Planning is a democratic process through whichcommunity with planner help to determine

needs and ways to fulfill through a deliberativeand reflective process.

Since communities differ in their needs and socio-

cultural groups within communities seekdifferent ends, it follows that effective planning

would result in a plurality of plans to suit theneeds of diverse public.

Therefore planning consist of multidimensional

profession with sensitivity toward class, race,sex and culture.

In an era when modernism has profoundly effected the shape of the city, new urbanismpresents a new images for a good community.

The proponents of new urbanism have developed charters that present their principles

as universal and timeless.

New urban approaches have become so deeply to keep cities competitive in an era ofglobalization.

There are 4 basic principles of community design:

a. Function the design should be usable by all

b. Order the design should be easily understood

c. Identity the design should be distinctive and recognizable

d. Appeal the design should be pleasing and attractive

By : Jill Grant. (2006). Good Community New Urbanism in Theory and Practice. USA.

Function is a broad perspective in the social sciences which addresses social structure

in terms of the function of its constituent and institutions.

a. Linkage The linkage theory involves the

organization of lines that connect/access the parts of the city and the

design of a spatial datum from theselines relate buildings to spaces.

Linkages is simply the glue of thecity/interaction. It is the act by which

we unite/overlap all the layers ofactivities and resulting physical form in

the city Linkage elements are static and formal

in nature. There are 3 types of spatial linkages:

b. Security

Diagram above shows the contribute of

the knowledge exchange among citieson the role of security in urban

development.

Safety concerns on physical andsecurity concerns more intangiblethreats.

Security is the quest for a situation ormoment of privacy in which something

undesirable does not exist or does nor

occur. Security can be predominantly related

to a spatial entity or urban activities.

c. Comfort The term used to denote a type of

mental conditioning resulting inartificially created mental boundaries,

within which an individual derives asense of friendliness.

Konsep masyarakat madani (civilsociety) menonjolkan ciri ciri keselesaan

berteraskan idealisme bandar (physicalease).

Pembentukan sebuah persekitaranfizikal dan komuniti bandar boleh dan

mendapat keselesaan hidup dalampersekitaran fizikal, ekonomi dan sosial

yang meningkat selesa (visual rest).

d. Diversity Developing countries are facing unprecedented

challenges toward sustainable societies in thesense that they have to balance economy growthand environmental consideration.

Dealing with and valuing diversity, difference and

the desire for distinctiveness. The challenge is to create a coherent narrative for

diversity and how it can solve the problems.By: Phil Wood, Charles Landry. (2008). The Intercultural City Planning For Diversity

Advantages. USA.

The major issues in waste disposal are unplanned

city drains, lack of integrated sewage lines,blocked storm water drains, untreated sewage tocanals, lack of sewage system for many areas and

lack of treatment plants.

Through careful and sustainable urban designplans these aspects can be given a much needed

boost to develop to its potentials.

Confirmed by one design to another under specific terms and conditions.http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/order.html access on 11 March 2010 at 4.56pm

a. Coherence

The area of coherence in design was discuss in general

manner, the issues are equally related to how to design(guideline).

Coherence involves connections between the discourse andthe context in which it occurs.

Coherence theories that have received the most attention inapplied design for communities.

Coherence can be divided into several suggestions: Signal the major ideas in the text such as using numbers.

Use heading and indentations to indicate the major ideas. Include repetition of important ideas in various wordings.

Di dalam merekaletak sesuatu elemen di dalam kawasanpembangunan, kesatuan kesemua elemen penting bagi

memastikan keserasian dan keindahan kawasan tersebutdipelihara.

b. Clarity The important of this principle is simplicity.

A design solution should start from the bare bones and addelements to ensure the design is only as complex as it needs

to be.

The design should/may be successful if combined with clarityideas, giving the user a way in to the product (development).

The reason for structuring the design into sections is to presentinformation in manageable and cohesive units for clarity andease of reading.

For the sake of brevity and clarity the design process ispresented as if it were a linear progression from project

inception to the distillation of the solution.By: Cliff Moughtin et al. (1999). Urban Design: Method and Techniques

.

The designing legibility is determined by the technical design of

the area, their clarity.

c. Continuity Continuity is the term often used to donate the visual

relationship between 2 or more design. Continuity of self is a strategy unique to determine design that

seeks to enhance functioning through environments that havemeaning to a particular individual.

None of the universal design principles specifically address theissues of continuity, this is because universal design is design

for everyone and continuity is specific design (system). However a broader interpretation of this universal design

principles suggests that the same or equivalent designelements can be used to support continuity (sequence).

None of the universal design principles contradict continuity(rhythm).

According to Anderson (1984) many a good design is the resultof continuity as a system of design programs.

d. Balance

Balance is a

fundamental humancondition.

Balance is a prizedcommodity in our

culture. In design, balance acts

as a catalyst for form. Visual balance occurs

when the weight of oneor more things is

distributed evenly orproportionately in

space/design(emphasis).

Balance need not nestatic.

Balance and rhythmwork together to create

works of design(pattern).

Principle of logic stating that an object is the same as itselfhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity access on 21 March 2010 at 7.37 pm

Identity is the word most commonly used to distinguish it from other places/design.Georgia Butina Watson, Ian Bentley. (2007). Identity By Design. USA.

a. Focus The design focus is to monitor early use of the design to

ensure proper performance in design (visual focus). The design focus is to scale the supply and performance to

meet the demand in designing.

The lively new configuration of downtown represented in

renewal city not only made by the place/location but alsounleashed the a slightly grander vision of a activity node that

would be a focus for the main activities. This activity node is conceived as a way of increasing and

enhancing the support activities in certain place/location.

b. Unity Creating a sense of unity through controlled chaos is more difficult than a sense ofunity through similarity (concept).

Many of the best-loved areas of cities in the world with extraordinarily high property

values have a remarkable unity in design but to many critics for unity in old fashionedidea today.

Unity and simplicity of design can be found everywhere with the idea from thedesigner.

Even if a perfect unity of design, without the slightest apparent exception, could bepointed out as prevailing in the universe prove a unity in the power which produced it

(repetition).
