Recap: Publication Analysing Spatial Pattern

Recap:

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be effectively used to support business analysis and expansion strategies — including identifying existing outlet patterns and exploring potential locations for new franchises.

This was my old publication in 2023, where I analyzed the spatial distribution patterns of three major fast-food restaurant chains in Malaysia. The study identifies hotspot areas and assesses the probability of opening new franchise locations.

Feel free to explore the paper for more insights and detailed findings. Your thoughts and feedback are most welcome!

Discussion on Geospatial Policies

Last month I was given an opportunity to handle discussions on Geospatial policy in one of the States in Malaysia

Very interesting topics, since policies are one of my sub-niches under SDI or spatial data sharing

Some key points:
– roles and responsibilities
– principles
– guidance

There are many policies in global, regional, national, and state level.

I would love to have further discussion and research on this “boring” sub-niche of SDI in the future

Panel members for Curriculum Review

I am honored to share that I have been appointed as one of the panel members for the curriculum review of the Diploma Teknologi Geospatial program at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM).


I am truly excited for the opportunity to contribute my knowledge and experience toward strengthening and enhancing the program, ensuring it remains relevant to current industry trends and future geospatial advancements.

Thank you to UiTM for the trust and confidence. Looking forward to working together with distinguished colleagues and experts in shaping the future of geospatial education in Malaysia!

First Publication of 2025!

Another publication by one of my students: “Spatial Distribution Patterns of Vehicle-Etching Cases in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.”

This paper explores how spatial statistical analysis was used to identify the distribution patterns of vehicle-etching cases within the Johor Bahru District.

The research applied Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map out these incidents and uncover whether there were any noticeable trends or “hotspots” across the city — and the results showed that these acts of vandalism aren’t as random as they might seem.

If you’re curious about the methodology, findings, or want to collaborate on something similar, feel free to dive into the full paper or reach out.

Sem 2 Sesi 2024/2025

Assalamu’alaykum and Greetings

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia akan memulakan kuliah semester 2 bagi sesi 2024/2025 pada 17 Mac 2025.

Selamat kembali dan semoga terus berusaha untuk mendapat manfaat dari pengajian anda!

Comparing Food Tourism Hotspots Before and After MCO 3.0 Lifted via Data Mining in Johor Bahru, Malaysia

We are thrilled to announce that we has recently published a chapter in book titled:

“Comparing Food Tourism Hotspots Before and After MCO 3.0 Lifted via Data Mining in Johor Bahru, Malaysia”

This research delves into the dynamic realm of food tourism, exploring the impacts of the lifting of MCO 3.0 on Johor Bahru’s culinary landscape. Through meticulous data mining techniques, we has unearthed fascinating insights into the transformations undergone by food hotspots in the wake of regulatory changes.

GIS WebTalk Siri 1

GIS WebTalk Siries 1

Assalamu’alaykum and Good Day

So, my friend’s Dr Uznir along side with 4th year student whom taken Spatial Data Management subject, successfully organized a GIS WebTalk Siries 1. This talk was initially an initiative to give exposure to student on how GIS being implemented in organization in Malaysia.

For the first siries, we invite Mr Zubaidi Daud, a Senior GIS Executive from Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd, a company whom manage all the sewerage in Malaysia. Mr Zubaidi share how GIS was improving the sewerage asset management, and the development of IGIS, and Integrated GIS for IWK’s internal usage.

Hopefully all the participants got something from this sharing

NALI 2020 – CDIO in KL GIS 2

So, this year, i’m participating again in NALI 2020. NALI stand for New Academia Learning Innovation, which means the improvement, enhancement of so-called “traditional-teaching” method into new and innovative teaching methods.

This year, i’ve submitted my paper, and hopefully, i can gain new knowledge this time.

this time around, NALI2020, along with other conferences, done virtually. And we need to submit the poster, and also the video presentation.

Here my poster and video presentation. i’m sorry the video not very creative.
