Pengenalan
The Environmental and Transportation Planning Research Group is focused on matters related to environmental planning and management, transportation and urban, regional and land planning. We study how to make our living environments and transportation systems more sustainable and reliable for the growing population. We monitor on how current transportation planning systems in Malaysia shape and influence its surroundings through assessment of the deliverability and efficiency of transportation in meeting human needs in travel demands for short and long distances.
The mobility challenges experienced by users were addressed and also the impacts on the communities affected were examined by combining a range of multi-disciplines including of transportation, land use, environmental, land planning, in various aspects but not limited to: planning, management, policies, decision making, economic, social and well-being.
We integrate and interlink the environmental planning and transport planning practices into one comprehensive study with an intention to develop better understanding between environmental conservation and transportation needs. The research team conducts several methods including literature analysis, on-site survey, interviews with related agencies, geographic analysis, policies implementation, and others to design and suggest potential strategies and more effective approaches that will enhance environmental stewardship whilst also fulfilling transportation objectives in a sustainable manner.
We engage closely with relevant stakeholders and interested parties to ensure cohesive interactions regarding the problem and issues arise thus coming out with possible solutions through understanding complex ways of how land use, transportation and environment affect each other. Understanding how the natural ecosystem of our environment would be affected by land use and transportation activities is the key to propose ecological and ecosystem-based mitigation options or remedial actions that stakeholders and related parties should take into account.
