Item Open Access An Assessment of Coastal Vulnerability of Pahang's Coast Due to Sea Level Rise(Science Publishing Corporation, 2018) Fazly Amri Mohd; Khairul Nizam Abdul Maulud; Othman A. Karim; Rawshan Ara Begum; Md Firoz Khan; Wan Shafrina Wan Mohd Jaafar; Sharifah Mastura Syed Abdullah; Mohd Ekhwan Toriman; Mohd Khairul Amri Kamarudin; Muhammad Barzani Gasim; Noorjima Abd WahabClimate change interacts in a different way with varieties of human activities and other drivers of change along coastlines. Sea level rise (SLR) is one of the major impacts of global warming. Changes in climate extremes and SLR may impact the critical infrastructures such as coastal road, jetty and chalets as well as the local community. The population and assets exposed to coastal risks will increase significantly due to population growth, economic development and urbanization in the future. As most of the cities in Malaysia are situated near the coast, immediate actions are needed to minimize the undesired outcome due to the SLR.The main objective of this study is to identify physical variables that may have impacts on the coastal area, thus develop a coastal vulnerability index (CVI) for the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Seven (7) physical variables have been identified to assess the CVI that consists of geomorphology, coastal slope, shoreline change rate, mean significant wave height, mean tidal range, relative sea level rate and land use.Item Open Access Current and Potential Impacts of Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Areas of Malaysia(IOP Publishing, 2019) Sofia Ehsan; Rawshan Ara Begum; Nor Ghani Md Nor; Khairul Nizam Abdul MauludThis study attempts to highlight the current and potential impacts of sea level rise in several high risk coastal areas of Malaysia. Currently, coastal erosion and coastal flooding are the major effects of sea level rise impacting the important coastal infrastructure.Item Restricted Dynamic impact of household consumption on its CO2 emissions in Malaysia(Springer, 2014) Kazi Sohag; Rawshan Ara Begum; Sharifah Mastura Syed AbdullahThis article aims to measure the dynamic impact of household consumption (final household consumption expenditure, LHC) on CO2 emission from household’s energy consumption in Malaysia from 1971 to 2010.Item Restricted Dynamic impacts of energy use, agricultural land expansion, and deforestation on CO2 emissions in Malaysia(Springer, 2022) Asif Raihan; Rawshan Ara Begum; Mohd Nizam; Mohd Said; Joy Jacqueline PereiraThis study empirically investigates the nexus among energy use, agricultural land expansion, deforestation, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Malaysia. Time series data from 1990 to 2019 were utilized using the bounds testing (ARDL) approach followed by the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method. The DOLS estimate findings show that the energy usage coefficient is positive and significant with CO2 emissions, indicating a 1% increase in energy consumption is related to a 0.91% rise in CO2 emissions.Item Restricted Energy consumption and emission projection for the road transport sector in Malaysia: an application of the LEAP model(Springer, 2016) Musharrat Azam; Jamal Othman; Rawshan Ara Begum; Sharifah Mastura Syed Abdullah; Nor Ghani Md. NorThis study has attempted to estimate the energy consumption and emission of pollutants namely carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) from the road transport sector in Malaysia from the year 2012 till 2040.Item Open Access Household external vulnerability due to climate change in Selangor coast of Malaysia(Elsevier, 2022) Sofia Ehsan; Rawshan Ara Begum; Khairul Nizam Abdul MauludThis study attempted to evaluate vulnerability mapping of the coastal areas due to climate change using an integrative external and internal framework from three dimensions at the household level: exposure (E) to coastal hazards, sensitivity (S) due to demographic, socio-economic and structural characteristics and adaptive capacity (AC) relating to available assets and adaptive behaviour to cope with climate change impacts.Item Restricted Impacts of and Adaptations to Sea Level Rise in Malaysia(IOS Press, 2014) Md. Sujahangir Kabir Sarkar; Rawshan Ara Begum; Joy Jacqueline Pereira; Abdul Hamid Jaafar; M. Yusof SaariSea level rise (SLR) due to global warming would severely affect the coastal areas of many countries of the world through inundation of coastal areas and islands, shoreline erosion, and destruction of important ecosystems such as wetlands and mangroves. A significant increase of sea level would hamper the economy, trade, tourism, biodiversity and livelihood. This article attempts to highlight a snapshot of physical, economic and social impacts of SLR and adaptation measures needed in Malaysia.Item Restricted Impacts of climate change on oil palm production in Malaysia(Springer, 2020) Md. Sujahangir Kabir Sarkar; Rawshan Ara Begum; Joy Jacqueline PereiraStudies reveal that climate change (CC) has higher negative impacts on agricultural production than positive impacts. Therefore, this article attempts to explore the impacts of CC on oil palm production in Malaysia and provides mitigation and adaptation strategies towards reducing such impacts.Item Restricted The awareness, perception and motivational analysis of climate change and business perspectives in Malaysia(Springer, 2013) Rawshan Ara Begum; Joy Jacqueline PereiraThis article aims to present the current state of corporate managers’ awareness and perception of climate change and to identify important motivational factors for company level climate change strategies and actions.
