A Case Study in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
Geographical Review of Japan Vol. 61 (Ser. B), No. 2, 191-211, 1988 The Agricultural Development of Hill Stations in Tropical Asia -A Case Study in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia- Shigeru SHIRASAKA* There are many highland settlements known as "hill stations" or "summer resorts" in Southeast Asian countries under the tropical and subtropical climate. The hill station is not a native institution, but one developed during the nineteenth century by the British and Dutch colonial masters in order to make sojourns in a foreign land more comfortable. In southern Japan, the worst period is from June through August, though its intensity does not compare with that farther south. In Malaysia and Indonesia, the period extends throughout the year. The Cameron Highlands is the most famous hill station in Peninsular Malaysia being one of colonial origin. The Cameron Highlands is located between 1,000 and 1,500 meters above sea level on the main range of central Malaysia. Today, the Cameron Highlands is mainly a summer resort, but it is also a very important mid-latitude vegetable growing area. The development of the Cameron Highlands began only after 1926, though it was discovered by, and named after, William CAMERONin 1885. Almost simultaneous with the opening of the Came ron Highlands as a hill resort was the growth and development of vegetable farming by farmers of Chinese origin. There are also three new vegetable farming settlements developed after World War II. Some 47 per cent of the inhabitants of the Cameron Highlands are Chinese Malaysian, and they shoulder the vegetable growing business. -
Landslide Hazard Zonation Mapping Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques
Geol. Soc. MalaYJia, Bulletin 44, July 2000,' pp. 101-107 Landslide hazard zonation mapping using remote sensing and GIS techniques JASMI AB. TALffi AND AzLIKAMIL NAPIAH Malaysian Centre for Remote Sensing (MAC RES) 13, Jalan Tun Ismail 50480 Kuala Lumpur Abstract: The aim of this study is to utilise the remotely sensed data and GIS techniques for slope instability assessment and prediction in the chosen study area, Cameron Highlands. Slope instability can be considered as one of the most actual issues affecting this area, lately. With the availability of different types, multi temporal and various scales of remotely sensed data, several parameter maps can be generated, emphasizing the mass movements distribution map. The mass movements distribution map is prepared where each of its polygon is assigned with a special unique code. Other parameter maps either generated or extracted from the existing ancillary data are geological map, landuse map, terrain mapping units map, slope map, aspect map and classified distance map. GIS, on the other hand, can assist in terms of speeding up processing and moreover in the hazard zonation and prediction assessment. The result of slope instability study by using the Information Value Method has given the indication of the most relevant causative factors influencing the mass movements occurrences in this study area. The construction of the roads at steep slopes can be considered as the most important causative factor, as is borne out by its high information value especially for the main and secondary roads. Another factor which has high value is landuse besides the slope steepness and distance from fifth, sixth and higher order river, even though classified slope and distances are of lesser influence to the mass movements occurrences. -

2 Geology of Peninsular Malaysia
2 GEOLOGY OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA 2.1 INTRODUCTION Peninsular Malaysia has traditionLlly been subdivided into NNW-SSE longitudinal belts on the basis of stratigraphy, mineralisation, geological structure, geological history and tectonic evolution . Scrivenor (19:;8) subdivided the Peninsula into three elongate belts on the basis of mineralisation: a western tin belt, a central gold belt and an eastern tin belt. Hutchison (1977) divided the Peni isula into four major tectonic subdivisions on the basis of different tectonic histories; the '1Vestern Stable Shelf, the Main Range Belt, the Central graben, and the Eastern Belt. Fo ) (1983) divided the Peninsula into four zones on the basis of differences in stratign phy. Khoo and Tan (1983) proposed a threefold subdivision; a Western Belt, Central Belt and an Eastern Belt on the basis of differences in stratigraphy and geological histoi y within Peninsular Malaysia. Within this threefold subdivision, Khoo and Tan (1983' further divided the Western Belt into two regions: a northwest sector and a Kinta-Ma acca sector. Tjia and Harun (1985) recognised four structural domains within the Peninsula. They defined Northwest, West, Central and Eastern structural domains. Within all the above subdivision schemes, the boundary between the eastern and central "belts" is taken as the Lebir Fault 2 one, and the boundary between the central and western "belts" is the Bentong-Raub line of Hutchison (1975). As previously stated (Chapter 1.5.2), Metcalfe (1988) proposed that Peninsular Malaysia consisted of two continental terra les, a western Gondwanan affinity continental terrane (Sibumasu) and an eastern Cathaysian affinity continental terrane (Indochina/East Malaya) Chapter 2: Geology of Peninsular Malaysia (Fig. -

Use of Satellite Imagery to Determine the Land Use Management Factors of the USLE
Human Impact on Erosion and Sedimentation (Proceedings of Rabat Symposium S6, April 1997). IAHS Publ. no. 245, 1997 205 Use of satellite imagery to determine the land use management factors of the USLE ZAINAL ABIDIN ROSLAN Department of Civil Engineering, MARA Institute of Technology, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia KIA HUI TEW Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor, Malaysia Abstract The Cameron Highlands, an idyllic highland resort in Malaysia, are now being threatened by landslips and flash floods due to numerous develop ment projects as well as intensive agricultural activities being associated with tourism. A study of the land use management factor (Cover and Management factor, C, and Support Practice factor, P) of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) has been undertaken, as this parameter reflects the land cover in the study area and its effect on soil erosion. Using remote sensing satellite imagery, the Ringlet area in the Cameron Highlands has been identified as having the highest erosion risk/loss based on the CP factor and this is confirmed by its highest ranking for residential and construction areas compared to other locations. The results of this study highlight the important land uses associated with erosion risk, and provide guidance to ensure that development is carried out to ensure a quality environment for the future. INTRODUCTION The Cover and Management factor, C in the USLE represents the combined effect of all the interrelated cover and management variables and is defined as the ratio of soil loss from land cropped under the specified conditions to the corresponding loss from clean-tilled continuous fallow. -

Dalam tempoh pelaksanaan Dasar Agromakanan Negara (DAN), jumlah pengeluaran bunga negara dijangka meningkat daripada 468 juta keratan atau pasu pada tahun 2020 iaitu pertumbuhan sebanyak 6.2% setahun. Nilai eksport forikultur pula diunjurkan meningkat daripada RM449 juta pada tahun 2010 kepada RM857 juta pada tahun 2020. Penubuhan Jawatankuasa Food and Agro Council for Export (FACE) bagi menyelaras pelaksanaan pengeluaran untuk eksport bagi agromakanan diharapkan mampu meningkatkan eksport agromakanan negara. Malaysian Agro Networking (MAN) mengikut subsektor tanaman iaitu buah-buahan, sayur-sayuran dan florikultur telah ditubuhkan melalui beberapa siri perbincangan dengan pihak Persatuan Pengeluar Subsektor Tanaman. MAN (Florikultur) berperanan sebagai medium perbincangan di antara Jabatan Pertanian dan Jabatan/ Agensi berkaitan dengan pemain industri bagi meningkatan pengeluaran florikultur khususnya bagi tujuan eksport.
