A study case on estimation of soil loss and sediment yield in Curtin University, Malaysia
(Tecno Scientifica Publishing, 2021) Hui Yee Ngieng; Leong Kong Yong; Striprabu Strimari
Because of human activities, soil erosion has been one of the most concerning issues in Malaysia in the past decades. This study aimed to estimate the amount of soil loss and sediment yield at Curtin University, Malaysia by using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE), respectively. The parameters of RUSLE include rainfall erosivity factor (R), soil erodibility factor (K), slope length factor (L), slope steepness factor (S), cover-management factor (C) and support practice factor (P).

(IOP Publishing, 2022) L B Yeo; W S N Wan Mohamad; R Hasan; N I Othmani; N H Abdul Hamid,N Ramlee; O T S Yeo
This paper proposes an integrated framework to assess the LULC by using the latest complimentary data of Landsat 8 from Earth Explorer-USGS, and subsequently processed in Geographic Information System application (ArcGIS 10.8) by executing two classification techniques: i) interactive supervised classification (ISC) and ii) Iso cluster unsupervised classification (ICUC). The study area is Kelantan, a state located in Peninsular Malaysia. Three hundred sampling points were randomly generated within the boundary of Kelantan to compare the classified map of 2021 with ground data using Google Earth Pro 7.3 and Google Street View.

Analysis of meander evolution studies on effect from land use and climate change at the upstream reach of the Pahang River, Malaysia
(Springer, 2015) Mohd Khairul Amri Kamarudin; Mohd Ekhwan Toriman; Mohd Hafiz Rosli; Hafizan Juahir; Nor Azlina Abdul Aziz; Azman Azid; Syahrir Farihan Mohamed Zainuddin; Wan Nor Azmin Sulaiman
Hydrogeomorphologically, the study of river meandering provides information on the tendency of rivers to reach and form a state of equilibrium. The process of meander changes is important in order to identify the environment-related causes that occur naturally or vice versa. Sedimentation, erosion, flood, and water quality problems usually are being specifically studied, but in a broad view, changes in the platform of the river affect all the problems that occur. This article discusses the effects of the meanders evolution changes from land use and climate change in the upstream of Sungai Pahang in over 61 years from 1932 to 1993.

Application of Coastal Protection Structure for Mangrove Rehabilitation & Rejuvenation of West Coast Johor. Case Study: Tanjong Labuh, Batu Pahat, Johor.
(IOP Publishing, 2022) Mohd Adib Mohammad Razi; Mohd Shalahuddin Adnan; Mustaffa Anjang Ahmad; Anuar Mohd Salleh; Saifullizan Mohd Bukari; Adel Ali Saeed Abduh AlGheethi; Arman Mokhtar
Tanjung Labuh beach was a muddy beach along the Malacca Strait and the shoreline was the land-sea border. The shoreline has an irregular existence and shifts because of human activities and nature, resulting in erosion and sediment eradication on the shore. The aim of this study focuses on identify the coastline changes from the image taken by using drone and to analyse the data from the image by using ArcGIS mapping software and also to determine soil properties, coastal properties and analyse the movement of sediment transport.

Application of geographic information system technique and analytical hierarchy process model for land-use suitability analysis on coastal area
(Springer, 2013) Milad Bagheri; Wan Nor Azmin Sulaiman; Negin Vaghefi
The combination of GIS and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a powerful approach used to assess land suitability. To address this issue, the Analytical Hierarchy Process method is used in combination with the GIS tool. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how GIS tools and AHP model can be used for integrated coastal resource planning and management. Based on the information from final map/suitability map, we can define the best area.

Assessing changes of carbon stock in dipterocarp forest due to hydro-electric dam construction in Malaysia
(Springer, 2021) Hayana Dullah; Marlinda Abdul Malek; Hamdan Omar; Sajjad Ali Mangi; Marlia Mohd Hanafiah
Deforestation and forest degradation are among the leading global concerns, as they could reduce the carbon sink and sequestration potential of the forest. The impoundment of Kenyir River, Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia, in 1985 due to the development of hydropower station has created a large area of water bodies following clearance of forested land. This study assessed the loss of forest carbon due to these activities within the period of 37 years, between 1972 and 2019.

Assessing land use land cover changes in Langkawi island: towards sustainable urban living
(Environmental Management Society Malaysia, 2010) Narimah Samat
Simulating future urban growth might be useful in predicting the future urban fabric and its impact on the society, space and environment. This approach, however, needs to be undertaken with care such that it requires fundamental understanding of past and present situation. At present, urban area in developing nation is experiencing rapid urbanization and undergoing physical transformation, since majority of its population lives in urban area. It is therefore, essential that urban planners and managers understand the past and present land use land cover changes in order to predict its impacts on the society, economy and environment of the cities. This study aims to explore and assess land use land cover changes in Langkawi Island, Malaysia which has experienced significant increase of population during the last decade mainly due to the growth in tourism sector.

(IOP Publishing, 2020) Darren How, J A; Mohd Hasmadi, I; Farrah Melissa, M
Cameron Highlands has witnessed multiple land encroachment activities as well as repeate deforestation leading to extensive land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) over the last 6 decades. This is due to the heightened increase in demand for urban growth as well as agricultural activities and tourism industries. This study aims to identify land cover classes and assess their changes in Cameron Highlands between 2009 and 2019.

Conservation of Sarawak peat swamp in an urban landscape by fuzzy inference system
(Springer, 2011) Darrien Yau Seng Mah
Freshwater habitats are one of the planet’s most important, yet most manipulated, environments. This is what happens in Sarawak that the environment has been radically changed due to urban developments. This paper is promoting the idea that we do not need a complicated but a simple tool like fuzzy inference system to strike a balance between the existence of peat swamp and the humans who live nearer and nearer to it.

Deforestation and timber extraction in Borneo and the Malay Peninsula
(Elsevier, 1990) Harold Brookfield; Yvonne Byron
Since the 1960s the Dipterocarp forests of Southeast Asia have become the principal source of tropical hardwood timber entering world trade. The transformation of the rain forest environment in the Malay Peninsula and Borneo has generated increasing international and local concern. After reviewing the general issues, the authors make use of export data for Peninsular Malaysia and each political unit of the island of Borneo to provide a consistent data source around which events can be described and analysed.

Effect of compaction on soil CO2 and CH4 fluxes from tropical peatland in Sarawak, Malaysia
(Springer, 2021) Nur Azima Busman; Nagamitsu Maie; Che Fauziah Ishak; Muhammad Firdaus Sulaiman; Lulie Melling
Tropical peatland stores a large amount of carbon (C) and is an important C sink. In Malaysia, about 25% of the peatland area has been converted to oil palm plantation where drainage, compaction and groundwater table control are prerequisite. To date, relationship between land compaction and C emission from tropical peatland is scarcely studied. To understand the effect of compaction on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) flux from tropical peatland, a laboratory soil column incubation was conducted.

Grandview Heights, Paya Terubong is an old apartment building situated on a coarse-grained biotite granitic bedrock hillside. Paya Terubong is a landslide prone area where various landslides have been reported since 1998. The granitic hill has been disturbed during construction of the apartment. Due to the possibility of future landslides, an engineering geological study was conducted to assess the stability of this rock hill beneath this apartment. The scopes of study included discontinuity surveys, geomechanical characterization of the rock mass and slope stability analysis.
