Trends in Undergraduate Research (2021) 4(1): h1-11 https://doi.org/10.33736/tur.3091.2021 Satisfaction on Housing Quality in Mukim Bandar Johor Bahru and Mukim Plentong YANG HAZIQAH MUSA, ADIBAH YUSUF* Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Housing study is one of the vital subjects these days as a home is a part of every person. The significance of it is undeniable because it has become one of the necessities of human life. Studies have shown that housing adequacy is connected with the Quality of Life because everything starts at home. The preceding housing problems will reflect on the policy problems of local authorities and management. Some of the previous aftermaths on housing might affect the balance and sustainability of residents. A lot of issues about housing have been drawn to the media especially in Malaysia. Water supply crisis, flood issue, a technical issue like elevator problem, waste management, security, lack of facilities such as public transport are some of the examples. It is also affecting the satisfaction towards housing quality indirectly. This study investigates the satisfaction on housing quality in Mukim Bandar Johor Bahru and Mukim Plentong, Johor Bahru, Johor which cover a total of 696,500 people. A sample of 196 respondents is surveyed to identify the locals' satisfaction with their housing quality in three aspects which are the physical of house, infrastructure, and the environment by using Cochran’s formula. Descriptive analysis is used to analyse the quantitative data obtained. -

Fauzi Greenovation Research Group (GRG), Research Alliance Resource Sustainability, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), 81310 UTM Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia [email protected] Land use/ cover (LULC) changes in Malaysia are drastic and have caused many environment problems. In Malaysia, LULC mapping often emphasized on municipal level and a few on state and national levels. While, mapping in detail level such as village scale is still in dearth. Hence, this study aims to map the LULC changes in a village scale at urban, suburb and rural areas of Muar. Latest available Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial data year 2010 were obtained from Department of Agriculture Muar. The processing methods mainly involve the operation of GIS and Google Earth. We calculated the percentage of urbanization for every sub-district and selected three plots to compare the LULC changes in year 2010 and 2015, a five years’ interval. Results showed that urban area, Bandar Maharani has changed slightly in term of overall LULC. For Sungai Terap, agricultural land has greatly declined because it was converted to barren land and open space for new housing, industrial areas and commodity’s plants. -

Manager's Report
Manager’s Report First Asset Disposal – Axis North Port LC 1 The Manager announced on the 17 January 2011 that the Trustee for Axis-REIT, had entered into a sale and purchase agreement in relation to the disposal of Axis North Port LC 1 for a total lump sum cash consideration of RM14.5 million to Freight Management (M) Sdn Bhd . Salient points of the disposal are as follows: Proposed Disposal Price = RM14,500,000 Estimated net gain on disposal = RM803,000 Estimated real property gain tax = RM41,000 Estimated net gain available for distribution = RM762,000 Rationale In less than 5 years of ownership , the Manager believes it has optimized the potential of Axis North Port LC 1.The Manager also felt that there was a limited upside to future rental growth and therefore this was an opportune time to sell the asset and re-deploy the capital for more yield accretive properties. The Manager intends to distribute the net gain (estimated to be RM762,000) on the disposal (after 5% real property gains tax) to unitholders in 2011 by way of tax exempt income distribution. The balance will be used to reduce gearing to provide Axis-REIT with headroom for future acquisition. The Proposed Disposal of Axis North Port LC1 will translate to a distribution of approximately 0.20 sen per Unit. This is part of our strategy to optimize the Fund’s portfolio in order to maximize returns to the Unitholders. The disposal is expected to be completed before the end of the 2Q 2011. 34 AXIS-REIT | ANNUAL REPORT 2010 AXIS-REIT | ANNUAL REPORT 2010 35 INVESTOR RELATIONS REPORT (II) The proposed placement of 68,819,800 new Units, and Unitholders' Meetings (III) The proposed increase in Fund size to 375,901,000 Units In 2010, the Board unanimously resolved that the Manager will hold one Unitholders meeting every financial year, The Manager is pleased to report that all resolutions were irrespective if there were resolutions to be tabled for approval passed unanimously. -
