filter, at the same time wind tunnel is created equally distributing air volume within the
site. Proximity to the river also gives the humid effect to the wind coming in this
direction.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSSES
1. Availability of basic 1. Site largely
utilities; water and undeveloped; in
electric supply need of road
2. Abundance of trees and networks, pathways,
other vegetation soil grading
3. Site high elevation;7m
above sea level

SO STRATEGIES WO STRATEGIES
OPPORTUNITIES - Minimal cost on site - effective buildings
1. site can be developed development since basic setback from the river
further since theres utilities already exists to avoid direct
not much of existing - Introduction of fishing as flooding
development alternative livelihood - Effective site
2. Site proximity to river planning for road
can be developed into networks, pathways
alternative livelihood can be implemented

ST STRATEGIES WT STRATEGIES
THREATS - Existing trees and - Building allocation
1. River widening can vegetation buffer flood avoiding area where
affect site and storm damages flooding is high as
well as where river
widening is most
likely.
