Development Control

Global warming, climate change is now affecting the world. The effort of the leaders to achieving the sustainable development is from New Urban Agenda (NUA), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) and local level is local authorities.  SDG’s goal number 13 takes urgent action to combat climate change and its impact also SDG’s number 11 to sustainable cities and communities. The gap of this paper  Different cities face different challenges and issues. Local authorities will play a significant role in undertaking policy initiatives to combat carbon emissions of the city. Low Carbon Cities (LCC) is to reduce carbon emissions in all human activities in cities.  The objective of this paper is by applying the LCCF Checklist in planning permission for sustainable development. The methodology of this research is a mixed-method, namely quantitative and qualitative approach. The survey methods are by interview, questionnaire, and observation. Town planners are the subject matter expert in managing the planning permission submission for the development control of their areas. Descriptive statistical analysis will be used to show the willingness of the stakeholders, namely the developers and planning consultants in implementing of the LCCF. The contribution of this research will gauge readiness at the local authorities level. The findings of the LCCF checklist are identified as important in planning permission into the development control process. Surprisingly, that challenges and issues exist in multifaceted policy implementation the LCCF Checklist in a local authority. Finally based on Subang Jaya Municipal Councils, the existing approach in the application of the LCCF Checklist in the development control process will be useful for development control in a local authority towards sustainable development.

One of the most important functions of a local authority in Malaysia is development control under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1976 (Act 172) and the Street, Drainage and Building Act, 1974 (Act 133). With the powers under these acts, the local authority is responsible to ensure that any activity of development is carried out in an orderly manner so as not to cause immediate as well as long-term undesirable impacts on the neighbours, the surroundings and the environment. To do this the law requires that any person intending to carry out any development will need a planning permission and a building plan approval from the local authority. In giving such an approval the local authority has to check and ensure that the developer can and will carry out the development properly and according to a good set of by-laws, standards, regulations and guidelines drawn up to protect the safety, health and amenity of the people in the local authority area. However most local authorities, due to numerous valid reasons, have problems carrying out this task and are often accused of causing delays to the development process and hence to the economic progress of the country. Often, justly or unjustly, local authority officers and decision-makers have been branded as not transparent and corrupt for taking such a confusing and lengthy process in considering applications for development approval. Local authorities have hence an almost impossible task of protecting the environment and ensuring sustainable development and at the same time promoting further development and timely economic growth. In an attempt to overcome this problem the Municipal Council of Penang Island (MCPJ), with grants from the Development Application Grant Scheme (DAGS) of the National IT Council (NITC) of Malaysia, embarked on a project to develop an Electronic Local Authority Management System, or "eLAMS". This will assist in the day-to-day functions of processing and considering of applications for planning permission, building plans and earthworks plans, in accordance with a good quality management and environmental managen1ent system. This paper examines the problems of the development control process for sustainable development and the problems of adopting and adapting the electronic system faced by local authorities in Malaysia in general and the Municipal Council of Penang Island in particular. This paper will also outline the proposals to overcome these problems with eLAMS.

Low carbon cities are the effort of the leaders in achieving sustainable development. The gap is despite the LCCF Checklist is readied but not all implement in planning permission at the local authority. The objective is to study a challenge for policymakers in the approach of the LCCF Checklist in development control. The methodology is a mixed-method, namely quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings of the LCCF checklist are identifying as important in planning permission into the development control process. Surprisingly, the challenges exist in the implementation of the LCCF Checklist in the development control process. Keywords: Low Carbon Cities Framework (LCCF) Checklist, Local Authority, Planning Permission, Sustainable Development GoalseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

Red Line

Reservoir warning is an important part of the red line of water resources development control. Based on the red line of total water in three red lines, this paper put forward firstly the quantitative method for determining water supply line and warning area of irrigation reservoirs, and presented the definition and method of irrigation reservoir warning. Taking the Douyazi reservoir in Jiaonan for example, early warning results based on warning period, which was divided into three months and non-flood season, were given. It provided technical support for implementation of the most strict resources management and sustainable development of the economic society.

Key Concepts

Sustainable development of a process depends on a harmonious association of three sustainable pillars: Economy, Society, and Environment. Yet, in case of DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) process, the combination is challenged by inefficient management of knowledge resource in the process. The potential economy resource is not preserved and renewed, and therefore influents on sustainability of the process. In this article, the authors present and discuss sustainable aspects of a knowledge management model for DMAIC in which knowledge resource is accumulated and reused efficiently. In particular, the key concepts of sustainable development are reviewed, a process of knowledge management based on Ontology Engineering is presented, and sustainable criterial and measures for the proposed model are applied. The authors find that preserving and renewing knowledge is an indispensable process of sustainable development of DMAIC process.
