Rationale

There are many residential areas around this area and not a lot of commercial and residential area thus the community might find driving out to find a fitness center. Therefore having a fitness center nearby will decrease the need for them to drive far and waste their time on traffic.Hence, this empty land has high potential to become a successful commercial and recreational spot since this area is surrounded by residential area and it is lacking of recreational area.

Benefits to surrounding

This project will benefit in following ways:

1. Residents around that area could have found a place for recreational activities

2. Boosts up economic growth of this area

3. Bring convenience to the residents nearby

4. Creates a spot for people to meet ups Residents

5. The buiding of Subang Jaya Fitness can become a landmark for people to identified

6. Rate of healthy of residents might be improved

7. Creates job opportunity

Impact to surrounding

This project might bring impact in following:

1. Safety of the area might be decreased

2. Garbage accumulates around the area due to irresponsible of people

3. Students might escape class and go to the fitness center

4. Air pollution might increase due to the exhaust from incoming vehicles

5. Will causes traffic congestion as the road in front of the road is narrow

6. Sound pollution might increase due to traffic

7. The opposite residents will be influenced by the noises
