This exploratory research was conducted in a micro environment limited to two districts in the state of Selangor and focused toone residential property type only.

  • Chapter 6 Landuse Masterplan Study
    CHAPTER 6 LANDUSE MASTERPLAN STUDY 6.0 LAND-USE MASTERPLAN STUDY 6.1 INTRODUCTION 6.1.1 The Putrajaya Lake system is a man-made system. For it to perform as envisaged there is a need to develop an integrated land-use masterplan for the catchment, based on an adequate understanding of the natural system supporting it. 6.1.2 To develop the masterplan there is a need to review the existing land-use policies and land-use situation in the catchment. Based on the review and the land-use controls, recommended by the various specialists in the study team to ensure the success and sustainability of the Lake, an integrated land-use masterplan can then be develop to guide the future development in the catchment. 6.2 REVIEW OF LAND-USE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES 6.2.1 The Structure Plans 6.2.1.1 The current land-use policy in the catchment is governed by two district Structure Plans. They are: • The Structure Plan for Putrajaya and part of Sepang District • The Structure Plan for Petaling District and part of Klang District 6.2.1.2 The Structure Plan for Putrajaya and part of Sepang District has defined a set of policies for the planning and development of Putrajaya. The policies governing the planning and management of the area in the Putrajaya Lake Catchment are supposed to create a city possessing the following characteristics: • an “intelligent City” • a “City-in-a-Garden” • a city that meets the administrative needs of the federal government • a city with a carefully monitored physical and ambient environment • a city with a high quality living environment • a city that gives priority to public transport 6-1 Doc Ref: T9903/DOC/013 6.2.1.3 The Structure Plan also supported preservation of the existing development surrounding Putrajaya.

North Borneo is rich with natural resources that have boundless potentials for pharmaceutical product discovery that can lead to socio-economic development in rural areas as suppliers. Even though rich with cultural heritage and comprises of hundred sub-ethnic groups, detail documentation of ethnomedicinal knowledge in North Borneo from different ethnic groups is still limited and could disappear in no time. The ethnomedicinal knowledge of marsh clam (Geloina expansa) use in the Iranun community (respondents no.=28) living in Kampung Rampayan Ulu, Kota Belud in North Borneo were investigated and the concentration of iron, zinc and copper in different parts of marsh clam tissues were determined.

  • Quantifying Green Space Cooling Effects on the Urban Microclimate Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques
    Quantifying Green Space Cooling Effects on the Urban Microclimate using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques Siti Nor Afzan BUYADI, Wan Mohd Naim WAN MOHD and Alamah MISNI, Malaysia Key words: Urban Heat Island, urban green space, mono-window algorithm and cooling effects SUMMARY Urban heat island (UHI) is a phenomenon where temperature distribution in the urban area is significantly warmer than its surrounding suburban areas. One of the main causes of UHI is the replacement of natural surfaces by built surfaces through urbanization. Trees and vegetation play vital role to mitigate the UHI effects especially by regulating high temperature in saturated urban areas and their surrounding. This study attempts to evaluate the urban green spaces (UGS) cooling effects on the microclimate of the surrounding areas especially in a hot and humid tropical climate like Malaysia. Shah Alam Lake Garden (Shah Alam), Bandaran Kelana Park (Kelana Jaya) and Subang Ria Recreational Park (Subang Jaya) which are located in the Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia are selected as the study areas. UGS land cover profile and surface temperature distribution are derived from Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) image of 2009. Mono-window algorithm is used to generate temperature distribution map of the study areas. Land cover classification and land cover profile of the selected study areas are generated in the digital image processing software. Geographical Information System (GIS) is used to generate the land surface temperature (LST) map, measure the LST of selected points within specified buffer zones, perform overlay and buffer operations. The green space cooling effects intensity and the relationship between intensity and proximity from green space boundary are later determined.
