Adventure Tourism in Selangor: Explore, Experience and Enjoy!
ADVENTURE TOURISM IN SELANGOR: EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE AND ENJOY! By Nurul Azlyna (CIFP,Bach. Of Acc (Hons), CMI) LET’S HIT THE ROAD Millions of people travel across the world every year and thus, making the tourism industry as a key role in the global economy. According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the industry accounted for 10.4% of global GDP and 319 million jobs, or 10% of total employment in 2018. Travellers travel with different purposes where some people travel for leisure or business while some travel due to specific interest such as medical or religion. Given the different purposes, tourism industry has been classified into various types to cater to the needs and preferences of all types of tourists. The following are the categories of tourism1: a. Leisure Under this purpose, travellers simply want to enjoy new experience of a destination and devoting their holiday to rest and relaxation. These tourists prefer to stay in some quiet and relaxed destination preferably at a hill resort, beach resort or island resort. b. Business The travellers’ main motive for travel is for work purpose such as attending a business meeting, conferences, conventions selling products, meeting clients. Business tourism is popularly known as MICE (Meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) tourism. c. Special Interest Interestingly, some people travel for special reasons such as religions, medical, education, hobbies and cultural. Under medical tourism for example, travellers go to places such as recommended specialist centre seeking for medical treatment. Meanwhile, the adventurous groups usually travel to spots that are popular for adventure activities such as bungee jumping or whale- 1 National Institute of Open Schooling watch. -

Seasonal Variability of Groundwater Quality in Kapas Island
Chapter Seasonal Variability of Groundwater Quality in Kapas Island, Terengganu, Malaysia Mohmadisa Hashim, Arijatul Wardah Ahmad, Zahid Mat Said, Nasir Nayan, Hanifah Mahat, Yazid Saleh and Koh Liew See Abstract The chapter aims to evaluate the groundwater quality levels in Kapas Island, Terengganu, Malaysia during the monsoon changes of the Southwest Monsoon (SWM), Monsoon Transition (MT) and Northeast Monsoon (NEM) in 2018. Four locations were used for groundwater sampling namely, the Kapas Coral Beach Resort, Kapas Beach Chalet, Pak Ya Seaview Chalet, and Kapas Island Resort. Three water samplings at each station for every month in the monsoon. Six parameters of the Malaysian Water Quality Index (WQI), i.e., dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), were used to evaluate the water quality. The findings showed the groundwater quality parameters are in Class I and II. However, according to WQI Malaysia, the water quality status during the three monsoons is slightly polluted. During the SWM, the WQI value was 76 (Class III), the MT was 77 (Class II), and the NEM was WQI 71 (Class III). Given this status, it requires more intensive water treatment as it is not suitable for direct drinking water supply. The implications of the study show that the quality of groundwater in Kapas Island has to improve by the tour operators. Keywords: water quality index, groundwater, slightly polluted, water treatment, island tourism 1. Introduction The increase in the population of an area will have an impact on the demand for clean water supply. -

The surveys are a continuation of a successful National Reef Check Survey Programme that has now run for five years. 2. The surveys were carried out by volunteers trained and certified in the global standard Reef Check method. Nearly 50 people were trained in 2011, adding to the base of volunteers who are participating in Reef Check Malaysia’s programmes. 10% of trainees were officers of the Department of Marine Parks Malaysia, reflecting growing interest from the Government in further improving management of Malaysia’s coral reefs. -

ISBN 978-4-87803-036-9 Corresponding editor: Hiroyuki Motomura (e-mail: [email protected]) v Preface Tropical seas in Southeast Asian countries are well known for their rich fish diversity found in various environments such as beautiful coral reefs, mud flats, sandy beaches, mangroves, and estuaries around river mouths. The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

Malinna Jusoh Received: 25 August 2019 / Accepted: 10 March 2020 / Published online: 31 March 2020 The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Microalgae are considered as a promising resource for high-value substances. In this study, indigenous microalgae were isolated from various habitats and the optimum growth parameters for high lipid production were determined. Species identification was done by using universal 18S rDNA. Water quality was recorded during the sampling to determine the basic physical-chemical parameters for the growth studies. The screening for microalgae growth was done using plate reader with a focus on lipid-rich isolates by Nile Red fluorescent dye at different growth phase for 15 days. Results showed that ten microalgae species have been successfully cultivated from Terengganu water bodies. Analysis from genus Chlorella showed five isolates (TRG1-A01, TRG1-C01, TRG2-E01, TRG5-A01, and TRG3-B01) were clustered together, while two isolates (TRG2-A01, TRG3-A01) from the genus Nannochloropsis were N. oceania. Another two isolates (TRG1-D01, TRG1-E01) were closely clustered with Desmodesmus subspicatus while TRG4-C01 was clustered with Dicloster aquatus. The strain TRG2-A01 showed the highest fluorescent intensity indicating its potential to produce the highest intracellular lipid content. -

The study of National Coastal Erosion Study (NCES) on 2015 revealed that 8840 km of shoreline in Malaysia with 1,347.6 km were subjected to erosion. The present study selected seven locations in Kuala Terengganu since Terengganu is exposed to the northeast monsoon which could potentially cause coastal erosion. In order to identify the changes in the shoreline of the selected study areas, 2014SPOT-5 and 2016 WorldView-3 images were processed using ArcGIS software to determine the shoreline changes and to categorise the erosion which has occurred. -

There has been an increase in numbers of single mothers in Malaysia and their well-being is crucial as female-headed households. A total of 328 respondents involved using the purposive sampling technique. Field studies were conducted using Coping Strategies Inventory (COPE) questionnaires on coastal single mothers from four locations in Kuala Nerus district. Social support was identified as the main predictor in this study. Thus to find out the level of well-being among single mothers, descriptive statistics in the form of percentage and mean were analyzed. Then, the relationship between well-being and social support were measured using Pearson correlation. Lastly, social support predictor factors were analyzed using multiple regression to determine factors that influence single mothers‟ well-being. This study indicated that there has been different levels of well-being and negative relationship between the social support and well-being. -
