Spatial modelling for distribution of migration potential in Klang Valley region / Mohd Fadzil Abdul Rashid

Internal migration is one of the important spatial phenomena in urban areas that contributes to high level of urbanisation and urban growth. However, it has been known that high volume of internal migration without adequate planning and support creates urban problems. This issue has been recognised...
