    Kemudahterancaman (vulnerability) penduduk terhadap perubahan guna tanah di Selangor
    (Environmental Management Society Malaysia, 2004) Shaharudin Idrus; Lim Choun Sian; Abdul Samad Hadi
    The changes in land use and land cover indicate the development changes that occur at a certain place. Selangor has an area of 796,084 hectares and consists of nine districts. The state government of Selangor plans to achieve the most developed state status by the year 2005. Consequently, land use patterns have changed tremendously, especially within the past five years. The change in land use, especially from forest to non-forest, results in environmental degradation that will eventually threaten human life in that particular area. Whether we realize it or not, the change in land use may increase people's vulnerability in a society that tries to achieve development in line with the framework of sustainable development. This article will examine the changes in land use and land cover which has occurred within the last four decades (1966-2001) using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and its relationship with vulnerability to human life in the surrounding area.

    The impact of urban growth on regional air quality surrounding the Langat River Basin, Malaysia
    (Springer, 2011) Mohd Talib Latif; Siti Zawiyah Azmi; Ahmad Daud Mohamed Noor; Aida Shafawati Ismail; Zaharizam Johny; Shaharudin Idrus; Ahmad Fariz Mohamed; Mazlin Bin Mokhtar
    Studies of air quality were carried out in the towns of Kajang, Nilai and Banting in the Langat River Basin, southern region of Kuala Lumpur to determine the status and trend of air quality. The determination of air quality was based on several parameters such as suspended solids with diameters less than 10 μm (PM10) and gaseous pollutants of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO). Primary concentration data of air pollutants were compiled through fieldwork studies and combined with secondary data obtained from the regular monitoring data as collected by Alam Sekitar Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (ASMA) on behalf of Malaysian Department of Environment (DOE) at their stations in Kajang and Nilai.
