Over the past years, the Journal has been dedicated to providing planners, decision makers, researchers, and students’ access to the fastgrowing information on the field of planning. To that end, the PLANNING MALAYSIA has to date successfully publish three journals and this fourth journal is a reflection of the dedication of the editors and contributors towards the development of knowledge in planning and development.In meeting the challenges in today’s built environment, the Journal has managed to produced articles that touches upon the future planning needs as it highlights issues closely related to sustainability and illustrates efforts and methods towards best planning practices in today’s context. The need for good decision support system in today’s planning is also important and it is hoped that the articles here provide inputs and provoke thoughts towards better planning for our country.Finally, the editors are to be commended for this fourth journal publication and our appreciation is extended to the team of writers and contributors from various institutions of higher learning whose papers are of varied planning interest. The Journal plans to extend its distribution; not only to all planning schools, Federal, State and Local Planning Authorities but also to various organizations MIP is affiliated to and other professional bodies locally as well as globally.

The Greens' impact on German politics and public life has been enormous and massively disproportional to the size of their electoral support and political presence in the country's legislative and executive bodies on the federal, state, and local levels. After substantiating the Greens' proliferating presence on all levels of German politics with numbers; the article focuses on demonstrating how the Greens' key values of ecology, peace and pacifism, feminism and women's rights, and grass roots democracy—the signifiers of their very identity—have come to shape the existence of all other German parties bar none. If imitation is one of the most defining characteristics of success, the Greens can be immensely proud of their tally over the past thirty plus years.

Source Materials

This article describes changes in student–teacher relations in the context of academic institutions and variation in methods of teaching. On the basis of empirical research (interviews conducted currently among employees of Polish institutions of higher learning and analysis of source materials concerning the past) the authors advance the thesis that the figure of the mentor—which was once associated with scholarship and academic institutions—has ceased to have meaning for contemporary scholars. Instead of mentors, persons who are called “quasi-mentors” have appeared; they act temporarily as guides for young scholars and most often perform only one of the functions formerly fulfilled by mentors (for instance, organizers of academic life, seekers for research funds, promoters of doctoral theses, etc.). The authors consider that these alterations have been caused by general processes of economic, technological, political, and axiological change.

The University

There are presently 6.7 million students in some 2200 American institutions of higher learning. Their numbers have doubled in the past ten years and will double again in the next ten.This statistic alone indicates that the university is no longer a shady retreat where scholars and students leisurely engage in the search for truth. The university has become a major power in our societal life. It shares with society in general a frenzied dynamism, the pursuit of immediate objectives, a labyrinthian structure and the lust for prestige. One couldn't imagine a university without, for example, a well-staffed public relations office. The American university today is in almost all senses of the word a new university.

Knowledge Seeking

MIP is once again proudly to riposte its eleventh volume of Planning Malaysia. Since its inception in 2003, the Journal was well-received by the members as well as the academic fraternity. This is due to perhaps, the awareness for knowledge seeking and improvement among the members as the articles touch on wide spectrum of our daily planning issues. It isindeed a great achievement to the Institute as we strive to encourage more members and academics to write and share new ideas on planning and urban development.Urban and Regional Planning is very broad based subject that covers technical and political process concerned with the control of the use of land and design of the urban environment, including transportation networks, to guide and ensure the orderly development of settlement and communities. The wide ranging topics in this issue reflect the various dimensions of sustainable cities and urban planning that is holistic and comprehensive. One of the key objectives of this issue is to provide a platform for town planners to share new ideas and experiences on cities and urban planning. Such new ideas are by research, studies undertaken or actual hands-on experiences of planners. Thus I hope this issue provides a better insight to all readers of the broad dimensions that urban or town planning has and the role of town planners play in growth and development of the nation. Apart from the MIP’s contribution to the planning circle, Planning Malaysia is also extended to various planning related organizations, institutions of higher learning as well as to all members of the institute. We anticipate to eventually extending the circulation of this journal to non-planning related organizations and institutions that has an indirect role in planning within and outside the country. We hope this issue will serve the purpose and welcome any feedback for the improvement in the forthcoming issue. As a new preside President, I would like to acknowledge and congratulate the new journal’s Editor-in-Chief, Professor Dato’ Dr. Mansor Ibrahim and his team for the dedication and continuous support to the Institute.Thank you and happy reading.

The Impact

With the growing threat of a naturally occurring or man-made global pandemic, many public, private, federal, state, and local institutions have begun to develop some form of preparedness and response plans. Among those in the front lines of preparedness are hospitals and medical professionals who will be among the first responders in the event of such a disaster. At the other end of the spectrum of preparedness is the Corrections community who have been working in a relative vacuum, in part because of lack of funding, but also because they have been largely left out of state, federal local planning processes. This isolation and lack of support is compounded by negative public perceptions of correctional facilities and their inmates, and a failure to understand the serious impact a jail or prison facility would have on public health in the event of a disaster. This article examines the unique issues faced by correctional facilities responding to disease disasters and emphasizes the importance of assisting them to develop workable and effective preparedness and response plans that will prevent them from becoming disease repositories spreading illness and infection throughout our communities. To succeed in such planning, it is crucial that the public health and medical community be involved in correctional disaster planning and that they should integrate correctional disaster response with their own. Failure to do so endangers the health of the entire nation.

Background: In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), digital taxation emerged as a tool for accelerating the economic growth of a nation. While Industry 4.0 focuses on enabling real-time decision-making with sophisticated technology to enhance productivity, digital taxation can serve as an important tool for improving business sustainability. Institutions of higher learning (IHL), which aim to design an IR 4.0 educational ecosystem, can embrace digital taxation, as they face various challenges with different resources. The literature indicates that frugal innovation through digital taxation in institutions of higher learning, can solve emerging resource challenges. Method: We present a systematic review of studies on digital taxation to promote frugal innovation published in the past three decades (1991 to 2021). We obtained a total of 21 papers from a ‘digital taxation’ keyword search, 10 of which were related to digital taxation. However, the 10 papers were not related to frugal innovation. Result: We present two major findings. Firstly, research on digital taxation for frugal innovation is scant. Secondly, challenges exist in digital taxation implementation, which requires further attention. Conclusion: We conclude this review with a recommendation for the conceptual framework, to highlight potential research warranting the attention of the research community.

Given Nigeria’s high unemployment and poverty figures and the expected roles from SMEs, the Nigerian government had in the past devised policies and incentives for the development of small and medium scale Enterprises. In spite of all these efforts by the government, both at federal, state, and local government levels, to ensure the growth of SMEs in Nigeria, some key factors have been claimed to be responsible for their perceived failure in Nigeria. However, this paper focuses on new SMEs that have emerged in the form of professional sports and betting centers which are creating jobs and generated income in Nigeria and Africa in general. The sport and betting center businesses like any SME require serious attention so that their developmental role and sustainability will provide the much needed sustainable development of Nigeria with regard to job and wealth creation. This paper examines the challenges and way forward for sport viewing and betting centre businesses in Nigeria.
