ISSN 1567-214x ABSTRACT Founded around 1404, as the oldest city in Malaysia, Malacca (Malay: Melaka) is a bustling gathering place for traders from China, India, Arab and European countries. With its geostrategic location as it lies on an important maritime route from Europe, Africa, South Asia, the Middle East to East Asia, Malacca has become one of the region’s largest international trading ports of Southeast Asia region in particular and the world in general. This commercial port held a golden position in the East - West-trading system in the middle ages. Besides the favorable economic conditions, this is also the place that carries many imprints of cultural interference, the place of exchange between the Eastern and Western civilizations. The multicultural imprints has clearly shown in the life, architecture and religion in Malacca city from the past to the present.

Also spelt Melaka, the state is one of the country’s tourism industry’s trump cards. First established in the fourteenth century, it quickly gained fame under the auspices of founder Parameswara, a Sumatran prince. Conquered by the Portuguese, Dutch and British, remnants of their rule can be seen throughout the well-preserved town centre, from Porta de Santiago (the remaining gate of the Portuguese-built A’Famosa fort) to the nearby Dutch-constructed Stadhuys. Malacca’s a small town so exploring it is fairly easy on foot as you’re never too far from tourist-worthy sights. WEATHER SIM CARDS AND DIALING PREFIXES Hot and humid throughout the year with occasional rainfall, Malacca is perfect for year-round travel. Temperatures range between 30°C - Malaysia’s three main cell phone service providers are Celcom, Digi and 35°C during the day and 27°C - 29°C at night, though after rainfall it Maxis.

Ninety Years of Urbanization in Malaysia: a Geographical Investigation of Its Trends and Characteristics
Ninety Years of Urbanization in Malaysia: A Geographical Investigation of Its Trends and Characteristics Usman Yaakob*, Tarmiji Masron* & Fujimaki Masami** Abstract This paper discusses the urbanization process in Malaysia from 1911 to 2000. The definition of urban areas in Malaysia is gazetted areas with a population of 10,000 or more. However, during the 1991 census, the definition of urban areas was changed as gazetted areas with their adjoining built areas that have a combined population of 10,000 and more. The topics of analysis were trends, household size, growth rates, size of urban settlement, and the phase of urban growth during the period. Further analysis included the urbanization process by the states in Malaysia and the factors that affect the development of urban growth. The city of The Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Georgetown of Penang were chosen on the basis of their description regarding the growth of urban population. In addition, this article also discussed the role of small towns, ethnic composition, and the impact of urban growth. The result of this study has revealed that Malaysia experienced rapid growth of urban population for the last nine decades but more importantly during the 1980s and 1990s. The level of urbanization in Malaysia has increased from around 10.0 percent in 1911 to 28.4 percent in 1970 and 61.8 per cent in 2000. The most interesting result of the study is the ethnic urban composition in Malaysia, and more than 50 percent of the urban population is Malay. The expected level of urbanization in 2010 was more than 70 percent of the Malaysia’s population living in urban areas.

We relied upon a one-day travel diary where the elderly recorded their trip information including trip category, mode of travel, and distance travelled. A total of 455 travel diaries were completed and analyzed using descriptive analysis and Poisson estimation with the number of trips as the dependent variable. We found that the elderly in both cities recorded no more than five trips per day, travelled mostly within a distance of five kilometers, and chose private transportation as their preferred mode of transportation. Factors statistically significantly influencing the elderly’s trip frequency included location (city), education level, private vehicle ownership, health condition, and engagement in exercise. Findings from this study suggest that authorities need to strategize transportation planning to encourage mobility among the elderly without compromising the heritage status of both cities. Keywords: elderly; travel behavior; trip frequency; individual attributes; household attributes health attributes 1.
