Travel Time Patterns Of Students With Special Needs To Special Education Integrated Program-Based Schools In Johor Bahru, Malaysia: An Initial Finding, Nurul Hawani Idris, Nur Afiqah Ahmad Bakhtiar, Mohamad Hafis Izran Ishak
Travel Time Patterns Of Students With Special Needs To Special Education Integrated Program-Based Schools In Johor Bahru, Malaysia: An Initial Finding, Nurul Hawani Idris, Nur Afiqah Ahmad Bakhtiar, Mohamad Hafis Izran Ishak
International Journal of Geospatial and Environmental Research
Education for all has been a global priority to ensure that all students have equal access to high-quality education regardless of disability or minority status. In Malaysia, the special education integrated programme (SEIP) is designed to close the inequality gap by integrating special education into existing government and vernacular schools. Numerous studies examine the travel patterns of regular students to school, resulting in a dearth of research on the travel patterns of special needs students to formal school. Thus, this paper uses spatial analysis to demonstrate the travel patterns of students with special needs to SEIP schools. This paper demonstrated …

Using the kriging spatial interpolation method, Cd sediment contamination in Lake Erie from 1971 (263 samples) and 1997/1998 (55 samples) were mapped as continuous data surfaces. Although the most recent data set is two decades old, the roughly 25 year period between the two comprehensive lake-wide surveys represents a period of intense binational management action to reduce sources of contamination. To improve interpolation accuracy between two different sampling densities, auxiliary variables including lake-wide sediment substrate types were integrated into spatial analysis of Cd contamination patterns. The potential for adverse biological impacts posed by Cd sediment contamination to humans and aquatic …
