•  The impact of the development is its expiry pocket traditional villages
•  destroy the neighborhood atmosphere and the sensitivity of the area to the original settlement
•  affect the quality and lifestyle of people living in the suburbs in the metropolitan region.
• Many traditional villages on the outskirts of the metropolitan region is considered as a monument or symbol of rural community

     2. The imbalance of the population (either in terms of race and status) are significant in home ownership, especially in new housing areas are built on the edge of metropolitan.

 4. environmentally sensitive areas on the edge of metropolitan such as water catchment areas, slopes, and forest reserves.Development processes are not careful will disturb the soil structure that may cause the soil to settle, soil erosion and flash floods, especially in the traditional settlement
