National parks serve as rural ecotourism attractions, even though this area is very fragile. Therefore, conservation management must be implemented to ensure the balance of the environment is maintained. This study aims to study the relationship between park management, issues and tourist satisfaction in a protected area, Kinabalu Park. Moreover, this study considers the mediating role of environmental issues on the relationship between park management and tourist satisfaction. Overall, 351 respondents agreed to participate. A questionnaire survey was administered to visitors of Malaysia’s Kinabalu National Park. In total, 351 completed questionnaires were returned and have been analysed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the resultant data using SmartPLS 2.0. The results showed that park management has a strong effect on tourist satisfaction and environmental issues. The results also revealed that environmental issues play a mediating role in the relationship between park management and tourist satisfaction. The findings of this study make a significant contribution to our current understanding of the importance of park management, especially in the protected area as well as addressing the existing issues and provide positive satisfaction to tourists. Through the results, it will significantly contribute to the conservation and management of the protected area to be more sustainable in the future.

The complete opening of the new Mass Rapid Transit System (MRT) Sungai Buloh - Kajang (SBK) of Klang Valley, Malaysia since July 2017 has been supported positively by transit researchers and public transport advocators alike. Multimodal public transport users make trips, usually involving transferring at interchanges. These interchanges are provided with several amenities facilitating each trip leg. This research recorded the perception of users of worship facilities provided at an interchanging node where several rails, bus, taxi, and other paratransit systems meet. This new rail system intersects with the other systems at Muzium Negara station. Using intercept off-board face to face questionnaire survey method, perception of the quality of worship facilities was captured between May and August 2019. Several explanatory variables such as socio economic and trip characteristics were set against the perception to identify factors influencing the perception. Results of the correlational analysis showed that both socio-demographic and trip characteristics influenced perception to various statistical significance degrees. Findings suggested that worship facilities were most utilised by passengers of MRT who relatively lower income, engaged in the public, specifically educational sector. Usage of MRT for commuting within the Klang Valley on monthly basis. The improvements in ventilation systems, prayer hall size and design, floor cleanliness, lighting and mirror design as well as shoe rack/clean area design were most sought by these passengers. As such, these should be the focus of strategies to be promptly adopted by interchanging nodes building managers to increase the quality of worship places provision.
自2017年7月起，马来西亚巴生谷的新捷运系统(MRT) Sungai Buloh - Kajang (SBK)全面开通，得到了交通研究人员和公共交通倡导者的积极支持。多式联运的公共交通用户出行，通常需要在交汇处换乘。这些交汇处为每一段旅程提供了便利设施。本研究记录了在轨道、公共汽车、出租车和其他辅助交通系统交汇的交汇处提供的礼拜设施的用户感知。这个新的铁路系统与Muzium Negara车站的其他系统相交。采用拦截式面对面问卷调查法，于2019年5月至8月期间对礼拜设施的质量进行了感知。几个解释变量，如社会经济和旅行特征设置反对感知，以确定影响感知的因素。相关分析结果表明，社会人口学特征和旅行特征对感知的影响程度具有不同的统计学意义。调查结果显示，乘坐捷运的乘客中，收入相对较低、从事公共活动，尤其是教育行业的人士，最常使用敬拜设施。每月在巴生谷内通勤的捷运使用率。这些乘客最希望改善通风系统、祈祷大厅的大小和设计、地板清洁度、照明和镜子设计以及鞋架/洁净区设计。因此，这些应该是交换节点建筑管理者迅速采取的策略重点，以提高礼拜场所的提供质量。

This research was conducted to examine dynamic space formation using urban space converts from housing to Small and Medium-size Enterprise (SME) commercial space in the street corridors of major cities in Indonesia. The study is necessary due to the rapid increase in population, observed to be affecting the urban socio-economic and physical aspects as evident with the sporadic growth of small and medium businesses in potential locations of urban street corridors where many plots of land for residential space have converted for commercial activities. The driving factors include business climate change, global economic crisis, democratic development, and decentralization of the economic sector. In depth field research was conducted concerning the changes in space use in Bendungan Hilir area of Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta as a sample. Deductive thinking with purposive strata area sampling and natural settings without manipulating the subjects studied were applied as the methods. Meanwhile, data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively from one collector street corridor in the residential area observed to have shifted and changed to an SME commercial area. The results, therefore, showed a dynamic pattern of commercial activity leading to a "spatial democracy" pattern.

Tourism routes connect the city to the rural areas by linking a variety of activities and attractions. Tourism activities stimulate entrepreneurial opportunities through the development of ancillary products and services. The planning of resources and attractions along the route can be integrated to support the development of a region, conservation and rejuvenation of cultural and natural resources. An attractive route can attract special interest tourists whose travel motivation is to experience the rural environment. This paper examined the landscape characters found along the rural route of Kuala Selangor to Sabak Bernam in Selangor, Malaysia. Based on 250 survey questionnaires among locals and tourists, this study evaluated the importance of nine criteria of the rural tourism route. The findings suggested that the intangible criteria are pertinent to support the tangible criteria. This paper concludes by recommending ways to improve the landscape characters of the route to enrich the tourist experience.

In Malaysia, the introduction of the Islamic calligraphy, especially after the spread of Islam in the 14th century has impacted on the further development of decorative art in the built environment. While Islamic calligraphy has witnessed significant developments in the past decades, it still lacks a profiling classification system of calligraphy scripts that give impact to the contemporary mosque. The objectives of the study are to analyse the visual qualities of the calligraphy scripts in the mosque components and its compositional categories and to determine the relationship between the calligraphy placement and the mosque architecture within the interior and exterior fabrics of the buildings. This research involved an analytical review of the Islamic calligraphy found in the 10 selected mosques in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and their depiction in various components. Face-to-face interviews with the mosque authorities and local calligraphers on the types and styles of scripts used in the mosque components were conducted as a complementary measure to the analytical method. The analysis reveals the application of cursive and angular style of scripts, fabricated in specified shapes, sizes and dimensions of the mosque components. Selection and depiction of calligraphy, especially in Thuluth and Kufi scripts suggest their strong preference to the traditional major styles ranging from its composition to the determination of its positional layout regardless of differences in the mosque architecture style.

The evolution of bicycles is tremendous. Humans recognized its function, importance, and value this non-motorized vehicle as an important part of their daily life. In Malaysia, most urban roads are designed for the motor vehicle therefore cycling is not a greater option for commuting to workplaces. This study aims at assessing the compatibility level of cycle lanes. Section 14, Shah Alam, Malaysia was selected as the case study, and a questionnaire survey utilizing the Simple Random Sampling technique was conducted involving 133 samples. The Bicycle Compatibility Index (BCI) was applied to calculate the capability of bicycle lanes. Results demonstrated the weaknesses of bike path infrastructure and its compliance to guidelines. The compatibility level of cycle lanes is still low, therefore, suggesting an enhanced approach to the planning and development of cycle lanes. The outcome of this study can be a guide to the local authority yet applicable to other urban areas.

Kuala Lumpur City’s demand for a better connectivity has led to the vast development of elevated highways. This has caused the formation of residual spaces underneath megastructures. Previous studies indicated that these residual spaces triggered issues from dumping of debris to crimes. Aimed at exploring the typologies and reappropriation of these spaces through green infrastructure planning, three methods were utilised in this study: site observation, document analysis and expert interview. Results from the study showed that there were two main typologies of residual spaces, namely: (1) easily accessible and (2) hard to access spaces. The interview sessions with the experts suggested that suitable green infrastructure elements, such as play lots, recreational lots and community gardens were regarded as suitable for Typology 1. However, semi-natural areas and functional landscapes were viewed as suitable for Typology 2. It is hoped that the understanding of the typologies of residual spaces underneath elevated highways and its appropriation through green infrastructure planning could lead to a more sustainable use and management of urban space thus viewing it as an important urban resource.

Managing crowd is essential in a time of emergency because a large volume of movements or flow may be restricted or obstructed by the existing capacity. This paper centres around preparedness, actions were taken during the event and mitigation measures of flooding in two case studies. Hulu Langat and Cameron Highlands have similarities and differences in planning for, managing of and reviving from flood disasters. In particular, route planning is focused to extract the movement behaviour among people impacted by the calamity. This study employed an interview method which results have been synthesised to feed into the formulation of future strategies for access or movement facilities for victims of disasters.

This study was conducted to obtain comprehensive information on the process of Tree Preservation Order or TPO (Act 172) adoption by the states in the context of National Development Planning Framework (NDPF) that includes the formulation and adoption of TPO Rules. The study was part of the authors’ research in finding answers to the lack of TPO (Act 172) implementation in the country. The data were acquired through consultation with PLANMalaysia and state JPBDs, and by reviewing the agencies’ documents. The results, presented in the form of process flowcharts, would be useful for the current and future research in making evaluation concerning the adequacy of planning and actions taken during the adoption process that would ensure TPO (Act 172) implementation. This study preliminarily concludes that the planning and actions taken were adequate, i.e., done in an orderly manner and followed the procedures common to the NDPF. However, the next step in ensuring that the TPO (Act 172) adoption is effective, TPO (Act 172) implementation must be put as high priority in the work plans of each related agency.

This study aims to determine the monthly hot spots of property crime in Kuching, Sarawak from January-December, 2015-2017. Hot Spot Analysis (Getis Ord Gi*) was chosen for this study because it can detect the areas that have spatial clustering with similar values around its neighboring boundaries. It can present an output for hot spots and cold spots with different levels of statistical significance. Gita Police Station sector boundaries were identified as a high-value cluster for eight months in 2015 and also have a high-value cluster for seven months in 2016. However, in 2017 Padungan Police Station sector boundary was identified as a high-value cluster for four months. The hot spots of property crime in Kuching, Sarawak change over time and places. This study found that holidays and festivals are exogenous factors that can influence the increases of property crime rate in Kuching, Sarawak. The findings of this study can help police to predict temporal crime trends accurately which would be beneficial for management planning.
本研究旨在确定2015-2017年1月至12月沙捞越古晋财产犯罪的月度热点。本研究选择热点分析(Hot Spot Analysis, Getis Ord Gi*)，因为它可以在其相邻边界附近检测出具有相似值的空间聚类区域。它可以给出具有不同统计显著性水平的热点和冷点的输出。Gita警察局部门边界在2015年被确定为8个月的高价值集群，在2016年也有7个月的高价值集群。然而，2017年，巴东干派出所部门边界被确定为高价值集群，为期四个月。在古晋，沙捞越财产犯罪的热点随着时间和地点的变化而变化。本研究发现，节假日是影响古晋沙捞越财产犯罪率上升的外生因素。本研究结果可以帮助警察准确预测犯罪趋势，这将有利于管理规划。
