Is There a Premium for Proximity? Assessing the Impact of MRT on Residential Property Prices in Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
type: item
description: Urban rail transit systems such as the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) can produce a mix of beneficial and adverse effects on nearby communities, particularly for properties in close proximity to the infrastructure. This study focuses on the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT Line in Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and evaluates its influence on residential property values, taking into account both the favourable and unfavourable externalities associated with the transit system. To analyse these effects, a hedonic pricing model was applied to a dataset of residential transactions spanning from 2013 to 2019, encompassing properties situated within a 2-kilometer buffer of the SBK MRT corridor. The analysis accounts for comparable market conditions, income distribution, and housing types. The findings show that while properties near MRT stations generally experienced price increases, especially in middle- and lower-income areas, homes located extremely close to the MRT track in affluent neighbourhoods saw a decline in value. These results suggest that MRT systems can enhance residential property prices, but the benefits vary by location and socio-economic context. These findings underscore that while MRT systems can positively affect nearby residential property prices, these benefits are not uniform. The gains tend to be widespread, benefiting various neighbourhoods and housing types, whereas the downsides are more geographically limited. From a policy and urban planning perspective, the results highlight the value of integrating land value capture mechanisms and promoting transit-oriented development (TOD) strategies to harness these positive externalities more effectively.

Menyingkap Pengaruh El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) terhadap Cuaca dan Iklim di Malaysia
type: item
description: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau dan menyingkap pengaruh fenomena iklim El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) terhadap keadaan cuaca dan iklim di Malaysia, dengan memberi tumpuan khusus kepada perubahan suhu dan taburan hujan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan tinjauan literatur berbentuk ulasan naratif yang merangkumi sepuluh artikel terpilih berkaitan kajian ENSO di Malaysia daripada beberapa pangkalan data akademik. Hasil sorotan mendapati bahawa fasa El Niño secara amnya berkait dengan peningkatan suhu dan pengurangan hujan, manakala La Niña dikaitkan dengan peningkatan taburan hujan yang boleh menyebabkan banjir kilat serta kesan terhadap aktiviti marin. Para pengkaji telah menggunakan pelbagai metodologi seperti analisis statistik, analisis korelasi, serta analisis spatial berasaskan data satelit untuk menilai kesan fenomena ini. Dapatan daripada pelbagai kajian terdahulu menunjukkan bahawa fenomena ENSO memberi kesan yang signifikan terhadap corak cuaca di Malaysia, namun kesannya adalah dinamik, bergantung kepada faktor seperti lokasi, musim monsun, dan intensiti. Diharapkan artikel ini dapat memberikan kefahaman yang lebih menyeluruh kepada masyarakat serta membantu agensi berkaitan dalam usaha merancang langkah adaptasi dan mitigasi terhadap perubahan iklim ekstrem.

The Initial Findings on the Socioeconomic Impacts and Migration Patterns of the Marudi-Miri Tar-Sealed Road
type: item
description: The study investigates the socioeconomic impacts of the tar-sealed road connecting Marudi to Miri City in Sarawak, Malaysia. Before 2005, Marudi was disconnected from Miri City by road, depending solely on express boats and flights for its transportation needs. The construction of a logging road in 2005 and its subsequent upgrade to a tar-sealed road in 2019 significantly improved accessibility. This qualitative research utilises purposive sampling and employs semi-structured interviews with 20 interviewees to explore the impacts of the road. The findings reveal four primary social and economic impacts. The newly tar-sealed road has greatly enhanced patient transportation to hospitals and made travel more convenient. However, its narrow and hilly characteristics have raised safety concerns. In terms of migration, the primary factor influencing migration decisions continues to be economic opportunities. Economically, the road has altered consumer behaviour, leading to increased shopping in Miri and posing challenges for local businesses. However, it has also spurred new business developments, including national chain stores and local enterprises. The study finds that although the tar-sealed road has improved accessibility, it does not significantly influence the migration decisions of local residents. Instead, job opportunities continue to be the primary factor for migration.

Human-landscape interaction in the merapi volcanic region during the classical javanese era
type: item
description: Java, Indonesia, is one of the regions in the world that has shown human-environment interaction in volcanic landscapes since the classical era in medieval times. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the history of human-landscape interaction in Hindu-Buddhist Java 14 centuries ago. This study combines geography and history approaches. The data collected includes secondary and primary data through various data collection activities, namely literature study, document analysis, and observation. Data were analyzed using Geographic Information Systems, namely buffering and overlay techniques, supported by descriptive and historical analysis. Temples were used as a proxy to identify past settlements. There are two significant findings from this study. First, humans utilize the potential of natural resources as a form of human-landscape interaction. The utilization of natural resources is indicated by temples built close to rivers and springs and flat land in the volcanic plain. Secondly, the lives of ancient people were not free from natural disasters. This is indicated by temples that were damaged and buried by volcanic materials from the Merapi eruption. In summary, this study provides alternative information about human-landscape interaction in ancient Javanese society in the active volcanic environment of Merapi. Also, this research contributes new insights that communities living close to the main river channels are at greater risk of being affected by the dangers of the Merapi eruption. Reflection of these findings contributes to current disaster research, especially in the Merapi volcano area.

The influence of TikTok water saving competition on raising climate change awareness among students in Malaysia
type: item
description: TikTok is a popular social media platform with a large number of young users worldwide. In line with this, the Water Saving Competition on TikTok has been organized by the Water Watch Penang Association and USM, with sponsorship from the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP), since 2021. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Water Conservation Competition on TikTok in raising awareness among students in Malaysia, focusing on aspects of preparation, inspirational factors, effectiveness, and its contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A qualitative approach using thematic analysis was employed to gain an in-depth understanding, with eight participants interviewed through semi-structured sessions. The findings indicate that this TikTok competition plays a crucial role in enhancing participants' knowledge of water conservation practices. Through participation, they develop skills in time management, planning, and collaboration with peers or family members in video production. Participants gain inspiration for their water-saving videos from previous competition experiences, everyday life situations, and existing content on social media. This competition not only helps participants increase their awareness but also benefits students involved in organizing the event, as well as the TikTok community, by enriching their knowledge of more practical water-saving strategies. After taking part in the competition, participants become more efficient in practicing water conservation and feel more motivated to spread awareness to others, aligning with SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation and SDG 13: Climate Action. Such initiatives should be expanded to support efforts in enhancing climate resilience and reducing disaster risks in Malaysia.

Kajian tinjauan literatur mengenai peranan Pokok Gurah (Sapium Indicum) dalam pengurangan risiko banjir kilat di Kedah dan Kelantan, Malaysia
type: item
description: Banjir kilat merupakan salah satu bencana alam yang kerap berlaku di Malaysia dan negeri-negeri seperti Kedah dan Kelantan adalah tidak terkecuali menghadapi fenomena ini saban tahun. Bencana alam ini sering dikaitkan dengan perubahan guna tanah yang tidak terkawal, degradasi hutan riparian, dan perubahan iklim yang menyebabkan peningkatan kadar hujan luar biasa. Pokok riparian seperti pokok gurah (Sapium indicum) mempunyai keupayaan menyerap air berlebihan, menstabilkan struktur tanah di tebing sungai, dan mengurangkan kadar hakisan, menjadikannya elemen penting dalam pengurusan ekosistem sungai secara mampan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai peranan pokok gurah dalam mengurangkan risiko banjir kilat di Kedah dan Kelantan serta menganalisis kesannya terhadap kestabilan tebing sungai dan kawalan ekosistem sungai. Selain itu, kajian ini juga menekankan kepentingan dasar pemantauan dan intervensi pengurusan bagi mengawal spesies invasif yang boleh menjejaskan keseimbangan ekosistem sungai. Pendekatan Kajian Tinjauan Literatur digunakan dalam kajian ini bagi mengumpul dan menganalisis data berkaitan peranan pokok gurah dalam ekosistem sungai dan pengurangan risiko banjir kilat. Proses tinjauan literatur dijalankan dengan menggunakan pangkalan data akademik seperti Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Google Scholar, dan ScienceDirect, yang merangkumi jurnal ilmiah, laporan bencana, dan kajian kes berkaitan banjir kilat di Kedah dan Kelantan.

Diurnal Activity Patterns and Feeding Behavior of Sloth Bear (Melursus Ursinus) during Wet and Dry Seasons in Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka
type: item
description: This study examines the seasonal behavioral patterns of sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) in Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka, focusing on their activities and feeding behaviors during the dry and wet seasons. Systematic field observations were conducted to record the frequency of six key behaviors: Walking, Bedding down, Self-grooming, Fighting or Chasing, Defecation and Urination, and Hydration. Chi-squared tests were used to assess seasonal differences, revealing significant variations in Walking (χ² = 32.895, p < 0.001), Bedding down (χ² = 4.5, p = 0.034), and Fighting or Chasing (χ² = 5.444, p = 0.020). These behaviors were influenced by seasonal factors such as food and water availability, temperature, and shelter conditions. In contrast, Self-grooming, Defecation and Urination, and Hydration showed no significant seasonal differences (p > 0.05). Activity patterns indicated increased activity in the morning and afternoon, with reduced activity in the evening. Feeding duration did not differ significantly between seasons (W = 81, p = 0.535), though the distribution of feed types varied, with ants and termites being more prevalent in the wet season and berries in the dry season. These findings suggest that sloth bears adjust their behavior and feeding strategies to seasonal changes in resource availability. Understanding these patterns is essential for effective conservation and management of sloth bear populations.

Tahap literasi geografi fizikal dalam kalangan pelajar luar bandar
type: item
description: Artikel ini bertujuan mengenal pasti tahap literasi geografi fizikal dalam kalangan pelajar luar bandar dengan menjadikan salah sebuah sekolah di Daerah Muallim sebagai kajian kes. Kajian ini melibatkan tiga pemboleh ubah iaitu pengetahuan literasi istilah geografi fizikal, kemahiran membaca dan melihat, bertutur dan mendengar, serta kemahiran menulis dan mencipta berkaitan dengan geografi fizikal. Pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan reka bentuk tinjauan borang soal selidik dan temu bual digunakan dalam kajian ini. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada 52 orang pelajar tingkatan satu dan dua yang bersetuju menjadi responden secara sukarela dan bersedia menjawab soal selidik. Analisis deskriptif (frekuensi dan peratus) dan inferensi (korelasi Pearson dan ANOVA) digunakan untuk menjawab setiap persoalan kajian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan 53.26% pelajar berada pada tahap sederhana dalam pengetahuan literasi istilah geografi fizikal, sementara kemahiran membaca dan melihat, bertutur dan mendengar, menulis dan mencipta berada pada tahap baik. Keputusan ujian korelasi Pearson menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif antara kekerapan membaca buku, sumber rujukan dan minat terhadap geografi, bagi nilai r=-.152, p>.023, r=.124, p>.045 dan r=.171, p>.012 manakalak keputusan ujian ANOVA menunjukkan tiada perbezaan yang signifikan antara jantina. Secara keseluruhannya, literasi geografi fizikal pelajar berada pada tahap sederhana, dan kebolehan membaca, membaca, bertutur, mendengar, menulis, dan kreatif mereka berada pada tahap yang baik, tetapi perkadarannya masih lemah. Pihak sekolah dan Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia boleh menggunakan implikasi kajian ini untuk melaksanakan langkah-langkah yang sewajarnya bagi meningkatkan kualiti pembelajaran daripada segi literasi dan kemahiran geografi dalam kalangan pelajar.

Ketersediaan penuaian hujan bagi Kolej Kediaman Universiti Malaysia Sabah
type: item
description: Masalah kekurangan sumber air telah menjadi satu perbincangan bukan sahaja ahli akademik malahan pihak berkepentingan yang lain. Pelbagai kajian dan saranan telah dikemukakan, namun masalah kekurangan bekalan sumber air ini masih lagi tidak dapat diselesaikan. Kajian kes di Sabah, masalah kekurangan air ini tidak sahaja terjadi di kawasan luar bandar, malahan kawasan tumpuan penduduk seperti institusi pendidikan juga menerima kesannya tidak terkecuali Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). Terdapat banyak aduan dan rungutan daripada para pelajar sehingga mendapat perhatian daripada media sosial. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai kebolehtakungan air hujan bagi kolej kediaman di UMS sebagai saranan dalam mengatasi masalah sumber bekalan air mentah bagi kegunaan luar para pelajar. Kajian ini, menggunakan reka bentuk kajian kuantitatif melalui pengiraan keluasan bumbung kolej kediaman pelajar sebagai permukaan tadahan air hujan. Tiga buah kolej kediaman pelajar iaitu KKTM, KKTF, dan KKTPAR dijadikan sampel kawasan kajian. Pengiraan ini adalah berlandaskan pengiraan formula kebolehpercayaan penuaian hujan yang dibangunkan oleh NAHRIM. Daripada analisis pengiraan yang telah dilakukan, nilai kebolehtakungan air hujan adalah sebanyak 2008.29 m³ (KKTM), 1752.54 m³ (KKTF), dan 1483.28 m³ (KKTPAR). Berdasarkan nilai yang diperolehi, air tuaian hujan mampu dijadikan alternatif sebagai gantian terhadap bekalan air paip. Dari aspek komponen pula, dilihat aspek penyelenggaraan bagi mengaplikasikan Sistem Penuaian Air Hujan (SPAH) perlu ditingkatkan supaya sistem ini dapat digunakan dengan sebaiknya. Hasil akhir kajian dapat menjadi saranan kepada pihak universiti dalam menyediakan tangki takungan supaya air hujan yang turun dapat disimpan tanpa dibazirkan. Seterusnya, dapat mengurangkan kos pengurusan pihak universiti dalam pembayaran utiliti bagi UMS.

Attitude on e-waste recycling among the public in Selangor
type: item
description: Electrical and electronic waste (E-waste) is the definition of those appliances that are already used, broken, and ready to be discarded by the user. The public is seen as the backbone in ensuring the success of E-waste management through recycling activity. Hence, this cross-sectional study determined the attitude toward E-waste recycling activity among 813 respondents around Selangor. Upon completion of the chi-square analysis, there was a significant p-value <0.05 between the level of attitude among respondents with gender and educational background variables. Respondents with higher educational backgrounds and female respondents generally have a high level of attitude compared to other demographic backgrounds. It reflects that other groups of respondents require room for improvement to ensure that every group of publics achieve a high level of attitude over time. Since attitude is one of the factors that will help to improve public participation in E-waste recycling activity, this study can be used as the baseline for various stakeholders to create awareness and provide adequate information on E-waste recycling.

type: item
description: Kajian ini memberi fokus kepada pengurusan sisa banjir di Kuala Krai Kelantan yang dilakukan oleh Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT) dan penglibatan masyarakat. Dua konsep kendalian utama iaitu pengurusan bencana dan pengurusan sisa dijadikan panduan bagi mendapatkan maklumat yang diperlukan. Kawasan kajian yang dipilih ialah Taman Berkat Jaya yang mewakili kawasan bandar dan Kampung Manek Urai Lama yang mewakili kawasan luar bandar. Pemilihan kawasan adalah berdasarkan kedudukan kedua-duanya yang terletak berhampiran dengan sungai dan mempunyai tahap keterdedahan yang tinggi terhadap bencana banjir. Metod kajian yang digunakan adalah kajian kepustakaan, temubual informal dan kaedah soal selidik. Sampel kajian yang diambil ialah seramai 30 orang responden bagi setiap kawasan berdasarkan teknik persampelan rawak mudah. Analisis soal selidik yang dijalankan terhadap responden di kedua-dua kawasan menunjukkan wujud kesepaduan penglibatan antara komuniti dan pihak berwajib menguruskan sisa selepas banjir. Hasil korelasi pearson antara kesedaran masyarakat tentang kepentingan pembersihan sisa banjir menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif yang sangat kuat iaitu r = 0.934 dan nilai signifikan = 0.00 (p < 0.01). Keadaan ini menunjukkan kesedaran masyarakat untuk membersihkan sisa banjir mempengaruhi kerjasama mereka dengan PBT. Hasil dan keputusan kajian ini diharap dapat menambah baik sistem pengurusan sisa sedia ada dan perlaksanaan dasar berkaitan pengurusan sisa bencana ke arah kelestarian.

Cities in Bloom: Navigating the Journey of Urbanization in Malaysia Towards Sustainable Futures
type: item
description: Malaysia has become one of the most urbanized countries in Southeast Asia over the past few decades. This rapid urbanization has changed the social, economic, and environmental landscapes due to several factors such as population growth, economic development, and rural-urban migration. Therefore, this paper explores the evolving landscape of urbanization in Malaysia and emphasizes the urgent need for effective urban design and planning strategies to tackle the challenges of rapid growth. This study employed content analysis to examine established urban design theories from influential thinkers like Kevin Lynch, Jane Jacobs, Daniel Burnham, Le Corbusier, Janette Sadik-Khan, and Nabeel Hamdi to uncover valuable insights for enhancing urban environments. This method was selected because of its ability to systematically interpret textual data within its context. Key themes include the importance of creating mixed-use neighborhoods, designing pedestrian-friendly spaces, engaging communities, and promoting sustainable practices. With urban populations projected to reach approximately 75% of the total population by 2024, this study emphasizes the necessity for collaboration among policymakers, urban planners, and community members. By adopting a holistic approach to urban planning, Malaysia can build vibrant and resilient cities that balance growth with sustainability and reflect the unique identities of its local communities.

The Impact of Accessibility and Nuisance on Neighbourhood Satisfaction near Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT Line
type: item
description: The presence of urban rail transit can impact residents both positively and negatively, especially those who live within walking distance to this infrastructure. Positive MRT externalities such as improved accessibility from home to work and other desirable destinations may be highly valued by residents, while negative externalities such as noise and visual obstruction can be perceived as highly undesirable and, in extreme cases, lead residents to move. Hence, this study aims to determine neighbourhood satisfaction among residents living near the SBK MRT Line. In this study, multivariate regression analysis was used as an analytical tool to model the satisfaction of residents living near the SBK MRT Line. The dependent variable is perceived neighbourhood satisfaction. Individuals were surveyed on five propositions related to neighbourhood and housing satisfaction. The results suggest that the perceived neighbourhood satisfaction of residents living near the SBK MRT line is mixed. As expected, the perceived effect of improved accessibility appears to have a statistically significant influence on neighbourhood satisfaction. Factors such as satisfaction with the short walk to the nearest MRT station and improved accessibility to work by MRT have a direct effect on neighbourhood satisfaction. In addition, seven factors or variables were used to estimate the impact of MRT line nuisance on neighbourhood satisfaction. The results suggest that two factors related to perceived noise play an important role in determining neighbourhood satisfaction. More specifically, the MRT noise that can be heard at home and concern about the health effects of noise are statistically significant; both negatively influence neighbourhood satisfaction. Interestingly, however, factors related to interest in the MRT or attitudes towards riding it to work and other destinations have no statistical effect on neighbourhood satisfaction, except a perceived positive relationship between the presence …

Progress of Research on Volcanic-Geomorphology in Southeast Asia: A Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: Southeast Asia, with its large number of volcanoes, wide distribution, and high occupancy and population growth in volcanic environments, has a high potential to emerge as one of the world's centres for volcanic geomorphology studies. In this article, we present information on the progress and trends of volcanic-geomorphology research topics in Southeast Asia. This article is a systematic literature review organized by the PRISMA approach. Search keywords were determined using the PICO method. The documents reviewed were obtained from the Scopus database, with the criteria of research articles published in journals or conference proceedings, English language, and territory/area limited to Southeast Asia. A total of 214 documents were collected with these keywords and criteria. Of these, 53 articles were selected through the extraction process and continued with the review. The findings of this study show that studies on volcanic geomorphology in Southeast Asia are relatively few, even though studies on volcanoes themselves have been conducted from various perspectives. Volcanic geomorphology studies indexed in the Scopus database were conducted from 1963 to 2024. The two most discussed topics are genesis/landform and geomorphological processes that occur in landforms, while the other topics that are relatively little discussed are materials and the environment. Implementing other methods like remote sensing, geophysics, and environment often supports geomorphological survey and analysis methods.

Global Citizenship Education Elements in Geography Subject in Malaysia
type: item
description: This paper discusses Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in the geography curriculum of junior high schools in Malaysia. The purpose is to examine the extent to which GCED elements are emphasized in the secondary school geography curriculum. Topics in the syllabus that involve GCED elements are well known. However, perhaps this do not survey implementation at the school level. The study was conducted qualitatively by analyzing existing documents such as Curriculum and Assessment Standard Document (DSKP) and textbooks used by schools. The findings of the study show that there are elements of GCED in the existing geography curriculum and have been applied through direct and indirect approaches. It is in line with the Cross Curriculum Elements named as Global Sustainability and Environmental Sustainability related to Global Citizenship. With GCED elements in the existing curriculum, teachers are expected to apply GCED elements as best as possible inside and outside the classroom. Geography teachers need to be trained to master GCED so that they can identify topics that have GCED elements and can be implemented in teaching and learning either through a direct or insertion approach.

Identification of Firefly Population Areas along Sepetang River Using the Buffer Method
type: item
description: This study identifies firefly population areas along the Sepetang River using Geographic Information System (GIS) buffer analysis. The focus is on Pteroptyx tener, which thrives in mangrove ecosystems, especially around Sonneratia caseolaris (Berembang trees). Field data were collected over six months from ten stations along the river to analyze firefly abundance concerning surrounding land use and vegetation types. Buffer zones of 50, 100, and 150 meters were applied to assess the impact of environmental factors and human activities on firefly populations. The results revealed that Station 6 had the highest firefly concentration, attributed to its dense Berembang tree cover. These findings emphasize the significance of mangrove conservation for sustaining firefly habitats. This research highlights the effective use of GIS in ecological conservation and underscores the need for protective buffer zones to mitigate the impacts of urbanization on firefly populations.

ESD-SDGs in Teaching among Geography Teachers
type: item
description: Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an important agenda in schools towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to achieve UNESCO's 2030 Agenda. Both conceptual frameworks, ESD-SDGs are implemented in pedagogic activities and important to the achievement of the SDGs. The purpose of this study is to measure ESD-SDG concept in teaching, among Geography teachers. A quantitative study was conducted involving 252 samples from 350 Geography teachers in Penang through a survey method. The findings based on mean score showed as “often”carried out by Geography teachers in term of “experiential-learning (active) approach” (M=3.95, SD=0.809), “real-world learning approach” (M=3.40, SD=1.065) and “critical-problem solving learning approach” (M=3.53, SD=1.011). Geography teachers implemented the “experiential-learning (active) approach” in teaching by “Emphasis on sustainable living”, “Cultivate the value of appreciating all life and nature” and “Spread the ideals of harmony, peace, and respect for one another". Furthermore, teachers choose “sometime” in implementing the global citizenship project based on the “Real-world learning approach”. As a worldwide need to teach and promote students about sustainable development (SD) in line with SDG4.7, the findings of the study show that the pedagogical approach to sustainable development towards the implementation of the ESD-SDGs concept is insufficient and needs to be improved especially students-centered learning (SCL) in the teaching approach.

type: item
description: This study aims to identify the quality of school bus services in the city of Alor Setar and the city of Jitra, Kedah based on six criteria: safety, availability/time, cost, comfort, physical condition, and convenience. The study employed a quantitative approach and a questionnaire survey design. The respondents consisted of 62 students of SMK Tengku Laksamana, Alor Setar, and 34 students of SMK Tanjung Pauh, Jitra, who used the school bus service. We conducted descriptive analysis (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential analysis (Chi-Square test) to identify differences in service quality between the two schools. A study showed that SMK Tengku Laksamana has better service quality than SMK Tanjung Pauh in all six areas: safety (4.20), availability/time (4.27), cost (4.25), comfort (4.14), physical (4.46), and convenience (3.77). The safety score was 3.27, availability/time (2.92), cost (3.19), comfort (2.99), physical (3.55), and convenience (3.31). The Chi-Square Test found that there was no significant difference for safety criteria between the two schools (p > 0.05). However, other criteria such as time availability, cost, comfort, physicality, and convenience show significant differences (p < 0.05), which indicates that there is a difference in the quality of school bus services in Alor Setar and Jitra. In conclusion, the quality of school bus service at SMK Tengku Laksamana is better than at SMK Tanjung Pauh. This study recommends enhancing the school bus service at SMK Tanjung Pauh, particularly in areas such as physical condition, convenience, cost, and comfort. Authorities and school bus service managers need to consider this finding in order to improve service quality and increase user satisfaction.

Preliminary Survey of The Influence of RURBAN Phenomenon on Rural Development in Mukim Telok Panglima Garang
type: item
description: The development of cities and the process of urbanisation have caused urban development boundaries to be exceeded. The trend of development shifting away from cities has put pressure on peri-urban and rural areas. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of RURBAN afftecting villages in Mukim Telok Panglima Garang, Kuala Langat. Secondary and primary data were analysed to assess the extent of the impact of the RURBAN phenomenon on these villages. RURBAN is the phenomenon where rural areas undergo gradual urbanisation. Urban-like amenities equip villages to meet the needs of their residen. Due to urbanisation, distance is no longer a barrier, and transportation systems have facilitated daily activities. Observations and field studies indicate a current trend of converting agricultural land into residential areas to meet housing demands in the market. Factors such as industrial area development, high property prices in cities, and comprehensive road networks have further accelerated the construction of residential estates developed through pocket developments. Consequently, the growing population has led to shortage of basic amenities. To balance urbanisation and rural development, a renewal plan and guidelines are necessary to ensure the preservation of the village’s identity and prevent its disappearance.

Management of E-Waste in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah: A Study on Stakeholder Engagement Using an Ecological Approach
type: item
description: E-waste (electrical and electronic waste) is a significant environmental concern, both now and in the future, as it is the most widely produced solid waste worldwide. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of the e-waste produced (17%) is officially collected and recycled. This is concerning because most electronic equipment contains toxic substances, such as lead and mercury, which can be very dangerous if released into the environment. To address this issue, it is important to involve all stakeholders in the e-waste recycling program. Every stakeholder has an important role to play in ensuring that the program is effective. A study was conducted in the city of Kota Kinabalu to identify the roles and issues faced by stakeholders in e-waste recycling activities. The research involved representatives from the population, government agencies, NGOs and private entities. The data was collected using an interview guide form, and the results were categorized into two themes: the roles and issues faced by each stakeholder. An ecological conceptual framework has been used to identify the linkages between all stakeholders involved in the issue of e-waste recycling. In general, the success of the e-waste recycling programme depends mainly on the involvement of all stakeholders. However, there are several obstacles to such involvement, including unclear rules for private entities by government agencies, lack of infrastructure for residents, and inconsistencies in programs by NGOs. Therefore, it is important to address these research findings to ensure progress in the e-waste recycling program. The issues identified in the study must be addressed, as they have a significant impact on the success of the programme.

Influence of Spatial Geography in By-Elections Post 15th General Election in Malaysia
type: item
description: Spatial geography refers to the spatial environment in influencing certain physical and human aspects. Spatial geography can influence a voting pattern in terms of urban-rural position, physical geography, housing geography and ethnic geography. Thus, it is the purpose of writing this paper to analyse the influence of spatial geography in the post-GE-15 By-Election. The writing of this article used a quantitative method which is based on the score sheet of the election results according to the channel and voting district; and the qualitative method which is the analysis of secondary information which is journal writing, seminar materials and relevant academic books. The results of the study found that the voting pattern in By-Election post GE-15 based on spatial geography was influenced by the ethnic geography of an area in the post-GE-15 By-Election. continue to support Pakatan Harapan (PH). Malay voters are more inclined to support PN because the component parties in PN namely PAS and BERSATU are seen as more ultra-identity (racial and religious) as a replacement for UMNO and are seen as more serious in fighting for and defending Malay and Islamic sovereignty. Non-Malay voters are more comfortable supporting PH because of its moderate political ideology and the fight for justice and equal rights of all races that the party is fighting for. Thus, the influence of ethnic geography dominates voter support patterns more than spatial geography.

Rural Communities in the Small-Scale Agriculture Sector: Adaptations and Experiences in Navigating The COVID-19 Pandemic
type: item
description: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the economic and social well-being of communities globally in various aspects, including rural communities involved in the small-scale agriculture sector. This study aims to assess how rural communities in the small-scale agriculture sector are adapting and overcoming the challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as identify lessons that can be learned from them to be paid attention to in planning for rural development and the future agricultural sector. This study is a quantitative study that uses a survey study design. The data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 72 heads of households directly involved in the smallholder agriculture sector in two villages located in rural Sabah. The findings of the study found that respondents faced difficult situations such as limited access to the market and agricultural products that could not be marketed. In addition, it was found that there was also a surplus and wastage of agricultural products, disruptions in the food supply chain and abandoned crops. However, the study also found that respondents used various strategies to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the main ones are exploring potential alternative marketing channels, exploring new agricultural areas and restoring old abandoned agricultural areas, processing surplus agricultural products, practicing the exchange of agricultural products with neighbours and reducing movement to the garden by spending the night in the garden. In line with the findings of the study, it is important for the government to work hand in hand with rural communities and the private sector to develop a systematic distribution and marketing network system for agricultural products in rural areas, emphasizing efforts to strengthen the reach of rural communities to basic infrastructure, increasing the coverage of digital technology, and establishing centers of agricultural product processing activities in rural …

The Impact of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) System on Land Use Change Patterns in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur
type: item
description: The rapid urbanization process in cities has led to the development of the urban transport system, which in turn has changed the land use patterns in these areas. This has resulted in significant road congestion issues during peak hours. The population in Klang and Petaling Jaya is 3.3 million, and this figure will increase over time. To reduce this issue, the government has spent 23 billion ringgit to build rail transport, with MRT as the alternative transport. MRT subsequently reduces the use of private vehicles in the city and has other indirect impacts. The change in land use patterns along its route is one of the indirect effects. Thus, the objective of this article is to analyze the changes in land use patterns that may occur due to the construction of the MRT system in Cheras between 2010 and 2020. The study utilized Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite images for the years 2010 and 2020, in addition to secondary data. We classified land use into five classes: built-up, open land, forest, agriculture, and water bodies. This simplifies the management, planning, and standardization of land use. The findings of the study show that there is a change in land use patterns, which is 87.34% for built-up areas, -94.49% for water bodies, 3904.81% for forests, -92.77% for agriculture, and -0.82% for open land. We can conclude that the construction of the MRT system has resulted in a shift in land use patterns in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

The Effectiveness of Malaysia's Climate Change Policy: An Analysis of the Performance of Low Carbon Development Implementation (2010-2020)
type: item
description: This article examines Malaysia's response to the challenges of climate change after a decade of implementation of the National Climate Change Policy. The evaluation of the effectiveness of Malaysia's Climate Change Policy is still lacking in identifying the shortcomings of a policy to serve as a reference for the formulation of new policies, especially those related to climate change policies in Malaysia. Through the analysis of secondary data from government reports, scholarly publications, and international data sources, the study aims to assess Malaysia's success in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, raising public awareness, and adapting to climate change. By using a document analysis approach, the study found that there has been an increase in emissions from several sectors, but there has been significant progress in reducing emissions through renewable energy initiatives and energy efficiency policies. The results of this study show that Malaysia's Climate Change Policy has strengthened the country's ability to adapt to climate change. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating more effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. The implications of this study are important for the development of knowledge and the formulation of public policies that are more responsive to global and local climate change challenges. The study recommends that Malaysia continue to scale up mitigation and adaptation efforts, with a focus on improving the efficiency of resource use and the application of environmentally friendly technologies to support sustainable and low-carbon development.
