| Summary: | Spatial analysis of current land use provides useful insight on urban development
trend specifically in measuring sprawl growth. Remote sensing and GIS
technologies were applied in this research to measure the phases of segregated
urban sprawl growth, focusing on the aspect of mixed land use planning. The
findings proved that Kuala Lumpur is currently facing segregated land use sprawl
based on the measurement derived from one of LUGI component. This type of
sprawl transpired within the residential zone in Kuala Lumpur city, demoting
mixed-use development by unravelling different classes of land uses into singleuses,
thus promoting high dependency on motorised vehicle and discouraging
public and pedestrian modes of transportation. The transit-oriented development
is one of necessary approaches to control segregated sprawl and promotes mixeduse
development in housing areas within the city. |
