Rural area development by understanding basic infrastructure needs through local survey in Sibu, Sarawak

Rural area development by understanding basic infrastructure needs through local survey in Sibu, Sarawak / Tiffany Ting Feng Nee
Kini, Malaysia masih menghadapi masalah kekurangan infrastruktur asas di luar bandar. Banyak tempat di Sabah dan Sarawak masih kurang berhubungan dengan luar malah liputan bekalan air dan elektrik juga terhad. Kawasan kajian ditetapkan pada 3 lokasi berlainan di Sibu, Sarawak. Antaranya ialah bandar Sibu yang merupakan lokasi yang paling maju dibangunkan; diikuti dengan Sibu Jaya yang berstatus sebagai sebuah bandar baru di pinggir Sibu, dan akhir sekali Selangau, sebuah pekan kecil yang memberi tumpuan kepada agrikultur. Kajian ini mempunyai dua objektif, iaitu: memahami dan membandingkan keadaan infrastruktur asas dan akses infrastruktur di Sibu; dan menganalisis dan mencadangkan penambahbaikan infrastruktur berdasarkan perspektif peduduk tempatan di Sibu. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif, Pearson’s Correlation Analysis and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). Hasil penyelidikan boleh menjadi rujukan kepada kerajaan atau pengkaji yang berminat untuk mengetahui perspektif penduduk tempatan terhadap keadaan infrastruktur. Hasil penyelidikan menekankan kekurangan pengangkutan awan di SIbu Town boleh diselesai dengan menggunakan teknologi maju yang sedia ada untuk memperkanalkan jadual bas dan lokasi secara atas talian. Cadangan kedua untuk menyelesaikan masalah ketidakpuasan penduduk Sibu Jaya terhadap pengangkutan awam ialah mengingkatkan keselesaan dan keadaan pengangkutan awam. Akhir sekali, kemudahan asas Selangau perlu dimajukan termasuk hubungan jalan luar bandar dan jalan raya yang bandar dengan luar bandar perlu dibina. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ In Malaysia, there are still issues circulating the inadequate rural basic infrastructure. In many parts of Sabah and Sarawak, there are still lacking in connectivity and have limited coverage of water and electricity supply. The research area is set at 3 locations in Sibu, Sarawak. Sibu Town is the most populated and developed location among the 3, Sibu Jaya which is a new township on the outskirts of Sibu Town and last but not least, Selangau District, a small town that focuses on agriculture. The two objective of this research are: to understand and compare the basic infrastructure condition and infrastructure accessibility in Sibu; to analyse and suggest infrastructure improvements based on local perspective in Sibu. Data analysis was done by using descriptive analysis, Pearson’s Correlation Analysis and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The research results can also be taken into consideration by policymakers or future researchers who are keen to know local perspective on infrastructure. The results highlight solving Sibu Town’s low public transportation access by utilizing the local’s advance technology connectivity to bus schedules and locations, solve Sibu Jaya’s dissatisfaction of public transport and high amount spent on travel by improving comfort and conditions of the public transport. Lastly, for Selangau, to start improving basic amenities, rural roads and rural to city connecting roads.
