Kajian ini dijalankan untuk menganalisis perubahan guna tanah kampus Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Bangi dan Bandar Baru Bangi bagi tahun 1990 dan 2016. Pendekatan penderiaan jauh digunakan sebagai aplikasi utama untuk meneliti tahap perubahan guna tanah yang berlaku. Data imej satelit Landsat 5 TM dan Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS telah digunakan dalam kajian ini. Proses klasifikasi berselia diaplikasikan bagi mengelaskan jenis guna tanah di kawasan kajian berdasarkan imej Landsat yang terpilih. Guna tanah telah dibahagikan kepada tujuh kategori iaitu tepu bina, kelapa sawit, hutan, getah, rekreasi, tanah lapang dan badan air. Penilaian ketepatan dilakukan menggunakan pengiraan Koeffisein Kappa bagi menguji kebolehpercayaan data yang telah diklasifikasikan. Nilai Koeffisein Kappa yang diperolehi adalah 70% iaitu kebolehpercayaan data adalah tinggi. Hasil kajian mendapati guna tanah yang mengalami peningkatan tertinggi adalah guna tanah tepu bina (2130.84 hektar), diikuti oleh guna tanah hutan (469.44 hektar). Masing-masing mencapai peningkatan sebanyak 32.92% dan 7.25%. Manakala guna tanah yang mengalami penurunan tertinggi adalah kelapa sawit (1385.01 hektar) dan diikuti guna tanah badan air (124.38 hektar). Masing-masing merosot sebanyak 21.40% dan 1.92%.

This study was conducted to analyze the changes in land use of UKM Bangi campus and Bandar Baru Bangi for 1990 and 2016. The remote sensing and GIS application were used to examine the land use changes. Data used in this study consist of two Landsat satellite imagery, which were taken from Landsat 5 TM (1990), and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS (2016). Based on selected Landsat images the supervised classification process was applied to classify the land use types of the study area. Land uses have been divided into seven categories; built-up area, palm oil, forest, rubber, recreational, cleared land and water bodies. Accuracy assessment was carried out by using Kappa Koefficient calculation to test the reliability of the thematic maps. The Kappa Koefficient value of 70% was achieved and it indicates high reliability. The result of the study found that built-up area increased the most (2130.84 ha), followed by the forest (469.44 ha). Both land use increased by 32.92% and 7.25% respectively.

Kesan penghijrahan ini membawa kepada penumpuan bekas banduan yang ramai di suatu tempat yang sama. Kajian yang dilakukan ini telah mendapati berlakunya penumpuan bekas banduan di sekitar Jalan Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. Situasi yang berlaku ini amat membimbangkan apabila pengaruh jenayah boleh berlaku secara berterusan. Penumpuan rakan senasib akan mengalakkan aktiviti jenayah dan pengulangan jenayah lama seperti mencuri, merompak, meragut, mengambil dadah dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, sistem keadilan jenayah di Malaysia akan sering menemui kegagalan dalam memulihkan bekas banduan. Bekas banduan akan tetap kembali kepada sikap dan tingkah laku yang sama akibat jenis pergaulan yang dipilih. Temu bual mendalam telah dilakukan ke atas 16 orang bekas banduan yang mempunyai masalah ketagihan dadah tanpa mengira jenis kesalahan lepas. Analisis kajian telah memperlihatkan kecenderungan bekas banduan untuk berhijrah dari tempat asal dan rumah keluarga akibat daripada penolakan keluarga dan juga stigma yang wujud di tempat asal mereka. Dapatan kajian ini berupaya membekalkan maklumat dalam membuktikan punca penghijrahan bekas banduan di suatu tempat yang sama iaitu dalam kajian ini ialah di sekitar Jalan Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur.

Kata kunci : bekas banduan, faktor penarik, faktor penolak, jenayah, penghijrahan, penumpuan The migration of former prisoners from their place of origin to a new area is due to various reasons of rejection in the origin place. The effect of this migration lead to a convergence of many former prisoners to the same place. In this study, the occurrence of convergence of former prisoners can be seen around Jalan Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. This situation is very alarming due to exposure to the influence of crime on a continuous basis. The convergence of ex-convict friends will encourage criminal activity and repetition of old crimes such as stealing, robbing, snatching, taking drugs and other illegal activities. Therefore, the criminal justice system in Malaysia will often fail to rehabilitate the former prisoners. The former prisoners will still return to their old habits and behaviours due to the type of association he chooses. In-depth interviews were conducted on 16 former prisoners who had drug addiction problems regardless of the type of past offence. Preliminary analysis of the study indicates a tendency to migrate from family home as a result of family rejection and stigma that exists in their places of origin.

Kajian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk meneroka strategi daya tindak yang digunakan oleh ahli keluarga yang bertindak sebagai penjaga kepada ahli keluarga mereka yang mengidap penyakit mental. Seramai lima belas (15) orang responden iaitu penjaga yang menjaga ahli keluarga mereka di negeri Perlis telah ditemubual dan mengambil bahagian dalam kajian ini secara sukarela. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa penjaga keluarga pesakit mental telah menggunakan beberapa strategi daya tindak bagi menjaga ahli keluarga mereka yang mengidap penyakit mental seperti pendekatan keagamaan, mendapatkan sokongan emosi, bersabar dan melibatkan diri dalam aktiviti riadah. Kajian ini mencadangkan agar penjaga keluarga melibatkan diri dalam kumpulan sokong bantu bagi membolehkan mereka untuk mendapatkan sokongan emosi dan maklumat yang diperlukan daripada penjaga lain yang mempunyai pengalaman yang sama dalam memberikan penjagaan terhadap pesakit mental. Selain itu, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia juga perlulah berupaya untuk menyediakan latihan yang bersesuaian kepada semua penjaga yang memberi penjagaan terhadap ahli keluarga mereka yang mengidap penyakit mental.

In every political setting, there are financiers of politicians for elective positions and the financed ones. In Nigeria, the phenomenon of godfatherism denotes multi-billionaires sponsoring anointed candidates for elections at all levels in return for favours and undue advantage towards the sponsors. This is a problem which impedes the emergence of popular and credible candidates who can deliver the dividends of democracy. The work examined the role played by godfathers in sponsoring politicians during the 2015 General Elections including the nature and dimension of the financing as well as its effects on the outcome of elections. The paper used a qualitative method of data collection and analysis where interview was conducted with some selected informants from various categories involving politicians, party stakeholders, academicians and focus group discussion with some selected electorates. The primary data obtained was analysed using qualitative method with existing secondary data on the subject of study. The study discovered that, godfatherism played a vital role in determining candidates for the major parties and that, a new dimension in godfatherism emerged where politicians who control power now transformed into financiers of their elections unlike before. The study recommends that, for a better selection of candidates and transparency in fielding contestants for elections, party primary elections should be transparent and INEC as the electoral body responsible for election conduct in Nigeria should intensify measures of checkmating money politics and fostering of candidates selection based on party principles and not anointment.

Sejajar dengan pembangunan ekonomi, kerajaan telah memperkenalkan pelbagai insentif untuk menaiktaraf kualiti hidup rakyat khususnya bagi penduduk yang berpendapatan rendah. Bagi mengatasi isu miskin bandar yang kian meningkat, kerajaan telah memperkenalkan konsep 1Malaysia yang merangkumi pelbagai aspek pembangunan khususnya dalam bidang ekonomi dan sosial. Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengenalpasti implikasi dan faedah insentif 1Malaysia yang diberikan oleh kerajaan kepada kelompok masyarakat yang berpendapatan rendah. Kajian ini dilaksanakan di empat buah kawasan Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) iaitu  PPR Laksamana, PPR Kerinchi, PPR Intan Baiduri, dan PPR Sungai Bonus. Setiap  PPR akan diwakili  10 peratus daripada jumlah penduduk iaitu 35 orang bagi PPR Laksamana, 160 orang penduduk dari PPR Kerinchi, 100 orang PPR Intan Baiduri dan 30 orang penduduk daripada PPR Sungai Bonus. Hasil kajian mendapati kebanyakan penduduk menyokong insentif 1Malaysia yang diperkenalkan oleh pihak kerajaan dari segi kemudahan kesihatan, pendidikan, ekonomi dan sosial. Ini bermakna rata-rata pengguna berpuas hati dengan insentif yang diberikan kerana ia dikatakan dapat meringankan beban perbelanjaan yang ditanggung atas faktor kos sara hidup yang semakin meningkat.

Urban population growth and reduction of water reserved in Selangor has allowed the government to promote the rainwater harvesting system as an alternative resource among consumers. This paper attempts to examine rainwater harvesting system at the experimental site of Bandar Baru Bangi, based on several episodes of rain variations recorded from December 2014 to April 2015. The observation data being used to identify the relationship between the local rainfall and the potential volume variation of the harvested water. The experimental results revealed that the harvested volume varies, from the lowest value of 0.018 m 3 to the highest of 2.722 m 3 . The relationship between harvested volume and the depth of rainfall produced significant R 2 value (R 2 = 89%). The study also proved that the volume of storage tank (1000 litres) at the experimental site is suitable with rainwater harvesting variation.
