  • Towards a Sustainable Landscape of Urban Parks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: a Study from a Management Perspective
    Towards a sustainable landscape of urban parks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A study from a management perspective By: Roziya Ibrahim A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Social Science in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Landscape University of Sheffield United Kingdom May 2016 ABSTRACT Kuala Lumpur’s urban parks have evolved to fulfil the needs of its multi-cultural urban communities since the conception of its first public park in the late 19th century. Nevertheless, the management and maintenance of these tropical urban parks are currently under pressure as local authorities have no longer adequate funding to maintain the existing landscape as they have to focus on addressing the impact of environmental problems; particularly frequent flooding that has been a never-ending issue facing the city. There are growing pressures on resources, especially on water supply, in response to urbanization and population growth. Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur’s urban parks were highly dependent on potable water for landscape maintenance at a time of growing demand for this limited resource. There is a possibility that these urban parks can be managed in a more sustainable manner, which may consequently reduce their dependency on potable water resource for irrigation. They might also make a more positive contribution to managing stormwater control and increasing habitat diversity. The challenge, therefore, is to try and achieve a more sustainable, ecologically informed design and management practice without alienating park users, management, and maintenance staff. This research aims to investigate the potential of changing the design and management of Kuala Lumpur’s urban parks towards a more ecologically sustainable landscape practice.

  • Light Rail Transit Stations
    Light Rail Transit Stations Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Architect: Arkitek Kitas Sendirian / Tay Kiam Seng Client: Sistem Transit Aliran Ringan Built Area: 60’190 m² Cost: n.a. Kuala Lumpur’s first two light rail transit (LRT) lines were built on a limited budget. The c 27 miles of track serve 25 stations, many of them in challenging situations spanning over the river or existing roads. The design concept is based on the traditional Malay ‘wakaf’, or wayside rest-stop - a simple exposed timber structure with open sides and a layered roof. In the LRT stations this is translated into an exposed structure with minimal brick or concrete masonry walls and a layered roof consisting of metal decks supported by large-span tubular steel members. 3198.MAL 2007 Award Cycle 2007 On Site Review Report 3198.MAL by Hanif Kara Light Rail Transit Stations Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Architect Arkitek Kitas Sendirian / Tay Kiam Seng Client Sistem Transit Aliran Ringan Design 1994 - 1996 Completed 1998 Kuala Lumpur Light Rail Transit System Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I. Introduction Sistem Transit Aliran Ringin (STAR) is the operator of System 1 of the Kuala Lumpur Light Rail Transit System (KLLRT). This was built in two phases. Phase I is approximately 12 kilometres long and runs from Ampang to Jalan Sultan Ismail. The first 9.5 kilometre-stretch is at-grade, utilising the existing but disused Malayan Railways corridor; the remainder of the route is elevated. Thirteen stations were built for Phase 1, including an administration building and depot and stabling yard at Ampang. Phase II is approximately 15 kilometres long and extends the Phase 1 line in both directions: 3.2 kilometres northwards (along the elevated portion) to Sentul Timur, and 11.8 kilometres southwards to the Commonwealth Games Village and Bukit Jalil Station, which serves the national sports complex.

  • Craig Moore (August 2018) Kuala Lumpur the Historic Development Of
    Craig Moore (August 2018) Kuala Lumpur The historic development of urban rail in Kuala Lumpur has been very fragmented, with the system being created, and expanded, through different ownership, construction, mode and operational styles. It was not until 2004, when Rapid KL took operational control of the LRT lines, that some semblance of integration became evident. In 2007 the Monorail was also brought under this brand and since then there has been an attempt to better assimilate urban rail provision in the capital area. Initially, this had mixed success but, more recently, there has been a strengthening of ambition and resources to make this work – and this has largely been successful. This trend, together with recent expansions of rail provision, means that metropolitan KL now has a significant rail ‘footprint’ with 10 lines and several different modes throughout the Federal District and surrounding parts of Selangor. Whilst Rapid KL services (MRT/LRT/Monorail) are undoubtedly the backbone of rail provision, this is supported by KTM suburban rail services and a private airport line to PutraJaya and KLIA. Rapid KL Services The first modern rail provision in KL was the Ampang/Sri Petaling Line (37km to Sri-Petaling and 8.1km branch to Ampang from Chan Sow Lin). It runs on standard-gauge track with third-rail power supply from the Sentul area in the north on an elevated structure along the Gombak River and through the original city centre. This part of the route is the most characterful and the rail elevation is a great way to see the city and its, somewhat, indiscriminate development.

  • An Urban Ethnography of the Klang River in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the Torrens River in Adelaide, South Australia
    PLACE, PEOPLE AND POLLUTION: AN URBAN ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE KLANG RIVER IN KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, AND THE TORRENS RIVER IN ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA NOR AZLIN TAJUDDIN M.Sc. Social Research Methods, University of Surrey, England B.HSc. (Hons.) Sociology and Anthropology, International Islamic University Malaysia This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Social Sciences Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2013 i ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores comparative river/human interactions in two contrasting urban locations: Malaysia's Klang River in Kuala Lumpur, and South Australia's Torrens River in Adelaide. Using ethnographic data, especially a series of river pollution stories, I show how and why people‘s attachment to each river can be understood within a place-based framework. Drawing on an interrelated mix of literature focused on concepts and connections to place by scholars such as Yi-Fu Tuan and Keith Basso, Mary Douglas‘s understanding of dirt and pollution, and research embedded in anthropological studies about people‘s relationship to water, I develop two overarching and interconnected arguments. The first is that people‘s views and practices in relation to pollution are profoundly affected by their sense of the river as a cherished but also often ambiguous place. Building on this emphasis, I suggest, secondly, that despite the seeming disparity between an Australian and Malaysian setting, people have similar views about the concept and actuality of pollution. Several common themes have emerged from my research. Threading a series of what I describe as river stories or narratives, I show how respondents placed a strong emphasis on visual perceptions of place with regard to a river‘s purity or cleanliness.
