MY HOMETOWN SUSTAINABILITY

Series 1

Population growth • From year to year the growth rate in Pasir Mas were increasing

Air quality • Was in good condition because this area did not have any industrial factories

that can contribute to the worst air pollution

Biodiversity • Water quality of Kelantan river was not in good performance and condition as

we can see the colour of the river was brown in colour and this meant that the river were having high sedimentation but still can use for daily usage

Waste and recycling• The solid waste management was handled by Majlis Daerah Pasir Mas. They

operated everyday but some area such as around wet market was in bad condition because sellers there not having enough awareness and cooperation due to the handling of waste.

• Only some items were recycled in this area such as metal,steel,copper,bottles (ketchup,sauces but no plastic bottles). So this can concluded as the residents or peoples in this area are not practicing recycling.

Eco footprint (Impact of the development, services, housing, transport and consumable on the environment).

• The development in Pasir Mas gives high impact to the environment. Many buildings were built and residential houses developed encircle the town.

Transport • Pasir Mas had enough public transports such as bus,taxi and train either

inter-district and intra-district

Education • In Pasir Mas there were many schools for primary and secondary, islamic

schools (sekolah pondok) and also had public institution higher learning

Health and healthcare • Many private clinics in Pasir Mas and there were government hospitals in

Pasir Mas town that enough to treat the peoples in this area.

Green space • almost half area of Pasir Mas was green and had many paddy fields for

every villages, also rubber estate owned by the villagers

Climate change• the surrounding and temperature can be categorized in good of sustainable

percentages

Food • Sources of food were from local and neighboring country such as Thailand and

some food was imported.

Economic base
