  • Density Indexes in Determining an Urban Sprawl Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques
    International Conference on Urban and Regional Planning, 2014 Density Indexes in Determining an Urban Sprawl using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques. NORZAILAWATI MOHD NOOR, ALIAS ABDULLAH AND NUR AULIA ROSNI Urban and Regional Planning Department Kulliyah Architecture and Environment Design International Islamic University Malaysia 50278 Kuala Lumpur Email:[email protected] Abstract Urban density represents the amount of land occupied by a number of residents and an important factor in understanding how cities function. It is one of the essential components in measuring urban sprawl. The urban density index provides a measure of how much land is consumed per capita for a patch of new development. It is commonly asserted that higher density cities are more sustainable than low density cities because it consumes more land for each resident leaving less of the landscape able to function in other capacities. While some researcher argue that low-density urban area contributed to sprawl, others have counter that higher density results in more negative impact. Characterizing urban sprawl by using density index requires suitable and proper technique. This research attempts to study the measurement of sprawl by using density index with Remote Sensing and Geo-information System (GIS) approach. The SPOT-5 images with 2.5 meters resolution were used and combined with GIS database to analyse the growth of sprawl in Kuala Lumpur metropolitan due to its high-density development. To achieve a better urban development and infrastructure planning in the future, it is crucial for the City Hall to know sprawl phenomenon in Kuala Lumpur, its types, distribution, factors, and the way it is likely to move in the years to come.

  • Sports Facilities Development Towards Sustainable Community: a Case Study of Kuala Lumpur
    SPORTS FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY: A CASE STUDY OF KUALA LUMPUR 1Maassoumeh Barghchi, 1Dasimah bt Omar, and 2Mohd Salleh Aman 1Department of Town and Regional Planning, Faculty of Architecture, Planning & Surveying Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam, 40450 Selangor, Malaysia 2Sports Centre, University of Malaya (UM), 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract Sports and sports facilities development have improved rapidly over the past years in Malaysia. However, such improvements are inadequate compared to the overall development of sports at international level. In recent years sport is getting more and more influential and it will continue to grow in importance, even for developing countries. Increase in the amount of public money being spent on sports facilities, at the same time, increase in the number of sports facilities as well as increasingly importance of sustainability necessitate demand to investigate issues surrounding sports facilities development especially in Kuala Lumpur as the regional and national centre for sporting activities. The long-term benefits to cities and local communities need to achieve more initiative by decision-makers. However, sustainability is more important for sports facilities due to requirement of huge money for construction, ancillary needs and constant maintenance costs. This research aims to examine the effectiveness and intangible benefits of sports facilities in Kuala Lumpur through residents' perceptions. Four case studies each selected from one of the four managing zones of sports facilities developed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall provide information for this research. The research able to rank the case studies based on residents' perception towards their attitude about facilities and programmes, using of the facilities, and respondents’ willingness to pay.

This article takes an interdisciplinary method and empirical approaches to examine, in addition where necessary, challenge a series of assumptions made regarding Landslide Risk Management (LRM) with a view to developing better understanding of social vulnerability on landslide hazard and its underlying causes alongside combine expert judgment on triggering factors. Moreover, the contribution of Malaysia Public Works Department (PWD/JKR) via the implication of National Slope Master Plan (NSMP 2009-2023) operational capabilities and its effectiveness on landslide risk mitigation measures is reviewed. The finding on the influence of landslide causative and triggering factors have shown steepness of slope was greatly functioned as a landslide primary causative factor on mass movement whereas, in Kuala Lumpur rainfall and human activities plays significant role in triggering landslide on a slope vulnerable to failure. The result suggests occupants of landslide prone areas have decent perceptions of landslide and its associated risk. Contrary wise, a loss of confidence by local residents on government authorities on implementing appropriate hazard mitigation measures, lack of voluntary data sharing and insufficiency public awareness campaigns conducted by Malaysian local authorities.

  • An Economic Valuation of Urban Green Spaces in Kuala Lumpur City
    Pertanika J. Soc. Sci. & Hum. 26 (1): 469 - 490 (2018) SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Journal homepage: http://www.pertanika.upm.edu.my/ An Economic Valuation of Urban Green Spaces in Kuala Lumpur City Nur Syafiqah, A. S.1, A. S. Abdul-Rahim1*, Mohd Johari, M. Y.2 and Tanaka, K.3 1Department of Economics, Faculty Economics and Management, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia 2Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Design and Architecture, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia 3Research Centre for Sustainability and Environment, Shiga University, Japan ABSTRACT An economic value of urban green space (UGS) in Kuala Lumpur (KL) city is estimated in this study. A global model and a local model are formulated based on hedonic price method. The global and local models were analysed with an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and a Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) respectively. Both the models were compares to see which model offered a better result. The results of OLS regression illustrated that Titiwangsa and Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) offer the highest economic value for model 2 and 3 respectively. The results of GWR determined that the economic value of an UGS can be analysed by the region. The GWR result revealed that FRIM provides high economic value to all the residential areas in KL city. However, the economic value of Titiwangsa is not valuable for the residential areas in KL city including Mont Kiara Pines, Jinjang Selatan, Segambut Garden, Bandar Menjalara and Taman Bukit Maluri. As a conclusion, even though Titiwangsa generates the highest economic value, it is only significant at certain residential areas as proved by the local model.
