• Has access to main road (Jalan Bangi)
• Road is a 2-way lane, eases congestion
• Less contour lines, flat surface – suitable for
building placement (Elevation: 24.38 m -
30.58m)
• Nearest U-turn at Teras Jernang (365m)
• Near to Sungai Langat (261.9 m)
• Has construction waste at road side
• No access to public transport - Nearest is UKM
KTM station (4146 m), FPEND bus stop (1599 m)
• Has lots of rubbish around the area
• U-turn at Gate 3 of UKM is the nearest access
road to site (1334m) – might stuck in congestion
or have accident risks

• Might become a self-made dumping site

1.8 km)
• U-turn at Gate 3 of UKM will be closed – have
• Abandoned road can be made as an access
to take the longer route, make u-turn at UKM
road to site
traffic light
• Adequate land for cut and fill – save cost .

 LOCATION OVERVIEW
(SITE 2)

Coordinate: 2°54’55.59’’N, 101°45’32.68’’E

 STRENGTHS
• Has 3-way junction with traffic light to ease the traffic flow –
people from B. B. Bangi & Bangi Lama has easy access
• Has a temporary bus stop
• Distance from site to temporary bus stop (74.43 m)
• Road is a 2-way lane - eases congestion
• Site area has less contour lines – suitable for building placement
(Elevation: 18.29m to 28.96m)
• Near to Sungai Langat (307.95m)
STRENGTHS • Nearest U-turn at FKAB (1716m)

WEAKNESSES
OPPORTUNITIES WEAKNESSES
THREATS • No access to public transport (Nearest is UKM KTM station –
4528m)
• Very steep slope – more cut and fill work
• 3-way junction traffic light – congestion occurs during peak
hours
 OPPORTUNITIES
• Can add another route at the junction to make it a 4-way
junction
• Can rebuild the temporary bus stop into a proper bus stop for
society (Temporary bus stop to UKM – 1843 m)

STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES THREATS
• Very steep slope – cannot make access to main road
OPPORTUNITIES
• Steep slope near to the main road may cause soil erosion/slope
THREATS failure
