Regional Inequality

Detect development problem. Caused ; colonist governance effect.

Williamson (1965) agreed; increased 1st stage of development:

Labour migration.Capital = decline area to develop area.Government action.Limited spread effect because lack of regional relation.

How to solve regional inequality?

< choice of migration, Labour market & capital; >

perfect, Government practice policy;

Stable regional development = Main objective of Country development (9th MP).

Action ; reduce regional inequality. Regional & state. > focus

> activated

Regional Inequality…..continued

Urban & rural area.

Activity; increase income & quality of life.

What Is Stability of Urban Development? Part of important strategy to integrate economy system.

Achieved through < differences between regional. Benefit ;economy development & basic facilities Distribute ; widely & fairly = all country

National urbanization policy = provide urban centre Proper > Crowded Different size & roles

Effectiveness relation (urban & rural area) > rural household ; involved urban activities, Faster modern processer ; rural area.

Resource & New Land Development Aims; Increasing agricultural productivity in

highly productive land development schemes by absorbing the rural poor from the less developed states.

Implies; Mobility of large numbers of people to newly development areas.

The method; RDA to transform virgin land into agriculturally productive areas.

18

Agricultural ProductivityVIDEO 2VIDEO 2

19

In Situ Rural Development Definition; An integrated development approach, aimed at

modernising existing rural areas, by providing infrastructural facilities such as drainage, irrigation, marketing, & other agricultural services.

The aim; To increase the productivity of the farmers & improve their standards of living.

Located; less developed parts of the country (e.g., Muda, Kemubu, & Besut – Low income states in Kedah, Kelantan & Terengganu, respectively).

Different from the old rural development approach, in that the new strategy involves defining areas, planning integrated activities, special implementing, & co-ordinating organisation.

20

Industrial Dispersal Strategy The aim; To encourage new manufacturing industries to move to

the less developed parts of the country especially in the east coast states from the congested Klang Valley & other major urban centres in the west coast.

Industrial decentralisation; To accelerate development in the poorer states through the utilisation of the local resources & absorbing the large number of the unemployed, especially the Malays.

This strategy is linked; strategy of growth centres, in that the development of these centres would spread the development to the hinterlands.

21

Rural Urbanisation & Growth Centre Strategy

Definition; An integral part of the urbanisation strategy, designed to encourage rural to urban migration; especially amongst the Malays, in the context of the NEP.

The aim; relieving the congested metropolitan areas & developing the depressed areas by restructuring the indigenous rural communities into more modern & productive communities.

Related with other strategies; rural industrialisation, industrial dispersion, & growth centres.

22

Purposes of Rural Urbanisation Concept

1. To introduce an urban type environment, facilities, & services, into generally agricultural & rural areas.

2. To foster the development of modern commercial & industrial activities in the rural areas, & into the designated new growth centres.

3. To induce an active participation of Malays & other indigenous people within the modern sector of commercial & service activities.

Roles of Federation Government In Urban Development Issues

1. Make sure ; urban development > stable; physical & ethnic Efficient sources management ; land, transportation, housing & etc….

2. Quick urban process at rural area Workers ; Land development scheme People ; in- situ area

In urban economy activities such as services, commercial, small industries.Obj; < income distribution at others area. Encourage development aspect to increase local economy.

3. Make sure ; proper development urban area So ; prepare structure plan & local plan

Development guideline & urban renovation. Increase ; efficiency in urban planning.

26

Roles of Federation Government In Urban Development Issues….continue4. Quick urban development

Regional Progress Institution (LKW) Method; study private involvement

Encourage; urban activities Such as ; construction, manufacturing & services.

5. Introduce the concept of village urbanization Method; grouping small village become small urban Commercial activities ; small industries, business & agriculture.

6. Sustainable development Good partnership, good governance & general involvement. Stabilization; fulfill the current requirement & future time – social

Government Roles In National Development Policy

Roles; social development & security. Private sector ; Play their role in economy country

growth. Profit & invest ; higher return. But ; lowest return sector (agriculture)

; Long term of return

(social infrastructure & security)

Not attractive private sector.

3 Phase to develop National Economy (since Year 1960)

Market Based Approaches

Development by Government

Private & Public Commitment

29

Market Based Approaches 1960-1970 ; agriculture sector

Main contribute to economy growth.

Rubber & tin; main commodity Contribute 53% (export). Main contribution ; federation revenue 28%.

2 development approaches;1. Industrial sector & commercial ; laissez-faire policy (British).

Def;..is a doctrin mention that the initiative & private product is the best because no participation by government (free market, minimum tax & rules, property ownership).

2. Rural area ; They have social infrastructure & physical. Government play an active role. To make sure ; rural people get development benefit.

This approaches ; success – contribution national economy (6% yearly).

30

Development by Government 1971-1983. Since racial riot; reconsider development approaches of

laissez-faire.

Aware ; importance of stable & fair distribute of development revenue.

New approaches; to make sure native of a country. Get a benefit from economy development = DEB

objective.

This time; government play big roles. From rural area development to pro-active role. Under development & economy distribution.

31

Private & Public Commitment

Purpose; encourage > participation of public sector (especially native of a country). In country development as a DEB

objective.

Still use nowadays.

Method ; urban economy health. Focus > ; economy activities, work chances & poverty problem.

• Conservation ; natural sources.

1. Change sources.

2. Using changes.

3. Maintain intangible factor; comfortable & heritage value.

• Balance with nature.

• Community awareness : chances.

• Minimize sources Misspend

• Minimize bad element; community.

•Over development.

•Declining business.

Sustainable Development Approaches

38

ConclusionsTo achieve stable development; Increase urban & small area. Development strategy must focus on potential area &

care surroundings quality. Physical development strategy must related with

economy & social development strategy. Varieties economy & industrial development at rural

area. Urban development strategy ; Consider the sources

& capability to solve inequality problem.
