3. Pulau Pangkor antara Pembangunan dan Kelestarian
Pengarang : Jamilah Mohamad, Mariney Mohd Yusoff
Imprint : Kuala Lumpur : Penerbit Universiti Malaya, 2017
Mukasurat : 283
Sinopsis :
Deklarasi Rio 1992 telah memperluaskan konsep pembangunan mapan dengan mengambil pendekatan yang bersifat holistik meliputi dimensi pembangunan ekonomi, keterlibatan sosial dan kelestarian persekitaran. Kini konsep pembangunan mapan telah diarusperdanakan oleh Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu melalui Agenda Pembangunan Mapan 2030 yang telah merangka satu set 17 Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan (Sustainable Development Goals - SDG) untuk dilaksanakan oleh semua negara melalui penubuhan Rangka Kerja Nasional. Pelaksanaan SDG bertujuan untuk mencapai kesejahteraan global dalam jangka panjang melalui penggunaan dan pengurusan sumber ekonomi dan sumber asli secara bijaksana, dan pada masa yang sama, perlu menghormati manusia dan segala bentuk kehidupan.
Usaha untuk mencapai Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan ini tentunya lebih mencabar dalam kes ekosistem pulau kecil. Pulau kecil, seperti Pulau Pangkor yang menjadi tumpuan kajian dalam buku ini, sering menghadapi keterancaman ekonomi kerana bergantung kepada beberapa aktiviti ekonomi asas seperti perikanan dan pelancongan. Walaupun sektor pelancongan berpotensi besar untuk meningkatkan sumber ekonomi pulau, pembangunan pelancongan mesti dijalankan dalam kerangka daya tampung sesebuah pulau. Selain daripada tekanan aktiviti pelancongan, ekosistem pulau juga perlu menampung permintaan penduduk tempatan untuk membina kawasan tempat tinggal dan infrastruktur asas. Semakin ramai penduduk dan semakin rancak aktiviti pembangunannya, maka semakin banyak sumber asli pulau, termasuk kawasan hutan, perlu digunakan.
Sifat pembangunan mapan itu berkonsep normatif menjangkau beberapa skala temporal dan spatial, dan mempunyai pelbagai pemegang taruh. Matlamat pembangunan mapan tidak mungkin dicapai tanpa elemen tadbir urus (governance) yang cekap. Tadbir urus pulau ke arah pencapaian pembangunan mapan melibatkan banyak isu yang menyentuh pelbagai aspek ekonomi, sosial, politik dan alam sekitar. Pendekatan multisektoral dan multidisiplin diperlukan untuk memahami isu yang wujud dalam konteks pembangunan sebuah pulau. Buku ini, yang mengandungi 11 bab, mengetengahkan hasil penelitian yang telah dibuat oleh pengkaji di Pusat Kajian UMSERGE dengan dibiayai oleh dana penyelidikan Universiti Malaya. Hasil kajian ini bermanfaat untuk penguasa tempatan, penggubal dasar, komuniti tempatan dan pemegang taruh yang lain yang perlu memahami dinamik isu pembangunan yang wujud di pulau ini. Buku ini sesuai dijadikan rujukan oleh penyelidik tempatan dan pelajar institusi pengajian tinggi untuk meneruskan agenda penyelidikan dalam bidang pembangunan mapan.

Pengarang : Elena Cahill
Imprint : Hoboken, New Jersey : John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021
Mukasurat : 213
Sinopsis :
Energy efficiency is more of a journey than a battle. It starts with small steps, taken at the local and state levels. It is a matter of identifying and then practicing good habits in our daily lives, at home and at work.
Every idea and process described in this book, if performed reasonably well, will put money in your pocket. You will not only save money; you will probably make money—and you will take important steps toward saving the planet.
Power Economics is a book for thoughtful people who want to cut their energy costs and diminish the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change and global warming are not speculative fantasies. They are real. They threaten communities, towns, cities, regions, nations, and continents. Even if you don't care about polar bears and penguins, the effects of melting icecaps and shifting ocean currents will transform your life and the lives of the people around you.
Power Economics offers practical steps and achievable strategies for reducing the destructive impact of climate change and global warming.
Yes, we need energy to live and to sustain our economies. But we don’t need to burn fossil fuels and release CO2 gas at levels that will result in a global catastrophe. There are reasonable alternatives to our current practices. None of the ideas that described in this book are entirely new or totally unfamiliar. They aren't extreme or bizarre. They won't require harsh or draconian measures to work. All of them follow basic rules of common sense and can be achieved at reasonable cost.
"I have done my best to convey the complexity and urgency of the matter. I hope that you find this book informative and useful. Working together, we can shed many of our wasteful energy habits and begin the task of building a world that is safe, sustainable and healthy," writes author and energy expert Elena Cahill.

7. Public-Private Partnership and Private Finance Initiative for Infrastructure Projects
Pengarang : Faizul Azli Mohd Rahim, Nurshuhada Zainon, Saipol Bari Abd Karim, Akmal Latiff Ayob
Imprint : Kuala Lumpur : Universiti of Malaysia Press, 2017
Muka surat : 104
Sinopsis :
Traditionally, public finance has provided most of the major source of funds for investment in infrastructure projects. However, the challenge of providing infrastructure projects has led governments worldwide to look at new and innovative alternative methods to finance and manage infrastructure projects. This has led to the participation of the private sector in the financing and managing of public services and infrastructure. Among the well-established private sector participation is the Public-Private Partnership (PPP).
PPP is increasingly being used to bring together the strengths of both sectors to facilitate the delivery of projects and services. In Malaysia, the government has realised the importance of PPP in economic development since the implementation of privatisation in 1983. PPP is a partnership that involves transfer to the private sector the risk and responsibility to fund and manage a capital investment package and services including the construction, management, maintenance, improvement and replacement of public sector assets such as buildings, infrastructure, equipment and other facilities that create a standalone business. They collaborate on the fundamental of a clearly defined sharing of tasks and risks to achieve benefits of added value and increased efficiency. PPP provides benefit to both the public and private sectors, especially when it is done based on trust, openness, fairness and mutual respect.
The terms PPP and PFI (Private Finance Initiative) have often being used inter-changeably throughout the world although there are subtle differences between them. In Malaysia, PFI is a public service delivery type of PPP where the responsibility for providing public services is transferred from the public to the private sector for a considerable period of time. PFI is a means of using private finance and skills to deliver capital investment projects traditionally provided by the public sector.
This book contains numerous insights that will enable the readers to understand and appreciate the theory and practice of PPP/PFI. The contributing authors provide refreshing ways in addressing the understanding of PPP/PFI particularly in infrastructure projects.
