This research centersaroundthe exploration of the applicability and transferability of some international/global sustainable transport indicators in an important city region in Malaysia, namely Klang Valley. The literature review highlights several important measures to identify, determine and select the relevant sustainable transportation indicators. Around 30 out of 1000 indicators were chosen to be tested in the different scenarios of public transportation in Malaysia. The research applied the snowball internet survey method, in addition, face-to-face, snail-mail, and electronic questionnaire. Samples were selected from a list of various professionals relevant to the field of transportation. They include transport planners, traffic engineers, public transport operators and managers, transportation economists, environmentalists, academician and researchers, as well as urban and regional planners. It is found that a number of indicators such as the percentage of bus passengerissuitable and relevant to Klang Valley. However, several other indicators are deemed less suitable to represent the measurement of sustainability of transportation in Klang Valley. Hence, it is suggested by the research that future selection of indicators should have a greater sensitivity to be more realistic with the country current situations, circumstances and fortune. Preliminary findings of the research are intended to be disseminated through another set of focus group discussion

This research highlights the urban-rural bus services passenger's satisfaction level in the selected settlements in Peninsular Malaysia. Johor is to represent the southern states while Penang is to represent the northern states. For eastern-coast states, Pahang is selected while Perak is to represent a still developing state, which is yet to reach the advanced level of large conurbations. The main objectives are to evaluate the bus service quality through passengers’ satisfaction survey. A total of 1130 survey questionnaire forms are collected. The result shows socio-demographic and trip characteristics influenced the satisfaction level and passengers’ expectation of future bus services improvements

Transportation implies the mobility of activities and goods from all sustainable development key dimensions. Over the past years, more trips of public transportation moves people towards a more sustainable future, by reduce congestion on the roads and increase the efficiency of the road system. The research aims at analysing the passenger's aspiration and perspective of sustainable public transport measure and focuses on the evaluation Malaysia rural bus services. Methods of On-board passenger survey and adoption of Geographical Information System (GIS) / Global Positioning System (GPS) used to collect the primary data

There is a growing evidence-based concerns pointing to global increase of weather and climate extreme events (WCEE). What decides whether these hazards become a disaster is how the society and humanity prepare and responds to it. Although various researchers have step up efforts through scholarly contributions in response to WCEE. However, the task of utilizing the needed tools, selecting the most suitable approach, and choosing appropriate techniques for WCEE studies can be daunting for researchers. Moreover, the technicality and complexity associated with the wide array of models and methods present additional challenges when it comes to their practical implementationF in disaster applications. This review comprehensively explores four approaches in WCEE studies: statistical analysis, geospatial modeling, MCDA, and AI-based techniques. It evaluates their effectiveness in assessing impacts within WCEE and highlights AI’s (ML and DL’s) superior performance compared to other conventional methods in disaster-related studies.

As cities face the challenges of climate change, small urban parks offer a promising solution for promoting urban resilience. These parks can mitigate the impacts of climate change by providing carbon sequestration, reducing the urban heat island effect, and improving stormwater management. They can also serve as a key adaptation strategy by providing shade and cooling, reducing air pollution, and enhancing social cohesion and community engagement. However, there is a need for criteria and indicators that can guide the design, implementation, and management of small urban parks for climate change mitigation and adaptation. This paper proposes a set of criteria and indicators that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of small urban parks in promoting urban resilience. The criteria include ecological, social, economic, governance dimensions, and the indicators are measurable, relevant, and practical. The proposed framework can support decision-making processes for planners, policymakers, and practitioners to prioritise and allocate resources for small urban parks that can contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation in cities.
