“…For this study, FELDA intervention in providing funding could provide impetus for the small businesses to achieve business success. For example, FELDA has allocated RM100 million in interest free loans for the small businesses to purchase equipment and machinery (Aziz, Hassan, & Saud, 2012). Apart from that, FELDA has also cooperated with other agencies in providing training for human capital development in the area of business management, financial, marketing, and product development.…”

This study attempts to identify the antecedents of business success in the Malaysian perspective, with particular reference to small businesses under the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) scheme. Cross sectional data were collected from 199 small businesses operating under the (FELDA) scheme via questionnaire. The data collected were analysed using partial least square method. The empirical results indicated that only entrepreneurial competency and technology usage are related to successes of small businesses. However, this study found insufficient empirical evidence to support the relationship between marketing capability, financial resources, knowledge sharing, and business success. As this study was confined to the small businesses under the FELDA scheme, this provides valuable findings by uncovering the differences among the critical success factors due to the different reasons for formation of the small businesses. The insights gained from this study could facilitate industry practitioners to develop comprehensive business strategies and effective institutional policies to maintain the global competitiveness of small businesses under the FELDA scheme.

“…This is because most infrastructures are built in urban areas to cater to the needs of industries, shelter, recreation, and other services (Yaakob et al, 2010;KeTTHA, 2011). The urban cities also are where new job opportunities are created (Aziz et al, 2012) and high-skill manpower is available (Shahbaz et al, 2016). Indeed, the urban sector serves as an important catalyst toward Malaysian economic growth and a vital investment center for the nation.…”

“…Urbanization started to increase after 1970 (Yaakob et al, 2010) exactly after the implementation of National Energy Policy (NEP). In the 1990s, this trend continued, and now it is more rapid due to the extensive rural migration, high intensity of industrial development (Shahbaz et al, 2016), and diversification of economic activities (Aziz et al, 2012). As a result, many cities, especially in the west peninsular of Malaysia, have been developed such as Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johore Bahru, Shah Alam, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, and Ipoh (Bekhet & Othman, 2016;Shahbaz et al, 2016;Shahbaz et al, 2015;Yaakob et al, 2010).…”

Urbanization is a phenomenon of economic and social modernization. Investigating the link between urbanization growth and CO 2 emissions is necessary and helpful for Malaysia to achieve its pollution reduction targets. Ecological modernization and augmented Cobb-Douglas production theories are used in order to gain the best understanding of interaction between CO 2 emissions and urbanization for the 1971-2015 period. This study aims to examine the relationships among CO 2 emissions, urbanization growth, energy consumption, GDP, domestic investment, and financial development. The F-bounds test and VECM Granger causality are utilized. The dynamic relationship among variables and the inverted U-shaped relationship between CO 2 emissions and urbanization in the long run are examined. The elasticity of CO 2urbanization is found positive elastic in the early stage of urbanization, but it turns to negative inelastic at the higher urbanization stage. Furthermore, the unidirectional causality from urbanization to CO 2 emissions in the short run are at a 1 percent level of significance, and the bidirectional causality between CO 2 emissions and urbanization is at a 5 percent level of significance in the long run. Also, we captured bidirectional causality among energy consumption, domestic investment, GDP, CO 2 emissions, and unidirectional causality from financial development to CO 2 emissions at least at a 5 percent level of significance. These findings could support policymakers in managing urbanization development and considering clean investment and other green aspects for urban sustainable development, which can save many people from natural disaster.

“…South Korea (eastern culture) has a high anxiety about aging level, which according to Yun and Lachman (2006) confirms that cultural traditions and values have diminished as a result of urbanization. Urbanization has an influence on social and cultural change (Aziz, Hassan, and Saud, 2012).…”

This study has been made with the purpose to find out the relationship between cultural values and anxiety about aging. The subjects of this study were Toraja people of middle age groups (40-60 years) and late adults (60 years and over) who were still performing the Ma 'Nene' or Ma 'Ta' Da 'ritual totaling 203 subjects. The instrument used in this study is the INDVALS scale (Sihombing, 2014) to measure cultural value with Cronbach Alpha of 0.866 and AAS scale (Lasher and Faulkender, 1993) to measure anxiety about aging with Cronbach Alpha of 0.82. Data analysis uses the help of the SPSS 21.0 for Windows statistical program. Hypothesis analysis results were acquired using the Spearman method. The results of the analysis showed a significance value (ρ) of 0.000 <α = 0.05 with a correlation coefficient of-0.295, so the results of this study are that there is a negative relationship between the cultural value of anxiety about aging.
