- 4. 0. Summary In this project, we are required to do an environmentalcommunity service for the benefit of the public. Though the concept of environmentalcommuinity service is not very new its has eveloped in the past few years. We took the community service as our commitment to the society and relate the community service with the environment. The process of doing the environment community service process is beneficial both for us and the society. We have chosen an Old Folks Home in Kajang, Rumah Caring Kajang as the commuinity. After the first visit to the home, we analysed the problem faced by the home and came out with the solution after discussing with our tutor. At the end of the day, we have done the mosquitoes netting, artwork on recycled pallet, signage and landscaping for them. We have get a sponsorship from Selangor Property Sdn. Bhd and SK One Stop Home Centre Sdn. Bhd has given 20% of discount on the materials that we bought when they realized we are doing an environmentcommunity service. Besides that, we have the fully supports from the community, Rumah Caring Kajang Old Folks Home and our lecturers and tutor during the process of doing this assignment. The objectives of the environment community service that we have done are as follows: ➢ to increse the awareness of current environmental issues locally ➢ to induce creativity in attemping to explore the current environmental circumstances ➢ to allow us to explore the opportunity to work with the community and for the community ➢ to create awareness of the importance of creating and environmentally sustainable product, design and services ➢ to be able to understand and the explain the principles of sustainability from environmental and social perspective Learning outcome of doing the environment community service are as follows: ➢ understand the concept of environmental and ecological sustainability ➢ complete documentation of the entire assignment with Life Cycle Assessment ➢ demonstrate problemsolving skills ➢ recognise the roles and responsibilties of an architect towards the environment and society ➢ exaemplify creativity in attempting to explore the current environmental circumstances
- 5. 1. Introduction The organization we were engage with is Rumah Caring Kajang located at Lot1202/M Taman Cahaya Sungai Chua, 43000 Kajang, Selangor. Occupying a single storey houses in a neighbourhood just beside A Wet Thai Garden which they just moved in this year during early april. It is a nonprofit organization looking into the welfare of mainly old folks and even down syndrome. Currently they are running this house taking care of 22 inmates ranging from age 21 years to 95 years old. Before they moved in to the new home in Taman Cahaya, Rumah Caring Kajang first home is two double storey houses located at Taman Muhibah taking care of old folks, single parent, orphans, down syndrome, disabled and drug rebab. They have been served eviction notices by the authority and after numerous appeals, the final notices was to move out by the end of 2015. They have been offered a piece of land at a discounted price and now they are building a new home. During that period, Rumah Caring Kajang were given a 6 year contract temporary home for the inmates to stay in and theres the place we are now helping out at Taman Cahaya. The organization was founded by Miss Wendy Yap in the year 2004 catering 50 inmates ranging from age 50 year to 95 years old inclusive of care givers. Exception intake for inmates below 50 years old will only be considered under certain criteria in terms of health and needs. Since this organization is a nonprofit organization, they are mainly supported by contribution from the public to sustain the homes and meet the needs of old folks home with better nursing, health and logistic care. They also provide them a loving and caring environment and to uphold them with moral and spiritual support. Every weekends, the organization would bring the old folks for some outings outside. Other than that, the organization also look into the welfare and needs of single mothers with children and young unmarried mother. The organization also help them emotionally and spiritually by counseling as many often tries to attempt suicide. They also help to raise funds through various activities to subsidized their monthly expenses. In addition, the organization would organize trips or outing for them and their children time to time.
- 6. 3. Project Proposal Rumah Caring Kajang is a non profit organisation. It is not very well facilitated as the organisation newly moved to a new place and does not have extra fund to build up or all facilities in the home. This causes an uncomfortable state and environment of it. For example, the environment of the house are not covered by many trees and this causes a very bad ventilation and hot in at the area. We have chosen the Old Folks House to be our organisation for this community projects as most of the senior citizens have been abandoned by the society. Volunteers nowadays are more focusing on helping the orphanage, property or the disable rather than them. This is because society are more focusing on youth. This is why we think that we have to do something for them. To give them a better and liveable environment, we decided our main focus is the empty front yard. The front yard is potentially for planting plants and landscaping design. According to our observation, the community did not have any shading in the front yard. Beside doing plantation on the yard, we also discovered a abandoned cylinder concrete. After a brainstorming, the cylinder concrete are potentially for create a DIY bench. As a next generation, we are responsible to make our environment more sustain and liveable. So, we will visit the home twice a month or once a week to checking the the plantation and landscaping remain a good condition. Beside landscaping, we also will provide Signboard, cabinet for storage, shoes racks, mural arts, bench and lighting by using the recycled materials and recyclable materials. The estimated cost the budget for this project is RM500800. We are trying to get sponsorship from Selangor Properties Sdn. Bhd. to cover the materials that could use by the recycled materials.

The infrastucture also worn and old. There are also dont have sign board and poor external appearance. There are also a lot of mosquito because of the linear skylight. The most important thing that they lack are caring. Some of them might losing their family and have a miserable pass in their life.So, we finalized out that we can help them to solve some of the problem. Our objective are made them feel warm and hope from our caring. List of their needs: caring mosquito net bench mural art Refurnish furniture landscaping sign board
- 8. Most of the old folks that live in Rumah Caring Kajang have a miserable pass and maybe losing their family. We try to give them our caring which is visit and chat with them. After we know about each of their story we also try to comfort them with some encourage talk. We also cook some delicious food for them to eat to achieve their happily. Mosquito net The hollow of linear skylight cause the mosquito fly into the house make the old folk cannot sleep well and made them got skin problem(swollen and tickle).It will also effect their healty problem. From the start we want to buy the aluminium flame directly from the shop but after decided we use the wooden which more environmental friendly for the flame to ensure that the environment is not be pollute
- 9. because to produce the aluminium release a lot of carbon dioxide.We use the wood pallet to do the flame of the mosquito net and nail it on the linear skylight. Mural artwork’s bench The exterior of the olf folk house are lack of bench for the old folk to rest, sit and chill. We try to find a cheap bench from homefurniture but the price is not cheap and it is not recycable. So, we decide to build a bench that attached along with the mural art panel by using wood padlet and unwanted tyres. Mural artwork The poor eaterior appearance make the olf folk house lake of vitality. At the start, we are struggling with the material of the board. Some of us feel that a wooden hard board from the shop is more nice compare with the wooden pallet. After some argument, we choose to use the wooden pallet which is the waste of the factory. We tear down the waste wooden pallet from the factory and reinstall them together to be a board and paint a nice mural on it.The paint also get with other mural painter since we just need to use a little amount of paint.
