  • Natural Heritage of Environmentally Sensitive Areas in Kuala Selangor District, Malaysia
    International Proceedings of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 91 (2016) DOI: 10.7763/IPCBEE. 2016. V91. 6 Natural Heritage of Environmentally Sensitive Areas in Kuala Selangor District, Malaysia M Zainora Asmawi and Tuminah Paiman Department of Urban and Regional Planning, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Abstract. This paper addresses the issue of the conserving the natural heritage of environmentally sensitive areas in Kuala Selangor District, Malaysia. Being as environmental goods, the existence of these natural heritage elements is all important as overall it enhances the quality of life. Simultaneously, it is greatly marked that presently there is an increasing tendency in the development which may hamper these sensitive areas. Thus, this research was embarked to analyses the importance of areas of natural heritage found in Kuala Selangor. The research mainly employed the collection of secondary information in terms of textual and statistical information in the form of GIS format to assemble info for analysis purpose. The results indicate that the natural heritage of environmentally sensitive areas comprises of Kuala Selangor Nature Park, Kampung Kuantan, Kampung Bukit Belimbing and Permanent Forest Reserves. These fields hold the prominent values of historical archaeology and biodiversity which should be protected for future generations. As a conclusion, it is clearly evident that environmental goods, letting in natural heritage have invaluable assets that hold its own contribution to raising the overall environmental quality.

    May 2, 2011 Latar Expressway links Templer’s Park to Ijok in Kuala Selangor The Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway, or better known as Latar Expressway, which links Templer’s Park in Gombak with the Ijok township in Kuala Selangor has entered its final stage of development. The dual-carriageway expressway will provide road users an alternative to the present Jalan Sungai Buloh-Kuala Selangor road. According to a statement from the highway concessionaire Kuala Lumpur- Kuala Selangor Expressway Berhad, the 33km road is expected to provide a smoother drive that will take 18 minutes to travel from end to end. Near completion: The Latar Expressway stretcchhes over Jalan Bukit The project will provide convenient Besar Rotan near Ijok. access and link the townships of Kuala Selangor, Assam Jawa, Ijok, Batang Berjuntai, Kota Puteri, Puncak Alam, Shah Alam, Bukit Jelutong, Sungai Buloh, Kundang, Rawang and Selayang. To provide faster and easy access, particularly onto the existing Guthrie Corridor Expressway, PLUS North-South Expressway and the future West Coast Highway, there will be four interchanges — at Ijok, Puncak Alam, Kuang and Templer’s Park. Each side of the highway will also have three tolls as well as a rest and service area in Kundang. Other features on the expressway include the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), CCTVs, Variable Message Signboards (VMS), traffic control devices, all-weatther road markers and telephones for emergency calls. ITS is the use of information and communication technologies to create a safer, more efficient transportation system for road userrs. This project’s 40-year concession was awarded to Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway Berhad and began construction in October 2008.

  • Mangroves Degradation: a Local Perspective on Its Awareness
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners SPECIAL ISSUE IV (2016), Page 251 - 262 MANGROVES DEGRADATION: A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE ON ITS AWARENESS Mazni Adibah Abd Rahman1 & M.Zainora Asmawi2 1,2 Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract Mangroves in Malaysia reside on the coastlines, and the largest areas of mangrove are in the Northern Sabah. Over the past decades, mangrove species have been reported to be disappearing from the globe. It is due to several natural processes that have been inserted to fill the needs of the increased population. These include illegal logging, agriculture activities and urbanisation. In this regards, awareness of the local residents about the problem of mangrove depletion is important to inhibit the problem to prolong further.Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the degree of awareness of local residents on the importance of mangroves in managing environmental quality. Consequently, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 103 respondents to examine their awareness on the subject of mangrove degradation.The respondents were selected randomly among local residents of Kuala Selangor district.It is found that only twenty percent of the total number of respondents are totallyaware of the issue and acted upon it; either taking part in the endeavours made by the government as well as those with the non-governmental bodies or practicing mangroves replanting at their backyard. Keyword: Mangroves; Local Residents; Degradation; Awareness INTRODUCTION Mangroves has been long recognized as one of an efficient tool in managing the environmental quality. Its contribution is widely accepted in the sectors linked to social, economic and physical dimensions.
