  • Exploring Factors Influencing Recreational Participation at Templer Park, Selangor
    Proceedings of International Conference on Language, Education, Humanities &Social Sciences (i-LEdHS2021) EXPLORING FACTORS INFLUENCING RECREATIONAL PARTICIPATION AT TEMPLER PARK, SELANGOR Nawfal Kamarul Bahrain. Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam [email protected] Nurul Akmaniza Mohd Nasir Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam Abstract: Recreational activities are receiving much attention especially among urban communities. It is known that open green space is always capable of providing recreational opportunities to the local community. Templer Park, located between Rawang and Selayang, is seen as a strategic location to attract nearby communities from heavily populated areas to perform their recreational activities. However, the function of the park may be in doubt if the park has not successfully fulfilled the recreational needs and demands among local residents. Since more and more people are living in cities, Templer Park’s function as one of the most important green spaces in the state of Selangor must be understood because people’s interest for recreation activities is increasing too. Therefore, this study investigated the factors influencing participation in recreational activities at Templer Park. A total of 200 respondents were involved in this study by answering survey questionnaires regarding the factors that might contribute to their decision to choose Templer Park as a place for them to carry out recreational activities. Based on the data collected, this study found that the two main factors which put off respondents living nearby from coming to the park include being too busy with other chores and they thought that there was nothing interesting about the park that could attract them to go there.

  • Integrated Management of Malaysian Road Network Operations Through ITS Initiatives: Issues, Potentials and Challenges
    Integrated management of Malaysian road network operations through ITS Initiatives: issues, potentials and challenges Moazzem Hossain Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) GL33, Kelana Square, Kelana Jaya, PJ 47301, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract During the last twenty five years, rapid urbanization and industrialization have resulted considerable growth of Malaysian highway network. Apart from few specialized industrial zones, most of the industrial zones are established in close proximity of the urban areas in order to ensure the smooth supply of manpower especially for the dominating manufacturing sectors. This phenomenon resulted in a number of large regional units of transport demand base involving high private motorized trips and truck dependent freight trips. The growth of car and truck trips especially in the regions including sea ports is putting tremendous pressure on the capacity of these regions’s road network which cannot be subdued by only physical extension of the network which often proved to be costly also. As a result, a number of such regions e.g. Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Baru are experiencing the problems of congestion, accidents and air pollution on their highway network. In many developed countries integrated intelligent transport system (ITS) initiatives applied to these sorts of regional bases have been claimed to be successful in alleviating those problems in a cost-effective manner. This paper will investigate the issues related to such integrated application of ITS initiatives in Malaysia on a regional basis with particular focus on Klang Valley region. Starting from the basic ITS functionality, the paper will identify the potential focus areas such as data gathering, data communication among and across jurisdictions, System flexibility, smart use of alternative routes, public-private collaboration and integration of public-private agencies in terms of regional ITS operational needs.
