| dc.description.abstract | The practice of involving public in planning has been in place since the birth of modern town in planning in Malaysia. However at that time, public involvement was only restricted only after a draft plan is completed. The modern planning Act, ie the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 has given a new dimensions in urban planning practice in Malaysia. Throughout the many amendments that had been taking place since 1976 right up to 2001, the Act has improvised the ways of improving the urban planning practice as a whole which includes a more systematic approach on how to involve the public in urban planning process more effectively. However, despite these provisions, past studies on public participation in Malaysia highlight very low response from the public in planning process. In response, there is a growing interest among scholars in studying the effectiveness of the existing public participation mechanism. The previous studies mainly address the lack of effort and initiatives of the planning authorities in organizing effective participation programmes. However, the question arises from here is that, should the authorities be solely blamed for these low turn-up rates? If the government adopts full willingness to involve public, will that translate to higher respond from the public? Using a mixed-methods approach, this study found that social connectedness among members of a community and positive feeling towards neighbourhood do have influence in making people to be more participative in planning. It is evident from this study that some elements of social capital differed significantly between active and less active residents. | en_US |
