Results from the analysis show the level of awareness for wind flow assessment in urban development (Malaysia) is very important to improve the quality of our life. As conclusion, planning guidelines of residential areas must consider all aspect of wind flow because of global warming in order to provide more comfortable life for citizen. 2010-11 Undergraduates Project Papers NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/3341/1/NG_SOO_NEE_KERRY_NG.PDF Ng, Soo Nee @ Kerry Ng (2010) Level of awareness for wind flow assessment in urban development (Malaysia).
