| 总结: | Sarawak economic is expected to remain robust and dynamic which leads to urban
migration and demands for more residential developments. The level and types of impact
from residential projects will vary significantly based on project-to-project basis. New
township on virgin sites can be extremely intrusive and have major impacts on natural
resources and the existing natural environment. EIA is essentially a planning tool for
preventing environmental problems due to an action. It is required under the Sarawak
NREO 1993. Certain criteria on development of residential and commercial areas are
prescribed activities that require ElA implementation. However, the problems faced by the
authorities and developers may affect the implementation ofElA. The study aims at looking
to the perception of the developers, authorities as well as the public on implementation of
EIA. It involves collation of guidelines on housing developments, EIA and EMP reports,
literature and other published articles on housing development. The study also conducted
interviews with key personnel of the authorities and selected ElA consultants. The
developers were concern on the procedural delays and red tape of an ElA approval.
Approval from SPA is their major license to project implementation, although SPA only
gives approval in principle. The authorities need more resources to cater the services as
more development is coming. Some of the public are aware of ElA implementation.
Respondents would choose price and promotion factor over environmental conditions of the
area. Deficiencies in ElA reports can be reduced by giving more stress on important issues
and have sound knowledge on the issues. NREB can work more efficiently giving more
publicity to the public and define its roles and functions. SPA, NREB and Land and Survey
Department working closely in giving approval to development can avoid future difficulties
on the environment. |
