Golongan berpendapatan rendah lebih mudah terancam dengan gelombang pandemik COVID-19 berbanding golongan berpendapatan tinggi. Salah satu situasi yang menggambarkan hal ini adalah semasa tempoh pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dijalankan. Dalam tempoh tersebut, berlakunya ketidakstabilan ekonomi golongan berpendapatan rendah (B40). Hal ini demikian kerana, selain menyumbang kepada masalah pengangguran, pelaksanaan PKP juga menyebabkan berlakunya pengurangan terhadap jumlah pendapatan bulanan. Keadaan ini menggambarkan bahawa pelaksanaan PKP mendatangkan impak yang negatif kepada golongan berpendapatan rendah khususnya dari sudut ekonomi. Walau bagaimanapun, impak PKP tidak harus dipandang dari sudut ekonomi semata-mata, sebaliknya haruslah dilihat dalam aspek yang lebih luas. Rentetan daripada itu, kajian ini ingin mengenal pasti impak pelaksanaan PKP dari aspek kesihatan dan sosial golongan B40 di Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Selain itu, kajian ini juga ingin mengenal pasti hubungan angkubah jenis sektor pekerjaan golongan B40 dengan persetujuan terhadap pelaksanaan PKP. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah survei dalam proses pengutipan data di lapangan. Teknik Analisis Komponen Utama, Ujian Khi Kuasa Dua dan Analisis Tabulasi Silang pula digunakan untuk menganalisis data mentah yang telah diperoleh. Analisis kajian ini mendapati terdapat tiga impak utama pelaksanaan PKP daripadaaspek kesihatan dan hubungan sosial, iaitu peningkatan keselamatan dan jalinan kekeluargaan, keharmonian masyarakat dan ketenangan jiwa serta peningkatan kesihatan. People who are in the low-income group are more vulnerable to the pandemic wave of COVID-19 compare to those who are in the high-income group. One of the situations that illustrates this is during the period of Movement Control Order (PKP) implementation is carried out. During that period of time, the B40 group experienced economic instability. Thisis because, apart from facing unemployment problem, the implementation of PKP also causes a reduction in the total monthly income among the B40 group. This situation illustrates that the implementation of PKP has a negative impact on the low-income group, especially from an economic point of view. However, the impact of PKP should not only be viewed from an economic point of view alone but instead should be seen in a broader aspect. Following that, this study would like to identify the impact of PKP implementation from the health and social aspects of the B40 group in KotaKinabalu, Sabah. In addition to that, this study also aims to identify the relationship of variables between the type of employment sector among the B40 group and the agreement on the implementation of PKP. This study uses survey methods on the field during the process of data collection. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Techniques, Chi Square Test and Cross Tabulation Analysis are used to analyze the raw data that has been obtained. The analysis of this study found that there are three main impacts of the implementation of PKP in terms of health and social relations, namely,the increased of security and family ties, communal harmony and peace of mind as well as improved health.
Abstrak Isu pengurusan sisa pepejal yang tidak efisien merupakan antara kekangan yang dihadapi di negara-negara membangun, Malaysia tidak terkecuali. Lebih kurang 37, 890 tan sisa dihasilkan setiap hari di Malaysia di mana setiap individu menghasilkan sekurang-kurangnya 1.17kilogram sisa. Jumlah tersebut akan terus meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan populasi penduduk terutamanya di kawasan bandar. Antara langkah alternatif yang diambil bagi menghadapi masalah tersebut adalah menggalakkan penglibatan syarikat swasta dalam pengurusan sisa pepejal. Objektif pertama kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti tanggungjawab dan peranan pihak swasta dan awam dalam pengurusan sisa pepejal di Taman Kopodim serta Taman Dahlia, Kuching. Objektif kedua kajian ini adalah untuk menilai persepsi penduduk di taman perumahan mengenai kualiti perkhidmatan penglibatan syarikat swasta dalam pengurusan sisa pepejal. Kaedah kajian yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah kaedah tinjauan serta temu bual. Bilangan sampel dalam kajian ini adalah seramai 100 orang responden. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa pengurusan sisa pepejal di Bandaraya Kuching, Sarawak khususnya di kawasan kajian (Taman Kopodim dan Taman Dahlia) adalah di bawah tanggungjawab Syarikat Trieneken yang dilantik oleh Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan di bawah perjanjian konsensi. Selain itu, persepsi penduduk terhadap kualiti pengurusan sisa pepejal yang disediakan oleh Syarikat Trieneken adalah pada tahap sederhana dan memuaskan. Kajian mengenai penglibatan syarikat swasta dalam pengurusan sisa pepejal masih kurang dilakukan terutamanya di Malaysia. Oleh itu, hasil dapatan kertas kerja ini mampu memberi pandangan luas terhadap penglibatan syarikat swasta dalam pengurusan sisa pepejal terutamanya di negara-negara membangun seperti Malaysia. Abstract Inefficient solid waste management is one of the main issues faced by most developing countries, including Malaysia. About 37, 890 tonnes of waste are produced daily in Malaysia, where each individual produces at least 1.17 kilogram of waste per day. Those number will continue to increase as the population grows, especially in urban areas. Therefore, one of the alternative measures taken to address this problem is encouraging private sector participation in solid waste management. The first objective of this study was to identify the role of the private and public sector in solid waste management in Taman Kopodim and Taman Dahlia. The second objective was to evaluate the residents’ perception regarding the quality of the waste management service provided by the private company. The research method used in this study is the survey method and interview. The sample size used in this study was 100 respondents. Findings show that solid waste management in Kuching, Sarawak specifically in the study area (Taman Kopodim and Taman Dahlia) is manage by Trieneken Sdn. Bhd, which was appointed by the Local Authorities under the concession agreement. In addition to that, the residents' perception of the quality of solid waste management provided by Trieneken Sdn. Bhd. is at a moderate and satisfactory level. Studies on private companies' involvement in solid waste management are still lacking, especially in Malaysia. Therefore, the findings of this paper provide a great insight regarding involvement of private company’s involvement/participation in solid waste management especially in developing countries such as Malaysia.
