CONSIDERATION OF PLANNING PERMISSION IN SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATIONS

Planning permission may be required if the use of the property for short-term residential accommodations (STRA) services constitutes ‘development’ in planning terms. In analysing the possible operational aspects of STRA application in the planning system in Malaysia, the experience of STRA implementation in some selected countries is explored. The article concludes that there are different approaches, which are adopted by different regions concerning the need for planning permission. Most jurisdictions that are “friendly” towards STRAs view that planning permission is not necessary if STRA is managed on a small scale. Hence, it can be concluded that if the scale of the STRA business is big, i.e. ‘commercial’ in nature, planning permission is needed. Alternatively, the local planning authority may consider issuing a provisional or temporary planning permission (TPP), a short-term approval that is only permissible for the transitory nature of the use of land and buildings.

The Effects of Contradictory in Land Use and Land Policy to Land Revenue in the District of Petaling, Malaysia: A Preliminary Study

The terms ‘planning permission’ and ‘land use’ are of no anomalous amongst policy makers in the field of land administration and town planning. However, due to different policy jurisdictions, contradicting land uses are bound to arise and may affect land revenue. For the purpose of preliminary study, two surveys were conducted targeting two groups: 500 respondents amongst the public and 468 amongst policy makers in Selangor. Two different set of questionnaires in the form of Google form were distributed within the course of two months via e-mail and ‘WhatsApp’ mobile application. The study is to test the level of awareness amongst the public, and to test the level of readiness of policy makers as executors. It is later found that an average of 65% of all respondents namely policy makers and the public are unaware of the policies in relations to land use. Alas, it is recommended that an in-depth study to be conducted to increase public awareness on top of equipping policy makers with sufficient knowledge in maximizing the use of Temporary Planning Permission in matters of land administration and town planning, thus improving land revenue collections.

Temporary urbanism as a new policy strategy: a contemporary panacea or a trojan horse?

ABSTRACT Over the last two decades, temporary uses of space are spreading in Europe as a new policy tool to recover vacant areas. The theoretical debate is divided between the promoters of these new forms of tailor-made urbanism and the detractors, who argue that temporary urbanism is increasingly subject to profit logic as an urban policy strategy. Through two French case studies (The ‘Grands Voisins’ in Paris and the ‘Transfer Project’ in Nantes), the article discusses the characteristics of temporary urban planning and its intrinsic tension between a contemporary panacea and a trojan horse. Can the ‘temporary city’ be a partial response to the issues of social inclusion, housing, and equal accessibility to spaces and amenities, which the contemporary city seems to fail in? Or is temporary urbanism just an alibi for administrations and local leaders to continue perpetrating neoliberal policies?

TEMPORARY PLANNING PERMISSION IN DEVELOPMENT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Planning permission is prerequisite in development control process as it acts as one of the most significant and effective factors that determine the quality built environment and physical planning. This paper focuses on the temporary planning permission, which is a short-term approval and is only permissible for temporary use of land and buildings. The potential advantages of temporary planning permission have yet to be explored by the planning authorities in Malaysia. This study is aimed at exploring the implementation of the planning permission delivery process in controlling the development of land and building on a temporary basis. Thus, the objectives are intended to examine the process and procedure of temporary planning permission for urban development in relation to Act 172, to ascertain the role and function of the local planning authority, and reviewing the provision of law related to the temporary planning permission as in the Act 172. Comparative analysis between Act 172 (West Malaysia), Planning Act (Cap. 232) (Singapore) and Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (UK) in terms of decision making process has been made to explore the best practices in temporary planning permission. This study is anticipated to enhance the temporary planning permission delivery process and the development control system in Peninsular Malaysia.

L’aménagement temporaire, révélateur d’espaces et de pratiques pour le projet urbain

In a period of significant change caused by economic and ecological crises, the adaptability of urban planning has become a necessity. Temporary planning takes place in abandoned urban spaces that sit between old and new purposes, and can be seen as an important step in defining a future project. Temporary planning can be considered as a tool for promoting the development of urban areas to be more in line with the needs of residents and users, and providing a means of experimenting with new cultural and social forms. Understanding the context plays a key role in the effectiveness of planning proposals that are able to reveal spaces and practices.Many local authorities are at present seeking to define methods of involving people in the project process. Temporary urbanism offers citizens the opportunity to take part in the making of urban space. It allows actors – and not only economic actors – to change their vision of the project, to assess its various stages and to support the gradual transformation of a particular space.Contemporary urban planning is based on a new paradigm: thinking of the city through its uses. Abandoned urban spaces, as latent public spaces, are ideal locations for spontaneous or planned citizen investment. Temporary urbanism can give a particularly effective interpretation of such spaces, as shown by two experiments in Marseille and Clermont-Ferrand.

Tutorial 2.0 on Technical Drawing 3D and Visualization

This article shows the experience of applying technologies based on web 2.0 in an environment of learning at university level. Students are more and more familiar with such tools and learning at the University should be sensitive to this evolution. This tutorial 2.0 is based on two virtual environments that support and improve communication in the teaching-learning process: Moodle as an “institutional adapted” platform, and Site Google as an open platform. The temporary planning has been done with the design of a timeline. The implementation of the tutorial 2.0 has been highly accepted by the students. With respect to the teaching staff, they need permanent updates and the adaptation of web 2.0 tools in the development of the subject's guide.

Deployment of Wireless Mobile Detection and Surveillance for Data-Intensive Applications

Real-time information about traffic conditions is vital in construction, advanced traffic management systems, advanced traffic information systems, and other operational or design activities. Traditionally, at most permanent installations, such information is captured by in-pavement sensors and transmitted through land-based communications. However, temporary detection and surveillance are often needed as alternatives to the permanent sensor and camera systems at construction sites, during special events, or during communication or sensor failures. In such cases, temporary detection and surveillance must be reliable and low cost. Recent advances in wireless technologies have enabled development of portable detection and surveillance systems that can detect traffic, collect measurements, capture live video, and transmit this information wire-lessly back to the supervising station to facilitate rapid, inexpensive, and efficient deployment. However, to make widespread use practical, further improvements are needed in robustness, ease of use, functionality, and cost reduction. A low-cost, easily deployable detection and surveillance system is presented. The system integrates machine vision sensors for data collection, compressed digital video for surveillance, and wireless communications for information retrieval and remote control. It can be placed on existing or mobile structures and assembled with off-the-shelf components to serve department of transportation needs for both temporary traffic monitoring and planning and research data collection. Four of these advanced detection systems were deployed at a 1.7-mi site for wireless, continuous coverage, allowing detailed real-time data collection and surveillance. This data- and video-intensive deployment serves as a live laboratory for applications ranging from evaluation of new technologies (such as sensors, video, wireless communications) to testing of advanced traffic-simulation models or refinement of accident-prevention studies.
