Understanding Sinkhole Susceptibility in Kuala Lumpur and Ampang Jaya: A GIS and AHP-Based Approach
Introduction Sinkholes are a significant geohazard, particularly in urban areas like Kuala Lumpur and Ampang Jaya, where the increasing number of incidents has raised concerns over public safety and urban infrastructure. Since 1968, the Klang Valley region has witnessed a growing frequency of sinkholes, posing serious threats to human lives, assets, and structures, particularly in Malaysia’s bustling capital. To address this issue, Rosdi et al. (2017) conducted a study that employed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integrated with the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) to develop a Sinkhole Hazard Model (SHM). This article discusses the findings of this study, the methods used, […]
