Zoning

The zoning of PRASINOS is based on the topography

of the site and the concept of tropical rainforest in

Malaysia which consist of 4 layer .The zone of the

PRASINOS are named after the layer of tropical

rainforest which include emergent area, canopy

area ,understory area and undergrowth area.

Undergrowth areaAt the lowest ground of the tropical rainforest is the underground area.The 1.5km wide of undergrowth area set as the main entrance of the city.The citizen and tourism are require to enter the city through undergrowth area.The reason that build the entrance in the city because the forest city is huge hence there should be a entrance at the side of the forest city to ensure the safety of the city.

Besides that, at the side of the city consist of 3 main important buildings which is power supply building,water supply building and sewerage system factories.

The transportation in the city is subway line.The subway line is set at the underground of the city and the main pick up point of the subway line is located at the main entrance of the city.

Understory areAThe second lowest layer of the tropical rainforest is understory area. The understory area is above undergrowth area. The undergrowth layer consist of many kinds of different plants and animals .Hence ,the understory area consist of residential area and factories area.

The residential area located at the right site of the understory area. The residential area known as tree house which means the residential building will be built on the tree. Tourist and resident can enjoy nature life in a modern design of tree house. The resident can hear the bird cheeping in the forest ,enjoy the natural air con and watching sunrise and sunset everyday.

The left side of the city is the factory area .The reason that factory area build beside the residential area is to make the resident easier to just walk just a stone throw away distance to their working area .In the other way, the factory is built for improve the economy of the city.

The factory is built with special design which is there are a filter to filter out the smoke from the factories and there is the solar panel been pair up on the top roof to absorb the sunlight energy and convert it into electrical energy. This is the natural way to conserve the city being from air pollution .There are different types of industry factories been built in the city to improve the economy of the city.

Canopy areaThe canopy area build up from 3 part.On the left hand side is the shopping mall.Every city have its own leisure place to let the resident to relax and spend their free time.In the other hand the shopping mall also can help the city increase their income and improve its own economy.In the shopping mall is mainly selling the green plant, different kinds of fruits and it is a good place to allow resident to communicate and knowing each other.

The right hand side is the residential area .The resident area is also build up in modern tree house concept.But in the canopy area, the residential will be slightly lesser compare to the understory area.One of the special thing at the residential area is there is a food court placed at the both side of the residential area.The food court selling various

type of food and those food are include the culture of the city like malay food, chinese food , indian food and many.

Emergent area Emergent layer is the highest layer in the

tropical rainforest which indicate that it is

highest plants and trees in the area. So, in the

emergent area of this city, there is built by all

the important buildings such as sky scraper ,

education building (university, secondary school,

primary school and kindergarden).

The left hand side of the emergent area will be sky

scraper. The sky scraper is the main tower in this city.

The sky scraper is like a flower shape architectural

design which shows the nature of the city. This

building is mainly do as government buildings ,law and

adminstration centre. Beside than the flower shape

design ,there is a solar panel place above the top of

roof to absorb the maximum sunlight and transfer the

solar energy to electrical energy.

The right hand side of the emergent layer is education area and other important

service centre like police station , fire fighter station , hospital to serve the citizen

when emergency.Those important building is located one to two layer above the

residential area and those who need service just need take subway to those service

centre like around 10minutes or just a short walking distance around 1km to the

service centre.

Conserved forest The conserved forest area is the place that special design by our city to protect those various plant species. Forest conservation involves the upkeep of the natural resources within a forest that are beneficial to both humans and the ecosystem. Forest conservation acts to maintain, plan, and improve forested areas. Forests provide wildlife with a suitable habitat for living along with filtering groundwater and preventing runoff.

There are 4 types of techniques will be used in forest conservation to improved forested areas and to makes the available resources sustainable.

Afforestation

Afforestation is a proactive method used to improve forests. Afforestation is the planting of trees for commercial purposes. The supply of wood and wood products from afforested areas has prevented the over use and destruction of natural forests. Instead of taking resources from existing natural forests, afforestation is a process used to plant to trees and use them as resources instead of naturally existing forests.Afforestation is a way to create a forest. Afforestation occurs when the planting of trees is introduced to an area that previously had no trees.

Reforestation

Reforestation is another method to sustain forests by improving existing forested areas. Reforestation is a method of planting trees in an existing forested area. This method is used in reaction to deforestation. When forests are removed without reestablishment they can be reforested by planting trees in the same area to rebuild the existing forest.

Selective logging

Selective logging is another method used to meet the needs of both the forests and humans seeking economical resources. Selective logging is the removal of trees within a stand based on size limitations. This technique allows for forest regeneration to occur between and after the selective harvest cycles.

Controlled burn

Controlled burn is a technique that is used to manage forests. Fire can benefit the ecosystem within a forest. Fire is natural and it is also a tool of foresters used to improve the forests. It renews the forest undergrowth and also stimulates the germination of trees species. In some species of trees such as the Sequoia, seedlings remain in dormancy until broken by fire.

Theme park

The yellow zone is the theme park. The theme park

named as escape theme park. Escape theme park

is an outdoor theme park which located at the top

left side of the city. The theme park open on

everyday include public holiday and school

holiday .It is special design theme park which all

the facilities is built in nature way and it is a non-

smoking theme park .

The park featured an equal mix of thrill rides and family rides. Some thrill rides

include a pirate ship, 2 go kart tracks, 1 of which is catered to younger riders,

fairground style rides, a walk-through haunted house, as well as the highest log

flume in Asia. There are also numerous family attractions such as bumper boats, a

family coaster, a Ferris wheel and a central pavilion with many funfair-style games.

ZOO

The red area in the zoning is zoo.The zoo that build in the city is to protect the animal before we build the city.When we build a city in a forest,we need to concern about the nature and do not destroy the flora and fauna hence we special build a zoo to keep those animals inside and also do it as a part of activities in the theme park.

Besides that, in the zoo we also had hired the some indigenous people as zookeeper to take care the animals and give the treatment to the animals when injured . There are many kinds of animal in zoo and the most famous animal in the zoo is Malaysia tiger.Many tourist come to PRASINOS during their holiday time to enjoy the nature life and also see the Malaysia tiger.

Our zoo in mainly focus on safari zoo. Some zoos keep animals in larger, outdoor enclosures, confining them with moats and fences, rather than in cages.In safari zoo,visitors can feed the animals with selected food and come in close proximity to the animals to have a good experience with them.

underground

Transportation

The transportation is built in underground of the city due to the limited land of the city.There is a tunnel dig by manpower and built up a subway lane.The main pick up point will be at the entrance of the city and there is a subway reach to each station every 15min.The cost of the subway train is free and the train is used by solar energy to generate and backup by electrical energy which stored by solar energy.The citizen and tourist can enjoy the nature life journey with low costing.The is a after care of the subway train every week to ensure the safety of the visitor.

Power Grid

An power grid is an interconnected network for delivering electricity from suppliers to consumers. It consists of generating stations that produce electrical power, high-voltage transmission lines that carry power from distant sources to demand centers, and distribution lines that connect individual customers.The main power grid is located at the undergrowth area which on the left hand side of the entrance.

Water Supply System

A water supply system or water supply network is a system of engineered hydrologic and hydraulic components which provide water supply.The water supply system will generated and filter the underground water and send to every corner of the city.

Sewerage System

Sewerage refers to the infrastructure that conveys sewage. It encompasses components such as receiving drains, manholes, pumping stations, storm overflows, and screening chambers of the combined sewer or sanitary sewer. Sewerage ends at the entry to a sewage treatment plant or at the point of discharge into the environment .The sewerage system is important to every city and it should be active to avoid a city getting from pollution.
