DEVELOPING URBAN GREEN SPACE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM USING MULTI-CRITERIA: THE CASE OF KUALA LUMPUR CITY, MALAYSIA AMAL NAJIHAH MUHAMAD NOR1,2 AND SAIFUL ARIF ABDULLAH 1* 1Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 UKM Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. 2Faculty of Earth Science, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Jeli Campus, 17600 Jeli, Kelantan, Malaysia. *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Received: 25th October 2018, Accepted: 21th December 2018 ABSTRACT In many countries urban green spaces are stated in a set of different administrative regulatory framework. However, their definition and characteristics are inconsistent and developing a systematic classification has been recognized to avoid the inconsistency. Several efforts have been made but the approach mainly based on a few criteria and classified manually according to the types that stated in the regulatory framework. Therefore, this study developed a classification system based on multi-criteria that represents the structure and function of urban green spaces using Kuala Lumpur City, Malaysia as a model. The useful of the systematic classification for urban green spaces planning and management was interpreted through landscape pattern analysis. In this study, land use map of Kuala Lumpur City was used as a based. Through field observation, information from Kuala Lumpur City Hall and satellite image interpretation, seven criteria were identified to develop the classification system. Landscape pattern was based on landscape metrics analyzed using FRAGSTAT 3.3. The analysis defined five categories of urban green spaces: conservation green space, greenway, community green space, residential green space and amenity green space.

  • Kuala Lumpur One of Asia’S Best-Kept Secrets, Kuala Lumpur Is More Than Just a Stopover En Route to Europe
    We all know how easy it is to fill two spare hours with things you don’t really want to do. Rush-hour commuting, cleaning out your wardrobe, preparing your taxes—the world is full of mundane activities waiting to ambush 120 minutes of your precious time. And when you’re far from home, on a business trip packed with long days of meetings and long evenings of reports, the last thing you want to do is squander your only two free hours looking for a decent place to eat or shop. So here’s the answer: VIVE’s two-hour guide to getting the most out of any city you’re in, no matter how briefly. TWO HOURS IN Kuala Lumpur One of Asia’s best-kept secrets, Kuala Lumpur is more than just a stopover en route to Europe. Cleaner than Bangkok, more charismatic than Singapore and less manic than Hong Kong, the city affectionately dubbed ‘KL’ is an exotic mix of east and west. Its religious and business structures will keep your neck craned skyward, the shopping will keep your overdraft high and the warmth of the Malaysian people will have you booking your next visit before you leave. But don’t tell anyone: once the word is out, Kuala Lumpur may just lose its magic. TRAVEL NOTES RACHAEL OAKES-ASH Indulge in spa treatments at the Mandarin Oriental Vitality Club. TWO HOURS IN TRAVEL TIPS you visit the linking bridge on the 41st The Golden Triangle is the nickname for floor. Tickets are free, but queue between Kuala Lumpur’s financial zone—and where 8.30am and 11am to secure entry for views there’s finance, there’s shopping.
