Sabah’s administrative history, its rural and agricultural sector economic development, and the social structures of rural society are deliberated upon extensively since these elements are found to be intricately interwoven in the incidence of rural poverty and the acceptance or willingness by rural communities to participate in poverty eradication programmes such as contract farming. Based on document reviews, participation in contract farming programmes is found to be static (neither increasing or declining) with the exception of rubber planting and paddy production which showed significant increase.

  • Spatial Analysis of Food and Waterborne Diseases in Sabah, Malaysia (Analisis Reruang Bagi Penyakit Bawaan Makanan Dan Air Di Sabah, Malaysia)
    Sains Malaysiana 49(7)(2020): 1627-1638 http://dx.doi.org/10.17576/jsm-2020-4907-14 Spatial Analysis of Food and Waterborne Diseases in Sabah, Malaysia (Analisis Reruang bagi Penyakit Bawaan Makanan dan Air di Sabah, Malaysia) SYED SHARIZMAN SYED ABDUL RAHIM*, SHAMSUL AZHAR SHAH, SHAHARUDIN IDRUS, ZAHIR IZUAN AZHAR, MOHD ROHAIZAT HASSAN & NAZARUDIN SAFIAN ABSTRACT Food and waterborne disease (FWBD) epidemic can produce devastating public health outcomes. From 1990 to 2006, the annual notifications for FWBDs in Malaysia ranged from 2,000 to about 10,000 cases. The purpose of this study was to describe the spatial epidemiology of FWBDs in four districts of Sabah from the year 2011 to 2014. This study was a retrospective review of four years (i.e. 2011 to 2014) worth of data from Kota Kinabalu, Penampang, Putatan, and Papar districts. All reported cases of cholera, dysentery, food poisoning, typhoid, and viral hepatitis A from these areas and district health offices were included. Coordinates for the locations of the cases were based on home addresses. Among a total of 1997 cases of FWBDs, food poisoning was the highest reported disease with 1787 (89.4%) cases. Kota Kinabalu had the most reported cases of FWBDs with 1368 (68.5%). In the year 2012, FWBD incidence was the highest at 16.44 per 10,000 populations. Kernel density estimation demonstrated hot spots of food poisoning and cholera in the western areas near the coast, while typhoid and viral hepatitis A cases had minimal hot spots and appeared to be dispersed. Average nearest neighbour analysis showed clusters of food poisoning and cholera cases.
