036 - TEKA BANDAR (1)..NAMA BANDAR???

RM20/- untuk sesiapa yang dapat meneka nama bandar seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh foto ini:...... untuk 2SBW-JBPW-FAB-UTM sahaja. Yang pertama memberikan jawapan yang betul sahaja.


........Sebuah bandar yang sibuk dengan saiz penduduk 15 juta, terletak di suatu teluk. Sebuah bandar pelabuhan, pusat perdagangan & cultural. Mengalami pembangunan yang pesat ‘boom’ selepas negaranya merdeka pada 50 tahun lalu (dekat-dekat sama Malaysia merdeka). Bandar yang mengalami perkembangan paling pesat. Salah satu ‘world's fastest growing cities’. Menghadapi rebakan bandar ‘urban sprawl yang chaotic, dan sesak; Kekurangan infrastructure untuk pelancongan, penuh dengan ‘kumpulan religious and ethnic yang kompleks’. Jalanraya senantiasa mengalami kesesakan yang teruk, pemandu banyak yang tidak berdisiplin dan blackouts di bangunan dalam bandar kerap dihadapi. Bandar ini mempunyai Museum, Theatre, Market yang terkenal dan banyak juga kawasan pantai yang indah yang boleh diterokai............ Lagi clue,...bandar ni bekas ibu negara. Dek kerana mengalami sprawl yang teruk, trafif jam dan terlalu compact, tak boleh berkembang lagi, Kerajaannya membina satu bandar pentadbiran baru..ala-ala Putrajaya gitu, di bahagian tengah negaranya. Bandar pentadbiran baru ini (Bermula dengan huruf A) berkonsepkan .......intelectual garden city.... dikatakan (ye ke!) salah satu dari pada lima bandar terancang yang yang terindah di dunia..Semua Urban planner perlu tahu. Uprgade your urban planning knowledge..

Jawapannya:
..." L a g o s was the former capital city of Nigeria but it has since been replaced by Abuja. Abuja officially gained its status as the capital of Nigeria on 12 December 1991. Today, the word Lagos most often refers to the urban area, called "Metropolitan Lagos" in Nigeria, which includes both the islands of the former municipality of Lagos and the mainland suburbs. Lagos State government is responsible for some of the utilities including roads and transportation, power, water, health, and education. Lagos City has a considerable amount of high rise buildings which makes up its skyline. Most of the tall buildings are located in around the downtown Central Business District. Lagos is a huge metropolis which originated on islands separated by creeks, such as Lagos Island, that fringe the southwest mouth of Lagos Lagoon, protected from the Atlantic Ocean by long sand spits such as Bar Beach which stretch up to 100 km east and west of the mouth. From the beginning Lagos has spread on the mainland west of the lagoon and the conurbation, including Ikeja and Agege, now reaches more than 40 km north-west of Lagos Island. There are Lagos Outskirts like Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry and recently more local councils have been created to bring the total numbers of local government to 56. The city is the economic and financial capital of Nigeria.
It is hard to believe that Lagos, Nigeria's biggest, busiest city with a population of roughly 15 million and counting, had its origins as a small Yoruba settlement. Spread over several large islands on a vast lagoon (hence its name) and the mainland near the Gulf of Guinea, Lagos is Nigeria's principal port and its commercial and cultural centre. The former capital grew to prominence when it was 'discovered' by the Portuguese in the late 1400s and became a central trading post for the area, also serving as a major hub of the slave trade. When the British annexed the city in 1861, they effectively put a stop to the slave trade, but took control of the trade and industry of the area. Once Nigeria gained independence in 1960, Lagos experienced a boom, which swelled the city's population and today, Lagos is one of the world's fastest growing cities with a full and complex tapestry of religious and ethnic groups.The sprawling city is chaotic, crowded and lacks any major tourism infrastructure. Most visitors come here for business and there are few sights in the tourist sense. Streets are congested, drivers are maniacal and blackouts are common. However, the convoluted history of the city, and Nigeria as a whole, contributes to its exotic flavour. Lagos has an interesting National Museum, National Theatre, several markets and some decent beaches to explore ".

034 - Motivasi lagi..Menjadi Remaja Hebat - TIADA EGO

Sifat ego adalah penyakit batin. Bagi remaja ia sering mencabar diri – kerana ego adalah suatu yang dialami dalam proses bagi mematangkan personaliti. Ianya adalah abstrak atau maknawiyah, yang tidak dapat dilihat dengan mata kasar. Namun tetap dapat dikesan melalui tanda-tanda lahiriah pada sikap seseorang itu. Atau dengan kata lain, sifat ego itu ada manifestasi atau implikasinya. Hindarilah bersifat ego. Ia adalah anak-anak tangga menuju riak, bangga diri, bodoh sombong, lupa diri, berlagak, ‘self-centered’, fikiran materialistik, & dibenci orang. Di antara ciri-ciri ego itu adalah seperti berikut :-
1. Menolak Tuhan - Inilah peringkat paling tinggi keegoan manusia.
2. Menolak dan tidak mahu menegak kebenaran.
3. Tidak mahu menerima pendapat atau nasihat orang lain.
4. Sukar untuk tunduk kepada peraturan dan perintah ketuanya.
5. Sering sahaja bercekak pinggang sebagai gambaran membesar diri.
6. Payah hendak bertegur sapa kecuali kalau orang lain mendahuluinya.
7. Isi perbualan atau percakapannya sering saja melebihkan diri.
8. Selalu berwajah serius dan masam - Ditambah pula dengan sikap yang sukar mesra.
9. Sangat memilih kawan terutamanya di kalangan orang yang setaraf sahaja.
10. Sangat mudah tercabar oleh kebaikan orang lain.
11. Mudah menjadi marah terutamanya kalau orang lain yang membuat silap, lebih-lebih lagi kalau kesilapan itu tertimpa ke atas dirinya.
12. Kalau dia terbukti bersalah sangat sukar untuk meminta maaf.
13. Tidak boleh ditegur atau tidak mahu menerima teguran.
14. Sangat suka dipuji malah sentiasa menunggu-nunggu sahaja akan pujian orang kepadanya.
15. Sangat suka berbahas. Dalam perbahasan pula sering meninggikan suara.

Kepada Remaja – perlahan-lahan hindari ciri-ciri ini satu persatu jika mampu sesegeranya, hari kehari....tahun ke tahun hingga ke titiknya.

029 - “Suburban village” model and its components

The suburban villages concept is valuable as it encourages human scale design features, higher densities, environmental improvements, mixed use and opportunities to use transit instead of the car. New developments based on the suburban villages concept offer a choice of housing and lifestyle and potentially an improvement in quality of life. The concept could be appropriate to areas around the City provided developments are well-planned and compatible with their surroundings.

Physical components
An suburban village is designed with a mix of uses and activities. Buildings front onto the streets and densities are generally higher. The streets are connected and provide direct routes. The community size allows housing, jobs and services to be within walking distance of each other. A diversity of housing types accommodates a range of income levels, a mixed commercial and residential main street and a pedestrian-friendly layout with an emphasis on public spaces.

Social components
Within a suburban village, opportunities for meeting other residents are an important part of the village concept. Services such as the corner store, post office, schools and coffee shops are located in the community and within walking distance of homes. Housing for a variety of ages and socio-economic groups is inter-mixed to encourage the interaction of different groups.

Economic components
Employment, retail uses and community services are located within the community with the aim of reducing travel and building on the benefits of social interaction. Businesses that can provide a range of job types help to maximise local employment opportunities.

Transportation components
A suburban village includes a layout which encourages walking to work, shopping and services. A suburban village may have a transit centre as a focus so that residents are not dependent on car transport. Bicycle paths and direct footpaths encourage non-motorized transport.

Environmental components
An ample supply of open space, parks and green areas provides a pleasant natural environment. The emphasis on transit, walking and cycling helps to reduce the use motor vehicles.

028 - Writing a Compelling Vision Statement in Suburban Neighbourhood Planning

A vision statement is a vivid idealized description of a desired outcome that inspires, energizes and helps you create a mental picture of your target. It could be a vision of a part of your life, or the outcome of a project, plan or goal.
For projects, plans and goals, the vision statement should focus on the desired outcome of the project/goal at its completion date. Here are some guidelines for writing compelling and powerful vision statements:



- Summarize Your Vision in a Powerful Phrase.

- Take as Much Space as You Need.

- Your Vision Statement Should Describe the Best Possible Outcome.

- Make your Vision Statement Emotional.

- Add Sensory Details to Your Vision Statement.

Some examples:

“ Creation of a well-designed, family focused and inviting pedestrian-oriented destination served by multi-modal transit, and providing healthy, varied community- and visitor-serving uses for the families and residents ”.

" To build a true “suburban village,” a self-sustainable community “where people can live, work, shop and entertain within the area in order to achieve smart-growth vision for strengthening the community “.“

“ To create the dynamic mix of commercial, employment, residential and open space uses thats will result in quality developments in promoting higher densities, support transit, reduce automobile trips, and preserve the natural environment “.

"To create market-oriented land development towards collaborative, replicable models and processes that balance economic viability, environmental health, social equity and cultural vitality”.

“ To develop as an inspirational neighbourhood benefiting both people and the environment, now and in the future by integrate beautifully designed natural, public, private and commercial spaces into a pedestrian friendly, mixed use community for young families, active adults and seniors”.

“ Makes sustainable living easy, attractive and affordable, creates a high quality of life while enabling residents to live within the ecological limits, striking a balance between economic prosperity, social responsibility and environmental”.

“ To create community connections, diversity, vitality and convenience within the area with sufficient and varied housing supply, access to public transportation and reduced vehicular traffic“.

“ To create a place to live and work where there is less dependence on automobile transportation and to create connections between people, places and the environment where people are connected to the land and to each other ; where the environment truly is sustainable with community gardens, recycling, composting, gray water systems, and solar siting all are encouraged and flourish “.

027 - SUMBER-SUMBER ILMU DAN....PELAJAR SEBAGAI PENCARI ILMU

Ilmu perlu dilihat sebagai satu kaedah untuk mencari kebenaran - memenuhi keperluan masakini dan akan datang. Ia bertitik tolak dari sumber tauhid - kepercayaan, keimanan dan ketaqwaan. Sumber ilmu adalah berbagai - dari sumber wahyu kepada fungsi pancaindera. Kebenaran ilmu menjadi kayu pengukur kepada martabat sumber-sumber ilmu.

Sumber Indera : Anggota badan - penglihatan, bau, rasa dan seumpamanya.
Sumber Akal : Penggunaan akal dan pertimbangan fikiran.
(tumpuan kepada hal-hal yang bersifat lahiriah, fizikal dan boleh wujud perbezaan antara manusia)

Sumber Ilham : Kreativiti, inovatif dan daya fikir yang tinggi.
(Hal-hal yang bersifat emosi bagi membezakan yang baik dan yang buruk dan pemikiran inovatif)

Sumber Intuisi : Gerak hati yang suci, naluri yang bersih dan semulajadi.
(Hal-hal yang bersifat logik, ke arah penyelesaian dan menentukan kebenaran)

Sumber Wahyu : Ilmu Al-Yaqin dan hakiki - kurniaan Ilahi.
(Mencari keredaan, menegak kebenaran dan boleh berada di dalam atau di luar keupayaan akal manusia pada satu-satu masa)

Ilmu dari sumber wahyu berada di martabat yang paling tinggi, kemudian intuisi, ilham, akal dan akhir sekali indera. Namun kita perlu menghargai setiap sumber ilmu sesuai dengan sifat dan fungsinya.

Mencari ilmu....Jangan terlalu bergantung kepada sumber Internet, hasil kajian orang lain dan bahan rujukan teks semata-mata. Juga gunakan kekuatan pada diri sendiri yang ada.

026 - PENSYARAH.....OH.......PENSYARAH!!! Kesilapan Para Pensyarah dan Cikgu-cikgu semasa dalam kelas

10@KESILAPAN PARA PENSYARAH SEMASA KULIAH:

Kesilapan@10. When you ask a question in class, immediately call for volunteers - Few students even bother to think about the question, since they know that eventually someone else will provide the answer.

Kesilapan@9. Call on students without giving them time to think - Please… ask the question and give the students a short time to come up with an answer.

Kesilapan@8. Turn classes into PowerPoint shows.

Kesilapan@7. Fail to provide variety in instruction - Almost nonstop lecturing - Do not motivate students by sharing their experience and wisdom.

Kesilapan@6. Have students work in groups with no individual accountability.

Kesilapan@5. Fail to establish relevance of course content to their interests and career goals.

Kesilapan@4. Give tests that are too long.

Kesilapan@3: Get stuck in a rut - feel satisfied with the lecture notes & don't change a thing for the rest of their careers.

Kesilapan@2. Teach without clear learning objectives.

Kesilapan@1. Disrespect students - If you give students a sense that you don't respect them, probably its a bad experience for everyone no matter what else you do.

025 - Presentation Mistake & A Better Scenario for Studiowork Presentation

Bandar Acheh: Before & After Tsunami


Presentation Mistake #1 - You Don't Know Your Topic!
You memorized the content. Someone has a question. Panic sets in. You never prepared for questions and all you know about this topic is what is written on the slides.

A better scenario: Know your material so well, Be prepared for questions and know the answers.

Presentation Mistake #2 - The Slides Are Not Your Presentation
Each of your slides in filled with the text of your speech. Why do they need you in front?

A better scenario : Always remember that you are the presentation. The slide show should only be used as an accompaniment to your talk. Simplify the content. Speak to the audience, not to the screen.

Presentation Mistake #3 - Too Much Information
You know so much about the topic, that you jump from here to there and back again talking about everything, and no one can follow the thread of the presentation.

A better scenario : Use the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep It Silly Simple) when designing a presentation. Stick to three, or at the most, four points about your topic and give further details about them.

Presentation Mistake #4 - Poorly Chosen Design or Theme
You heard blue was a good color for a design template or design theme, with a beach scene. Water is blue, right? Unfortunately, your presentation is about some effective new tools.

A better scenario
Choose a design that is appropriate for the audience. A clean, straightforward layout is best for project presentations.

Presentation Mistake #5 - Electrifying Color Choices
Audiences don't like unusual color combinations. Some are unsettling and red and green combos can't be differentiated by those with color blindness.

A better scenario
Good contrast with the background is essential to make your text easy to read. Dark text on a light background is best. Off white or light beige is easier on the eyes than the typical white. Dark backgrounds are very effective, if the text is light for easy reading. Patterned or textured backgrounds make text hard to read.

Presentation Mistake #6 - Poor Font Choices
Small, script type fonts might look great when you are sitting 18 inches away from the monitor. You didn't consider the audience sitting 50 feet away from the screen who can't read them.

A better scenario : Stick to easy to read fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman. Use no more than two different fonts – one for headings, another for content and no less than a 30 pt font so that people at the back of the room can read them easily.

Presentation Mistake #7 - Extraneous Photos and Graphs
You figured no one will notice that you didn't do much research on your topic if you add lots of photos and complicated looking graphs.

A better scenario : Use photos, charts and diagrams only to emphasize key points of your presentation. Illustrate, don't decorate.

Presentation Mistake #8 - Too Many Slides
Your vacation cruise was so fantastic that you took 200 photos, and put them all in a digital photo album to impress your friends. After the first 50 slides, snores were heard in the room.

A better scenario : Ensure your audience stays focused by keeping the number of slides to a minimum. 20 to 30 is plenty. Be kind though. Think how much you enjoy everyone else’s vacation pictures!

Presentation Mistake #9 - Different Animations on Every Slide
You found all the really cool animations and sounds and used 85% of them in your presentation, to impress everyone with your flair. The audience doesn’t know where to look, and have totally lost the message of your presentation.

A better scenario : Animations and sounds, used well, can heighten interest, but don't distract the audience with too much of a good thing. Don't let your audience suffer from animation overload.

Presentation Mistake #10 - Hardware Malfunctions
The audience is settled. You are all set to start your presentation and - guess what? The computer doesn't work. You didn’t bother to check it out earlier.

A better scenario : Check all the equipment and rehearse your presentation,

023 - PANDANGAN PAKAR TENTANG REMAJA MASAKINI

Isu-isu membabitkan remaja hangat diperkatakan, melibatkan berbagai strata, tempat dan di mana-mana. ..Generasi milenium, generasi X,Y……Secara tidak langsung, isu ini turut menggambarkan bahawa bahawa remaja kini ramai yang semakin agresif, berani dan mudah dipengaruhi. Banyak melibatkan perasaan, emosi yang berbagai. Juga melibatkan naluri, nafsu, hiburan, keberanian, dan juga setengahnya amat pasif?………Berada di ‘comfort zone’ yang amat tinggi.

Naluri Remaja - Perasaan Ingin Tahu dan Ingin Mencuba. Pada peringkat usia ini, mereka mempunyai perasaan ingin tahu yang tinggi. Justeru apa-apa sahaja perkara baru yang terjadi di sekeliling mereka, akan mengundang perasaan ingin tahu di kalangan remaja. Perasaan begitu sebenarnya adalah baik untuk remaja, namun yang menimbulkan masalah apabila mereka tiada ‘guide line’ dari orang-orang yang sepatutnya, umpamanya para ibu bapa, keluarga, orang terdekat dan sebagainya. Jadi perasaan ingin tahu remaja akan mendorong mereka melakukan apa ingin dilakukan tanpa memikirkan baik atau buruknya perkara perkara tersebut.

Pengaruh Rakan Sebaya - Kawan-kawan menjadi orang yang rapat dengan mereka. Kawan yang baik, boleh membimbing mereka kepada kebaikan, namun jika tersilap memilih kawan, akan mempengaruhi mereka kepada perkara-perkara yang buruk. Selain itu sikap remaja turut menyumbang kepada gejala sosial, kadangkala mereka ini terlalu mudah mempercayai orang lain. Umpamanya, jika mereka merasakan rakan-rakan mereka lebih rapat dan lebih memahami, dengan mudah mereka akan mengikut apa yang dilakukan oleh rakan-rakan.

Mencari Keseronokkan - Sikap remaja juga memikirkan keseronokan. Jadi apa sahaja benda-benda yang memberikan keseronokan kepada mereka akan dilakukan sama ada kerana terikut-ikut dengan sikap kawan-kawan atau pilihan sendiri. Ketika ini apa yang terlintas di pemikiran mereka adalah keseronokan tanpa memikirkan akibat perbuatan mereka itu kelak.

Pengaruh Media Massa dan Internet - Juga menjadi penyumbang kepada berlakunya gejala sosial di kalangan para remaja hari ini. Namun tidak semuanya apa yang dipaparkan di media massa itu memberikan kesan yang buruk. Namun, ada segelintir rancangan-rancangan yang bersifat hiburan semata-mata mempengaruhi para remaja dengan perkara yang tidak baik. Umpamanya corak pergaulan remaja yang jauh dari nilai-nilai ketimuran, cara berpakaian yang kurang sopan dan gaya hidup yang tidak sesuai.

Sikap Keluarga - Dalam hal ini keluarga juga ada kalanya menjadi pendorong bertambahnya gejala sosial di kalangan remaja. Keluarga yang mengamalkan sikap terlalu mengongkong atau terlalu memberikan kebebasan kepada para remaja. Terlalu mengongkong ialah keluarga yang mengamalkan sikap terlalu tertutup - menyebabkan jiwa remaja memberontak dan jika berpeluang keluar dari keadaan itu mereka akan melakukan apa sahaja yang terlintas di fikiran tanpa berfikir panjang. Memberikan Kebebasan biasanya bersikap terbuka yang keterlaluan. Keadaan ini tidak baik kerana para remaja perlukan sesuatu yang boleh dijadikan panduan untuk menjalani kehidupan mereka. Mereka tidak boleh membiarkan anak-anak bersendirian menentukan jalan hidup mereka - remaja perlu dibimbing.

Nasihat Untuk Remaja - Pilih kawan-kawan yang boleh memimpin ke jalan kebaikan - Jangan mudah terpengaruh - Kenali orang-orang di sekeliling - Dapatkan seseorang yang boleh menjadi ‘role model’ - Murnikan hati dan tingkat ilmu dan cara berfikir.

2010 A New Milestone For Rural And Regional Development Ministry
Ditulis oleh BERNAMA Isnin, 25 Januari 2010 14:46
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 (Bernama) -- The year 2010 is a significant year for the Rural and Regional Development Ministry as the ministry will be implementing the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) agenda. The NKRA, announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak last July covers six core areas with the task to improve rural infrastructure and amenities entrusted with the ministry and its Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal. The remaining five NKRA cores are improving the standard of living of low wage earners, reducing crime, eradicating corruption, improving access to education of quality and improving the public transportation system all in the medium term.

And for each of the core areas, the respective minister will be leading the efforts.

FOUR SUB-NKRA FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT

As for the rural NKRA, there are four sub-NKRA given focus namely Connecting Roads, Rural Water Supply, Rural Electricity Supply and the Household Aid Programme.

Mohd Shafie pointed out, comparatively, the Rural-NKRA has been the most challenging one with the biggest allocation amounting to almost RM17 billion and the implementation process is set to take a long time.

If seen from the enormous work involved and the short time frame, each one of the sub-NKRA calls for greater efforts and commitment from the ministry's employees.

"However, under the NKRA, the duration is much shorter about three years only where we will be building 1,500km of rural roads, that is four times longer," he said in his new year message to the employees of the ministry.

Other than the NKRA, also from 2010, the ministry will launch Minister Key Result Area (MKRA) with three sub focus areas - improving the livelihood of smallholders, entrepreneur development and Orang Asli community development.

THE 9MP

Meanwhile, more than 25 per cent of the allocation under 9MP have yet to be utilised. This indirectly indicates that there are a number of projects yet to be completed. The total allocation for the ministry under 9MP is RM16.47 billion, a staggering figure. Up to Dec 31, 2009, which also marks the end of 9MP period, about RM12.07 billion or 73 per cent of the total amount has been utilised and the ministry has started to prepare for the 10th MP.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN

Other than the focus for the projects under the NKRA, human capital and entrepreneurial development are also given emphasis to meet the goals of making Malaysia a high wage economy.

In focusing on NKRA and the three sub focus areas under MKRA, the Rural Development Master Plan is being drafted to serve as a comprehensive guideline for the coming 10 years, culminating in the goals of Vision 2020.

This master plan determines the direction of rural development and serves as the guideline for related agencies in implementing development. The master plan that is expected to be ready by September 2010 is to integrate new development policies with the existing ones including decisions of the Cabinet.

019 - A Model Suburban Village

Hancunhe: A Model Suburban Village
How a poor village on the outskirts of Beijing becomes the prototype for a new and wealthy "modern countryside"

Some principal to Create Suburban Neighbourhood

Principle for Creating Neighborhood Identity
Establishing and preserving identity relies on a commonly held neighborhood
image and the qualities that make it distinct. Concept plan recommends
the following physical improvements, in coordination with neighborhood associations.
• Neighborhood gateway markers.
• Traffic calming on residential streets, if desired, and located with input from neighborhoods.
• Enhanced street lighting (maintain existing, supplement when appropriate).
• Street trees.
• Architectural compatibility for new residential initiatives.
• Adequate landscape buffering between residential and non-residential development.
• Rehabilitation or infill of existing single family, or new residential development, around neighborhood villages
• Provide new residential development opportunities, where appropriate, to allow a diverse population and market segment to be part of the neighborhood fabric.

Principle for Establish Neighborhood Connection
The principle of neighborhood connection involves a strategy to link residents
among and within neighborhoods, along the corridor, and with other neighborhood
villages. The concept plan recommends:
• Physical connection enhancement through sidewalks, pedestrian, and bike
• trails.
• Sidewalks should be maintained and extended throughout neighborhoods
• Program and policy connections, such as partnering to ensure that transit opportunities meet the needs of the community, as redevelopment initiatives become a reality.

016 - Rebakan Pembandaran & Suburban Village (Kampung Pinggir Bandar)

Petempatan kampung yang terletak di pinggir bandar dalam wilayah membangun pesat kian dihimpit oleh rebakan pembandaran. Sebahagiannya mengalami perubahan identiti dan lenyap dalam arus kepesatan pembangunan terancang. Kajian-kajian di luar negara mengenalpasti impak yang pelbagai dari aspek fizikal dan bukan fizikal akibat dari rebakan pembandaran tetapi fokus impak yang dikaji adalah lebih secara umum terutama dalam aspek guna tanah atau pembangunan kawasan pinggir bandar secara keseluruhannya. Namun apa yang penting fokus perlu diberikan dengan lebih spesifik, impak yang dialami oleh penduduk kampung pinggir bandar disebabkan oleh fenomena rebakan pembandaran. Ini penting bagi membentuk parameter perancangan untuk kampung pinggir bandar terutama yang melibatkan program penempatan semula penduduk, peningkatan kemudahan, mahupun pembangunan semula kawasan. Kajian-kajian menggunakan indeks pengaruh pembandaran bagi menentukan indikator impak aspek fizikal, sosioekonomi dan sosiobudaya perlu diberi perhatian. Kajian terdahulu mendapati kesan ketara adalah pengurangan bilangan jenis rumah kampung, dan pengurangan pemilikan rumah sendiri, dihadapi oleh kebanyakan kampung. Penemuan lebih terperinci mendapati rebakan pembandaran memberi impak lebih ketara kepada aspek bukan fizikal daripada aspek fizikal. Tahap kualiti perumahan dan kemudahan fizikal dalam kawasan kajian adalah rendah dan ini mempengaruhi kualiti hidup penduduk secara keseluruhannya. Faktor jarak petempatan dari sempadan bandar didapati merupakan penentu utama impak. Rebakan pembandaran memberikan kesan lebih positif kepada aspek fizikal seperti kemudahan sosial yang baik, berbanding aspek sosioekonomi ataupun sosiobudaya. Rebakan pembandaran juga memberi impak ke atas peningkatan masalah sosial seperti jenayah, kecurian dan penagihan dadah di petempatan tertentu. Bagi memastikan petempatan kampung pinggir bandar tidak berterusan menerima tekanan pembangunan, dasar perancangan yang lebih komprehensif bagi pembangunan luar bandar diperlukan. Pewilayahan petempatan luar bandar merupakan parameter perancangan ke arah peningkatan kualiti hidup penduduk luar bandar melalui pembentukan pembangunan mampan/lestari yang dinamik. Kawalan rebakan pembandaran dapat dibuat melalui pembentukan wilayah baru gabungan ciri-ciri tipologi bandar-luar bandar sebagai kawasan peralehan/‘intermediate areas’. Pembentukan wilayah ini boleh meluaskan potensi pembangunan kawasan pinggir bandar bagi menggantikan sempadan bandar yang rigid. Kelemahan bidang perancangan bandar dalam mengintegrasikan hubungkait antara aspek fizikal dan bukan fizikal bagi peningkatan kehidupan penduduk yang lebih baik perlu disedari. Fokus perancangan bandar perlu disemak semula ke arah mengubal strategi pembangunan yang lebih menyeluruh berkaitan dengan keperluan meluas perancangan wilayah dan luar bandar. Ini boleh memupuk ke arah kaedah merancang yang lebih holistik dalam profession perancangan bandar dan wilayah.
