    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 6, Issue 4, 2019 An Exploration of Community-Based Tourism in Kampung Baru Nelayan, Pekan Sungai Besar, Selangor *Syed Munir Barakbah Syed Faozi Barakbaha, Ambigai Pariasamyb, Mohd Rafie Mohd Taibc, Mohd Shahril Mat Yusofd, abFaculty of Business and Technology, UNITAR International University, cSchool of Culinary Arts, UNITAR International University, dUNITAR College, *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] The purpose of this study was to explore the community and its activities which could be enhanced as a community-based tourism product. Thus, the main theme of this research project was community- based tourism which included detailed examination of factors such as cultural resources, financial resources, community activities and natural resources. The selected site to explore the variables was the community in Kampung Baru Nelayan which is in Pekan Sungai Besar, a sub- district of Sabak Bernam, in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Information was collected via observation on the on-going community activities at specific times on the days of the study, and through unstructured interviews with the local community. The findings from this research indicate that Kampung Baru Nelayan had a vast community-based tourism product that could be further developed and enhanced to be made attractive for both domestic and international tourists. Key words: Community, community-based tourism, cultural resources, financial resources, natural resources, community activities. Introduction The concept of Community-based Tourism (CBT) could be found in the work of Murphy (1985), where he posed that tourism-related aspects could be developed in local communities. He further analysed those aspects in his later study (Murphy & Murphy, 2004).

    Compliance Behaviour of Business Zakat in Micro Enterprise Firms in Sabak Bernam District of Selangor

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP IN ISLAMIC ECONOMIC THEORY (4th IWIET 2020) ISBN: 978-967-17692-2-5 Compliance Behaviour of Business Zakat in Micro Enterprise Firms in Sabak Bernam District of Selangor Mohammad Firdaus Bin Ahmad Mohd Ali Bin Mohd Noor Hairunnizam Bin Wahid Faculty of Economics and Management Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Bangi, Selangor ABSTRACT Islam has decreed zakat (alms-giving) ritual as one of the demands in pillars of Islam functioning to purify one’s properties. Business zakat is a type of zakat applied to the business which comply with the conditions and nisab of zakat in a certain state. Arising research problem was of the unsatisfying performance in collection of business income in spite of progress in zakat collection in Malaysia indicating an increase every year. Objective of this research is to comprehend compliance behaviour of business zakat in micro enterprise firms in Sabak Bernam district using Theory of Planned Behaviour introduced by Ajzen (1991). Four main factors which are factor of religion, factor of attitude towards behaviour, factor of subjective norms, and factor of perceived behavioural control were accounted as the main factors for the implemented theory. Technique of binominal logistic regression analysis was applied to test the model of compliance behaviour in business zakat. A number of 105 questionnaires were distributed to micro enterprise players in service sector in Sabak Bernam district and it was found that research results indicated that the model of this study was consistent with suggestion by planned behaviour theory. Factor of perceived behavioural control was the most influencing factor of compliance behaviour of business zakat (β = 2.493) followed by factor of religion (β = 1.163) and then by factor of attitude towards business zakat (β = 1.054).

Abstract The problem of getting pregnant out of wedlock among the Muslim community is a big issue that is getting worse in this country. The establishment of women's shelters is one of the methods to curb these symptoms. However, the management of this center is often faced with the problem of lack of funds for operations due to the high total management costs. Zakat fund is seen as one of the solutions to this problem, especially for the allocation of asnaf zakat riqab. Therefore, this study aims to identify the interpretation of asnaf zakat riqab according to contemporary Islamic scholars as well as analyze the management of shelters for pregnant women out of wedlock and suggest a model of distribution of zakat asnaf riqab to Women Protection Centers. Qualitative research methods are used to obtain and complete the information of this study.

I am very greatly indebted to my supervisor, Dr Dan Etherington whose invaluable suggestions, criticisms, comments and guidance greatly inspired me to complete this research study. I am also greatful to Dr D.P. Chaudhri and Dr Clive Hamilton for their suggestions and advice during the course of the study. To Mr. Sean Foley, who helped in editing and also to Miss Yap Kim Lian, Ministry of Agriculture, Malaysia; Mr. Radzli Jaafar and my family who helped and provided the necessary information required in this study. I am greatful to all of them. To my wife, Zubaidah Arshard and son, Hanif for their understanding, and patience, I can hardly express the extent of my gratitude. And finally, to all my friends and colleagues, who contributed in diverse ways to this study, but too numerous to mention here, I am thankful. iv ABSTRACT This paper examines the changing land use of agricultural areas in Selangor State generally and specifically near urban areas of Kuala Lumpur between 1966 and 1982. Using two contrasting models designed to explain the spatial location of agricultural enterprises, the study found that von Thunen's model has become less relevent due to the modernization of transportation system with consequent significant reduction in transport costs.

    Pioneer Settlers and State Control : A Javanese Migrant Title Community in Selangor, Malaysia Author(s) Sekimoto, Teruo Citation 東南アジア研究 (1994), 32(2): 173-196 Issue Date 1994-09 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/56517 Right Type Journal Article Textversion publisher Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 32, No.2, September 1994 Pioneer Settlers and State Control: A Javanese Migrant Community in Selangor, Malaysia Terua SEKIMOTO* Abstract This is a case study of a Javanese rural community on the northern coast of Selangor, Malaysia, combining both field research and historical study. From the last decades of the nineteenth century through the beginning of the Second World War, a large number of Javanese migrated from Java to the southwestern states of Malaya. They are now integrated into the Malay population of Malaysia, but, in many cases, still maintain Javanese cultural traits such as language and customs. However, this paper is not a study of Javanese ethnicity in Malaysia. It will be shown that the history and present conditions of the Javanese have been determined by their relation not to other ethnics but the state, whether colonial or independent. The first part of the paper examines the past history of the Javanese migrants as pioneer settlers in the frontier, their struggle against both a tough natural environment and obstacles imposed by the British colonial state. The second part deals with their life under the rural development schemes of the Malaysian government. The Javanese community under study is now divided by people's attitudes toward the nation-state and its policies. The author argues that this internal division is a reflection of their attitude toward the state: incorporation into the state or distance from it.
