Cycling as one of a mode of transport in urban and residential areas has been determined as a solution for the urban issue. It is an active and environmentally friendly mode of travel. However, the relationship between the physical built environment cyclingbehaviour among residential are less associated with increasing the bike-ability of residents. The main factors as a major contributor to bike-ability behaviour are built environment and social factors. The main aspect to determine the interaction between all the factors will be based on the behaviour of individuals and their personal characteristics. The new conceptual framework of bike-ability behaviour was discovered in assisting and producing cycling behaviour within neighbourhoods.
The world's population growth, increasing urbanization and rising standards of living are some of the factors influencing waste generation in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data of the randomly selected 100 households. These households were provided with five (5)polythene bags to separate their daily wastes during the period of fourteen (14) days. The researcher visits each household in the evening to collect the polythene bags. A sample size, adequate to estimate the value with adequate precision was calculated from three residential neighborhoods (low, medium and high cost) The rate of waste generated from recyclable items are 45.51% (1,201.61 kg), followed by food wastes with 33.98% (897.18 kg) and non-recyclable items with 20.51% (541.54 kg). Therefore, the aim of this paper is to understand the waste generation and waste composition in relation to the willingness of the households and the objective are (i) to establish the nature of the waste generation and composition per/day; and (ii) to identify the current stakeholders involved in recycling material. The results clearly show that 96% of respondents are willing to participate in any program for waste minimization. This also indirectly indicates the lifestyle of the household.
The basic concept of neighbourhood refers to a physical boundary where people lead their private lives. Neighbourhood is about physical environment, economy and social which constitute the sense of community and place attachment. The development and neighbourhood changes for urban renewal, urban regeneration and redevelopment are to fulfil the people's needs and requirements. The neighbourhood changes are required to improve the neighbourhood conditions such as neighbourhood quality, liveable neighbourhood, healthy neighbourhood, sustainable neighbourhood, dynamic and self-stabilising neighbourhood, safe neighbourhood and better neighbourhood. All of these are shared towards people's well-being, health, safety and sustainable communities. This article looks into the multivariable influences in the provision of neighbourhood quality for the residents' needs in their housing and neighbourhood area. Previous research had explained three multivariable factors that influenced the quality of neighbourhood namely physical, social and economic aspects. The physical aspects were examined in four categories namely dwelling unit, facilities and services, accessibility and surrounding environment. The social aspects were classified as socio-demographic, social community and social interaction and place attachment. The economic aspect focused on the socio-economic of the residents.
Perak Tengah District had been excluded from being promoted as rural tourism in Perak main tourism clusters. The main problem is the tourism resources have not yet been effectively publicised and utilised and there is no official digital tourism database of tourism products in Perak Tengah District. The aim of this paper is to capture all potential tourism products in Perak Tengah and present it in the interactive map. In this paper, a software QGIS and Google Earth are used to locate and map the distribution of tourism in Perak Tengah District. According to the findings, 229 different tourism products have been located within the study area. The findings show, inadequacy of trade and service and accommodation to support tourism development. Besides that, these tourism products areas are supported by signages, roads, accessibility, parking, and facilities that are sufficient and satisfactory conditions for tourists to come. The mapping of tourism products is categorised into five including place of attraction, food and beverages, accommodation, education, trade, and services. By using coordinates made up of graphic data and qualities for each identified tourist attraction, the results of the identification of the distribution of tourism products are projected on a map.
