INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to investigate the current state development of the rural, suburban and urban areas of Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and the state of Selangor.
By observing our site visit to Kuang, Kepong and KL Central by train, this report describes about the facilities, pathways and design of the railway station. The report then discusses further more into comparison of the different train stop areas in development of the three contexts (rural, suburban and urban).
Before the current train development system we have in Kuala Lumpur, there were two stations that were already operational in the city. The first railway station ever built in Kuala Lumpur was inaugurated in September 22, 1886 by the British called the Resident Station. Constructed of wood and nipah palm roof, linking from Kuala Lumpur to Klang. However, the Resident Station was soon demolished in 1910 after the construction of the new and rebuilt Kuala Lumpur Station.
The Sultan Street Station was the second station constructed in 1892, located in Tun Tan Cheng Lock Road. It was designed based on the Resident Station and was stationed along the Pudu railway line. After the opening of the Kuala Lumpur Station, the Sultan Street Station was replaced by a smaller terminal station and as the years passes by, the station was left isolated and demolished in 1960.
The development of the railway stations built around the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and the state of Selangor were significantly influenced by the colonial and mughal architecture at an early age. There are now about 115 railway stations around Malaysia, offering our city connectivity, convenience and an international lifestyle.

The blueprint of Kuala Lumpur Sentral began with the masterplan of a
“City-within-a-City” concept design by the renowned Japanese architecture,
Dr Kisho Kurokawa. He is responsible for this contemporary and
international concept of space, light and greenery. It has spacious plazas,
indoor courtyards, sidewalk cafés, shops, restaurants and pedestrian
walkways interspersed with landscaped green buffer zones, create a sense
of a harmonious existence, blending functionality with technology and
accessibility.
KL Sentral development comprises of 7 lots. Featuring a self-
contained city concept comprising of corporate office towers and business
suites, international hotels, luxurious condominium, a shopping mall and an
international exhibition, convention and entertainment centre. It is an
exclusive centre built around Malaysia’s largest transit hub, offering global
connectivity, excellent investment opportunities, business convenience and
an international lifestyle.

It is the first city in Malaysia to portray the new characteristic of a
global city, where work, live and play co-exist in a harmonic environment.
This prime 72-acre freehold commercial and residential environment is built
around a world class transportation hub.
The KL Sentral Station which is named Lot H, is the center of the
development, where the state-of-the-art transportation hub for Kuala
Lumpur’s integrated rail transportation, seamlessly links all urban and
suburban residential, commercial and industrial areas.
Its infrastructure supports six rail networks which was completed in
December 2000, the KLIA Express Rail link, KLIA Transit, Rapid KL
(Putra), KTM Komuter, KTM Intercity and KL Monorail Services. Lot H also
offers job opportunities for small businesses to set up their business as
retail or food and beverage. Situated on 9.3 acres the main building has a
gross floor area of half a million sq ft.

Internal and external of KL Sentral
Kepong is one of the major townships in Kuala Lumpur. Situated in a
more suburban environment where housing areas are more populated than
commercial buildings due to the spreading concept of a balanced lifestyle.
Although there are shopping malls like Jusco, Carrefour, Tesco and Brem
Mall, majority of businesses are usually opened at small commercial
blocks. Especially during peak hours, Kepong will be congested with cars,
lorries and motorbikes. Which therefore causes air pollution and vehicle
pollution to the environment.

Buildings surrounding Kepong area.
Graphically, Kepong is surrounded by 600 hectares of pristine forest
land. The onsite Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong
Metropolitan Park, Taman Rekreasi, and last but not least Desa Park City,
which is one of the highly-regarded hybrid projects in Kepong which has
drawn wide attention to the community.
There are two train stations on the commuter's Rawang-Seremban
route, namely the Kepong KTM station and Kepong Sentral KTM station.
Historically, Kepong is a largely ethnic town with no shortage of
economic activities. Its economic lens bear witness to the rubber plantation,
tin and quarry trades in the colonial days. The establishment of the nearby
Sungai Buloh and Rawang Industrial Zones has also contributed indirectly
to Kepong's growing economic status.

Examples photo of Kepong KTM Station
Kuang is a town in the Gombak district of Selangor, Malaysia. The
area is very rural, where houses are isolated from one another in a green
surrounding. There are only shop lots nearby the Kuang KTM Station, and
these small businesses are in a poor condition lot made from wall partition
and zinc roof. Most of the land in the area are own by Sime Darby, for
plantation, property and industrial purposes.Back in the day, Kuang has
one of the largest polo field in Asia. It was an important venue for polo
during the Commonweath Games in 1998.
The roads in Kuang are very narrow and majority of the residents
there uses motorbikes as their primary transportation due to the size of the
pathway to their house once they get off the road and into the forest.
Therefore, cars are not able to get through and not recommended for
residents who are living there.

POPULATION IN RAILWAY STATION
KL SENTRALKEPONGKUANG
CONCLUSION
KL Sentral is the Malaysia’s largest transit hub. Thus, KL Sentral offered global connectivity and flawlessly linking all urban and suburban residential, commercial and industrial areas. However, with the growing population, KL Sentral continues to cater to specific needs of its tenants, residents as well as other stakeholders especially to enhance the parking facilities and increase provision for more.
Kepong area has a population of 360,000 approximately where Chinese population exceeds 90%. Some suburbs have a degree of executive autonomy, and most have lower population density than inner city neighborhoods. Suburbs first emerged on a large scale in the 19th and 20th centuries as a result of improved rail and road transport, which led to an increase in commuting.
Population in Kuang area is 21,184 people. In Kuang, mostly found are farmlands and wood areas. The quality of life in Kuang is actually quite low. People have to walk a distance to a shop because it’s not systematic. Houses are built randomly unlike in suburbs and urbs. Not much facilities are found in Kuang such as shopping centre, banks, and hotels.

COMPARISON OF LIGHTINGS
22
KL SENTRAL
There aren’t any fences at KL Sentral. But they replaced it with glass door.
KEPONG
Wrought iron fences. They're made of iron, these types of fences are extremely durable.
KUANG
Chain link fences. Commercial chain link fences provide a secure boundary around your commercial or industrial property. These fences come in a standard height of 6 feet, but they can be built as high as 20 feet tall.
CONCLUSION
As result, KL Sentral is better than Kepong and Kuang’s railway station. It has better environment. The glass doors are designed it’s to prevent the cooling air from air conditioner flow out. In Kepong and Kuang stations, the sizes of the land are small. So they only use fences to surround the railway stations. But the security system is weak.
23
KL SENTRAL
KL Sentral provides more lights and make the place look brighter.
KEPONG
In Kepong, it is an open area. So there are only few lights/ lamp provided. But it is quite dim during night time.
KUANG
In Kuang station, the lights are really old and there are several lights that are not working anymore.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, KL Sentral is the best because it provided sufficient lights to the public and KL Sentral has better facilities compare to Kepong and Kuang. Kepong and Kuang stations are quite old and bad condition of facilities.
COMPARISON OF DRAINAGE SYSTEM
24
KL SENTRAL
Everything in KL Sentral is designed and built nicely. There’s no pipe leakage and the drainage system are covered.
KEPONG
In Kepong, the drainage system is sufficient. As it will not affect floods in the station.
KUANG
Drainage system in Kuang is not sufficient. And it’s not systematic
CONCLUSION
Again, KL Sentral is the best of all. Kepong and Kuang’s stations can be improved more. For instance, Kepong can design better on the outside look where as the drainage system should be covered to protect it. In Kuang’s station, drainage system is not sufficient so they should increase the amount.
COMPARISON OF SIGNBOARD
25
CONCLUSION
Kepong and Kuang’s station should improve their signboards avaibility. Thus, they have to make sure that it is sufficient and accurate information is given. KL Sentral did a good job in providing direction for the public. They even provided several Customer Service Counter.
KL SENTRAL
Sufficient and detailed direction provided. Easy to understand and accurate.
KEPONG
Sufficient but no detailed direction given. Not easy to be seen.
KUANG
Insufficient and not detailed. It’s hard to find direction (eg: washroom)
COMPARISON OF BLIND WALKWAYS
26
KL SENTRAL
Blind walkways in KL Sentral can be seen while the passengers exit from the train. It is not sufficient because they aren’t any in other areas.
KEPONG
Kepong provided blind walkways along the pedestrian bridge and also the corridor. It’s quite sufficient because the area is small.
KUANG
In Kuang’s station, blind walkways are also provided although the place is small. But it’s enough for the needy.
CONCLUSION
KL Sentral should increase the blind walkways as the station is the main center. It’s always crowded and that’s the reason the needy needs it. In Kepong and Kuang, theydid a good job. Although the area is small but they did not neglect the needies.

CONCLUSION
KL Sentral have the most quantity of benches and Kuang have the least quantity of benches. Besides, benches in KL Sentral are higher quality compared with Kepong and Kuang. KL Sentral is the highest population areas, so the benches are made from stainless steel which is most expensive and long lasting. In my opinion, KL Sentral should increase the number of benches so that more people can have a rest while waiting for the train.

KL Central is the highest population areas, so the benches are made from stainless steel which is most expensive and long lasting. In my opinion, KL Central should increase the number of benches so that more people can have a rest while waiting for
KL SENTRAL
Own parking lot is provided. The parking area is large and is storied. The parking rate is more expensive. Full day parking RM40, one hour RM4.
KEPONG
Own parking lot is provided. The parking area is medium in size and is on rood. The parking rate is cheaper.
KUANG
No parking is provided. Users park their own vehicles everywhere without proper arrangement.
CONCLUSION
KL sentral has large area of parking lots which are provided to workers, residents, users and etc to park their vehicles safely. Kepong has smaller parking area because the population in Kepong is less. Lastly, Kuang has no parking lot because parking lot is not needed in Kuang since the population is so low. In my opinion, the rate of parking in KL Sentral should be reduced so that people can pay lesser to park their cars everyday in KL Sentral.

KEPONG
Drinks vending machine is not available because it is not needed in this area. Population is low.
KUANG
Drinks vending machine is not available because it is not needed in this area. Population is low.
KL SENTRAL
KL Sentral provided drinks vending machine which is cheap and convenient for people to buy drinks any time at anywhere. KL Sentral is a centre point for interchange of railway station so vending machines are needed for waiting purpose.
CONCLUSION
Among these three areas, only KL Sentral provided drinks vending machine because the population in that area is very high. In my opinion, KL Sentral should add more vending machines not only drinks but also foods to provide convenience for people to buy drinks and foods to fill their stomach.
COMPARISON OF ATM MACHINES
31
KL CENTRAL
1. Material
- Stainless steel
2. Quantity
- 7 to 10
KEPONG
ATM machine is not available because it is not needed in this area.
KUANG
ATM machine is not available because it is not needed in this area.
KL SENTRAL
KL Sentral provided several ATM machines for people to get their money easily especially for the workers. KL Sentral needs this kind of facility because KL Sentral is a place which included business activities. It is easier for people to use when they need money immediately.
CONCLUSION
KL Sentral is the only place which provided ATM machine between these three areas, KL Sentral, Kepong and Kuang. KL Sentral is a place not only for railway purpose but also included business activities. However, for Kepong and Kuang they only used as a KTM station. So, ATM machine is not needed in these two areas. In my opinion, the number of ATM machines in KL Sentral should be increased so that people can enjoy this service faster and easier.

COMPARISON OF BRIDGE
33
KL SENTRAL
1. No bridge. Because KL Sentral has
few levels, and some of the places
were connected to allow people to
pass through. So it is not necessary
to have a bridge.
2. The picture shows the place which
allow people access from platform 3
to platform 4 .
KEPONG
1. Made of steel with ajiya roofing.2. Ajiya roofing has lower budget.3. To allow pedestrian cross over the
railway tracks.
KUANG
1. Made up of steel with PVC roofing.
2. The pedestrian Bridge is designed
with a better looking than the
Kepong one. This showed that
Kuang is slowly develop.
CONCLUSION
Every railway station must be designed with either a connected floor or bridge to allow people to walk across the railway track. People are not allowed to walk on the railway tracks for their safety. In my opinion, Kepong KTM station’s pedestrian bridge design should be upgraded like the Kuang's KTM station’s pedestrian bridge design. Which is firmer.
COMPARISON OF STAIRCASE
34
KL SENTRAL
1. Stainless steel staircase holder and pebble wash flooring
2. Width : Longer
KEPONG
1. Stainless Steel staircase holder and cement flooring
2. Width : Medium
KUANG
1. Stainless Steel staircase holder and pebble wash flooring
2. Width : Shorter
CONCLUSION
Three of the places used Stainless Steel staircase holder to prevent rust. Pebble wash flooring can prevent slippery and provide nice visuals. The width of the staircase in KL Sentral is the longest because KL Sentral has the highest population. While the width of the staircase in Kuang is the shortest as Kuang is the lesser population area compare to KL Sentral. In my opinion, pebble wash flooring should be apply on the Kepong KTM station staircase to provide nicer texture.
COMPARISON OF ELEVATOR
35
KL SENTRAL
1. Few lift were built in KL Sentral, because there are more population in KL Sentral.
2. The space in the lift is wider.3. People often use lift.
KEPONG
1. Only one elevator is built for the KTM Station.
2. The space in the lift is not wide.
3. The lift is seldom use by the people.
KUANG
1. No elevator.2. People with walking disabilities may not be able to ride on KTM.
CONCLUSION
In my opinion, every railway station must build elevators for the convenience of the people with walking disabilities. Or else they would not use the KTM facilities. The KL Sentral elevator is well designed. Finally, the KL Sentral and Kepong KTM station’s elevator should be maintain from time to time to ensure it will function properly.
COMPARISON OF ESCALATOR
36
KL SENTRAL
1. Escalators were built for the convenience of people.
2. Because there are high population in Kuala Lumpur.
3. People would not have to walk through the long staircase.
KEPONG
1. No escalators.2. Because they already had an elevator.
KUANG
1. No escalators.2. Because the population in Kuang is very less. And people
seldom use the KTM.
CONCLUSION
Kuang is the least population area. So, seldom people will use the KTM as the people there normally have their own business. They seldom go outside of Kuang. In my opinion, escalators in KL Sentral should be maintain from time to time as I can see the escalators will produce some shrill sound which are very irritating. Tourist and Malaysia citizen will be benefited if the problem can be fixed.
CONCLUSION
People often define urban areas as land occupied by buildings and other structures used for residences and industrial sites. Urban areas often have some form of public transportation such as buses, subways, or trains and have high population densities. Buildings are often closer together and built higher than those in suburban or rural areas. Therefore, KL Sentral is defined as urban area. For instance, there are many facilities provided to the public in the stations as well as the surrounding. In KL Sentral, we can seek LRT, Monorail and also KTM. Besides, there are also several shops such as restaurants, banking, butik and others. There are also buses and taxis provided at KL Sentral. These are the reason why the population is high. It is really convenient place for the public especially for transportations.
Suburban areas are those on the outskirts of cities. So Kepong is considered as suburban area. Residents of suburban areas often commute to the cities for work. Some suburban areas have commuter trains and buses that shuttle people to the cities. Structures in suburban communities are often lower and further apart than in cities. Though they have smaller populations than cities, suburbs offer the same services including schools, health care facilities and public works.
Furthermore, Kuang is the areas with large amount of land with lower populations than urban and suburban areas, Structures are far apart and some rural communities share hospitals or schools. Farmlands are also usually found in Kuang. However, most people in Kuang live in woodland forests, plains and deserts which are examples of rural area which are examples of rural area
37
CONCLUSION
Kuang is the least population area. So, seldom people will use the KTM as the people there normally have their own business. They seldom go outside of Kuang. In my opinion, escalators in KL Sentral should be maintain from time to time as I can see the escalators will produce some shrill sound which are very irritating. Tourist and Malaysia citizen will be benefited if the problem can be fixed.
