| description |
Environment forms the basis upon which all human activities such as physical, social and economic
take place. Malaysia is a nation that is blessed with the beauty of nature and at the same time advanced in
terms of infrastructural development. Environmental resources are vital components of the environment
that include land, vegetal resource, water bodies, atmosphere, flora and fauna. Nowadays, due to high rate
of urbanization, rapid population and economic growth led to greater need of space for operation, which
subsequently forced the construction industries to meet this demand. This gives rise to various forms of
environmental degradations which lead to disruption of environmental equilibrium. The study assesses the
effects of construction industries on the environment in the perspectives of land use planning. However, if
proper measures are not taken, the consequences will never be of benefit to the country. Land use
planning is an approach used to identify the relationship between construction activities and
environmental resources. Generally, the study area covers Peninsula Malaysia because of the similarities
of construction conditions and the environmental effects. The methodology employed in this study is
based on the available data derived from the secondary sources of information. It also aims at suggesting
ways of achieving sustainable construction activities so that our natural earth will not be harmed,
destroyed or degraded. |
