Monitoring Land Use Pattern And Built-Up Expansion In Kuala Lumpur City Centre
Abstract
The urban development in the City Centre of Kuala Lumpur contributed to the Gross National Income of Malaysia. Current practice in Malaysia tends to set an allocation of high-intensity development that is mostly focusing on City Centre Commercial (CCC) while setting different priority allocated for other Centers. Compounding this issue, Malaysia is now experiencing unbalanced land use distribution and changes within the urban centre which lead to leap-frog urban sprawl toward suburb, as well as different plot ratio placed at the maximum cap by the authority in City Center lead to the saturated build-up and downsizing the high-rise development. The possible solution to curb the severity of these issues lie in identifying the growth pattern in the change of land use and expansion that create the limitation of development. The identification of land use change plays an important role in delivering an accurate feasibility study and in structuring an effective strategic plan for improvement of planning standard for the authority. This paper analyses the information through remote sensing approach by identifying the urban growth pattern for KL City Centre using satellite image (1989 to 2019) and examine the influence of different plot ratio to the built-up area in City Centre which complies with the Local Authority Standard. In detail, the focus directed towards understanding the City Centre growth by determining the built-up area expansion, in addition to analyzing the implementation of plot ratio control through land use zoning. The study has found the urban growth expansion/ limitation of development.
