 Inventory Preparation
 Inventory of parking space
 Things needed in preparing the inventory/information on parking space
 Data related to the amount of space, location and potential areas for parking.
 Detailed study area with the mark in the form of a map or plan.
 Divides the study area into several fractions according to the streets.
 Parking spaces on a smaller scale or not gazetted also be considered.

The data relating to parking facilities should be recorded as follows: -
 The number and length of the road.
 The amount of space available on the road somewhere. Location of bus stops and taxi,

 The amount and types of traffic
signs.
 Private streets.
 Vacant land, abandoned the right to
be the parking space.

9.2.3 The method of car park area usage

Term studies
 To determine the length of time that
the vehicle is placed in the study
area.
 Continuous observations need to be
conducted in all areas of the possible
car park.
 Reviewers should sit within an area
which is quite hidden for fear of
disturbing the observed values.
