- Abstract
The National Physical Plan (NPP) of Malaysia is a pivotal framework that helps to translate national spatial policies into actionable strategies at various planning levels. The first NPP (NPP1) in 2005 substantially emphasised land-use policies, which prompted the need to assess their impact on land use and land-cover (LULC) dynamics. This study focuses on LULC changes in Selangor, Malaysia, spanning from 1990 (pre-NPP1) to 2020 (post-NPP3). Leveraging remote sensing data collected from satellites such as Landsat 5 and 8, both single and multiple regression analyses were conducted to elucidate the primary drivers behind these transformations. Single regression analysis revealed that LULC in 2015 emerged as a robust predictor in LULC in 2020, explaining nearly 60% of the variation in LULC of that year. Conversely, multiple regression analysis revealed that all four predictors (LULC in 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020) had statistically substantial regression coefficients, thus contributing to explaining the variations in LULC observed in 1990. These findings offer invaluable insights into the multifaceted factors influencing LULC changes in Selangor. They serve as a foundational resource for crafting evidence-based policies and strategies aimed at effectively managing and regulating LULC transitions within the region.
