| Summary: | This paper examines the current administrative structure that deals with informal
fishing villages in Selangor aiming to identify the governance issues of these
communities from the local-, district-, state- and federal-level perspectives. Data
collection techniques employed were field observations conducted through site
visits, in-depth interviews with the state and local planning officials, and focus
group discussions involving chairpersons of the Village Development and
Security Committees (VDSC). The analysis reveals a sizable number of entities
involved in the governance and management of these fishing communities at all
levels and accordingly, concludes by outlining a more strategic administrative
structure that could effectively govern informal fishing villages that is applicable
to Selangor and beyond. |
