  • Factors Influencing Residents' Attitude Towards Marine Resource Utilization

    Factors Influencing Residents' Attitude Towards Marine Resource Utilization

    International Journal of Business and Society, Vol. 19 S1, 2018, 37-46 FACTORS INFLUENCING RESIDENTS’ ATTITUDE TOWARDS MARINE RESOURCE UTILIZATION IN TUN SAKARAN MARINE PARK, MALAYSIA Habibah Mohd Yusah Universiti Putra Malaysia Ahmad Shuib. Universiti Putra Malaysia Puvanewaran Kunasekaran Universiti Putra Malaysia Nurul Afifah Nordin Universiti Putra Malaysia ABSTRACT Communities living in the Tun Sakaran Marine Park (TSMP) depend on the marine resources for their livelihood. The marine park is managed by state government, the Sabah Parks, with the main objective of conserving the high marine biodiversity in the area. The communities living in the area use the resources on a daily basis, for family consumption and subsistence. The marine park is also popular for its world class diving sites which has contributed to the growth of the ecotourism industry. The main objective of this study is to determine the socio- demographic characteristics of the resident communities in order to evaluate the factors that determine the attitude of the communities towards the utilization of the marine resources. Data from 116 respondents in three islands in the park were collected using the convenient sampling method. Results of the regression analysis showed that citizenship (non-citizen), education, sense of ownership to the place and responses towards destructive fishing methods had significant influences on the attitudes towards the utilization of the marine resources. Relevant agencies can help to improve the attitudes of the communities by increasing awareness of the communities through informal education and providing extension information to reduce uses of destructive fishing methods. Keywords: Socio-demography; Local Communities; Marine Protected Area; Fishing Tools; Sabah.

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

    The Visitors Perspective on Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Sabah, Malaysia

    SHS Web of Conferences 12, 01068 (2014) DOI: 10.1051/shsconf/20141201068 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014 Man-Made Wildlife Tourism Destination: The Visitors Perspective on Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Sabah, Malaysia Boyd Sun Fatt1, Cindy Johnny1 , Shirley M. Bakansing2 1Faculty of Hotel & Tourism Management, University Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Sabah Branch 2School of International Tropical Forestry, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Sabah Abstract. Sabah is blessed with natural forest habitats and rich with floras and faunas. Amongst its’ attraction is wildlife endemism. Lok Kawi Wildlife Park was established to provide an alternative wildlife tourism destination with its inhabitants from the wildlife species of Borneo. Since its opening in 2007, multitudes of tourists have visited the park. However, there has been no study to identify the visitor’s perspective on Lok Kawi Wildlife Park as man-made wildlife tourism destination. The study aims to assist the park’s management for the betterment of the park’s facilities and future development. A convenience sampling and a designed questionnaire was applied in this study, distributed after the visitors visited the park. The results showed that majority of the visitors were Malaysian and only a quarter were foreign visitors. Majority indicated that visiting the park is for recreational outing (holiday) and only a few indicated that is an educational visit. Majority of the respondents knew the meaning of wildlife tourism and visiting the park’s is part of wildlife tourism. Most of the respondents came to know about the park’s existence through the local media and mostly agreed that the park indeed provide an authentic learning experience about wildlife, whilst creating wildlife conservation awareness.

Jeremiah) ii PREFACE At the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development or the Rio Summit, Malaysia was among the signatories to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The Convention outlines three main objectives: (1) the conservation of biological diversity; (2) the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity, and (3) the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources. In 2010, in view of the continued decline of global biodiversity, parties to the CBD, in Nagoya, Japan, adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 with the purpose of inspiring broad-based action in support of biodiversity over the next decade by all countries and stakeholders. The Strategic Plan has 20 headline targets termed the “Aichi Biodiversity Targets”, organised under five strategic goals that address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, reduce the pressures on biodiversity, safeguard biodiversity at all levels, enhance the benefits provided by biodiversity, and provide for capacity-building.
