CHAPTER 1
1.1
Introduction
This chapter discusses the introduction to the study. It represents the overview
of the study and briefly explains the background, the aim, problem statement,
formulating the study methodology, the outline of the report, and the limitation and
scope of the study.
Basically, any building development and construction must consider space for
parking lot. People need proper car parks to be provided to them inside or outside the
building. If the parking area is not in the development consideration, then the project
can be considered as a failure.
Problem Statements
help from Mrs. Hjh Normah Bte Kechut, the Deputy Planning Officer in Majlis
Perbandaran Muar (MPM), the study will identify the cause to the problem and how to
reduce it as there is an increase of population and car users in the Muar city.
1.2.1
Public Behavior
Parking issues come from the public behavior itself. The public
come to the city and simply park their vehicle anywhere and everywhere
they like. They refuse to park in the parking facility provided by the local
authority.
1.2.2
The old planning layout for parking area was design over past
100 years ago, and there is a problem to change or alter the layout.
Some owners of the old building in Muar town are reluctant to enhance
their building by providing space for car park. They must build new
building that can provide car park, based on the parking guideline
enforce by the MPM.
1.2.3
Muar town does not have enough space to provide more parking
facilities for the people. Majority of vacant land in Muar town owns by the
MPM. They always wanted to develop commercial buildings, regardless
the parking problems, because of the profit they can get.
1.3
Purpose of Study
The main purpose of this research is to investigate and understand the parking
management system applied at Muar town, from the perspective of planning, organizing
and controlling.
1.4
Objective
Scope of Study
The study is limited to scope and limitation, in order to receive a clear result
from the analysis. The scope of the study will focus on:
1) The parking problem in Muar central town. The issues are the congestion
and traffic problems. The author tries to investigate and analyze a way to
overcome the problem. The current management system for parking is not
working successfully because of the congestion.
2) To achieve the aim of this study, that is to investigate the system and
process of managing parking lot. Then followed by some conclusions and
recommendations to the topic.
3) This study depends very much on primary and secondary data. Therefore,
the nature of this study is more of a critical review on property management,
and to investigate the system and process of managing parking space.
1.5.1 Limitation
There might be some new and current information on the topic, which is
kept by the private or government agencies. Unfortunately the information is
treated as confidential and thus cannot be released to public. So, it is
impracticable to obtain first hand information. The study is carry out based on
general survey, geographical remoteness of the study area, coupled with
constraints of time and finance. So, this study has to be prepared within these
limitations.
There are some significant gains that can be achieved through the study. The
importances on this study are:-
1. The results of the finding can be used to make guidelines and references for
parking management at Jalan Salleh, Muar in terms of planning, organizing and
controlling for future benefits.
2. The study also can identify and improve the weakness on the management of
parking, giving the alternative ways and recommendations.
3. The study can be used as a guideline and reference to any interested individual
or body, for the purpose of parking management in established urban area.
