FACTORS THAT AFFECT SPATIAL DATA SHARING IN MALAYSIA (JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING)

FACTORS THAT AFFECT SPATIAL DATA SHARING IN MALAYSIA (JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING)

I am sharing with you our most recent article in the ISPRS journal. The uniqueness of the research pertains to new aspects, such as the observation of new mixed methods and factors, which leads to the sharing and analysis of spatial data. The infrastructure of spatial data or geospatial data infrastructure is an initiative that intends to establish a framework for collaboration and communication among all stakeholders. Under the Malaysian concept of integrated data development, Kuala Lumpur is among the regional governments responding to this national drive for local SDI. In examining the effects of local governments on SDI, numerous and intricate factors, such as organizations, politics, power, systems, standards, funding, individual traits, and communications, were evaluated. This study determined the elements that influence geographical data-sharing practices.

This research was published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information. It is a Q1 journal that is indexed by ISI. Please feel free to read it at https://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/11/8/446/pdf?version=1660189261

AUGUST RESEARCH PROGRESS MEETING

AUGUST RESEARCH PROGRESS MEETING

On the 17th of July 2022, the 3D GIS Research Lab held its monthly progress meeting. The students demonstrated the progress they had made in their research over the preceding month throughout the productive meeting. This time, we combined the discussion with student presentations at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Later, these students can communicate with one another and obtain an idea of how the study is conducted on various levels. I want to thank these students for their great performance on their individual research projects.

Title: Individual Mobility Pattern in Malaysia During COVID-19 Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) Partial Lockdown

Journal: Geo: Geography and Environment 

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/geo2.113

Our journal paper was 100% created during the UTM Work From Home (WFH) policy in the year 2021 pandemic. From social media instagram geo-data mining, geo-coding, geo-modelling, geo-analytics, official data correlation and writing, everything was done at home. The Geo: Geography and Environment journal is a Q2 journal with an impact of 12 and located in UK (Wiley Publisher). 

Using the new approach we created in GISc, the findings show that when the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) is implemented in Malaysia, the focus areas of Malaysians show uniform and consistent spatial pattern trajectories throughout the country. It is then supported by official data from the Ministry of Health Malaysia with an increase in cases of COVID-19 cases in the hotspot areas identified in this study.

What is unfortunate is that the findings of this study cannot be shared in advance for public use because the evaluation process by the reviewers of this international journal takes some time. However, we understand this enables the expert reviewers to evaluate the new proposed techniques, data, and writing to meet the world standards.

Hopefully, the new GISc techniques introduced in this journal can be used for future reference. Data mining from social media can provide insights into the findings of scientific studies.

P.S: This research is unrelated to the field of 3D GIS. But it shows how our new technique in GIS (2D) can help in predicting COVID-19 hotspots. Please don’t hesitate to read the paper and share it to your acquaintance and students. Thanks!

UTM METAVERSE

Throwback [24 May 2022] – First initial meeting call for UTM Metaverse project. It is a brainstorming session in bringing UTM to a new niche area which is developing metaverse for UTM.

I was able to give an idea on how to incorporate metaverse in the university. Among the advantages of creating a metaverse in the university are; students can socialize virtually, this includes going to lectures, sports, tadarus, and so on. Its a new concept (future new norm), which can be tested in the university.
