S2CP  was  renewed  with  minor  maintenance  process  of  mostly  repainting  jobs,  vandalized
             structure rectification and crack rectification (refer figure 3.2). Based on the findings from S2CP plan
             evaluation, the CFFC involved were the maintenance works such as man power to execute paint jobs
             and rectification works. This research will focus on one key indicator which is the hard landscape or
             man-made  elements  which  involved  modification.  The  soft  landscape  or  natural  elements
             modification  will  not  be  taken  into  consideration  due  to  once  the  vegetation  are  matured  they
             served as carbon sequester. Based on the plan evaluation, S2CP design characteristics did not have
             fields to be maintained. The park has only grass area that needed low mowing activity. The grass
             area is  only be trimmed  once the turf overgrown over a foot. This will lead to low frequency of
             mowing the grass and cause lower carbon footprint. Based on discreet observation, PPN has fewer
             visitors compared to S2CP. It is due to the activities offered differently in each green space. In order
             for a green space to be attractive signature activities should be imposed in a green space.
