Parking standard should be established for recreational area at Putrajaya in order to enhance the existing parking spaces provided and design of the parking lot. The establishment of the parking standard could help the Putrajaya to redesign parking so that the remaining area can be allocates with other facilities. Types of facilities are such as provided public phone, upgrading transportation system and so on. This standard is proposed to easy Putrajaya Holdings (PjH) to make a comparison for future parking design. In other hand, this standard could be used as a reference for other recreational area since merely three places are focused in this project which is Botanical Garden, Wetland Park and Dataran Putra. In addition, it also reduces traffic congestion and illegallyparked vehicles at the entranceand curb parkingspace. A few of literature review was done on various aspect such as parking study, process on how parking standard establish and some history about Garden City concept that applied at Putrajaya. Beside that, some information was obtained by interviewing an expertise and engineers that contributed their ideas in designing of Putrajaya. The results of the project are clearly discussed in chapter four of the report. In this chapter, some analysis from the survey conducted was explained which will shows the pattern of parking lot occupied and it's contribute an information for propose parking standard. The data from the parking surveyhas been analyzedand included in this part. The final chapter of this report will conclude the findings of the project and some recommendation that could be taken for the project improvement.
