Managing urbanisation and urban sprawl in Malaysia by using remote sensing and GIS applications

In the global era, more than half of the world population live in urban area. With rapid urbanisation growth where the highest percentage concentrates in Asia, a relevant approach is needed to eliminate the possible threat that occurs after urbanisation took place; the urban sprawl. Urban sprawl...

Urban sprawl is a popular term in academic discourse and has a long history but until these days, the concrete definition of this term is not yet configured.

The findings show that Kuala Lumpur is a sprawling city.
