Overview

Pulau Ubin 10.19 km² One of the last rural areas to be found in

Singapore About 100 inhabitants of the island

Background Information

Maman Beach

Location

Maman Beach

Mamam Beach

Proposed Reclaimed Land

Breakwater

Sea

Attractions

Chek Jawa

Temples

Quarries

Sunny Receives a lot of sunlight throughout the year Suitable for harnessing solar energy

Windy Strong sea breeze is cooling and hence

requires less use of air conditioner

Benefits of the Location

Chek Jawa Harms and destroys marine ecosystem Destroy natural habitat

Other Beaches - Lack of space for resort - Too dirty

Why other places were not Suitable

Land will be reclaimed from the sea to be used to extend the shoreline

Small portion of the surrounding forests will also be deforested to : Provide more space for the resort Provide wood for construction of some parts of

the resort and furniture.

Land Reclamation

Hard engineering methods Breakwaters

Solid granite walls to protect the erosion of shoreline

Soft Engineering Methods Beach Nourishment Encouraging growth of coral reefs

Coastal Management

Structure will be made with recycled glass and steel to support the eco-theme

Solar panels will be installed on the roof of the resort to maximize the limited space.

Interior of rooms and furniture will be made from wood, which is visually appealing.

The Resort

1. Design - Using glass for the exterior of the resort, natural sunlight can be used for the lighting in the day

- Using wood for the interior of the resort allows a cooling effect on the rooms, making guests less inclined towards using air conditioning.

Green living practices in the resort

2. Light sensors can be installed at corridors, rooms and toilets of the resort, to reduce electricity consumption.

3. Washroom cisterns to have half-flush and full-flush functions

4. Leaflets and brochures to be printed with recycled paper.

Green living practices

5. Recycling bins will be situated throughout the resort, to encourage guests to recycle.

6. Food waste can be converted to compost and used as fertiliser for the plants around the resort

Green Living Practices

Mangrove swamps to be planted Reduce soil erosion Filters sea water Recycling bins Situated on various parts of the island

Chalets to be constructed from wood Abundant Naturally cooler

Eco - Friendliness

Solar-Powered Vans Transport tourists on free and easy tours

Bio fuel powered Trams Guided tours led by tour guides

Transportation

Solar Power Solar panels consist of solar cells which are

made up of semiconductors like silicon Light rays are absorbed by the semiconductors

and causes the electrons to be in an excited state, flowing in one direction along a wire, thus producing electricity

Green Technology

Wind Wind currents are erratic Not strong enough

Tidal Waves erratic Not strong enough to be used as a source of

energy

Green Technology (Rejected)
