The determination and identification of slope instability are often rely on data obtained from in-situ soil investigation work where it involves the logistic of machineries and manpower, thus these aspects may increase the cost especially for remote locations. Therefore a method, which is able to identify possible slope instability without frequent ground walkabout survey, is needed. This paper presents the method used in prediction of slope instability using spatial integrated mapping framework which applicable for remote areas such as tropical forest and natural hilly terrain. Spatial data such as geology, topography, land use map, slope angle and elevation were used in regional analysis during desktop study. Through this framework, the occurrence of slope instability was able to be identified and was validate using a confirmatory site- specific analysis.
Nowadays, Malaysia is facing real problem on traffic issues such as traffic congestion, deficiency of land for parking space and increasing vehicle volume. Cycling is one of alternative approach of transportation to overcome traffic issues. This objective of this study is to forecast the travel demand using E-bike in University and comparison of carbon footprint reduces between E-bikes and motorize vehicle. UNITEN has launched a program called Electric Palled-Assisted Biked (EPAB) as topromotes the usage of E-Bikes as their main mode of transportation in UNITEN Putrajaya campus. All the travellingdata have been recording using Application Strava. The CO2 emission and fuel cost for those particular tripshave also addressed in these studies.The result found that 107.27 daily trips were generated by E-bikes in UNITEN Putrajaya campus. The study also found that 88 percent of CO2emission is reduced when substituting car with E-bikes. An astonishing 560.918kg of CO2 was prevented from releasing to the atmosphere. Cycling has been proven as one of alternative option in developed countries to reduce the vehicle volume on the road. Further studies on these topic is highly recommend by increasing the number of participant in future.
In accessing quality bus service in Putrajaya, 6 attributes were chosen as suggested by experts and summary review of four guidelines in bus transit manual from New Zealand, United Kingdom, United State and Australia. Six (6) attributes was identified, namely Services Hours, Load Factor for passenger, Comparison Car and Bus Travel , Frequency of Bus, on-time Performance and Coverage Services Area was conducted to check the quality of services for bus in Putrajaya. As a finding hours of services, passenger load factor and transit automotive comparison travel time was good with A and B rating of quality of services. Meanwhile, service coverage area and on time performance was factor needed to improve immediately. Overall it was found that the bus services in Putrajaya, according to the accessing method by Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM), was considered as moderate.
