This book greatly supports the aims and objectives of the International Year of Planet Earth as proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations for 2008 and extended by the IYPE Corporation to 2007 and 2009. These aims and ambitions focus on raising awareness for the great importance of the geosciences for the daily life of citizens to arrive at safer, healthier and more prosperous societies on this planet. They are also geared at convincing politicians and decision makers to effectively apply the knowledge accumulated in the minds of and through the publications by the about 400,000 active geoscientists in the world, among which, rapidly growing numbers are serving in East and Southeast Asian region. Moreover, the IYPE aims to excite people and in particular youth in gaining interest in the world surrounding them and to be captured by the stories stones and landscapes can tell us about how our planet has developed to its present state. The Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia is incredibly rich but has not yet gained the attention by the public at large that it deserves. Therefore, IYPE Corporation is very happy that the initiators for this book selected geoheritage as the topic for their contribution to the International Year of Planet Earth. By distributing this beautiful book widely throughout the region we hope and expect that it will enhance the appreciation for the beauty of the Earth and interest of the public in the exciting science behind it. The International Year of Planet Earth is being celebrated in 74 nations around the globe including China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The IYPE Corporation is very pleased that all these countries in East and Southeast Asia have contributed to this book. Our gratitude also extends to LESTARI and UKM for their generous financial contribution to realize this book. This is a fine example of the successful and effective cooperation among the geoscientific communities in the region which is an extra asset to the legacy of the IYPE. We are most thankful, therefore, to CCOP and the persons behind this great initiative and we wish them that this accessible book will be read and appreciated by the numerous citizens that populate this region. Eduardo de Mulder Executive Director IYPE Corporation vii Message from CCOP he year 2008 was declared by the 60th United Nations General Assembly to be the International Year of Planet Earth. It was agreed that “the TT Assembly would encourage Member States, the United Nations system and other actors to use the Year to increase awareness of the importance of Earth sciences in achieving sustainable development and promoting local, national, regional and international action” To this end the International Year of Planet Earth aims not only to organize wide ranging geoscientific programmes but also a programme of outreach activities appropriate to audiences from all sectors of society. It is the biggest ever international effort to promote the Earth sciences as sources of knowledge that are vital to mankind’s future survival. The principal target groups for the Year’s broader messages are: " Decision makers and politicians who need to be better informed about how Earth scientific knowledge can be used to achieve sustainable development. " The public who need to know how Earth scientific knowledge can contribute to a better society; a safer and wealthier society. " Geoscientists, who are very knowledgeable about various aspects of the Earth but who need help in applying their knowledge for the benefit of the world’s population today and tomorrow. The Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) strongly supports the aims of the International Year of Planet Earth. CCOP is an inter-governmental organization with eleven Member Countries from the region: Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Its mission is to facilitate and coordinate the implementation of applied geoscience programmes in order to contribute to the economic development and an improved quality of life within the region. This is achieved through the promotion of capacity building, technology transfer, exchange of information and institutional linkages focused on sustainable resource development, management of geoinformation, geohazard mitigation and protection of the environment. The suggestion that CCOP should produce a book on geoheritage in the CCOP region to mark the International Year of Planet Earth was first put forward by two senior Honorary Advisers of CCOP, Dr Anthony Reedman and Dr Yoshihiko Shimazaki. This suggestion was endorsed by the CCOP Steering Committee in October, 2006. In the following Steering Committee meeting in March 2007, Dr Anthony Reedman, Prof Dr Mohd Shafeea Leman and Chen Shick Pei were named viii as co-editors of the proposed book and were given the task of guiding it through to publication and launch in 2008. A book production team comprising a National Coordinator from each CCOP Member Country, the Geo-information Coordinator of the CCOP Technical Secretariat, and the three co-editors was officially formed at the first Coordinators’ meeting held in Bangi, Malaysia in July 2007. During the meeting, the guidelines for Member Countries’ contributions were clarified, and agreed. Other overall aspects of the book were also discussed. Each Member Country was requested to prepare a chapter for the book following guidelines prepared by the co-editors and agreed in the Coordinators’ meeting. Member Countries were also encouraged to prepare a more detailed version of their chapter that could be published in their own language by their own IYPE National Committee. Subsequently, a further

The tropical region’s countries are rich with natural rainforests and the economies of the countries situated within the region are mainly driven by the agricultural industry. In order to fulfill the agricultural demand, land clearing has worsened the situation by degrading the land surface areas. Rampant land use activities have led to land degradation and soil erosion, resulting in implications on water quality and sedimentation of the river networks. This affects the ecosystem services, especially the hydrological cycles. Intensification of the sedimentation process has resulted in shallower river systems, thus increasing their vulnerability to natural hazards (i.e., climate change, floods). Tropical forests which are essential in servicing their benefits have been depleted due to the increase in human exploitation.

  • Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project Metro Manila, the Philippines
    Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project Metro Manila, The Philippines i Summary Metro Manila also called the National Capital Region (NCR) is situated in the south eastern part of the Philippines. Serving as the main economic culture and educational center, the region is a densely populated metropolitan area. The Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP) was designed to ensure secured and sufficient raw water supply to meet the current and future demands of the rapidly growing population of Metro Manila. The project focuses on the construction of a new 6.3 km tunnel (no. 4), intake structures at the Ipo dam and connecting structures of the transition basins, new aqueduct (no. 6)., rehabilitating and retrofitting of existing tunnels and aqueducts. The project is expected to restore the water transmission capacity of the Angat transmission system which currently operates about the 30% below its design capacity. Given the rapidly growing population of a highly populated Metro Manila, the project would ensure that a maximum capacity of 4.65 million m3/d of raw water is transmitted from the Angat dam at maximum efficiency. In addition, the execution of the project is expected to build the technical capacity of the staffs of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), who are the primary administrators of the project. The project features social and economic aspects that are targeted towards improving the livelihood and health conditions of source community’s programs and indigenous people. The project also has in place environmental safeguards that aim at reducing and mitigating direct and indirect impacts on the biotic and abiotic parts of the environment.

    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 6 No 3 S2 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy May 2015 Non-Formal Religious Education in Malay Muslim Community in Terengganu, Malaysia Asyraf Hj Ab Rahman, PhD Centre for Fundamental and Liberal Education, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu [email protected] Wan Ibrahim Wan Ahmad, PhD School of Social Development, Universiti Utara Malaysia [email protected] Hammadah Hj Ab Rahman Institut Perguruan Dato Razali Ismail, Kuala Terengganu [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n3s2p189 Abstract Terengganu is known as one of the center of religious traditional educations since many decades. The emergence of several traditional religious schools known as pondok has had a great impact on Muslim community in the area. The school used traditional mode of teaching methods and commonly handled in a study circle or halaqah guided by kitab kuning or old book as text books. Up to the present day, though some pondok schools are gradually replaced by modern schools receiving financial supports from the government, the traditional mode of teaching in the pondok are still popular including in some mosques of the state. This paper discusses the forms of teaching methods of religious education in the mosques and the pondok, besides looking at some roles of religious education to the Malay community. Data for the study were collected through unstructured interviews with key informants, coupled with participant observations conducted in selected mosques and pondok, besides published materials from secondary sources. All the data were analyzed using thematic approach. The study shows that there are various forms of classes and teaching methods conducted in the mosques and pondok schools whilst students attending the religious classes divided into two categories, the young and the older person.

  • The Future of North American Geoparks
    The Future of North American Geoparks Heidi Bailey and Wesley Hill Introduction Geoparks have proven to be highly successful in other parts of the world, particu- larly in Europe and China. The greatest strength of the geopark initiative is the attention it brings to earth heritage resources and the resulting socioeconomic development that occurs in rural areas. The future of the North American geoparks has yet to be decided. Because the geopark idea differs from other park concepts in North America, land managers and the pub- lic will likely have many questions about the program. This article addresses some of these questions and is intended to help further the discussion about the future of North American geoparks. What would be the structure of a North American geopark? A geopark is a destination identity similar in concept to a national heritage area. Geoparks are defined by the underlying geology of the landscape and transcend the boundaries of parks and other protected areas. A geopark operates as a partnership of people and land managers working to promote earth heritage through education and sustainable tourism. A North American geopark will not be a new category of protected area. The land remains entirely in the hands of local people and existing land management systems. Local, state, or national governments retain control of the public lands within a geopark. Private land remains in the hands of private owners. When an area is designated a geopark, it is man- aged through a bottom-up partnership approach. Does a geopark only focus on geology? A geopark is not just another geology park.
