Sustainability Principles

This article provides a review of the indicators for safe urban tourism after evaluates the urban tourism concept which related to the tourism industry and the implementation of the safe city model towards the Malaysia urban area. This research uses the basic idea of a safe city model for proposing a conceptual framework in safe urban tourism. Content analysis is used to identify the principles indicators of safe urban tourism from the established literature, relevant reports and works. A theoretical framework of indicators for safe urban tourism was then formulated to be the main outcome of the study. The framework consists of a list of three groups (3) indicators of safe urban tourism which is (i) safe city factors, (ii) safe urban tourism factors and (iii) crime prevention strategies and step to be considered throughout the safe urban tourism development process. Given that research in safe urban tourism is still at its infancy and largely absent in the Malaysian context, this study aims to fill that research gap and contributes towards an existing scholarship. The theoretical framework is very useful to provide an essential guide to the stakeholders (Ministry of Tourism (MoT), Town and Country Planning Department and Kuala Lumpur City Hall) and researchers for formulating a clear guide of sustainability principles to be integrated into the development of future safe urban tourism in Malaysia.

Model Approach

The development of sustainable buildings continues to gain momentum in Malaysia due to its many benefits. The Kuala Lumpur City Hall stipulated that the construction of every commercial building must meet the requirements of green features with at least ‘GBI Gold’ level or equivalent. With the growing interest in green development, questions were raised on whether there is enhancement to the market value of green-rated properties and vice-versa. As most of the commercial office buildings are used for functions and office spaces by most organisations, they are considered a service oriented entity and can significantly benefit from having sustainability attributes. Hence, green properties are considered to be more marketable and attractive for investment purpose. However, at present, the differences in rental rates in Malaysia between green and non-green commercial office buildings are rather small. The difference is more to supply and demand factors within the specific location rather than green features factor. Therefore, this paper hopes to highlight the possible impact of economics, the environment and social attributes on the value of commercial office building incorporating with the Russian-Doll model. The highlighted sustainable attributes will provide guidance and justification in valuing real estate incorporating sustainability.

The challenge in identifying the limit of the boundary of development growth in Kuala Lumpur is difficult. From the development control which creates the growth of Kuala Lumpur defines that, the allocation of development control for City Centre Commercial (CCC) development within the District Centre Commercial (DCC) development has resulted in different priorities and growth, unbalanced land use distribution within Kuala Lumpur, as well as creating the difference in the given plot ratio by the authority for each centre according to its importance that resulted in the growth that focuses on the CCC area hence resulted in the difference in law enforcement in determining the distribution of floor space. The objective is to identify the urban growth pattern and to examine the influence of built up area to the development. Using the qualitative and quantitative method such as allocation of intensity development in defining the growth of an urban centre in Kuala Lumpur, the analysis is made to study the intensity, and the built-up area correlates to the floor space optimisation, total plot ratio, gross development value and the density requirement. The study is also to analyse the implementation of intensity development, zoning of land use, high-density development, and the correlative relation of development control with the growth centre. It also aims to establish land use management and physical development in Kuala Lumpur City Centre for sustainable urban growth and proper management of development control. The outcome of the study is shows hierarchy of the chosen 11 growth centres in Kuala Lumpur.

A collaborative partnership between local authorities and corporate agencies in maintaining and managing urban public parks through the Adopt-A-Park Programme has become a standard approach throughout the United States and Europe. In the Malaysian context, this programme came into the limelight of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) practices via the Greener Kuala Lumpur initiatives. Between 2012 and 2018, fifteen corporate agencies have shown their proactive involvement through corporate social responsibility (CSR) to beautify and maintain the urban green spaces in Kuala Lumpur via the park adoption programme which helped Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur / KL City Hall (DBKL) to manage its public parks effectively despite the limited budget. This paper aims to examine the benefits and returns of the Adopt-A-Park Programme at the Laman @ Eco Sky and the Metropolis Park to DBKL, park users and park adopters. Park users' satisfaction and allocations spent by the corporate adopters are analysed descriptively. Results show that while DBKL saved about RM24 million of the maintenance cost, 94% of the adopted park users are satisfied with the quality of the park. This programme should include more parks, especially in low-income communities.Keywords: Adopt-A-Park Programme, Adoption, Urban Park, Benefits and ReturnseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019. The Authors.

A city that is free from all forms of crime and criminal threats will able to create a community that has quality human capital. Both crimes and the fear of crime have a significant impact on the quality of life. A safe city is a key to the success of community development, urban development and nation building. Rising of crime index for past six years in Kuala Lumpur is questionable whether CPTED has been successfully carried out by the KLCH in creating a safe urban environment for people to live in. Urban development Plans should make safety primary criteria in making the city successful and livable. This research aims to investigate the awareness level of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH) implementer in implementing the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) which was introduced in 2004 by the Malaysian Government. A mixed method research approach was adopted employing a questionnaire survey and in depth interview with a sample of officers and technician of KLCH whose scope of work includes the implementation of CPTED. The findings suggest that the existing level of awareness is still low with the lack of awareness on CPTED due to the limited knowledge and poor understanding of CPTED concept and implementation. However, it was also found that the implementers of KLCH are beginning to develop an awareness of the importance of safety urban environment and are beginning to consider the capability of the built environment in reducing both, the fear of crime and the actual crime from happening. Successful CPTED implementation will be a meaningful contribution towards the creation of a safe city that is livable for the urban community in Kuala Lumpur therefore helping to improve their quality of life.

In today's world, natural disasters are becoming frequent occurrence as a result of human's excess and waste in using resources, especially land. Its effects can be seen in disasters such as flood in urban areas where population and built-up area is dense. Many studies have been conducted in flood prediction and river management but very few concentrate on evaluation of flood occurrence factors at rivers in urban areas. This study evaluates the significance of factors that cause urban flash floods in Kuala Lumpur by using Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) method with special reference to DEFINITE software. This study carries out a systematic approach encompassing a selection of criteria that determines the root cause of flood through consultation with major stakeholders like Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), Department of Environment (DOE), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD). Less than obvious results are due to the complexity and reality ofthe problem based on the interview of stakeholders with different views on the local environment. The MCA results reveal that stream and land (land use) are the main causes of flooding in urban areas that can be solved with a proper physical planning.
