application of system dynamics model as decision making tool in urban Planning Process toward stabilizing carbon dioxide emissions from cities
Building and Environment, 2009Co-Authors: Weekean Fong, Hiroshi Matsumoto, Yu Fat LunAbstract:In spite of the fact that cities are the main sources of CO2 emissions, presently there are still no specific measures directly addressing the global warming issue in the urban Planning Process in Malaysia. The present study thus aims to shed new light in the urban Planning sector in Malaysia by adopting System Dynamics Model as one of the decision making tools in the urban Planning Process, with specific considerations on the future CO2 emission trends. This paper presented projections of future CO2 emission trends based on the case of Iskandar Development Region of Malaysia, under various options of urban policies, using the System Dynamics Model. The projections demonstrated the capability of the said model in serving as a decision making tool in the urban Planning Process, with specific reference to CO2 emissions from cities. Recommendations have been made on the possible approach of adopting the model in the Process of Structure Plan study. If the current model was successfully adopted in the urban Planning Process in Malaysia, it will mark the first step for Malaysia in taking specific considerations on the issues of CO2 emissions and global warming in the urban Planning Process.

energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission considerations in the urban Planning Process in malaysia
PLANNING MALAYSIA JOURNAL, 2008Co-Authors: Weekean Fong, Hiroshi Matsumoto, Yu Fat LunAbstract:In handling global wanning issues, among the most important measures are to reduce energy consumptions and carbon dioxide emissions. While many countries have recognized the importance of the role of urban Planning in energy conservation and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, spatial Planning framework in Malaysia is still lacking in this aspect. Although there are some spatial Planning policies indirectly favoring energy conservation, there is still no measure that directly emphasizes on promoting energy conservation and capping carbon dioxide emissions. Energy and carbon dioxide issues should thus be taken as one of the core parts in the urban Planning Process. It is necessary to develop and incorporate a decision making tool to assess the overall impact of development plans on energy consumptions and carbon dioxide emissions. While achieving the desired economic and social developments, it is necessary to create a low energy-consuming, carbon dioxide-emitting sustainable society.

performance implications of incorporating natural environmental issues into the strategic Planning Process an empirical assessment
Journal of Management Studies, 1998Co-Authors: William Q Judge, Thomas J DouglasAbstract:This paper explores the ability of firms to integrate a critical strategic issue, the natural environment, into the strategic Planning Process within the natural resource-based perspective. Using survey data collected from a wide variety of firms and industries based in the United States, we empirically examined the antecedents and effects of integrating the natural environment into the formal Planning Process. These data were analysed using structural equation modelling with the LISREL technique. Overall, our data provided strong support for the hypothesized relationships. Specifically, we found that the level of integration of environmental management concerns in the strategic Planning Process was positively related to financial and environmental performance. Furthermore, we found that the greater the functional coverage and the more resources provided to environmental issues, the greater the integration of environmental issues in the Planning Process. These results suggest that concern for environmental issues may yield competitive advantages in the marketplace as the natural resource-based perspective suggests

the transport Planning Process for minimum available related data a case study palestinian self rule areas
Transport Reviews, 2001Co-Authors: Faisal AwadallahAbstract:This paper evaluates not only the traditional transport Planning Process approach, especially its usefulness for urban areas in underdeveloped regions, but also transport Planning experiences in underdeveloped countries. Guidelines for a flexible and a systematic transport Planning Process are developed for areas with minimum relevant data, the Palestinian self-rule areas being used as a case study to demonstrate evidence for the proposed model.
