Towards a Sustainable Landscape of Urban Parks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: a Study from a Management Perspective
Towards a sustainable landscape of urban parks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A study from a management perspective By: Roziya Ibrahim A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Social Science in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Landscape University of Sheffield United Kingdom May 2016 ABSTRACT Kuala Lumpur’s urban parks have evolved to fulfil the needs of its multi-cultural urban communities since the conception of its first public park in the late 19th century. Nevertheless, the management and maintenance of these tropical urban parks are currently under pressure as local authorities have no longer adequate funding to maintain the existing landscape as they have to focus on addressing the impact of environmental problems; particularly frequent flooding that has been a never-ending issue facing the city. There are growing pressures on resources, especially on water supply, in response to urbanization and population growth. Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur’s urban parks were highly dependent on potable water for landscape maintenance at a time of growing demand for this limited resource. There is a possibility that these urban parks can be managed in a more sustainable manner, which may consequently reduce their dependency on potable water resource for irrigation. They might also make a more positive contribution to managing stormwater control and increasing habitat diversity. The challenge, therefore, is to try and achieve a more sustainable, ecologically informed design and management practice without alienating park users, management, and maintenance staff. This research aims to investigate the potential of changing the design and management of Kuala Lumpur’s urban parks towards a more ecologically sustainable landscape practice. -

In Malaysia, monsoonal flood and flash flood occur respectively during the northeast monsoon and heavy rains cause the loss of life and property damages. All those rain rates will be applied into flood forecasting model such as Rainfall Runoff Inundation (RRI) model to identify the inundation areas. Some researchers had evaluated and found that the radar rain rate is highly effective in estimating average rainfall over a river basin, which is important in flood forecasting. -
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study Clean Water Is
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study Clean water is vital for our healthy living. All human beings on earth need an adequate supply of fresh and clean drinking water and it is a basic need. Still, hundreds of millions of people worldwide are lacked of clean water. Based on The United Nations World Water Development Report in 2014, there is only 2.53 percent is freshwater while the remainder is saltwater. There are about two thirds of the freshwater is being locked up in glaciers and permanent snow cover. With the population increasing, freshwater resources are in demand and even further reduced by pollution. There are some 2 million tons of waste per day are disposed of within receiving waters like industrial wastes and chemical, agricultural waste and human waste. Our world will face critical challenges in coping up with progressive water shortages and water pollution (UN, 2014). River is the life line of human settlement all over the globe. Civilizations have been founded upon the banks of rivers in the earliest times. Due to the advent of civilization and increasing human populations, the range of requirements for water has increased with higher demands for higher water quality. The river water quality has degraded by several human activities like; clearing of forests and natural vegetation for agriculture activities, timber harvesting, excessive use of fertilizers and pesticide with the development of agriculture plantations, excessive use of fertilizers and pesticide with the development of agriculture plantations in peat Klang River is located within the state of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and connected to the Straits of Malacca. -

MAHDI FK 2000 38 TIDAL EFFECTS ON THE FLOW AND CHANNEL GEOMETRY OF KLANG RIVER ESTUARY By MITHANNAD A. MARDI Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Engineering Universiti Putra Malaysia July 2000 DEDICATION TO MY WIFE AZLIN MY DAUGHTER SURA AND ALL THE FAMILY MAMBERS IN IRAQ AND .MALAYSIA 11 Abstract of thesis presented to the Senate of Universiti Putra Malaysia in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science TIDAL EFFECTS ON THE FLOW AND CHANNEL GEOMETRY OF KLANG RIVER ESTt1ARY By MUDANNAD A. MARDI July 2000 Chairman: Dr. Suleyman Aremu Muyibi Faculty: Engineering The aim of this study is to predict the Iong·term behaviour of the Klang River estuary in terms of changes in the river morphology due to tidal effect that will help plan the industrial and commercial activities within the estuaries. The main objectives were to simulate the tidal effect on channel geometry, and the flow (water level) by using a mathematical modelling of finite difference approach (MIKE 11) as well as analysis of available data. The input data for MIKE 11 was the tide water level at port Klang and the probable discharge at Kota Bridge for ARIlOO, 70,50,10 from previous report and the cross section for 1993 survey. Changes in river morphology were evaluated by dividing Klang River estuary into five sections based on the available data for the cross section throughout the year. -
