Description
Summary:Since 1978, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has been based in Skudai, Johor, and has had a significant impact on the district's development. However, the presence of a sizable conservation campus community has led in segregation on Dusun UTM amongst its neighbouring communities. Although there have been numerous study studies on street connectivity, there is a literature gap on street integration with the community of Skudai, Johor using space syntax. Using space syntax as a tool, this research investigates the idea of linking and uplifting communities through the connectivity of people in developing a new gateway for the Dusun UTM. The communities studied in this study are those in the Skudai section of UTM Technovation Park. The methodology for analysing community connectivity and integration is based on a quantitative approach using space syntax. The paper's results include the amount of street integration of Jalan Pontian Lama with its surrounding neighbourhood, which will be useful to future university scholars.
