    (Thai Society of Higher Eduation Institutes on Environment, 2018) Nurul Ashikin Mabahwi; Oliver Ling Hoon Leh1; Siti Nur Afiqah Mohamed Musthafa; Kadaruddin Aiyub
    The urban region with high traffic volume and high density developments contributed to the decreasing of air quality. Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health and exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with a series of adverse health effects including respiratory system. Previous scholars found a significant link between respiratory disease and air pollution. However, due to the limited study in the regional context, this study is needed to find the relationship between air quality and human health in the regional context, especially in Malaysia.

    Climate change is a global issue that needs to be tackled by every individual, groups, organization and nations. With our current path of development, climate change seems inevitable. Mitigation measures and adaptation strategies need to be set up just to avoid any further destruction. As IPCC reported that current CO2 level is around 380ppm and will increased to 450ppm under business as usual scenario, stabilization at this point will increased temperature by 2° C. Any increasing in temperature beyond this point will risk human life.This research promote one of mitigating measure, Carbon Reduction Initiatives (CRI) that involved behavior changes on individual and using financial gains as encouragement point.

    Urban environmental health: Respiratory illness and urban factors in Kuala Lumpur city, Malaysia
    (Thai Society of Higher Eduation Institutes on Environment, 2011) Oliver Ling Hoon Leh; Shaharuddin Ahmad; Kadaruddin Aiyub; Yaakob Mohd Jani; Ting Kien Hwa
    With increasing urbanisation, more people are now staying in urban built environments, even though the conditions of the urban environments may not be conducive to urban residents' health. However, with the lack of health data of urban residents, very few studies have been conducted to examine the relationship between urban factors and city residents' health especially in developing countries. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are to examine the rate of respiratory illness (acute respiratory infection and asthma) among residents of Kuala Lumpur City and also to investigate the relationship between the respiratory health rate and urban factors.,
