CONTOUR & TOPOGRAPHY

SITE ANALYSISALLAN’S WATER, FRASERS HILL

By: Lee Jo Yee, Chung Wei Jin, Lim Yee Qun, Leong Hui Yi, Hiew Eyang


IntroductionContour & Topography

CONTOUR INTERVAL 1 METER

• 3 X 3 METER CUBIC AREA• MORE PRECISE

A contour map gives an idea of the altitudes of the surface features as well as their relative positions in plan serves the purpose of both,

A PLAN AND A SECTION.


Methodology

1. TAKE PICTURE OF EVERY SECTION OF THE AREA

2. USE HUMAN AS RATION TO CALCULATE HEIGHT OF SLOPES

HEIGHT x RATIO = ACTUAL HEIGHT

Features of the landContour & Topography

• SLOPES• FLAT GROUNDS• VALLEY - a low area of land between hills or mountains.• RIDGE - a long, narrow hilltop, mountain range, or watershed.

Access & Circulation

• DURING RAINY DAYS, LAKE WATER LEVEL RISES AND FLOOD THE FLAT AREA• VARIOUS CHANGES AND UNCONSISTENCY IN TOPOGRAPHY

View/ vista

• SLOPE HAS DIFFERENT HEIGHTS WHICH GIVES DIFFERENT VIEWS WHEN TOURISTS STAND AT DIFFERENT AREAS

Vegetation

• THE HIGHER THE SLOPE, THE TALLER THE TREES• THE LOWER THE SLOPE, THE SHORTER THE TREES

SWOT ANALYSIS

• Orginality of nature remained.

• Echo created by contour• Different views

• Hardly accessible • Human pollution• Limited views• Collected water• Safety• Stability of structures

• Water can be the main way to access to whole site.

• Trees hole the soil together

• Wild animal attack• Tree collapse after rain• Landslide• Polluted water


STRENGTH


• Allan’s Water remains originality of the nature meanwhile

making it accessible

• Ecosystem is complete in the enclosed curve of the contour

• Echo created by contour concentrates chirping of birds around

lake area

•Different height and slopes of mountain helps in ecology

studies

•Different height provides different views ( towards lake and

inside forest)


WEAKNESS


• Inconsistency in topography makes it hard for circulation.

•Lack of natural buffer zone – noise (Human noise pollution

caused by whistling of boatman might scare the birds away

)

• Collected water (lower zone) become habitat to

mosquitoes and leeches

• Stability of structures is not ensured (slopes)

OPPORTUNITYContour & Topography


• Lake can be the main access to the whole lake

•Waterfront/cross bridge/ new links for the

convenience of tourists


THREAT


• Wild animals hidden in the jungle might

attack tourists

• Trees might collapse after rain due to the

loosening of soil overtime and thus causing

landslide to occur

• Tourist who litter might cause the lake to be

polluted
