Abstract


Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai tahap pengetahuan dan pandangan penduduk tempatan tentang impak projek terhadap alam sekitar dan sosio-ekonomi tempatan sepanjang proses pembinaan dijalankan. Satu projek pembinaan pangsapuri di Brickfileds telah diambil sebagai fokus kajian ini. Kaedah pemerhatian dan pengedaran borang soal selidik telah digunakan untuk memperolehi data primer. Seramai 40 responden dipilih dengan kaedah persampelan mudah di kalangan penduduk tempatan untuk soal selidik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa majoriti responden mempunyai pengetahuan asas tentang projek walaupun mereka tidak dimaklumkan oleh pihak pemaju. Mereka berpandangan bahawa pelaksanaan projek ini tidak mendatangkan kebaikan malah membawa kesulitan kepada mereka sepanjang proses pembinaan dijalankan. Selain itu, bagi majoriti penduduk, projek ini juga tidak mendatangkan impak positif terhadap alam sekitar. Sebaliknya, mereka pernah mengalami pencemaran udara, pembuangan sisa pembinaan dalam longkang dan pencemaran bunyi yang berlaku di sekitar tapak pembinaan pada tahap yang boleh diterima. Projek tersebut juga dikatakan memberi kesan terhadap sumber air minuman dan kemerosotan keupayaan pendengaran mereka. Dari segi impak terhadap sosio-ekonomi, kebanyakan responden tidak bersetuju bahawa projek membawa impak positif kepada pertambahan peluang pekerjaan dan peningkatan kualiti kemudahan tetapi bersetuju bahawa kesesakan lalu lintas sering terjadi. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan komunikasi antara pihak pemaju dan penduduk tempatan amat diperlukan supaya pendapat masyarakat tempatan dapat difahami sebelum pelaksanaan projek pembinaan.

This study aimed to assess the knowledge and views of local communities towards the construction impacts on the environmental and socio-economic aspects. The case study focused on a progressing construction project at the Brickfields housing area. The primary data were obtained through questionnaires and field observation. For questionnaire distribution, convenience sampling was employed to choose 40 respondents among the local communities at the study area. Findings indicated that majority of the respondents knew about the project although they were not informed by the developer. During the construction, they had experienced air pollution, noise pollution, and unefficient waste management at the neighborhood areas. In terms of socioeconomic impacts, majority respondents agreed that the progressing construction did not affect the local employability and infrastructure improvement. Instead, they suffered from traffic jam when trucks loading materials at the construction site. For future development, the study suggested a bilateral communication between both parties to understand the project details and possible impacts to the local environment and communities.
