1) Site Analysis
Site analysis is an inventory completed as a preparatory step to next planning process. In order to get the details, I and my partner went to the site to do some analysis and we found that there are several issues and problems in the Tanjung Dawai are such as poor access condition, waste management problems, poor house condition and lack of some infrastructure.
Besides, during the site visit we found out that this area was gazetted as Tourism area by government based on the villagers there. So, this place must be have a great potential to be develop if there are more strategic and effective planning for this area. Then we decided to solve the problem in this area by using the potential elements to create a better community space for the users of this site.
Our findings are not end there, but we need to present the progress to the studio master and our studio mate in slide show presentation.

Next, we move to our concept which come out with the solution to the problems at the site. Overall, we only upgrade and make some modification to solve the problems by upgrading the existing road and pathway, proposed eco-tourism space and activities, provide employment through industrial and community facilities in order to enhance their income level besides make their life better.
So,we came out with 'Moderate Modification' theme but unfortunately this theme is not accept by the studio master. Then, we reviewed our concept to a better approach which is more focus to the community interactive space and we get new theme called "Flexi-Tourism". As usual, we need to present this tasks in 3 slides without compromising.
