197 factor of avoiding the development of housing in restricted areas is considered by four LPs (57.1%), namely Tampoi, Larkin and Kempas, Kulai-Senai, Pasir Gudang and Johor Bahru District. The fifth factor is to distribute the future housing locations based on the expected future market demands. This was made an effort by two LPs (28.5%), namely Pasir Gudang LP and Johor Bahru District LP.
6.3.6.2 Outcomes of the Distribution of Future Housing Location It is a common practice for the preparation of LP to demarcate the future housing location in the form of housing land use zones. Other than this, as discussed in section 3.3.3.5, there are two guidelines on the outcomes of distribution of future housing location proposed by the LP manuals, i.e. to determine the time-frame (phase) for the future housing developments and to stipulate the types of housing development (landed or flatted) allowed for certain areas. The analysis shows that all the LPs in the study area had distributed the location or zone for future housing only in the form of overall planning period, and not in certain planning phases (or development phases) as produced by the outcomes of the LP’s housing forecast (section 6.3.4.3). In relation to the stipulation of the types of housing development allowed, that is either landed development or high-rise development, the result indicates that only the Skudai LP had touched on this aspect. The LP has outlined a specific guidance to control the types of housing development by stipulating that only certain areas be permitted for the development of flatted housing.
6.3.6.3 Level of Comprehensiveness of the Distribution of Future Housing Location The level of comprehensiveness of LPs in distributing future housing location is measured based on the following measurement criteria: (i)
Consideration for the factor of accessibility from main road (factor 2).
(ii)
Consideration for the factor of following the alignment of development corridor (factor 3).
