M.Zainora AsmawiThe Future of Coastal Management Programme in Malaysia: Making the Coast Visible to Plannersplan (Figure 6). It was reported that these plans were prepared because therewere some substantial conflicts between economic development, environmentand tourism in those LPAs areas (i.e., Klang Municipal Council, Seberang PeraiMunicipal Council and Pekan District Council). These areas have widespreaddevelopment located within their coastal stretch in which the collaborationbetween TP and CM should be regarded as highly recommended. The plans,however, were merely on voluntary efforts and did not have statutory status.This situation consequently leads to the issue of lacking of implementationworks on the ground. Similarly, only four responding authorities (17%) had aCM programme as shown in Figure 7. The LPA are Klang Municipal Council(declaration on Port Klang Coastal Strategy), Muar Municipal Council (aprogramme integrating the coastal and river management sectors of itsdevelopment plans), Sepang Municipal Council (coastal development of BaganLalang area) and Kuala Selangor District Council (conservation of mangroveforest reserve). This demonstrates that the nature of programmes was basicallyfocused on the environmental management resources, targeting on specificcoastal issue. Currently, no comprehensive CM programmes were undertaken inan integrated approach between the agencies involved in TP and CM.Figure 6: Availability of CM plans© 2012 by MIP 138
PLANNING MALAYSIAJournal of the Malaysia Institute of Planners (2012)Figure 7: Availability of CM programmesAvailability of any other programmes on CMLPAs can be involved in CM indirectly through coastal groups. This couldallow CM objectives to be delivered through TP practice. However, generallythroughout the country, there is little commitment to coastal groups. Only AlorGajah Municipal Council and Penang Municipal Council (8%) said that theyhave coastal groups (Figure 8). The main tasks of these groups are cleaning upthe coastal areas or maintenance of the facilities provided at the beach for publicuse. These groups were formed by the department for planning anddevelopment control. The low response on having coastal groups is the mainconcern of this study where it reflects the priority is not given to the CM workas part of the TP works. Meanwhile, four other LPAs (Port Dickson MunicipalCouncil, Marang District Council, Kubang Pasu District Council and YanDistrict Council) intended to set up coastal groups. A specific question wasasked about the reasons for setting up coastal groups as shown in Table 3.Generally, the result demonstrates that concern for public safety seems to be themost important reason for setting up coastal groups, followed by (in priorityorder):139© 2012 by MIP
