IDS group 13 go Green resort @ ubin Leader: Kenneth Yuen 2O232 Members: John Phua 2O225 Joshua Loh 2O223 Emil Lim 2O208

GG Resort @ Pulau Ubin Our Green Resort! We plan to build our green resort at the Noordin beach of Pulau Ubin. Our Green Resort! Our resort will be: 100m from Noordin Beach At least 200m away from NPCC Campsite Around 1.5km from the jetty

Features of our wonderful resort Flora and fauna of Noordin Beach Growing more different orchid hybrids near the beach Growing of mangrove trees to hold the soil near the beach. Leisure Activities Sandy beach for engaging volleyball match BBQ Huts designed for BBQ-ing

Features of our wonderful resort Beautiful Scenery Being a waterfront resort, luxuriate in front of the sunrise and sunsets Solar Heating 1: Heating water in bathrooms 2: “Hot Springs” Design near the Abandoned Fishery

Features of our wonderful resort Cooling Enjoy the land breeze at night and the sea breeze in the day Ensure visitors to have a cooling atmosphere at their resorts Energy-saving light bulbs and fan using FREE electricity Cool eh?

Energy Supply Solar Panels Noordin Beach receives abundant amount of sunlight. Abundant amount of sunlight will ensure more efficient generation of electricity from solar energy. Hence, we plan to build solar panels on the roof of our “Green Resort”. Solar energy is a green source of energy. Although it is quite expensive, it is very cost-efficient because after the solar panels are build, the electricity generated will be free, so it is a kind of investment. Also, one of the toilets already has it, so it is possible.

Energy Supply Tidal Barrages At the Noordin beach, the waves are destructive at an average frequency of 20. Hence we plan to build a tidal barrage at the sea to generate electricity to run our “Green Resort”. Tidal energy is renewable and reliable and does not produce any waste so it is very appropriate for our resort. The tidal barrage also acts as a form of coastal protection to protect the beach from being eroded.

Energy Supply Gym Facilities Workout stations such as the Bicycle and the running track will be able to produce electricity through kinetic energy. In case of rainy days, whereby tourists/visitors have to stay at resort for almost the whole day. Supplementary Energy Source

Energy Supply Magnetic Power Plant Repulsion of the magnets causes the magnets to spin forever. This can be a power source for every individual unit in the resort. This can be used to power the Energy-saving light bulbs and the fan. Main Energy Source

Our Resort will look like this… REFER TO VISUALISER

Coastal Management Heavy soil erosion @ Noordin Beach Beach Nourishment Cost-effective Sustainable (Long term protection) Medium-grained sand from Mamam Beach (Just to touch up the sand at the beach) Building of tidal barrages/groynes to control the flow of waves hitting the beach

Green Building Methods Wood/ Palm Leaves from Coconut Trees A certain area of forests will have to be cleared for space to build the resort. Wooden BBQ huts with palm leaves as roofs Concrete The rest of the resort will have to be built using concrete Wood under the humidity of the island will rot Prone to termite attacks, requiring frequent replacement

What the trail looks like…

Green Transport Solar-Powered Buggy Solar Panels on the rooftops of buggy Cut down trees grown very near to the road and blocks sunlight Bicycles Retain the kampong feel of riding a bike in a village Cycling to nearby places

Trail Attractions Ubin Quarry Biodiversity, e.g. Monitor Lizards awaits you! Kekek Quarry With Govt decision of redeveloping Kekek for quarrying activity again Expose tourists to how quarrying is like in previous days. Jetty Enjoy seafood so salty tasty, you can never find in Singapore ! Abandoned Fishery Allow tourists to catch their own fish(es)/seafood reared by us and BBQ it at our huts. Chek Jawa/Balai Quarry/Mamam Beach Tourists given the choice to explore Chek Jawa on their own!! Magnetic Power Plant to be built near the Balai Quarry.

So why us and not the MaMa resort ( Sihao’s group)? Firstly, Mamam when spelt backwards is still Mamam. (No creativity ) Trails: Nature trail Close encounter with cute monitor lizards and dangerous friendly wild boars. Unique point of our trail: Our professional and enthusiastic student- geologists got lost and have found a place with scenic view ! The place is near our resort. Thus, our nature trail will include this location. HOWEVER, getting there is not an easy task as the path is laden with muddy pathways and small ‘rivers’.
