    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 18 ISSUE 3 (2020), Page 241 – 250 EVALUATION OF LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) ON ROUTES OF SMART BUS IN KAJANG, SELANGOR Nur Shazreena Mat Shukri1, Zakiah Ponrahono2, Yakin Nur Sunoto3, & Wan Noratikah Wahidah Wan Ghazali4 1,2,3,4 Department of Environment Faculty of Forestry and Environment UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA Abstract Level of service (LOS) is a method used for the development of transportation infrastructure designations based on a specific analysis. The concept of LOS lies on the importance of an assessment of roadway operational performance services for the improvement of bus service delivery. A high performance of bus service delivery could relatively influence the satisfaction level of its users. This study assesses the LOS of three main designated routes of SMART buses in Kajang Selangor (KJ01, KJ02, and KJ03). The SMART buses are free buses provided under a free transit programme which aims to encourage people to use public transportation. An on-board survey and inventory observation were employed to collect the data. Findings indicate that KJ01, KJ02, and KJ03 fall under the category of LOS D considering the attributes of service frequency, service hours, passenger load/thresholds, and speed of bus. The discovery may serve as a useful guidance for the development of a comprehensive plan for LOS to be coordinated in improving the service quality of bus transportation.

  • The Perception of Planning Stakeholders in the Implementation of Kajang Municipal Council Local Plan 2020 with Reference to Public Facilities Sector
    THE PERCEPTION OF PLANNING STAKEHOLDERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF KAJANG MUNICIPAL COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN 2020 WITH REFERENCE TO PUBLIC FACILITIES SECTOR BY NUR AULIA BT ROSNI A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science (Built Environment) Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design International Islamic University Malaysia JULY 2015 ABSTRACT The study examines the implementation of the Kajang Municipal Council Local Plan 2020 with reference to public facilities sector. Local plan is the document containing policies that guide the way of development planning and Local governance. It is the lowest tier of administrative authority as required by the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172) and Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171). It forms the basis of the development plan of a locality in Malaysia. However, the efficiency of its implementation is questioned by those who have an interest in the planning practice, namely the stakeholders. The public facilities sector was chosen as the research subject, because it has been regarded by the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning Peninsular Malaysia as one of the most important indicators of sustainable development. The planning principles for public facilities provision has been categorized into four scopes, namely (i) Availability, (ii) Quantity, (iii) Location, and (iv) Condition. Data collection was conducted in three main settlement areas within Mukim Kajang - Kajang Town, Bangi Town and Bandar Baru Bangi. The research methods comprised of field survey, observation and document analysis, wherein all the data were analysed using SPSS software. The key findings of this study include (i) Lack of Stakeholders Involvement in Decision Making Process, (ii) Lack of Awareness among the Local Community, (iii) Issues in Public Facilities Monitoring and Maintenance, and (iv) Inability to implement the Public Facilities.

  • Waste Management in the City of Shah Alam, Malaysia
    Waste Management and the Environment IV 605 Waste management in the city of Shah Alam, Malaysia D. B. Omar Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA 40450 Shah Alam, Malaysia Nazrul Hisham bin Osman City Council of Shah Alam 40000 Malaysia Abstract Malaysia has been undergoing rather rapid urbanisation since the beginning of the 20th century. The level of urbanisation increased from 55.1 per cent in 1995 to 61.8 per cent in 2000, 63 per cent in 2005 and is expected to increase to 63.8 by 2010. The total population of Malaysia was 26.75 million in 2005 and is expected to increase to 28.96 million by 2010. This increase leads to more solid waste. The Klang Valley is the most urbanised region with 45 per cent of Malaysian urban centres being located here. The city of Shah Alam is one of the major centres in the Klang Valley and is a developing new town. Solid waste management is a major problem in the city of Shah Alam and new strategies are needed which aim at involving all citizens and achieving a sustainable environment. The City Council of Shah Alam requires waste compositional information at the local level to plan, implement and monitor waste management schemes that will enable them to meet their contribution to the national targets. This paper will discuss the current situation in the city of Shah Alam and the National Strategic Plan for Solid Waste Management. Keywords: urbanisation, population, solid waste management, citizens, sustainable environment. 1 Introduction Malaysia is now at the mid-point of its journey towards becoming a developed country by 2020.

  • Economic Valuation of an Urban Lake Recreational Park: Case of Taman Tasik Cempaka in Bandar Baru Bangi, Malaysia
    sustainability Article Economic Valuation of an Urban Lake Recreational Park: Case of Taman Tasik Cempaka in Bandar Baru Bangi, Malaysia Jamal Othman 1 and Yaghoob Jafari 2,* 1 Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, UKM Bangi Selangor 43600, Malaysia; [email protected] 2 Institute for Food and Resource Economics, University of Bonn, Nußallee, 2153115 Bonn, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-228-73-2502 Received: 11 February 2019; Accepted: 11 April 2019; Published: 28 May 2019 Abstract: There is growing public support for an outdoor, nature-based urban park, which offers the local population a wide range of recreational services for an improved quality of life. This study estimates the economic value of recreational benefits for the case of a lake-based urban park known as Taman Tasik Cempaka (TTC) in Bandar Baru Bangi in Selangor, Malaysia. The Travel Cost Method (TCM) was used to generate the demand function for park visitation and the recreational benefits were estimated using the Poisson and Negative Binomial (NB) models. The net benefits of recreation per visitor were evaluated at MYR 6.2 per trip while the price elasticity of demand was highly inelastic at 0.48. The result provides support for the imposition of an entrance fee and the subsequent revenue − collection may be used for park upkeep and conservation. Keywords: urban parks; Malaysia; urban planning; environmental valuation; travel cost method 1. Introduction Urban parks are outdoor, nature-based sites that primarily serve a defined urban area to conduct an array of recreational or leisure activities, ranging from indulgence in the tranquil, natural environment, to active and participatory activities such as fishing, bird watching, jogging, children’s playgrounds and other activities specific to the biophysical and landscape features of the parks.
