHS:
Various access points.
WEAKNESSES:
Poor security.
THREATS:
Not wide enough doors/entrance to way
to beach.
OPPORTUNITY:
Indication of direction to beach and which beach
(sign boards)
SNAILHUNTER CIRCULATION SPEED
They are move active on the mangrove area.
Access through open car park.
Slowest speed.
GROUP CIRCULATION SPEEDTeam building activities on the South-west side.
Water sports on North-east side.
INVIDUAL CIRCULATION SPEEDWalk along the beach.
Wouldn’t access further
away form the shore.
Fastest circulation speed.
BOAT EGRESS/INGRESSSTRENGTHS:
Boats are congested during docking and
egress.
THREATS:
Ramp is not well maintained, boat
docking stations poorly indicated.
OPPORTUNITY:
Maintain external beach interfaces, specific to the public or private sector.
PROPOSED CIRCULATION PATH IMPROVEMENT
STRENGTHS:
Amazing ambiance, views and experience
Interaction with wildlife
WEAKNESSES:
Path is unsafe due to forest and rubbish
Divergent pathways
No clear indications
OPPORTUNITY:
Create a “natural” deck
leading to main zone
A proper pathway leading to entrance from
hotel.
Creates sense of adventure.
BIRD MIGRATION PATTERN
Birds migrate once a year towards the north, from early March to early April.

S W O TBoth swamp and beach
available for
comparisons and
ecological studies
Wide view area
A large area of shallow
waters and sand
available during low tide
Different stages of
mangrove growth can
be observed and
appreciated.
S W O TSwamp area hardly
accessible due to muddy
waters
Rubbish can be found on
the beach
Broken drainage
structures which leads to
the beach
The difference between
the water level and
during high tide and low
tide is very large
S W O TWater activities
Animal spotting
(mudskippers, fish, birds)
Trees on the side can be
subjected to further
landscaping and
beautifying the site
S W O TWaves may erode structures over time
Small but deep holes in muddy soil near swamp
area
Rubbish accumulated on beach may bring
unwanted diseases
