Tree Height 16 feet

Drainage System Where the rain drains into.

Parking lot 80% of the parking lot is filled.

Where the base of the trees are and are surrounded by concrete.

Mall Shoppers Satisfied? They seemed satisfied about the mall

and the location seemed very convent.

They all agreed that the mall had strengths as well as some weaknesses.

Environmental ProblemsThings that we noticed about the environment that surrounded the mall where the plants that were located closer to the mall seem dead and haven't been taken care of.

Residential Problems One minus about the mall is more crime

rate is much higher. From teenagers trying to steal items from the mall to rioting teenagers trying to fight in the parking lots.

Community Role People come to shop, communicate with

others, and also to grab a quick convent lunch with friends.

Negative Environmental Problems Minimized Make sure that every piece of trash is

placed where it belongs IN THE TRASH CAN !!

Also by having small recycle bins that are located in and outside the mall.

Small or Large? One large shopping center is more

convent and more environmental friendly we think.

That would eliminate more cars being on the road and more fuel being burned to go to one small store to another one.

Designing a new mall If we where designing a more effective

environmental friendly mall we would include many windows for natural lighting.

Cleaner

Include a lot of plant life to make the mall more presentable.

Construction before the mall There where roads built to more

accommodate the mall. As well as roads widen capable for holding more traffic into accessing the mall.

Stores There are a total of 93 stores located

inside of South Dekalb Mall.

Those stores include shoe stores, clothing stores , Jewelry stores , and also department stores.

Before South DeKalb Mall We are pretty sure that there was land

before the mall was place there. But technology doesn’t let us go back that far and all people interview couldn’t tell us what was there before the mall. South DeKalb has been there for 40 years.

So plant life and animals habitats where destroyed to create this mall.

WildlifeMost common wildlife we saw present where birds.

Deer or any large animals can not survive do to busy streets and large human interactions which has probably driven them off over the years.

The END! Thanks !
