2. Public space
Concept
Public space and narrow sense refer to those for the usage of urban residents' social life
and daily life, public, outdoor and space. It includes streets, parks, sports venues, squares,
residential outdoor space, etc. Generalizing refers to the public space which is more than
just a geographical concept. The important issue is to enter the space of the people, as well
as showing in the space above the broad participation, communication and interaction.
These activities include roughly spontaneous public daily cultural leisure activities, and topdown grand political rally.
According to people's life demand, the urban public space can process transportation,
performances, exhibitions, commercial transactions, sports competitions, , holiday
gatherings sports fitness, leisure, sightseeing and interpersonal and other kinds of activities.
Public space is divided to opened space and exclusive space. Opened space has street,
street green space, parking lot, residential green space, park, etc., special public space such
as stadium.
Also refers to the space of land for public facilities such as the city, district, urban green
space, etc.
Introduction
Public space is not limited to economic or social conditions (even if the actual situation is not
necessarily so), anyone has the right to enter the place; For example, people don't have to
pay cost or buy tickets to enter, or entrances will not be discriminated just because of the
background. Shared space (Commons) is the earliest example of public space. And it seems
the "public space" private shopping center, is "personal space" (private) as an example.
Most of the street including sidewalk such as town squares and parks are known as public
spaces. Government buildings, such as public libraries and many similar buildings are public
Spaces. However, it does not mean that every building is categorized as public space.
Private space
Private or personal place offers a safety and comfortable place to take a rest. In this society,
values of personal space are very important because everyone need their own private space.
Activities that are not appropriate doing at public are carried in private. Private space can be
a space which is used for work, self-reflection, leisure and hobbies and so forth. The best
part of owning a private space is we can do whatever we want.

3. Space – RURAL
Residential areas
Private The arrangement of rural communities housing is not standardized and are
not in order. There are large unused spaces of land between houses causing the
houses to be distant from each other. Weeds grow around the houses.Building
structures are simple.
Itis a closed community where everybody knows everybody else in the area because
they have either met everyone somewhere in the small rural town or grew up there.
Parking space
Private The rural citizens park their car in their own places with no security system
or gate protections.
Public The parking space is used for parking vehicles. The main role of a parking
space is to allow people to park their vehicles. Rural areas do not have an efficient
parking system, so people park theirvehicles anywhere without any safety
precautions.

4. Park pavilion
Public A pavilion is used to adorn a garden landscape sketch.
It is a place where people can take a rest and spend their leisure time calmly while
enjoying the scenery.
Commercial buildings
Mini market
Public People are not able to purchase and enjoy luxurious itemsin a rural
community most of the time but they can buy some daily supplies at mini market.
The goods sell from Mini market in JandaBaik is quite expensive because JandaBaik
is a Malay village surrounded by thick rainforests, they have to import the goods from
city.
Restaurant
Public  You might can enjoy the local flavor food in JandaBaik restaurant. The food
are scrumptious and formed a compelling unique style.

Residential buildings
Private Suburban residential buildings offer people a place to live in and acts as a
shelter from rain and many other burdens that people face every day. These
buildings are usually under a unit sharing basis, where residences can share a unit
as a family or even with random strangers. Buildings like this are much more
affordable and are built to be space conscious. They have many floors to hold many
more units upwards unlike bungalows or terraces where they take up a lot of space
and provide almost the same amount of space to people.

8. Guardhouse
Private A guardhouse is a building that is specifically built to house one or more
guards to ensure the safety of the residence that a guard house is situated in.
Guardhouses are usually situated in front of the residential areas mainly just to allow
entrance for residences of the area. In other cases, where there are the likelihood of
visitors, they will allow these visitors to enter the premises after the showing of their
identification. Some of these guardhouses act as a security control room where they
monitor the surroundings of the residential area.
Commercial Buildings
Bank:
Public Public Bank, Maybank, CIMB, HSBC, Alliance, Ambank.
Suburban areas usually have banks around it. Banks act as financial institutions that
channel money into lending activities, accept deposits, providing loans, discounting
of bills of exchange, overdraft, investment of funds, miscellaneous and agency
functions. It is convenient for citizens to save their money and also to transfer their
money to others.

9. Shopping Mall:
1 Mont Kiara Mall.
Public A shopping mall is a building that is built along with many shopping lots
offering various types of services. The stores are connected by walkways so that
consumers can simply walk in between the stores. The malls in Mont Kiara are built
in an open-air format.The convenience of having so many services in one single
location is the reason of people like to visit malls.
Education Buildings:
Mont’ Kiara International School, Garden International School.
Public Schools are a main sub-category under education buildings as they offer
children and teenagers the education they need as well as provide adults a reaching
position in the education industry. Schools are built in with classrooms for education
distribution among students of different age gaps and also offices for teachers to
carry out their work. These number of classrooms and offices would eventually
accumulate in one place, making schools big in size. From what is observed in Mont
Kiara, there are many houses and residential areas which only prove that education
buildings are one of the suburban’s public spaces.
