2. INTRODUCTION
The integration of the economic, social and environmental
dimensions of development was strengthened to
promote sustainable development. The Government has
to implement measures to improve the quality of life,
promote sustainable consumption and production,
protect the environment; sustainably manage the natural
resource base; and enhance human, institutional and
infrastructure capacity. These measures also furthered
Malaysia’s implementation of Agenda 21.

3. WHAT IS THE SUSTAINABILITY ?
Brundtland Commission’s report (WCED, 1987) defined
sustainable development as ‘development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs’. This
definition has attained universal traction and is seen by
many who recognize the current unsustainable nature of
society as a means of achieving sustainability.

5. KAJANG CITY
Kajang, with a population of 229,655 is a town in the
eastern part of Selangor, Malaysia (2.98 N, 101.77 E).
It is located about 20 km south of Malaysia's capital,
Kuala Lumpur.

6. KAJANG GROWTH
Kajang has grown rapidly in the past few years. As of
2004, new Kajang townships have been developed and
are currently buzzing with night-life. These include the
Prima Saujana and Kajang Perdana (Kajang Highlands)
housing estates. Areas surrounding these new townships
are easily accessible via the new SILK Expressway.

7. PRIMA SAUJANA

8. Development quality
In Kajang we have to increase the quality of development
in all field and at long term by taking in account:
1-Health and quality of life.
2-Social equity and solidarity.
3-Environmental protection.
4-Access to knowledge.

9. Integrating Transport and Development
 promotion of linkages between environmental
protection, economic efficiency and social progress.
Under the environmental dimension.
 Transport must be effective and capable of adapting to
changing demands. Under the social dimension, the
objective consists in upgrading standards of living and
quality of life.
 Understanding the reciprocal influences of the physical
environment and the practices of the industry and that
environmental issues are addressed by all aspects of the
transport industry.

11. Environmental impact and travel demand
 . There are several interrelated ways in which transportation
systems can adapt to cope with transport demand and reach a
better level of sustainability:
1-The densification and agglomeration of activities can
involve spacial structures such as logistics zones or transit
oriented developments and can result in reduced vehicle trips
and increase some of the sustainable transport alternatives.
2-Full-cost pricing involves the full (or partial) recovery of
costs related to the public investments incurred by varying
levels of government in relation to constructing, repairing and
operating transport networks.
3-The strategy of traffic bans is a more direct method of
reducing traffic demand.

12. Development access
 Pedestrians, cyclists, public and private transport are
parts of every roadway environment.
 The attention must be paid to this part’s presence in rural
and urban areas.

13. It is important to recognize the forces influencing the demand
for provision of more and better pedestrain and cyclists
facilities, the demand for this facilities influenced by :
 The influence of topography.
 The nature of the local community.
 Car ownership .
 Local land use activities.
 Quality of provision.
 Safety and security.

14. Congestion and type of transport
 in order to reduce the congestion in a city we have to
draw up a plan to influence modal shift from private car
to public transport.

15. To reduce traffic congestion, some measures should be
adopted such as:
 improving the quality of bus services throughout the area
 Improving network coverage to give access to key facilities.
 Improving bus stations and bus stops to improve the waiting
environment.
 Improving the scope and range of information provided to
passengers.
 Maintaining a range of tickets which allow travel throughout the
network or can be used on trams and trains
In general plan networks due to long-term development s and
encourage the use of public transport by it a competitive advantage
over private car

16. parking
 Parking is the act of stopping a vehicle and leaving it
unoccupied. Parking on one or both sides of a road is
often permitted, though sometimes with restrictions.
Parking facilities are constructed in combination with
some buildings, to facilitate the coming and going of the
buildings' users.

17.  Parking controls, raising parking prices or reducing the
amount of parking areas, can be used to deter the use of
privately owned vehicles in areas of highest demand by
raising the price of commuting to high density areas
 kajang By use multi center strategy we can reduce the
traffic jam in city center and solve the parking problem
and by construct Kajang Central in Kajang station
location all the parking problem will be solved.

18. Urban design principles
To address the changes in urban design and planning, we are
considering the following principles:
1-Density,diversity, and mix uses, users, building type, and
public spaces.
2-transit supportive, shifting from car oriented pattern to
transit oriented pattern.
3-pesdestrains, as alternative modes to reduce car-dependency.
4-Place-making, with a strong sense of identity.
5-Complete communities, with providing needs of daily
living.
6-Integrated natural systems, by conserving and enhancing
health of this system.

19. 7-Integrated Technical and Industrial Systems.
8-Local sources, by growing and producing the resources
needed.
9-Redundant and Durable Life Safety and Critical
Infrastructure Systems.
10-Resilient Operations, by developing building types
and urban forms with reducing servicing cost , and
reducing environment footprints.

20. Context for overall plan
strategies for the overall design character of a proposal, to
be attractive and function well, the plan should take into
account the following:
1- Respecting the local site

21. 2-Responding to the site

22. 3-creating attractive surroundings and spaces to live

23. safety and security
Security and safety environmental sustainability are not
only compatible goals, but security is also a critical
component and integral part of sustainability.
Sustainability has been considered the broader, more
encompassing category, and the role and importance of
security as an element of sustainability is often not
explicitly recognized.

24. Landscape and biodiversity
maintaining a patchwork of green spaces and ponds in
gardens and the public domain to produce a cumulative
benefit to wildlife.

25. Renewable energy
This is a three-step method for increasing the
sustainability of energy systems by:
1- Reducing the demand for energy
2-Applying renewable energy sources wherever
possible.
3-Filling in the remaining need as efficiently and
cleanly as possible with fossil fuels.

27. Air Quality
Air pollution has many disastrous effects that need to
be curbed. In order to accomplish this,
governments, scientists and environmentalists are
using or testing a variety of methods aimed at
reducing pollution.
Five major input control methods exist. People may
try to restrict population growth, use less energy,
improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and move
to non-polluting renewable forms of energy
production. Also, automobile-produced pollution
can be decreased with highly beneficial results.

29. Water quality and drainage
.The quality of Kajang water is influenced greatly
by human development
1-Acid rain is a common problem. The expanse of
hard impermeable surfaces in cities results in large
bodies of rainwater requiring collection and
discharge elsewhere.
2-Dust, dirt and other solid pollutants are washed
with rainwater into drains, the water sometimes
discharged untreated into local waterways.
3-Drinking water from local waterways often
requires treatment with chemicals to combat
bacteria and other micro-organisms from such
pollution.
