Library As a Social Place
Library as a Social Place Wan Hashimah Wan Ismail, Lily Ting Shu Chi Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper clarifies on the condition of the public libraries, focusing on the one in Alor Gajah town. The objectives were to search the reasons for the lack of visitors to the library, the perspectives of the locals and library users, as well as the means to assimilate their viewpoints into a new approach in designing a library. The discussions in the findings include the preference of the locals, the location and the users of the public library. The strategies suggested comprise the role of the library to be redefined as a social interactive space for the community.

Buffer Zone Concept and Its Potential Implementation in Tasek Bera
Buffer Zone Concept and its Potential Implementation in Tasek Bera Che Bon Ahmad1, 2, Jamalunlaili Abdullah1, Jasmee Jaafar2 1 Centre for Environmental Design & Management 2 Centre of Geospatial Technology Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti7eknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Tasek Bera (TB), one of the Protected Areas (PA) in Malaysia is an important site for natural ecosystem and community’s life. Previous studies suggested that the activities around the Pas gave a great impact to the latter. Thus, the implementation and management of the surrounding areas – Buffer Zones (BZ) are necessary to safeguard the PAs. This study interviewed in- depth, six stakeholders of TB and the adjacent areas. Results indicated that although all stakeholders agreed on the overall concept and the importance of the BZs, there are disagreement in term of threats and opportunities derived from the potential implementation of it.
