A study was conducted to predict the relationship between locational and socio-economic aspects on perceptions of impact of surrounding development, as well as willingness to accept (WTA) future development in Johor, particularly the proposed coastal project within Sungai Lebam catchment area, the location of this study.

Respondents were willing to accept due to their perceived positive future values of the development in improving their economic and occupational status as well as infrastructure in the area.
