Abstract

Selangor's growing population and accelerating economic conditions have resulted in the demand for human settlements. As a result, Selangor development has intruded the highland areas and it was constantly hit with overwhelmed landslide disasters. Landslides are now viewed not only as natural catastrophe but as a massive risk to community that must be managed accordingly. Over the years, issues of public participation in local authorities have grown. There are three issues affecting public participation in local authorities: 1) Lack of social capital, 2) Limited community capacity and 3) Limited time consideration. Improving public participation in local authorities significantly to reduce landslide disaster impacts in Selangor. Local authority as the service provider plays an important role in this especially when it relates to policy decision-making. The aim of this research is to establish public participation framework in local authorities as to reduce landslide impacts in Selangor. This review has two objectives: 1) To investigate factors affecting public participation in local authorities and 2) To suggest strategies to encourage public participation in local authorities. This research employed both qualitative and quantitative method. Questionnaires survey will consist of one group of respondents which is highland area residents while Semi-structured interviews with two groups of respondents: 1) Representatives from Resident's Association at any Ampang Jaya's neighbourhood and 2) Representatives from Town Planning Department, Engineering Department & Commissioner of Building (COB) of Ampang Jaya Municipal Council. Public participation is not mandated in the development, construction, or post occupancy stage. In fact, no laws in Malaysia requires public input in slope mitigation or risk reduction works done by the authorities after the development or construction works of the housing schemes are completed. This research sheds light on the importance of public participation in local authorities associated with landslide disaster in Ampang Selangor. This study provides good insights into public participation in local authorities as to reduce landslide disaster impacts in Selangor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Government response to building calamities using certain approaches depends on the types of building failures. Such approaches are the Periodic Building Inspection (PBI) in Malaysia and the Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme (MBIS) in Hong Kong. Both statutory requirements are meant to maintain the safety and structural integrity of buildings, and MBIS is selected for comparison with PBI because of the many parallelisms between the applications of both laws. Since it was made a statutory requirement in 1994, studies have found that PBI implementation by various local authorities in the Klang Valley region, Malaysia was insufficient. Comparing both statutory requirements offer insight and understanding into the compliance issues and solutions, therefore, benefiting the PBI from the proposed improvements. To achieve the aforementioned goal, the following objectives are proposed: a) To compare both statutory periodic building inspections; b) To identify gaps and best practices in both statutory periodic building inspections; and c) To propose improvements for PBI implementation. This research involves data gathering and comparative reviews of prior studies on PBI and MBIS. The study's outcomes suggest significant similarities in the challenges faced during the implementation of both statutory periodic inspections. These challenges encompass unclear legal procedures, insufficient government participation, and weak enforcement. Building owners in both localities also encounter hurdles related to financial limitations, gaining consensus from residents, and selecting suitable engineers. Hong Kong's targeted inspection using a risk-based approach priority can be emulated by local authorities in Malaysia. Hong Kong's approach of allowing other qualified professionals like registered architects and building surveyors to perform initial visual inspections could also be applied in Malaysia. KPKT should consider providing financial support to low cost building owners, similar
