FOREWORD

A warm welcome to all participants of the 1st International Conference on Green
Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD 2019) held on 23 October at Blue
Wave Hotel, Shah Alam, Selangor. It is an exciting time for proponents of green
technology as events such as this provides a tremendous opportunity to collaborate
and expand the frontiers of knowledge towards advancing Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs).

At Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) we strongly support the development, adoption
and adaptation in science, technology and innovation to make a greener future a very
real possibility. As we head towards creating a more sustainable campus, it is
undeniable that green technologies play a central role to manage various
developmental challenges we face in achieving the SDGs. Hence, the GTSD
Conference provides a platform for a discussion and sharing of ideas between the
Community of Research (CoRe) in UiTM and representatives from the industry and
other institutions of higher learning to address issues, which include green
technologies, green mechanisms, environmental and social health, built
environment, as well as sustainability.

Congratulations to the Conference Chair, Associate Professor Datin Dr Arnis Asmat
and her team in organising this year’s conference. It is my wish that GTSD 2019 will
generate a robust discourse committed to practical and cost effective solutions on
the theme “Building Green Capacity for Sustainable Future”. I hope to see increasingly
high standards in university-led research that is matched with real progress beyond
this conference.

To participants of GTSD 2019, I trust that you will continuously seek to catalyse new
ideas and showcase the innovation efforts you have worked on. I look forward to your
contributions in making a positive change and reducing our carbon footprints.

Thank you.

*corresponding author: [email protected]

ABSTRACT

This study aims to identify the determinants of key forces in the external and
internal environment of event management in order to propose a sustainable
environment analysis framework that will help organizers to improve the
sustainability of the strategy formulation. The proposed framework incorporates
sustainability practices, previous research on sustainable event management,
existing strategies of sustainable strategic management, and the results from this
study. This framework has adopted PEST Analysis in external environment
analysis and Mckinsey 7s Framework in internal environment analysis to identify
sustainable-related determinants of key forces in order to propose common
sustainable practices to get common acceptance for sustainability. The identified
determinants were applied in the proposed framework to guide event organizer
when identifying key forces of external and internal environment which can have
the influence to achieve sustainability in the event. On top of this, SWOT Analysis
was adopted to help event organizers to identify the opportunities and threat in
the external environment and understand the strengths and weakness of the
organization in order to formulate effective sustainable strategies and move their
events toward sustainability.

ABSTRACT
The Tree Vandalism Model (TVM) was developed to assist decision-makers and
tree managers to quantify the status of tree vandalism incidence in the urban
area. The model quantifies tree vandalism incident influenced by the
shortcoming of tree conditions, tree vandalism incident derived from human
error and tree vandalism incident due to lack of urban tree concern; which that
interpret a numbers of tree vandalism throughout the area; the tree vandalism
composite index value throughout the area; and a tree vandalism classification.

ABSTRACT

United Nation Development Program agenda 2030 has charted out the
seventeen Sustainable Development Goals where Malaysia as a member has
strategically set the platform to grow. From the seventeen agendas, the SDG 9
(built resilient, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster
innovation) and SDG 11 (make cities and human settlements inclusive, resilient
and sustainable) requires a paradigm shift from conventional engineering
approach on environments induced disaster. Leveraging multidisciplinary ability
and ICT in the landslide disaster studies had enabled regional-scale information
acquirement for hazards identification, exposure and risk assessment to meet the
goals. This paper shall present and elaborate on the method and success of the
study.

ABSTRACT
Predictability of extreme weather is a grand challenge for numerical weather
forecast. The capability of geostationary satellites to observe infrared radiances
has been significantly improved. The application of Artificial Intelligent (AI) and
data science technologies has bridging the gap between numerical model
prediction and real-time observation. The study identified near-real time
convective cloud using Himawari-8 satellite imagery for 10-minutes interval. The
pattern of potential cloud areas was extracted and trained by using machine
learning approach. The heavy rainfall potential areas also known as deep
convective cloud was classified based on color and density of the cloud images
using threshold method. The frequent infrared observations from Himawari‐8
improved the analysis and forecast of convective cells and local heavy rainfall.
The results imply that satellite data assimilation can contribute to better
forecasting extreme weather events in smaller spatiotemporal scales. The used
of machine learning in retrieving information from new generation geostationary
satellites has improved on convective cloud prediction for weather forecast.

ABSTRACT

Study of precipitation response under changing climate are of interest due to
large impact on society. Extreme precipitation is expected to intensify in warmer
climates due to increase in moisture in atmosphere; at approximately 7% per
degree of warming according to Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) relationship. However,
recent studies in tropical regions show that precipitation response to
temperature does not necessarily follow the relationship. In this study, the 99th
percentile daily rainfall depths response to mean surface air temperature in
Peninsular Malaysia from the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) data
sets and SA-OBS gridded data were investigated using fixed temperature interval
binning method. Findings revealed that daily extreme rainfall intensity
decreasing with temperature, with scaling lower than -7% per degree of warming
were observed at all stations, in contrast of CC relation. Other factors such as the

ABSTRACT
Geostationary meteorology satellite is a remote sensing system that provides rainfall
estimation at high spatial and temporal resolutions by cloud brightness temperature
which useful for many applications in meteorology, climate change, disaster management
studies and etc. The detection cloud brightness temperature of convective is very
important because that bring heavy rainfall that typically cause severe socio-economic
damage. This study examined the infrared bands (IR) from Himawari-8 for rainfall
estimation which aimed to determine and analyze the relationship between the cloud top
brightness temperature from Himawari-8 satellite IR1 data. The study was conducted
during the period of heavy rainfall recorded in year 2017. The rainfall estimation has been
analyzed for four types of rainfall events threshold, namely low (<10mm/hr), moderate
(>11mm/hr, <30mm/hr), heavy (>30mm/hr) and very heavy rainfall (>61 mm). The auto-
estimator algorithm using satellite infrared (IR1) channel data band 13 (10.4 µm)
respectively, for estimated rainfall rate. The results have shown that lower cloud
brightness temperature have strong correlation in producing heavy rainfall. The study
concluded that rainfall estimation can be determined using the cloud top brightness
temperature values during extreme rainfall events.

ABSTRACT
The issue to combat carbon emission emerges when the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), an international
environmental treaty aimed to tackle the problem of global warming. Thirty-
seven (37) industrialized countries have committed to cut greenhouse gases by
5.2% over a period of 2008-2012. However, understanding the needs of
developing countries and their commitment towards social and economic
development goals, UNFCCC has somehow adopted a principle of “common but
differentiated responsibilities.” Since economic activities are essentially linked to
economic growth, which is much needed in these nations, the parties allow them
to grow to meet their ends. But this does not mean the countries should not be
responsible for their actions. Henceforth, their signatory to the Kyoto Protocol
has also demanded them to put effort to cut carbon emissions. This study
employed a dynamic panel data model based on the Arellano and Bond
Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique to investigate the impact of
the Kyoto Protocol and four institutional factors political stability, property rights,
corruption and freedom of trade on per capita CO2 emissions. It is found that
three determinants Kyoto Commitment, Kyoto Clean Development Mechanism
and freedom of trade have negative significant effect on CO2 emissions.

ABSTRACT

Solar energy plays a vital role in our daily life. Apart from providing thermal
energy, it can also be used for power generation. Speaking of which, Solar
Photovoltaic (PV) is a well-known solar technology that is used to convert from
solar energy to electrical energy. Nevertheless, Solar PV efficiency drops as the
solar PV panel temperature increases. Another way to generate electricity is to
use a solar technology called Solar Thermoelectric Generator (STEG). STEG is a
hybrid technology between solar thermal collector and Thermoelectric
Generator (TEG). Because of this, it can produce thermal and electrical energy
simultaneously. In this study, a theoretical model was developed as a purpose of
prediction on the STEG output and performance. In order to determine whether
the theoretical model is accurate enough for the prediction, a comparison was
carried out between the theoretical and experimental data. Based on the result,
the comparison provides a good correlation between the former and the latter
and the highest error obtained is less than 20%.

ABSTRACT
A 20 x 26 x 18mm mini thermoelectric Peltier cooler was designed and built in
this study. The Peltier thermoelectric cell was sandwiched between an external
and internal heat sinks that acted to remove heat from the cooler box. When the
Peltier thermoelectric cell connected to an external power source, the Peltier
effect caused the heat from the refrigerator internal space to be conducted and
removed to the ambient. The experimental data from this study were used to
validate the theoretical thermal resistance model. It was found that the Peltier
cooler was able to produce COP higher than 0.5 which the output was quite high
compared to previous studies. This cooler was able to lower cooler box
temperature down to 18.5 °C from the ambient temperature by removing 25W
of heat. In the future, the validated theoretical model could be used to estimate
the suitable design parameter such as the type of heat sinks, the size of the
cooler, the cooling temperature and the cooler performance including the
coefficient of performance (COP).

Ha, received the water from Progo through Sapon intake. In order to fulfil the
water requirement for Sapon irrigation area according to the demand of water
debit based on the water needs of System Planning (August - Jul planting pattern)
and Alternative water supply (Oct - Sep), it is necessary to operate the technique
on the door Sapon intake by re-analysing the Sapon intake water gate in terms of
hydraulics. The method used was field observation by conducting interviews and
hydraulic analysis water gate by analysing water door height (ha). From the
analysis, the results shown that 1 until 3 doors opening more efficient to get the
water requirement the intake operational system based on the water demand
system planning (planting pattern August - Jul) to be more efficient, 4-door
openings are not necessary because 1, 2 and 3-door openings meet the
requirements for operational intake doors with high door openings <h (height of
intake holes). Operation of intake doors based on the water demand system
planning (August - Jul planting pattern) is more efficient than the intake door
operation based on alternative water demand (Oct - Sep). From the results of the
analysis can be concluded that Sapon intake capable of flowing water in

ABSTRACT

Marine biofouling, the unwanted accumulation of living organisms on man-
made structures is worsening every year. Biofouling in marine environment
usually occurs in any wetted surface, submerged for a period of time in the
seawater. This phenomenon happens in few stages started with conditioning
and followed by attachment and colonization. Marine biofouling is a highly cost
problem which requires unnecessary waste of financial source especially in fuel
consumption and production time as well as safety problems. The currently
used antibiofouling paint is reported to be highly toxic and threatening the
marine organisms. The most commonly used antibiofouling agents are biocide-
based such as the tributyl-n-tin (TBT), Sea Nine 211, Irgarol 1051, Diuron and
the copper-based. The well-developed coating companies such as Hempel USA,
SeaCoat Technology, Nippon Paint and many more has started their
involvement in making the earths greener by introducing the non-biocide
coating that is claimed to be as good as the biocide based antibiofouling
coatings. Although the paints did not clearly state the antibiofouling agents
used to replace biocide, the paints introduced are however, still has its own
drawbacks. Further study on development of sustainable antibiofouling coating
is crucial. This paper intended to review available green and sustainable
antifouling compound used as paint or coating. The effectiveness and toxicity
of the antifoulant will be critically reviewed.

ABSTRACT,

The decrement in the fossil fuels reserved triggers the need to look for the alternative
source of energy. One of the renewable sources of energy that could be considered to
substitute traditional fossil fuels is biodiesel. In this study, biodiesel was synthesized from
waste cooking oil through transesterification with CaO derived from egg shell as catalyst.
The chicken egg shell was treated by washing, drying and grinding. The process proceeded
with calcination in a furnace at a temperature of 900°C for 3 hours with flow rate of
10°C/min. The egg shell was completely converted into CaO catalyst, proved by the
characterisation with XRD. Analysis of BET revealed that the catalyst is mesopores with
surface area of 1.1152 m2/g with average pore diameter of 78.2 nm. CO2-TPD analysis
revealed that CaO catalyst has strong basic active site with basic amount of 630 μmolg-
1.SEM images show that the morphology of the catalyst is more regular and the size of
particles decreased compared with the chicken egg shell before calcined. Result showed
that the percentage of FFA less than 1% which is 0.4%, then proceeded with
transesterification reaction. The effect of catalyst loading, methanol/oil molar ratio,
temperature and time of reaction were investigated by transesterification of waste
cooking oil to biodiesel at constant temperature of 65 °C for 2 hours of reaction time with
stirring rate of 400 rpm. The result obtained in this study showed that 2.0 wt.% of catalyst,
15:1 of methanol/oil molar ratio, temperature of 65℃ and 5 hours reaction time are the
optimum parameter with 80% of biodiesel yield. This study revealed that CaO derived
from chicken egg shell has good catalytic activity in transesterification of waste cooking
oil into FAME.

ABSTRACT
Quality of life (QoL) can be incorporated into the ideas of expectation and
satisfaction, which covers physical, social and health aspects. Participation in
leisure or recreation activities is considered by many researchers as an essential
component of an individual’s sense of QoL. A study had been carried out in
Temerloh town to study the QoL impact of the recreation parks. As a result, the
study found that respondents were having lower “satisfaction” scores as
compared to the scores for “expectation” on average. Furthermore, the study
also found that the satisfaction of respondents on physical aspects was positively
and significantly correlated to the social aspects of QoL. Thus, recreation parks
were potentially impacting the QoL of respondents who used the parks. It is
suggested that recreational parks should be improved especially the physical
aspects, i.e. safety and physical facilities for the purpose to increase the QoL of
the users.

ABSTRACT

Due to the rapid development in computer hardware and numerical modeling, the use of
CFD as a research tool has been adopted successfully in many ways to predict the
turbulent flow nature and pollutant dispersion properties in urban environment. Apart
from the advance advantages offer by this method, some problems can be arising on
respect to accurate prediction of data and uncertainties of assumption that are made in
numerical modeling. Therefore, validation and generic sensitivity analyses are important
to provide guidance for the execution and evaluation of the CFD studies. This study
performs a series of Large-Eddy Simulations (LESs) to investigate the flow field within and
above a two-dimensional idealized street canyon. Simulations were conducted for various
domain sizes with a unity aspect ratio i.e. street width to building height ratio. Three
computational domains were 2H x 1H x 6H (streamwise (x), spanwise (y) and vertical (z)
directions), 6H x1H x6H and 10H x 1H x 6H define as Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 respectively.
The results were validated against experimental data obtained in wind tunnel studies. The
mean velocities for each run cases estimated by LES are in good agreement with those
obtained by wind-tunnel experiments. However, profiles of the Reynold shear stress as
well as standard deviation for the streamwise and vertical velocity components show
large discrepancies at all measured locations for each cases at building height. Apparently,
it was indicating that increasing the domain size does not fully rectify the under predicted
turbulent statics in the street canyons. This is most likely due to coherent structures that
have developed above a canyon cannot properly simulated in a small domain size as
designated without any consideration of other compromise parameters such as grid
resolution.

ABSTRACT

The Blue lane is a City Hall of Kuala Lumpur’s green initiative has been built in the
capital of Malaysia. It is a pledge to reduce the carbon emission in KL by 70 per
cent approaching 2030. However, it seems dysfunctional cycling infrastructure
provision. Therefore, the study intends to evaluate the route choice preference
and social-demographic of resident for Malaysian residential bikeway design. The
study has underpinned by an Ecological Model of Active Living (EMAL) and the
Theory of Routine Mode Choice Decision (TRMCD). The study has applied an
online survey to the City of Elmina’s residential association. A total of 242
respondents participated within August until October 2018. Eventually, a
gathered data has analysed by using IBM SPSS version 23 and Smart PLS 3.2.6 to
determine the statistically significant evidence. The study indicated that cycling
is dominated by male, adult, Malay and high middle-income category.
Consequently, the bikeway design should prioritise five major aspects such as
security aspect, dedicated space, proximate, greenery and pavement types that
preferred by residents. Eventually, it is hoped that the process is useful for
Malaysia planner, urban designer, developer and local authority in designing
Malaysian residential bikeway to remedy environmental disorder burden.

ABSTRACT

The rapid growth of population in urban areas resulted in a higher amount of
waste generated yearly. An increase in population means an increase in the
number of residential areas in an urban area. According to the Department of
Statistic Malaysia (DOSM), in 2018, the average household size in an urban area
is 3.85 persons. Malaysia, with a population of 32.4 million, 76% of the entire
population are living in urban areas (Department of Statistic, 2018). Therefore,
effective management of urban solid waste is paramount in fast-growing urban
areas. Urban residents, especially in a dense urban area, have been found living
in various types of residential areas such as high, medium and low-cost
residential areas. Mixed density housing scheme such as low and medium-cost
terrace including high rises housing especially low and medium cost flat is
commonly associated with poor quality of cleanliness resulted from lack of
facilities and attention from the responsible parties. This research aims to explore
and evaluate the perspectives of governance in waste management processes
and practices for urban residents; in particular, the residents lived in mixed
density housing scheme. A survey was conducted on 30 respondents of mixed
density housing scheme in Section 7, Shah Alam, Selangor. Two (2) key variables
were put forward based on the content analysis, namely governance and socio-
economic well-being.

ABSTRACT

Substantial amount of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission
originates from the building sector which is responsible for 40% of the world’s
energy use. For buildings located in densely-built urban areas that have minimum
horizontal green spaces. This research is done for the case in Malaysia as
Malaysia have yet to emerge in vertical greenery implementation for buildings.
Studies have been conducted to determine the significances and barriers of
implementing vertical greenery in Malaysia as well as providing practical
approaches to increase the implementation of vertical greenery. Vertical
greenery is introduced to provide environmental, economic and social benefits.
For environmental issues, the temperature can de reduced and energy efficiency
can be improved. Economically, vertical greenery can assist in energy savings and
improve acoustic insulation. As for the social impacts, the presence of vertical
greenery provides pleasing and better environment for the community. With
these three aspects, sustainability can be achieved. The main barrier to the
implementation of vertical greenery is due to the high cost of construction. The
government should place more emphasis on implementing vertical greenery as
it is considered as a promising solution to bring significances.

ABSTRACT

The growth in energy consumptions in the building sector is expected to contribute
significantly to the country’s Green House Gases (GHG) emissions. In Malaysia, an
indicator called the Building Energy Index (BEI) is used to track the performance of
energy consumption. This index is classified into four categories: worst case, base
case, proposed standard case and good practice case building. However it does not
take into account the types of building according to its function. This research aims
to propose a model to predict the BEI for retail buildings in Malaysia with Shah Alam
city as the case study. The ‘retail’ classification is according to the building function
used by ENERGY STAR, an energy efficiency indicator used in the United States. The
retail buildings data on energy consumption was plotted against the net floor area of
the whole buildings and regressed linearly. The model was then compared with that
of Energy Use Intensity (EUI) from ENERGY STAR and an available building data in
Melaka city. Results showed that the Retail Building Energy Index of
238.8kWh/m²/year was obtained with satisfactory R2 value of 0.594. Although the
index fell into the worst case building scenario based on Malaysia guideline, it was in
a similar range with that of EUI. The result concludes the needs for further data in
other cities and BEI studies of the different building types in Malaysia.

ABSTRACT

One of the most fundamental human needs is a house. While urbanization occurs
tremendously in the cities of Malaysia, the middle-income groups living in the
urban areas are facing greater challenges in house ownership. The middle-
income households continuously experience issues of affordability, access to
finance and availability. This paper presents a study on the delivery system of
affordable housing. In this study, an assessment of affordable housing delivery
system was conducted by examining the urban middle-income group in relation
to the process of affordable housing provision. The study therefore aims at
examining the current affordable housing policies and delivery system, with the
focus on the middle-income group, which concentrates on assessing house
buyers’ experience and perception in relation to the practice of providing
affordable housing for the middle-income. Using a mixed-method approach, the
study employs a quantitative and a qualitative technique in conducting the study.
A case study approach was exercised by means of investigating the PR1MA
Corporation and SPNB as case studies. Results demonstrated that there are
many constraints in the delivery system from the qualitative analysis and the
respondents’ perspective. The experience by the house buyers can be useful for
authorities and other providers in the future development.

ABSTRACT

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 11) promotes sustainable cities and
communities in making cities much more inclusive, safe, resilient, and
sustainable. Landscape Architecture Agenda 2050 (LAA 4&5) also promotes
conducive living environment in urban area by enhancing best management
practice. One of the ways to achieve the intended goals by 2050, the green
infrastructure need to be highlighted. The concept of sustainable streetscape
design has become a crucial element in order to support the urban population in
Malaysia that is aimed to increase to 44 million by 2050 which is about 90% is
targeted to live in the cities. Realising the importance, the aim of this study is to
identify factors involved in enhancing sustainable roadside tree planting in
Malaysia through Tree Sensitive Urban Design (TSUD) theory. The analysis is done
through content analysis by reviewing literatures related to this study. The
relationship between current practices, issues, and proposed model are
incorporated in order to come up with factors and solutions that influenced
sustainable roadside tree planting in Malaysia. Both structural and non-structural
principles have been highlighted in this study which involved management and
policy consideration and tree management zones.

ABSTRACT

World has facing an increase of environmental concerns recently, especially regarding on
natural and synthetic fibers problems. Producing synthetic fibers may cost highly and may
face a few financial issues regarding on the production. Moreover, synthetic fiber has a lot
of disadvantages. They are non-biodegradable which expose a significant risk to the
environment and some of them may cause health related problems. Researchers have
aimed in finding replacement for synthetic fibers with reduced cost production and
renewable sources which has led to the development of biomaterials-based composites
production. Luffa is an eco-friendly crop, has been added as the new fibrous fruit with
short harvest period. This study applied practices using direct seeding and transplanting
methods for low cost luffa production that aimed for composites production. On the other
hand, this study showed that transplanting (TP) method is better than direct seeding (DS)
method based on the growth achievement. Transplanting (TP) method showed highest
average of plant height (cm) and average total dry weight (g) of luffa fruits with 74.42±0.68
and 91.08±2.26 respectively whereas lower growth yield performance showed by direct
seeding (DS) method in some observations. Other parameters observed are the number
of leaves and number of fruits which expected to be a competent sources to the current
composites sources. Hence, the results disclosed that luffa has the potential in low cost
and short harvest duration production.

ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to observe the potential of three Zingiberaceae essential oils
(Alpinia galanga, Curcuma longa, and Zingiber officinale) as a source for botanical pesticide
against the Conopomorpha cramerella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae). C. cramerella is the
most devastating pest of cocoa, Theobroma cacao (Linnaeus) (Malvales: Sterculiaceae) in
the Southeast Asia region. Bioassay on the C. cramerella eggs was performed using four
different concentrations of Zingiberaceae essential oils (EOs) at100 ppm, 200 ppm, 400 ppm,
and 800 ppm. Phytochemical screening shows that all three EOs has several volatile
components that might have an essential function as a part of botanical pesticide. A.
galanga performed as the best EOs that can disrupt egg hatchability (0.025b ± 0.158) and
significantly different (p<0.05) with control (2.367a ± 0.928). Regardless of disparate
treatment, the concentration of Zingiberaceae EOs at 800ppm able to influence the
penetration rate of pre-larva of C. cramerella on the cocoa pods. During large cage
observation, the mean of C. cramerella eggs was the highest at control (0.900a ± 1.029) and
significantly different (p<0.05) with C. longa (0.150b ± 0.483), A. galanga (0.050 b ± 0.221)
and Z. officinale (0.025 b ± 0.158). Higher concentration (400 and 800ppm) able to hinder C.
cramerella from depositing eggs after cocoa pods were treated with treatments. The results
obtained from laboratory and large cage observations denoted that Zingibereaceae has
potential in disrupting the life cycle of C. cramerella, by reducing the number of deposit eggs
and entry holes after cocoa pods were treated with treatments. The effect of Zingiberaceae
EOs towards the egg hatchability may provide a foundation for their potential in managing
C. cramerella in the future.
