Mangrove is a valuable ecological and economic resource. However, mangrove is repeatedly being threatened by many ideas such as reclamation including aquaculture, agriculture or development projects. Similar trend is happening in Malaysia that the annual mangrove loss in some major state in Peninsular Malaysia is about 1,282 ha or about 1% a year since 1990. The actual scenario of mangrove ecosystem...
Using mangroves as a potential coastal bioshield has been intensively studied and tested in the past 10 years. Without a doubt, these studies suggest mangroves are able to attenuate waves thus make it perfect bioshield against tsunami, storm surges, erosion and other coastal disaster. This paper synthesis state of mangroves forests in Peninsular Malaysia towards the realisation of adopting mangrove...
Conventionally small area topographic detail plan is produced using land survey techniques. Various method of modern topographical detail plan however required more cost to speed up the data acquisition process for large data and high accuracy. The recent development in commercial grade Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has the potential to be used as a data capture equipment with low cost. In this study,...
Shoreline, which is also known as coastline is the boundary between land and sea keeps changing its shape and position continuously due to dynamic environmental condition. This change is mainly associated with waves, tides, winds, periodic storms, sea level change, and the geomorphic processes of erosion and accretion and human activities. This paper describes the use of Remote Sensing data in monitoring...
Car navigation system (CNS) has become one of the popular accessories among driver in Malaysia.

The development of automobile navigation system a.k.a car navigation system (CNS) in Malaysia is limited to the development of the basemap only. Until this year (2011), all CNS devices are imported. This paper concentrates on investigation on classification of prohibited manoeuvre in Malaysia to serve as a guideline for CNS map provider in Malaysia. Sanyo CNS unit with a 2007 Klang Valley basemap...
Rapid development in automobile navigation system in Malaysia for the last decade were very much influenced by the growth of its intelligent automation mapping solutions. Then car navigation unit equipped with Malaysia maps can only be bought in Singapore but today users can buy Tokyo automobile navigation maps even in Malaysia. These are patterns showing that Malaysian drivers are relying more on...
