| Summary: | This study was conducted in six rural villages in the western part of the state
of Pahang. The study's general objective was to assess the overall IADP project
sustainability through its integrated impact on the environment, economic, and
social well being of the beneficiaries and the villages. The specific objectives were
to: (i) identify environmental related variables and determine their level of
sustainability contribution to IADP; (ii) identify economic related variables and
determine their level of sustainability among the beneficiaries; and (iii) identify
social related variables and determine their level of sustainability in relation to the
beneficiaries transformation, organisation and community practices.
Data collected through survey were supported by data collected through
observation and document study. The survey elicited perception responses from one
hundred eleven respondents selected at random through questionnaire with open ended
questions administered by means of interview-schedule. Observation was
done on the status of IADP and its sustainable impact on the environment, economic and social practices of the beneficiaries. The documents studied include the IADP
progress reports; statistical data on the environmental condition of the project area
taken from the Meteorological Services and Department of Environment of
Malaysia; nutritional, health and educational aspects from the villages' clinics and
schools, respectively. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and
standard deviations were used in describing the results. |
