Also Pasar Seni area is mostly commercial used zone, however it is still mixed used area due to educational and cultural places here. Place big value is that- there are two importantpublic culture spots here. Public transportation is quite well developed, although the distances between the nearest bus stops and stations is not small
- 12. 2.1 SiteInventoryandAnalysis Mostly in Pasar Seni area working and studying here locals and a lot of tourists are gathered , as well as homeless people sometimes. Noise Level In this area is mostly high on Hang Lekir , Jalan Sultan and Jalan Petaling, however on inner streets it is more quietly and noise level is medium. These streets are Tun H S Lee and few small streets between buildings. In my focused area as it can be seen noise level Is medium. The sun reaches its peak on the focused site about 11.30 and already at 2.30 going down. Sunny side during daytime on Tun H S Lee street is public bank and Sri Maha Marianman temple side, which is making people avoid walking this area during sun peak time.

Pedestrian footpaths are well connected also, but can be improved to make more comfortable walking and resting place for people. Tun H S Lee street pedestrian and vehicle pathes are secondary. That means that traffic flow here is often medium, despite on it there is always lack of parking space problem.
- 14. 2.1 SiteInventoryandAnalysis Tun H S Lee street surroundingarea has wide range of building heights and ages. Despite on variety of buildings and its styles, this area is not very attractive for people. This caused from not balanced streets design and opportunities for people.

The number one problem is illegal car parking on sidewalks despite on the medium car flow, the second problem is the lack of amenities for street use by people, such feeling that that street is created for cars not for people. The third problem is the untidiness of the street which also repels people. The last and very importantis the destruction of the historical heritage and also not attractive street view for people.

Case study is an ideal methodology when a holistic, in-depth investigation is needed. ( Feagin, Orum, & Sjoberg, 1991 ). Case studies can be and must be used in teaching and research both, because it is very importantto rely on confirmed facts and things. Case study allows people to explore and understand how different things are workingin real life In other words case study is an already proven and tested useful examples from any study or research area. Case studies making things clear, proven and balanced. Case study is one of the most importantthings in research, because it is the connection between user and researcher. Well designed project, that is not well explained will cause the research to fall. That’s why it is very important to involve case studies in the project research.

- 23. 4.2 Preservationis green- Kentucky repair : rehab : re-use Sustainable development is “ development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generationsto meet their own needs. “ To be environmentally sustainable or green buildings should: 1 use energy and other nature sources efficiently 2 protect occupantshealth 3 reduce pollution and environmental harm Too often there is an opinion that demolition of existing buildings and new constructionis a sustainable decision. But is it true? Preserving and reusing buildings preserves the energy and reduces the need for new raw materials. But when existing buildings are demolished, energy is wasted as well as building materials are discarded in landfills. Each year, millions of construction related materials are dumped in landfills, accounting for nearly one third of nation’s total solid waste. *1987, U.N. Bruntland Commission‟s report, Our Common Future. Aim: to preserve naturalresources as well as energy Who introduced? Kentucky heritage Council When introduced? 2011 Why is it working? Itis easier and cheaper in both in terms of money and in terms of preserving the environment, moreover such buildings have big cultural value and background.
