| Abstract | This paper analyses the town image and the mental mapping of the structured village at Gelugor, Penang, on five urban design elements, which are the path, edge, district, node, and landmark. Observation, data collection and fieldwork survey are the methods applied in the study. The study finds that Taman Tun Sardon and structural village in Gelugor have a masterplan with gridiron design, which makes the site systematically arranged. The gridiron concept forms primary road networks and linkages with vehicular paths, which make the site well connected. The path becomes the most dominant element in this study. This study shows that structured village at Gelugor has an urban design with regular gridiron urban layout, which provides good circulation in the area. The gridiron pattern then becomes distortion at Taman Tun Sardon area due to the hilly topography of the site. The paths formed by the gridiron layout have enabled a clear definition of the district in the structured village at Gelugor. The path is the most dominant element in the study area. Besides, the study shows that there is a lack of quality nodes and landmarks available in the study area. |
