  • Satisfaction on Housing Quality in Mukim Bandar Johor Bahru and Mukim Plentong
    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.

Furthermore, it takes slope are the types of slope failure. These can be caused by longer time to complete the investigation and some of the excessive load imposed at the slope crest or compromised data collected are inaccurate because human view is stability of the slope, and disturbed dimensions of the limited.

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.

    World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Bioengineering and Life Sciences Vol:8, No:1, 2014 Dissolved Oxygen Prediction Using Support Vector Machine Sorayya Malek, Mogeeb Mosleh, Sharifah M. Syed [10]-[12]. ANN is a well-suited method with self-adaptability, Abstract—In this study, Support Vector Machine (SVM) self-organization, and error tolerance for nonlinear simulation. technique was applied to predict the dichotomized value of Dissolved However, this method has limitationsdue to its complex oxygen (DO) from two freshwater lakes namely Chini and Bera Lake structure that requires a great amount of training data, (Malaysia). Data sample contained 11 parameters for water quality difficulty in tuning the structure parameter that is mainly features from year 2005 until 2009. All data parameters were used to predicate the dissolved oxygen concentration which was based on experience, not sensitive to the noise produce and its dichotomized into 3 different levels (High, Medium, and Low). The “black box” nature that makes it difficult to understand and input parameters were ranked, and forward selection method was interpret the data [13], [14]. applied to determine the optimum parameters that yield the lowest Considering the drawbacks of ANN, recently support vector errors, and highest accuracy. Initial results showed that pH, Water machine (SVM) are become widely used for predicting the Temperature, and Conductivity are the most important parameters DO concentration [15], [16]. It is a new machine-learning that significantly affect the predication of DO. Then, SVM model was applied using the Anova kernel with those parameters yielded technology based on statistical theory and derived from 74% accuracy rate.
