Strategi pembangunan program homestay Kampung Kangkar Merlimau
Kampung Kangkar Merlimau pernah diwartakan sebagai kawasan Pelancongan Agro
sebelum ini oleh Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa Negeri Johor pada tahun
1993 (Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa, 2007). Pembangunan pelancongan
tersebut telah mendapat kerjasama dari Jabatan Pertanian untuk membantu komuniti
yang terlibat dalam menyediakan perkhidmatan inap desa (homestay). Walau
bagaimanapun, pada tahun 2005 Jabatan Pertanian telah menarik diri dari usaha sama
tersebut disebabkan pembangunan program homestay yang tidak menggalakkan.
Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti tahap kemahiran, pengetahuan, dan
penglibatan ketua, di samping mengenal pasti sama ada terdapat perbezaan tahap
kemahiran antara komuniti yang menjalani latihan dan tidak menjalani latihan
kemahiran, untuk membangunkan program homestay yang lepas di Kampung
Kangkar Merlimau. Kaedah persampelan yang digunakan ialah kaedah persampelan
bertujuan, iaitu keadaan di mana pengkaji memilih sampel berdasarkan pengalaman
dan pengetahuan tentang kumpulan yang akan dikaji sahaja. Jadi dalam kajian yang
dijalankan, sampel yang diambil berjumlah 81 orang penduduk yang pernah terlibat
dalam program homestay sahaja. Hasil kajian didapati skor min untuk tahap
kemahiran,pengetahuan, dan penglibatan ketua adalah 2.99, 3.04, dan 2.76, dan ini
menunjukkan bahawa ketiga-tiga tahap tersebut adalah sederhana. Melalui kajian ini
juga, didapati terdapat perbezaan signifikan tahap kemahiran komuniti yang
menjalani latihan dan tidak menjalani latihan kemahiran, kecuali untuk tahap
kemahiran komunikasi didapati tiada perbezaan yang signifikan. Oleh itu, kemahiran
dan pengetahuan komuniti serta penglibatan ketua dalam menjayakan program
homestay di Kampung Kangkar Merlimau ini perlu dipertingkatkan lagi

The effect of economic situation on construction business in Malaysia
Malaysian construction industry is one of the economic sector that contribute to Malaysian gross domestic product (GDP). Despite the contribution percentage of Malaysian construction industry to GDP averagely 3 to 5 percent of GDP, and the importance of construction industry is undeniable. In order to extend the knowledge of this economic sector, this research has been done in order to study the effect of economic situation on construction business in Malaysia. Selangor state was selected as a case study. This study used the construction value and changing behavior of construction participants that cause by challenges that exist in current economic situation as dependent variable. Multiple regression analysis has been used along with the Pearson correlation test in order to identify the correlation between variables gathered in this study. The overall result indicated that, the GDP per capita and domestic credit to private sector is significant in explaining Malaysian construction value with the correlation value at 0.828 and 0.006 accordingly. On the other hand, only material issue challenge is significant in explaining changing behavior of construction participants with correlation value is 0.441. Main contribution of this study is that in order to understand construction business, GDP per capita and domestic credit to private sector along material issue is the main factor that need to understand in order to integrate the knowledge of construction business with economic and construction participant’s behavior
Green Cement with Enhanced Mechanical Properties
In the midst of increasing awareness of global warming, geopolymer-based cement has been recognized as one of the feasible solutions in reducing the emission of contributed by oil well cementing. Nevertheless, it is important for the developed geopolymer cement to possess specific oil well requirement and durable in extreme condition in order to substitute the conventional Portland cement. The use of geopolymer in cement system was widely tested and claimed to be an ideal alternative. However, this new cement system needs comprehensive study to yield better advantages of it. In this research, the main objective was to evaluate the geopolymer cement performance in terms of mechanical properties under extreme wellbore condition, as well as rheological behaviour, density and filtration loss. This research utilized the combination of low calcium (ASTM class F) fly ash and silica fume as the main substitute materials varying in terms of mix proportion. The base case and five samples were cured at 120°C and at 4000 psi pressure to simulate wellbore condition. The results indicate a significant pattern in geopolymer cement strength development with increasing curing time ideally with 40% fly ash and 60% silica fume while standard cement degrades. The higher silica fume content provides early and greater strength attainment. Geopolymer cements lies in ideal plastic viscosity range with sample D (40% fly ash, 60% silica fume) exhibit comparable high yield point to standard G cement. The pattern in density measurement meanwhile shows that the incorporation of silica fume helps in producing lower density slurry. All geopolymer cements show better fluid loss properties. Overall, geopolymer cement exhibit significant strength development and better properties compared to conventional cement but special consideration must be made in elevated curing temperature
