S W O T
Vast and spacious
Has both open spaces
and dense mangrove
Has limitless amount of
water (cleanliness in
question)
S W O T
Extremely disgusting smell
Small diversity of flora
and fauna
Barren
S W O T
Clear view of the Straits
of Malacca
Mangrove forms a
natural barricade, good
for development
Calm shores, aids in
development
S W O T
High 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.

ANNUAL WIND DISTRIBUTION
MONSOON WINDS
SEA BREEZE
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
S W O T
Sea breeze makes it
cooling during the day.
Safe site due to weak
tides and waves.
S W O T
High exposure of UV rays
due to sunlight.
Insulation difficulties due
to temperature
differences.
Soft and weak soil
condition.
S W O T
Potential for solar energy
exploitation.
Potential for beach
activities.
S W O T
Haze 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 DENSITY
Tends 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.

WEAKNESSES:
No motorcycle roads
Narrow roads
Lacking streetlights
THREATS:
Accident-prone area
OPPORTUNITY:
Increase street lighting

M I C R O
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/INGRESS
STRENGTHS:
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 T
Both 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 T
Swamp 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 T
Water activities
Animal spotting
(mudskippers, fish, birds)
Trees on the side can be
subjected to further
landscaping and
beautifying the site
S W O T
Waves may erode
structures over time
Small but deep holes in
muddy soil near swamp
area
Rubbish accumulated on
beach may bring
unwanted diseases
