ACKNOWLEDGEMENT “If I think of research as a journey to reach my final destination, undertaking this study has been a challenging, but a wonderful experience. I would say my previous studies (degree and master in Applied Biology) in the laboratory are entirely quantitative. Therefore, making a leap from a purely laboratory research towards understanding abstract things that cannot be measured quantitatively have been really difficult, but a worthy lesson. More importantly, I have met many wonderful people along the way!” (Researcher’s thought) My greatest thanksgiving to Almighty God for an unending strength and solitude throughout my PhD journey.

We used Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation data to estimate mangrove above-ground biomass (AGB) in Sabah, Malaysian northern Borneo. We developed a tree-level approach to deal with the substantial temporal discrepancy between the SRTM data and the mangrove’s field measurements. We predicted the annual growth of diameter at breast height and adjusted the field measurements to the SRTM data acquisition year to estimate the field AGB. A canopy height model (CHM) was derived by correcting the SRTM data with ground elevation. Regression analyses between the estimated AGB and SRTM CHM produced an estimation model (R2: 0.61) with 1 a root mean square error (RMSE) of 8.24 Mg ha− (RMSE%: 5.47).

  • Solid Waste Generation and Composition at Water Villages in Sabah, Malaysia
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 23, No. 5 (2014), 1475-1481 Original Research Solid Waste Generation and Composition at Water Villages in Sabah, Malaysia Fatma Sabariah Alias, Latifah Abd Manaf*, Sabrina J. Ho Abdullah, Mariani Ho Nyuk Onn @ Ariffin Faculty of Environmental Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia Received: 9 September 2013 Accepted: 14 January 2014 Abstract Life in an estuary and at the beach are unique settlement patterns in the history of Malaysia. Sabah is well known for its water village settlements that are built on wooden pillars and which can be found along Sabah coastal water. However, a lot of problems have occurred at the Sabah water villages. Thus, the aim of this study is to measure the solid waste generation and composition in 150 households at select water villages in Sabah, Malaysia. The study was conducted at three major towns in Sabah, namely Kampung Tanjung Batu Laut, Tawau water village, Kampung Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu water village and Kampung Sim-sim, Sandakan water village. Based on the results, the total waste generation is 1519.30 kg and the average solid waste generation rate per household is 0.29 kg/person/day. The main component of solid waste is food waste, which comprises 37% of the total waste generated, followed by plastic waste at 31%, paper waste 14.7%, glass 7.2%, and metal 6.3%. The remainder (3.8%) includes bulky waste, furniture, wood, etc. Although the solid waste generation rate is comparatively low, it will create a negative impact on the environment and pub- lic health if proper management of solid waste is not practiced.

  • Development of Malaysian Homestay Tourism: a Review
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Development of Malaysian Homestay Tourism: A Review Huda Farhana Mohamad Muslim*・ Shinya Numata* ・ Noor Azlin Yahya** Abstract Malaysian homestay tourism is a type of community-based tourism (CBT) that differs from homestay tourism in other regions. The homestay accommodation program is a unique tourism product enabling tourists to experience the culture and lifestyle of local people. Homestays are intended to attract tourists with a certain demographic profile who desire authentic experiences. Thus far, the commitment to homestay development has involved the establishment of comprehensive planning, the construction of infrastructure, and the promotion of Malaysia. However, the homestay business can also contribute significant supplemental income to local people and can instill mindfulness regarding preserving the cultural legacy of Malaysia. Therefore, homestays are a potentially a pro-poor tourism strategy, as well as an ecotourism tool to enhance local quality of life and social capital in Malaysia. Keyword(s): community-based, homestay tourism, Malaysia, development. I. Homestay tourism: definition, history, and by offering a combination of natural, cultural, and human overview experiences (Othman, Sazali, and Mohamed, 2013). Rural ‘“Homestay” refers to “a type of accommodation homestays allow guests to glimpse the daily lives of where tourists or guests pay to stay in private homes, village residents, enabling them to experience a local where interaction with a host and/or family, who usually community in ways that differ from conventional tourism live on the premises and with whom the public space is, to interactions and settings (Dolezal, 2011).

    CCOP-GSJ Groundwater Project Report GW-9 Report of the CCOP-GSJ-DGR Groundwater Project Phase III Meeting 13-15 February 2019, Chiang Mai, Thailand Technical Report of the CCOP-GSJ Groundwater Project Phase III COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR GEOSCIENCE PROGRAMMES IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (CCOP) in cooperation with GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF JAPAN (GSJ), AIST Published by Geological Survey of Japan and CCOP Technical Secretariat Youhei Uchida (Chief Editor) I. PREFACE Groundwater is one of the limited natural resources on the earth. Mainly due to ignorance about its importance, humans have caused various groundwater issues by their activities especially in the late 20th century. Today, land subsidence, seawater intrusion, and groundwater pollution by toxic substances are serious problems everywhere in the world. The countries in the East and Southeast Asia also have faced many groundwater problems which need international cooperation to be solved. The CCOP-GSJ Groundwater Project was launched aiming to provide some solutions for groundwater management in the CCOP region. The Groundwater Project Phase III started in February 2015 aiming at the development of groundwater database in the CCOP region and three groups, the DB Groups I and II, and the Public Policy Group were formed to promote the project smoothly. The CCOP-GSJ-DGR Groundwater Project Phase III Meeting was held in Chiang Mai, Thailand on 13-15 February 2019. It was the final project meeting for the Phase III and attended by 27 participants from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and the CCOP Technical Secretariat. In the meeting, participants confirmed the progress of the project from March 2018 to February 2019, and discussed the outcome of the Phase III including the publication of this technical report (GW-9).

  • Conservation of a Socio-Ecological System: Indigenous Hunting Communities and Bearded Pigs in Malaysian Borneo
    Conservation of a socio-ecological system: Indigenous hunting communities and bearded pigs in Malaysian Borneo By David J. Kurz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Justin S. Brashares, Chair Professor Matthew D. Potts Professor Claire Kremen Professor Jimmy A. McGuire Spring 2021 Abstract Conservation of a socio-ecological system: Indigenous hunting communities and bearded pigs in Malaysian Borneo by David J. Kurz Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Justin S. Brashares, Chair In a telecoupled world, people and ecosystems are intricately linked across vast spatial scales. Consumption patterns, disease, and other factors on one side of the world often reverberate powerfully to shape landscapes, socio-cultural practices, and wildlife distributions in far- removed locales. These new realities require sustainability to be fundamentally achieved at global scales in order to have lasting sustainability for people and wildlife at local and regional systems. To consider these themes, my collaborators and I study a socio-ecological system of Indigenous hunting communities and bearded pigs, a cultural keystone species, in Malaysian Borneo. In Chapter 1, we build an intellectual framework that considers the ways that telecoupling unfolds in Sabah and Sarawak, driving oil palm expansion, deforestation, and social change. In Chapter 2, we carry out single-season, single-species occupancy models for bearded pigs that show the association of both socio-cultural factors (e.g. ethnicity and hunting accessibility) as well as environmental factors (e.g.
