Hj Ab Majid (290/94) © 2011 by MIP iv Message from the President _______________________________________________________________________ Dear Readers, The publications of this journal is one of the many activities undertaken by the Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) to propagate knowledge and information pertaining to town and country planning to its members as well as the public. This Journal also acts as a medium for MIP members and others to engage in research and writing articles that could contribute to the advancement of the theory and practice of town and country planning. Published articles in this Journal means for MIP members, is fulfilling their CPD point requirement. As to the academic contributors, journal’s indexed in SCOPUS will be very meaningful as it adds extra point in terms of their involvement in research and publication. This year, MIP’s journal has moved extra mile by producing a special issue dedicated specifically on Langkawi Geopark. Ten related titles researched and written by a group of experts from LESTARI, UKM and LADA staff had contributed in this special issue. Topics which are covered and discussed in this issue would definitely promote better understanding on current issues relating to our first geopark, not only in Malaysia, but South East Asia dated back about 550 million years ago as endorsed by UNESCO in 2007. The articles discussed rigorously not only on geopark concept that made up of more than mere geological structures and landscape but also about how the local communities within it can sustain and nurture this geological heritage through effective conservation efforts and promotion of ecotourism. Experiences and suggestions put forward by the authors in this Journal could be used or adopted into practice by MIP members and authorities in carrying out their professional role in maintaining our very own world heritage. Congratulation to the authors for their excellent effort and materials published in this special issue. On behalf of the council I would like to thank the editors. I would like to urge members of MIP and others to make full use of this Journal. Prof. Dato’ Dr. Alias Abdullah PRESIDENT (2011-2013) v © 2011 by MIP CONSERVATION WITH DEVELOPMENT: SHOWCASING LANGKAWI GEOPARK - AN INTRODUCTION Globalisation and trade liberalisation that have become parts of the characteristics of 21st century development have given more opportunities for the various countries to compete in the world markets and market products that they produce for the economic wealth of their people. The world economic superpowers like the United States, Japan, Russia, China and the European Union are intensely competing with each other to increase their Gross Domestic Products (GDPs), increase their people’s income and enhance their quality of life. Malaysia, like all other developing countries, does not want to be left behind. Aspiring to be a developed nation by 2020, the Malaysian government has introduced the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) to achieve a high income economy within eight years i.e. tripling the per capita income of the average Malaysians by 2020. While applauding what economic growth and prosperity can bring for the comfort of the people, environmentalists are worried that the ever-increasing exploitation of natural and man-made resources is causing a strain on the global environment. Signs of the climate change phenomenon such as rising temperatures, extreme temperatures and rain, rise in sea level, melting of the icebergs at sea and snow at mountain tops, and water and air pollutions, are attributed to the depletion of natural environmental resources such as forests and other natural resources, non-sustainable technologies which are still being used by many developing and underdeveloped countries and unsustainable consumption patterns. This economic competitiveness for economic growth, high income

    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 6, Issue 4, 2019 An Exploration of Community-Based Tourism in Kampung Baru Nelayan, Pekan Sungai Besar, Selangor *Syed Munir Barakbah Syed Faozi Barakbaha, Ambigai Pariasamyb, Mohd Rafie Mohd Taibc, Mohd Shahril Mat Yusofd, abFaculty of Business and Technology, UNITAR International University, cSchool of Culinary Arts, UNITAR International University, dUNITAR College, *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] The purpose of this study was to explore the community and its activities which could be enhanced as a community-based tourism product. Thus, the main theme of this research project was community- based tourism which included detailed examination of factors such as cultural resources, financial resources, community activities and natural resources. The selected site to explore the variables was the community in Kampung Baru Nelayan which is in Pekan Sungai Besar, a sub- district of Sabak Bernam, in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Information was collected via observation on the on-going community activities at specific times on the days of the study, and through unstructured interviews with the local community. The findings from this research indicate that Kampung Baru Nelayan had a vast community-based tourism product that could be further developed and enhanced to be made attractive for both domestic and international tourists. Key words: Community, community-based tourism, cultural resources, financial resources, natural resources, community activities. Introduction The concept of Community-based Tourism (CBT) could be found in the work of Murphy (1985), where he posed that tourism-related aspects could be developed in local communities. He further analysed those aspects in his later study (Murphy & Murphy, 2004).

  • Compliance Behaviour of Business Zakat in Micro Enterprise Firms in Sabak Bernam District of Selangor
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP IN ISLAMIC ECONOMIC THEORY (4th IWIET 2020) ISBN: 978-967-17692-2-5 Compliance Behaviour of Business Zakat in Micro Enterprise Firms in Sabak Bernam District of Selangor Mohammad Firdaus Bin Ahmad Mohd Ali Bin Mohd Noor Hairunnizam Bin Wahid Faculty of Economics and Management Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Bangi, Selangor ABSTRACT Islam has decreed zakat (alms-giving) ritual as one of the demands in pillars of Islam functioning to purify one’s properties. Business zakat is a type of zakat applied to the business which comply with the conditions and nisab of zakat in a certain state. Arising research problem was of the unsatisfying performance in collection of business income in spite of progress in zakat collection in Malaysia indicating an increase every year. Objective of this research is to comprehend compliance behaviour of business zakat in micro enterprise firms in Sabak Bernam district using Theory of Planned Behaviour introduced by Ajzen (1991). Four main factors which are factor of religion, factor of attitude towards behaviour, factor of subjective norms, and factor of perceived behavioural control were accounted as the main factors for the implemented theory. Technique of binominal logistic regression analysis was applied to test the model of compliance behaviour in business zakat. A number of 105 questionnaires were distributed to micro enterprise players in service sector in Sabak Bernam district and it was found that research results indicated that the model of this study was consistent with suggestion by planned behaviour theory. Factor of perceived behavioural control was the most influencing factor of compliance behaviour of business zakat (β = 2.493) followed by factor of religion (β = 1.163) and then by factor of attitude towards business zakat (β = 1.054).

Abstract The problem of getting pregnant out of wedlock among the Muslim community is a big issue that is getting worse in this country. The establishment of women's shelters is one of the methods to curb these symptoms. However, the management of this center is often faced with the problem of lack of funds for operations due to the high total management costs. Zakat fund is seen as one of the solutions to this problem, especially for the allocation of asnaf zakat riqab. Therefore, this study aims to identify the interpretation of asnaf zakat riqab according to contemporary Islamic scholars as well as analyze the management of shelters for pregnant women out of wedlock and suggest a model of distribution of zakat asnaf riqab to Women Protection Centers. Qualitative research methods are used to obtain and complete the information of this study.

  • An Analysis of the Changing Spatial Location Of
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE CHANGING SPATIAL LOCATION OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES IN SELANGOR STATE, MALAYSIA By Mohamed Tamin Yusof A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Development Economics in the Australian National University October 1985 DECLARATION Except where otherwise indicated this thesis is my cwn work. 7 June 1985 iii ACKNCWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the Government of Malaysia for nominating me to undertake this course in Australia and the Australian Government for their generous Colombo Plan scholarship. I am very greatly indebted to my supervisor, Dr Dan Etherington whose invaluable suggestions, criticisms, comments and guidance greatly inspired me to complete this research study. I am also greatful to Dr D.P. Chaudhri and Dr Clive Hamilton for their suggestions and advice during the course of the study. To Mr. Sean Foley, who helped in editing and also to Miss Yap Kim Lian, Ministry of Agriculture, Malaysia; Mr. Radzli Jaafar and my family who helped and provided the necessary information required in this study. I am greatful to all of them. To my wife, Zubaidah Arshard and son, Hanif for their understanding, and patience, I can hardly express the extent of my gratitude. And finally, to all my friends and colleagues, who contributed in diverse ways to this study, but too numerous to mention here, I am thankful. iv ABSTRACT This paper examines the changing land use of agricultural areas in Selangor State generally and specifically near urban areas of Kuala Lumpur between 1966 and 1982. Using two contrasting models designed to explain the spatial location of agricultural enterprises, the study found that von Thunen's model has become less relevent due to the modernization of transportation system with consequent significant reduction in transport costs.

  • MPLS VPN Service
    MPLS VPN Service PCCW Global’s MPLS VPN Service provides reliable and secure access to your network from anywhere in the world. This technology-independent solution enables you to handle a multitude of tasks ranging from mission-critical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), quality videoconferencing and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) to convenient email and web-based applications while addressing traditional network problems relating to speed, scalability, Quality of Service (QoS) management and traffic engineering. MPLS VPN enables routers to tag and forward incoming packets based on their class of service specification and allows you to run voice communications, video, and IT applications separately via a single connection and create faster and smoother pathways by simplifying traffic flow. Independent of other VPNs, your network enjoys a level of security equivalent to that provided by frame relay and ATM.
