• Prepare for environment consequences

Environment Issues in Malaysia

1.Deforestation
Oil palm plantations are a prevalent feature of the Malaysian landscape, as this industry has become a major contributor to the country’s export earnings.The increase in palm oil production has been driven by strong global demand for oils and fats, notably from Europe and China. However, this expansion of land for oil palm cultivation has taken place at the expense of lowland tropical forests, which are ecologically sensitive habitats.
For example Deforestation in Lake Pedu has affected water resources to extended into agricultural land (paddy field). This happens because of the rain is not absorbed because the green trees were cut down and cause soil erosion. Indirectly, the water becomes dirty.

2. Pollution
Malaysia has enjoyed one of the least polluted urban environments in Asia. However, with the massive industrial development of recent years, and an increase in urbanization and vehicle use, air and water pollution are of growing concern. 

Industrial activities can cause the air pollution.

Solid waste by humans into a river or water source has resulted in water resources due to contaminated soil.

Population

What is population?

A population is a summation of all the organisms of the same group or species, who live in the same geographical area, and have the capability of interbreeding. Population also complete group with at least one characteristic in common. Populations are not just people. Populations may consist of, but are not limited to, people, animals, businesses, buildings, motor vehicles, farms, objects or events.

From the data or statistics above clearly shows the world population is increasing due to a better quality of life. China is the most populations than any other country.

Population issues

Due to the increasing population of the world, surely there will be some serious issues if not addressed.

Population issues will exist in one country or global. Rapidly increasing population exacerbates existing problems, such as transnational crime, economic interdependency, climate change, the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS and various other pandemics, and such social issues as gender equality, reproductive health, safe motherhood,human rights, emergency situations, and others.(United Nation, 2013).


There  is many people........ is it enough food to around them......

Reality: Enough food is available to provide at least 4.3 pounds of food to every person on this planet every day. That's enough food to make most people fat! The problem is that many people don't have access to the resources to produce or purchase food

Contribution of City Development Strategies (CDS)

What is Contribution of CDS?

There are many different views on what a City Development Strategy is and how it should be developed, depending on a person’s region, culture and planning background. These varied opinions are also apparent when development partners agree to support a strategy; often, each partner builds on a different understanding of the concept according to respective background or experiences. The diverse views on what constitutes a CDS reflect the complexity of strategy development and urban governance. The issue becomes even more complicated when rising urbanisation rates and growing numbers of poor populations are taken into account; both of these global trends are putting enormous pressure on cities to develop in a more inclusive and participatory manner. Other factors – climate change, international financial crises, and continuous processes of decentralisation – are also exerting greater influence on cities and urban development than in previous decades. (Daphne Frank , 2011).

The concept of sustainable urban development

- Dynamic process to achieve suitable condition that address environment, economy, social and governance sustainable concerns.
- In developing country started from 1998.
- Four main contexts ratified in mentioned session:

• - Agenda 21
• - Rio statement about environment and development 1992
• - Main principles of earth forest sustainable management.
• - UNDP, ENR'S Handbook and Guidelines for Environmental Management and Sustainable Development

CDS- Concepts and definitions
Focus on:

• Liability
• Competitiveness
• Good Government
• Bank ability

We should remind United Nations organization conference on human environment, resulted in Stockholm proclamation in 1972 and this conference was point of inflection in history of human formal view to natural sources and operation systems from earth. Further meetings eventually leaded to formation of environmental conference and development or “earth session” in 1992.
