● Zone divisions may need to consider the natural layout of the site, such as

terrain, existing water features, rocky areas, or regions with dense vegetation.

● Each zone should be enclosed with fencing or walls, which should be

concealed or blended into the environment to maintain the natural look of the
zoo and remain unseen by visitors.

● Install dedicated CCTV systems for each zone, with feeds routed to at least

two separate control rooms for enhanced security monitoring.

● Each entry and exit point of a zone should feature a trough filled with

disinfectant to hinder the spread of infections from one zone to another.

● The gates of each zone should be equipped with an alarm and a warning light

to alert visitors and staff promptly in case of an emergency within that zone.

5.2 Design Recommendations for Circulation

5.2.1 Primary Circulation

● These are expansive roads, typically ranging from 6 to 9 meters in width,

designed to form a loop or multiple loops connecting all enclosures within the
zoo.

● The design characteristics of these roads are defined by the choice of surface

materials such as stone, asphalt, or concrete, and edge conditions that may

include curbs or no curbs.
● The design incorporates an effective drainage system, which can be either

surface-based or underground.

● Additional landscape features along these roads include seating, drinking

water facilities, toilet facilities, and waste bins.
● It's important to separate visitor viewing areas from the main pedestrian path

to manage different movement patterns—active circulation on the main path

versus stationary or slow movement in viewing areas.
