This is because Bujang valley has the prospects to grow as one of the potential domestic tourism destinations in this country, especially in terms of ecotourism. Blessed with the geographical endowments of hilly terrain, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, beachs, islands, bays and forest reserve, Bujang valley is a suitable destination for tourists to visit. However, with all these specialities, to what extent are the important natural prospects made use of, especially with respect to the development of ecotourism in Bujang valley? In order to answer that question, this study has applied qualitative methods by referring to books, journals and proceedings in the library. Quantitative methods were also applied in this study by conducting field research through questionnaires and interviews to identify the natural prospects for ecotourism development in Bujang valley. The findings discovered that three locations are the main choices of local tourists to visit, namely Pantai Merdeka, Tanjung Dawai and Gunung Jerai. -
Persempadanan Semula Dan Gerimander Dalam Pilihan Raya: Satu Pengukuran Menggunakan Sistem Maklmat Geografi Di DUN Kedah Realign

Aplikasi ini berupaya mengesan, misalnya elemen kejanggalan dalam bentuk gerimander dalam proses persempadanan semula konstituensi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti sama ada gerimander berlaku atau tidak di Malaysia dengan rujukan khas kepada negeri Kedah. Analisis geospatial dalam sistem maklumat geografi telah digunakan untuk mengukur indeks kepadatan DUN yang dikaitkan dengan kesan gerimander. Hasil kajian menunjukkan 16 DUN di Kedah telah berlaku gerimander dengan bacaan indeks kepadatan yang rendah, iaitu antara 0.1 sehingga 0.5. Ini membuktikan bahawa telah berlaku gerimander dalam proses pilihan raya di Malaysia. Gerimander boleh memberi impak negatif dalam proses pilihan raya negara. Oleh sebab itu, dalam proses persempadanan semula kesan gerimander wajar diambil kira oleh pihak yang bertanggungjawab terutamanya Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya supaya perjalanan pilihan raya lebih telus dan demokratik. Katakunci : gerimander, indeks kepadatan, pemilih, persempadanan semula, pilihan raya, sistem maklumat geografi Realignment of electoral constituencies and gerrymandering: A measurement using GIS in Kedah state constituency Abstract Recently, technology development has indirectly led to the use of geographic information system (GIS) in the electoral process, in Malaysia. -

Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia *E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A total of 426 individuals from six families, six genera and ten species were collected from Tanjung Dawai while a total of 351 individuals from five families, five genera and six species were collected from Pulau Sayak. Six families that were found from Tanjung Dawai were Littorinidae, Neritidae, Potamididae, Ellobiidae, Muricidae and Assimineidae while five families that were found from Pulau Sayak were Littorinidae, Ellobiidae, Muricidae, Assimineidae and Naticidae. The abundant species at both mangrove areas were Cerithidea cingulata and Naticidae sp. Shannon Diversity Index and Evenness Index for Tanjung Dawai were 1.95 and 0.85, respectively. Shannon Diversity Index and Evenness Index for Pulau Sayak were 1.27 and 0.71, respectively. Both of the mangroves habitats of Tanjung Dawai and Pulau Sayak, Kedah appeared to have low snail species diversity but still sustain some common gastropod families of tropical mangroves. It is essential to have an economically and ecologically sound management plan in order to make the mangroves ecologically viable as well as a source of economy. Key words: snail, species richness, mangrove, Tanjung Dawai, Pulau Sayak.
