The development potential of shopping centre In Kuala Terengganu / Siti Maisarah Mohd Noor

This study is about development potential which is closely related to the planning of a place, either town country or region. It is the balance between values to be added to property by means of development and the costs that this action implies. Establishing development potential of a property would be impossible without accurate estimations of all, direct or indirect costs. Through this study, the researcher might establish some possible aims to be achieved such as to discuss on the cause for the absence of shopping centre in Kuala Terengganu. With the absence of the high end type of shopping centre, the researcher had been trying to identify its development potential in order to ensure whether there might be or not any potential on developing such shopping centre. Thus, the researcher investigated on the demand for that type of shopping mail within the area of Kuala Terengganu through the distribution of questionnaires to the people as the respondents. As the answers to all of the targeted aims, the researcher finally found out the related causes and one of it is the insufficiënt zoning for the commercial purpose. Additionally, most of the developed commercial properties in the zoned area were built with neighbourhood and outlet centres, without much space for the development of shopping mails. However, there are still many demands from the people towards the shopping mail and their demands are counted as one of the contributor to the potential for developing a property. So, this study can be concluded as arriving to its aims by the researcher, thus it is hoped that this academie project with the case study of Kuala Terengganu will be used as reference tbr future development in Kuala Terengganu.
