Resultant impacts of mobility increase within the Klang Valley , for example, congestion, parking problem and air pollution have highlighted the reason for a move towards the use of more sustainable transport modes within the cities. Hence the need for effective and reliable public transport. It is perceived that Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) feeder buses hold the guarantee of easing the growing congestion in Klang Valley if they are managed efficiently and sustainably. For this reason, this research expands the exploration of the MRT feeder bus services quality by evaluating the passengers' level of satisfaction. A quantitative approach was employed for this study by administration of the questionnaire. A total of 303 survey forms were collected through convenience sampling. The study's findings confirmed the efficiency and effectiveness of services provision. Surveys showed that most riders (62.7%) were females with the majority possessing a bachelor’s degree and above (64.4%). Also, a large proportion of the riders fell into the age group category between 20 and 29 years (69.0%), with less than half of the respondents earning an average monthly income of above RM 6,000 (45.9%). Most of the respondents were satisfied with the overall quality (above 80% satisfactory) but punctuality, waiting and travel times as well as services frequency of this first and last mile connection (FLM) had left a lot to be desired. The study also found significant relationships between gender and the fear of crime as well as conditions of bus stops. Thus, it recommends overall enhancement of service with safer environment for female riders and an increase in the service frequency of the MRT feeder buses to retain the existing users and attract more new users.

The outbreak of COVID-19 caused the Malaysian Government to take steps to implement the Movement Control Order (MCO). According to Bank Negara Malaysia, the implementation of MCO will have an impact on national incomes, with Malaysia’s estimated economic growth in 2020. The effect of MCO not only affects the macro level, but also at the micro level, particularly those groups of households with the lowest income of 40%. (B40). The B40 income group is a group of households that are expected to face high economic risk and directly affect their patterns of consumption during the implementation of the MCO. This study contributes to the empiric study related to COVID-19 and the implementation of MCO in the B40 group. This study analysed the pattern of financial and consumption of B40 households in Malaysia during the implementation of MCO. The findings show that the financial situation of the B40 household has changed the patterns of daily consumption following the implementation of the MCO.

Personality and Lifestyles [PL] of those practicing environmentally-aware way of life manifest in collectivistic cultures, modesty and moderation in material pursuits, and environmental mindfulness. Issue: 10 years has passed since the vision of green city was introduced. The collective ecological PL of Melaka public is called to be evaluated to determine how far have the citizen accepted and owed allegiance in the green initiative efforts. Purpose: This paper aims to compare the environmentally-aware collective PL of Melaka residents to residents of other states in Malaysia. Approach: One-Way MANOVA was generated to determine the mean distribution of 10 PL items, across Malaysia States. Findings: There were significant differences within subjects of the 10 PL items between-subjects of Malaysia States. The Post-Hoc Test indicated majority of the means of PL items for Melaka were significantly higher than other states. However, in relation to other states, Melaka fell short on the component of Voluntary Modesty, which indicators were (i) PL5, practicing moderation in purchasing and using resources, (ii) PL6, feeling unconcerned if not able to afford things, and (ii) PL7, believing that having many assets does not lead to happiness.

Masjid is the symbol of the greatness of Islam. It is the focal point of the life of every muslim. As such, the administration of masjid acts as its backbone and plays a vital role in ensuring the purpose of the masjid is holistic and comprehensive in reaching the community, including the interest of children. Their needs must be fulfilled spiritually, physically, and socially. This study aims to identify the perceptions of the masjid's administrator on children at the masjid. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview. Nine representatives from nine masjids in the Peninsular Malaysia (7 in Kuala Lumpur, 1 in Selangor and 1 in Pahang) were interviewed. The NVivo software was used to analyse the in-depth interview data to explore and understand the issues and challenges of handling the masjid's community socially and physically when it comes to having children at the masjid, as well as initiatives taken by the masjid's administration in accommodating children at the masjid. The findings suggest that the masjid's administrators are optimistic towards the presence of children in the masjid but faced some challenges - physically and socially. Some of the masjids are in the process of realising the children-friendly masjid aspirations. They provide spaces and activities/programmes for children in the masjid. The perception of masjid’s administrator is important to be understood as these are the people responsible in managing and engaging the people with masjid.

Urbanisation has led to increased traffic use and congestion in various cities around the world. Various policies and strategies have been implemented to address the issue. One of the most popular strategies is the development of transit system, including mass rapid transit (MRT) and light rapid transit (LRT). To ensure the success of the transit system, the concept of Transit Oriented Development, in which land uses around the stations that are developed for urban development has been implemented. This paper evaluates a possible relationship between land uses around the station and ridership in selected stations along the Kelana Jaya LRT line in the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area, Malaysia. The land uses around the station were calculated using Land Use and Public Transport Accessibility Index (LUPTAI). The research did not conclusively find a strong relationship between LUPTAI and ridership. This was perhaps due to the fact that almost all stations had been developed for urban land uses, such as commercial, residential and public facilities, thus giving all stations almost the same index figures. It is hope that a more detailed index that accounts for type and mixture of development on land, as well as the density for residential areas would probably give a better index result, as well as perhaps a stronger relationship with ridership figures.

The increase of the elderly population in Malaysia can be one of the main challenges to planners, architects and policy makers. This indicates that provision of a suitable neighbourhood design for a population of different ages is necessary. The elderly group requires specific design standards in neighbourhood planning to ensure a comfortable, conducive and safe living environment. It is a known fact that health issues are part and parcel in elderly care. Having a proper neighbourhood design will likely contribute to an increase in health care services and safety of the elderly. This study analysed the people’s perspective on the needs of elderly-friendly neighbourhood in Malaysia and the elements that should be taken into consideration to fulfil the needs. This study aimed to observe the opinion of the elderly, as well as young people for future planning. Data were collected from the residents in the study areas which were Kajang and Sungai Chua. These study areas are located in Hulu Langat district, in which a high percentage of the elderly population was available. The respondents were chosen to participate in a survey in a form of questionnaire that was administered in the study areas. The questionnaire survey did not specifically focus only on older people, but also towards the young people. These young people will either become a caretaker of their elderly or an elderly in the future. Results of this study concluded that elderly-friendly neighbourhood was indeed important and the most suitable type of house for the elderly was single-storey. The elderly-friendly neighbourhood should also be equipped with elements that prioritised the physical activity of the residents. This study provides insights in order to promote the elderly-friendly neighbourhood concept.

This article attempts to discuss the implementation of standards approach, 2 hectares per 1000 population as approved by the National Physical Planning Council in 2005. Using Kuala Lumpur as case study, the analysis showed that the uniformity of standards approach implementation has failed to take into account the distinction within the local conditions which have implications on the level of achievement for the 6 planning zones in Kuala Lumpur from 2011 to 2017. Use of the standards approach without modifications has created high density zones such as the City Centre, Sentul-Manjalara and Wangsa Maju-Maluri failed to attain the standards. Besides, other zones namely Damansara-Penchala, Bandar Tun Razak-Sungai Besi and Bukit Jalil-Seputih have exceeded the targeted standards. Based on the analysis, the distinction of local condition for each zone in Kuala Lumpur in terms of population number, urban land availability, land value, urbanization process and densification rate of the city need to be considered in implementing standards approach.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the spatial dominance in public spaces from a gendered and women perspectives and to analyse the relationship with the spatial configuration of street networks. In analysing the street networks in Space Syntax, the question arises; to what extent the movement and activity may explain street integration among gender-based pedestrians. The result found that there is a correlation between spatial configurative analyses and women present in the streets. In essence, the less integrated streets attract more women pedestrians and improve better quality of space. The research is relevant to spatial design interventions and policymaking to enhance gender equal access to public space.

Transit orientation development always been associated as the transport solution for traffic congestion especially in the city. Nevertheless, there is a gap in the research in the suburban area. This paper discusses about the possibility to apply the concept in the suburban area as the solution for urban sprawling. Therefore, four principles have been identified in order for a transit orientation development suit in the suburban necessity. The principles are being central area, density and mixed land uses; the connection between the central area and the transit; developed based on need of density and designed by specific development agency; funding mechanism to allow transit orientation development. The conclusion is transit orientation development is not applied for problem solving, but to avoid future issues.

External Condition [EC] to eco-behaviours relates to the macro context of a person representing the person’s facade towards his context. EC manifests in the perception and attitude towards surrounding circumstances such as the accessibility to conducive natural surroundings, encouragement to pro environmental behaviours, convenience to be environmentally responsible and favourable law enforcement. Issue: 10 years has passed since the Green City Action Plan [MGCAP] and Sustainable Urban Development Framework [SUDF] were introduced. The Melaka EC to eco-behaviours needs to be assessed to determine the impact of the MGCAP and SUDF to EC of eco-behaviours. Purpose: This paper aims to compare the EC of Melaka residents to residents of other states in Malaysia. Approach: One-Way MANOVA was generated to determine the mean distribution of 10 EC items, across Malaysia States. Findings: There were significant differences within subjects of the 10 EC items between-subjects of Malaysia States. The Post-Hoc Test indicated almost all of the means of EC items for Melaka were higher than other states. The MGCAP and the SUDF shows a positive impact on the EC to a sustainable community.
