CLIMATE CHANGE OR EXTREME WEATHER IMPACT ON HUMAN SETTLEMENT AND LAND USE Abstract This paper gives some overview on climate change impact on human settlement and land use in Malaysia and analyzes the current mechanism which can be used to reduce the impacts. Evaluation on land use system and its implementation in Malaysia gives some perspective on how the existing mechanism could reduce impacts from climate change through development strategies and development control. It is imperative that the existing land use system and its mechanism to be understood by not only the relevant agencies but also the public to ensure its effectiveness. Better understanding on existing development policies and improvement of existing documents therefore are important. Climate change is a global phenomenon and will have impacts on Malaysia. Principles of the Hyogo Framework of Action should be disseminated to other technical agencies in their planning and development programme to reduce impact of disasters. A more integrated approach between ministries, technical agencies and NGOs in mitigating measures especially in producing risk mapping for vulnerable settlements should be expedited. Community participation in disaster risk reduction is necessary. 1
