This paper provides an overview of a development model for virtual reality (VR) tourism using Geographic Information System (GIS) data and spatial distribution analysis of potential tourism products. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Qualitative methods, such as interviews and focus groups, gather insights from stakeholders, including tourists, local communities, and tourism industry professionals, regarding their perceptions, expectations, and preferences. Quantitative methods, such as surveys and data analysis, provide a comprehensive understanding of visitor demographics, preferences, and the economic impact of VR tourism. The findings of the study focus on identifying and analysing the components of tourism products and data information specifically within the rural area of the Perak Tengah District. Information about tourism products is collected and encoded into a GIS database. The introduction of a new classification system justifies the development model and outlines a detailed process for each stage of the framework's methodologies. The originality and value of this research used a mixed-methods approach to gather qualitative and quantitative data, illustrating the overview of VR tourism development using the GIS tool approach specifically for tourism products in rural areas.

This article discusses the challenges in implementing the community-based tourism and homestay post covid-19 movement control order (MCO) at Kundasang, Sabah. The spread of the Covid-19 virus has had a significant impact on the community and, at the same time, on tourism activities. The implementation of the MCO, announced by the Prime Minister of Malaysia on March 18, 2020, has led all sectors, including the tourism sector, to stop operating temporarily to curb the virus from continuing to be prevalent among the community. On June 10, 2020, the government implemented the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), allowing all sectors to operate again. However, there is a question of what challenges the tourists face in implementing the post-covid-19 recovery strategy and plan in Kundasang. The primary approach to this study is qualitative, based on primary and secondary data sources. The preliminary data is used through in-depth interviews while in the field. Secondary data is from journal articles, academic reference books and newspaper news widely used in this writing. The results of this study found that there were challenges facing the community, especially homestay operators, where the challenges they faced were different in implementing the post-covid-19 tourism recovery strategy in Kundasang, Sabah.

Public transportation is an important way of moving people or goods from one point to another point of destination. Light Rail Transit (LRT), Monorail, taxis and buses are currently a good choice for people, especially those who work at the city centre. Lately, the light rail transit was seen to be preferable by all, especially in the area with heavy traffic congestions. The increased number of vehicles heading to the city centre day by day causes the delay in traffic movement on the road. This can easily be seen especially in the morning when people are mobile to work and at the evening time after the working hour. Choosing the public transportation as LRT has helped much in reducing the congestions in many roads to the city centre. Apart from the intention to ensure the minimum road congestion, the other concern is the safety parameter. The safety level among the passengers must also become a priority matter especially for female users. Nowadays, the female users were seen to become more aggressive using the LRT to work, shopping, travelling short distances or for weekend sight-seeing. This is a good sign in the transportation sector as people had noticed that using the LRT would help to reduce mileage, cost, reduce stress, and promote a healthy lifestyle. This research will investigate the safety level among female users in using the LRT in selected destinations and to identify the unsafe location along the walking trails from or to LRT station.

Technology disruption makes it difficult for rural areas to cope with digital infrastructure and people's readiness to embrace changes. Indeed, technological advancements provide greater opportunities to transform rural areas into instinctive living environments - destinations to invest, work, live, and visit. However, a significant question arises: how far has this innovative technology been practised in rural activities? The current paper aims to demonstrate the application of a Malaysia Assessment Measure for Modern Rural Development (MAMRD); it incorporates the rural technology practices for appraising the score (index) towards a modern rural approach, thereby enabling lessons to be learned for further improvements. From this measurement, it was found that the aqua-tourism and smart community-based village (Kampung Padang Rumbia, Pekan, Pahang) scored 55.92% in the overall index, which could put it into a three-star rating village. The fishing-based village (Kampung Tepi Sungai, Sungai Muda, Kedah) gained two-star with 30.51%. The results become the self-checked intervention for them to move towards a modern rural approach. In the end, MAMRD shall assist all stakeholders who rely on rural and community transformation, such as Institute for Rural Enhancement (INFRA) and Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Keselamatan Kampung (JPKK). Undeniably, this paper also reveals the agendas of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) towards societal harmony and happiness.
技术破坏使得农村地区难以应对数字基础设施和人们接受变化的意愿。事实上，技术进步提供了更多的机会，将农村地区转变为本能的生活环境——投资、工作、生活和参观的目的地。然而，一个重要的问题出现了:这种创新技术在农村活动中的应用程度如何?本文旨在展示马来西亚现代农村发展评估措施(MAMRD)的应用;它将评价分数(指数)的农村技术做法纳入现代农村方法，从而能够吸取教训，以便进一步改进。通过测量发现，水上旅游和智慧社区村(甘榜，巴东，仑比亚，佩坎，彭亨)的综合指数得分为55.92%，可以进入三星评级村。以渔业为基础的村庄(Kampung Tepi Sungai, Sungai Muda, kedaah)获得了30.51%的二星级。其结果成为他们走向现代乡村道路的自检干预。最后，MAMRD应协助所有依赖农村和社区转型的利益相关者，如农村促进研究所(INFRA)和Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Keselamatan Kampung (JPKK)。不可否认，本文也揭示了可持续发展目标(SDGs)的议程，以实现社会和谐与幸福。

The problem of traffic congestion in urban areas is worse at road intersections. Junction design, traffic light capacity, and driver behaviour are prevalent influences on traffic congestion. Since the traffic signal is one of the traffic controls to alleviate road congestion, adequate traffic capacity with a good design and an optimum delay is the key to improving the signalised junction. Hence, this research aims to determine the performance of signalized junctions with different traffic methods compared to on-site data. Two methods were selected for the analysis: Signalised Intersection Design and Research Aid (SIDRA) and the Malaysia Highway Capacity Manual (MHCM). Prominent signalised intersections along Jalan Kempas in the Kempas neighbourhood of Johor Bahru were selected for this study to measure the length of the vehicle line-up during rush hour. Based on these two (2) methods used, the significant different are related to traffic parameters, namely capacity analysis and level of service and by different conditions of traffic, geometric and type of traffic signal. It was determined that the parameter used for both SIDRA and MHCM is suitable; however, the output of SIDRA resulted in a more similar performance to the site observation. Based on the findings, this research is able to measure the efficiency of traffic assessment tools compared to the actual situation on site and assist the traffic engineer in efficiently investigating and evaluating the performance at signalised junctions.

Cultural heritage tourism, a form of tourism in Malaysia that is vital for identity and place attachment, has a positive influence on the country's economy and society and helps individuals build a strong sense of place. Petaling Street is a well-known traditional street in Malaysia. However, in light of the tremendous increase in tourism and urbanisation, it now faces the threat of losing its Chinese cultural heritage due to commercialisation and touristification, which also affects the tourism experiences (TEs) of its tourists. Although placemaking is a relatively new concept in Malaysia, it is becoming an increasingly important component of the community as it is able to create a bond between a place and people. As such, the government is pushing for the concept to be included in urban regeneration. The findings indicated that placemaking attributes (PAs) may actually influence TEs at cultural heritage sites. This present study also identified three new factors. As the results indicate that PAs closely relate to TEs, it can be concluded that Petaling Street's TEs would be enhanced if it were to provide the appropriate services and facilities; which are considered PAs.

This study provides an overview of the sensor technologies commonly used for automated vehicle classification and counting, with a focus on non-intrusive sensors. Video cameras are found to be the most feasible solution for data collection in traffic census as it can operate in portable mode and used at any location. Several factors must be considered to ensure accurate counting. These involve optimum placement of the camera to ensure that all vehicles can be observed, and the lighting conditions must be considered to ensure good video quality. These further contributes to accurate classification and counting of vehicles by dedicated deep learning algorithm. As the data collection may involve location with poor access to cloud computing and storage, offline processing is therefore recommended. The study also revealed opportunities for solving issues related to strategic placement of video cameras, and development of dedicated deep learning algorithms.

The increasing number of food delivery riders, known as P-hailing riders, has increased the number of traffic crashes involving this group. The high demand for online orders and delivery time constraints causes the delivery riders to engage in risky riding behaviours during delivery. Thus, there is a need to study this alarming problem before it becomes more serious. This study aims to determine factors influencing risky behaviours among delivery riders at signalized intersections. A roadside observation was conducted in the month of October 2022 at Subang Jaya, Selangor. A total of 19,803 delivery riders were observed for four days observations at two signalized T- and two cross-signalized intersections. A bivariate analysis (logistic regression) was applied to determine the relationship between seven risky behaviours (unfastened helmet, not wearing shoes, incomplete set of side mirrors, red light running, mobile phone use, stopping after stop lines, and abrupt lane change) with five explanatory variables including the day of the week, time of the day, weather condition, type of intersection and approach road. The result shows that red light running, and mobile phone use is more likely to occur during the weekend. Clear weather increases risky behaviours such as red light running, using a mobile phone, and abrupt lane changes. The findings of this study are useful as input to the related authorities in developing programs to decrease the number of crashes involving food delivery riders.

School road safety concerns include the drop-off location for children at the school entrance, traffic congestion around the school, and road safety amenities. Most research is done by analyzing data with descriptive statistics, but these don't give a clear order of the factors that lead to these incidents. So, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used to help figure out which ways of intervening are the most effective at cutting down on accidents. The following objectives have been outlined: (i) to identify the most critical factors that contribute to road safety measures in the school area, such as high traffic volume, speeding, or a lack of pedestrian infrastructure, and (ii) to prioritize potential interventions for improving road safety. The study's methods include four main steps: making an instrument, collecting data, analyzing the data with AHP, and coming up with a list of actions to take based on priority. Results show that the most significant outcome was 33% peak hour management, and 33% of the needs of parent car management are equally critical. The other concerns are on the children's path. The outcome presented herein gives an insight into how to prioritize roads for safety mitigation, which is expected to be useful to various decision-makers.
