Nurturing the Roots of a Tree
In the midst of the arduous task of tending to the verdant stem and foliage, Let us not disregard the labyrinthine roots that lie in the earth’s ravine. They sustain the mass of the entire arboreal realm, Neglect them and they shall wither, perishing from within. Endow the roots with fresh, unblemished streams,And enrich them with the choicest manure, So they may sprout vigorous and towering, In concert with the comely leaves that lure. Though indiscernible to the naked eye, The roots are the underpinning of the tree, If abandoned, the entirety shall frail and die, Incapable of withstanding the

Akar Pohon
Dalam ketersibukan menjaga teras pohon dan dedaunan Janganlah kau lupa pada akar yang tersembunyi Ia yang menopang seluruh tubuh pohon Tanpa perawatan, ia akan terkubur dalam kelam Siramlah akar dengan air yang segar Bajalah dengan pupuk yang terbaik Biarlah ia tumbuh kuat dan gagah Seiring dengan dedaunan yang merimbun Karena meski tak terlihat oleh mata Akarlah yang menjaga kestabilan pohon Jika terlupakan, maka seluruh tubuh akan rapuh Dan tak bisa tertahan terhadap badai yang menderu Jadi, dalam ketersibukan menjaga teras pohon dan dedaunanJanganlah biarkan akar tersisih dan terlupa Berikanlah perhatian dan kasih sayang Agar pohonmu tumbuh besar dan bersemi rupa.
Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR)
Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is a spatial statistical method used for predicting outcomes based on geographical data. To conduct prediction using GWR, you can follow these steps: Note: It is essential to validate the GWR results with independent validation data and assess the model performance using appropriate validation metrics. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is a powerful statistical tool for predicting outcomes based on geographical data. Its ability to account for spatial heterogeneity in the relationships between independent and dependent variables makes it an attractive alternative to traditional regression methods such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The quality of GWR results

Designing and Developing a Web Map-based Muslim Cemetery System
By Shahabuddin Amerudin Introduction A web map-based cemetery system typically utilizes a GIS (Geographic Information System) to display a map of the cemetery and the location of graves within it. Users can interact with the map to zoom in and out, pan around, and view detailed information about individual graves, such as the name of the deceased, date of birth and death, and other relevant details. Some systems may also include photographs of the graves, and allow users to search for graves by name or other criteria. For cemetery managers, this type of system can be useful for maintaining accurate

Using GIS in the Process of Creating a Green Building Index (GBI) Score for the Elements of the Roof
Inroduction Green Building Index (GBI) is a certification system developed in Malaysia, it is used to assess the environmental performance of buildings in the country. The GBI was created by the Malaysia Green Building Confederation (MGBC) in 2009 as a national green building rating tool to promote sustainable building design and construction practices in Malaysia. The GBI rating system assesses the environmental performance of a building based on six categories: Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Indoor Environmental Quality, Material and Resources, Site and Infrastructure, Water Efficiency and Innovation in Design. Buildings are evaluated based on specific criteria within each category, and
The Green Building Index (GBI) Certification
Introduction Green Building Index (GBI) is a rating system that evaluates the environmental performance of buildings in Malaysia. Developed by the Malaysia Green Building Confederation (MGBC), the system aims to promote sustainable building practices and reduce the environmental impact of buildings. GBI assesses buildings based on nine categories: energy efficiency, indoor environment quality, materials and resources, site and surrounding, water efficiency, innovation, environmental management, land use and ecology, and emissions and effluents. Each category is assigned a certain number of points, and buildings must achieve a minimum number of points in each category in order to be certified. One of

Space Demand Analysis for Muslim Cemeteries: Methods, Techniques, and Expectations
Introduction Space demand analysis is a critical process that helps organizations, developers, and architects to determine the amount of space needed for a particular function or activity. The process involves identifying the space requirements of an organization, project, or event, and then determining the amount of space necessary to meet those requirements. This analysis is important for ensuring that the space is efficient, functional, and cost-effective. Space demand analysis for cemeteries is a process used to evaluate the amount of land and burial plots needed to accommodate the deceased. It involves identifying the space requirements of a particular cemetery, and

Flood Detention Basin: Techniques for Identifying Suitable Locations and Measuring Analysis Accuracy
A flood detention basin is a man-made structure designed to temporarily store stormwater runoff in order to reduce the risk of downstream flooding. The basin typically includes a depression or pond that can hold water during a storm, along with an outlet or spillway that slowly releases the water once the storm has passed. These basins are typically found in urban areas, where they can help to manage the increased volume of runoff caused by impervious surfaces such as roads, buildings, and parking lots. The basin is designed to hold a certain volume of water, known as the “detention volume,”
Exploring the Replacement of Malay Reserve Land in Malaysia: Analysis of Successful and Unsuccessful Cases and the Role of GIS
Replacement of Malay Reserve Land refers to the process of replacing land that has been designated as reserve land for the Malay community with alternative land that can be used for other purposes. This process can occur for a variety of reasons, including the development of infrastructure projects, urbanization, and changes in land use patterns. One of the main reasons for the replacement of Malay Reserve Land is the development of infrastructure projects. These projects, such as highways, airports, and housing developments, often require large tracts of land, and if that land happens to be designated as reserve land for
Using GIS to Analyze The Factors That Contribute to The Underdevelopment of Malay Reserve Land
Introduction Malay Reserve Land refers to land that is designated for the exclusive use and benefit of ethnic Malays and other indigenous communities in Malaysia. This land is typically managed by the government and is protected under the Malay Reservation Enactment of 1933. The development of Malay Reserve Land is a complex issue that has been the subject of much debate in Malaysia. On one hand, there is a need to protect the rights and interests of ethnic Malays and other indigenous communities, who have traditionally relied on these lands for their livelihoods. On the other hand, there is also
Assessment of Landslide Vulnerability
Introduction Assessment of landslide vulnerability involves determining the likelihood that a landslide will occur in a certain area, as well as the potential impact of such an event. This process typically includes the following steps: Identifying the potential landslide hazards in the area, such as steep slopes, areas with a history of landslides, and areas prone to heavy rainfall or erosion. Analyzing the susceptibility of the area to landslides, taking into account factors such as soil type, groundwater conditions, and land use practices. Evaluating the potential impact of a landslide on human and natural resources, such as buildings, infrastructure, and
