(Comparative Analysis of Air Quality During COVID-19 Pandemic In The Federal Territory of Putrajaya and Main City of Petaling Jaya)

Abstract

Indeks Pencemar Udara (IPU) berada pada tahap yang berisiko sebelum daripada pandemik Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). Pada tahun 2019 IPU mencatatkan kadar tidak sihat (101-200) dan sangat tidak sihat (201-300) ekoran daripada pencemaran semasa dan jerebu rentas sempadan. Meskipun begitu, tahap IPU semasa penularan COVID-19 telah mendorong pelaksanaan PKP 1.0 oleh Perdana Menteri Malaysia dari 18 Mac hingga 3 Mei 2020 di seluruh Malaysia sehingga mengubah kualiti udara yang lebih bersih. Justeru, tujuan penulisan artikel ini untuk menganalisis perbandingan IPU di kawasan bandar Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya dan bandaraya Petaling Jaya pada tahun 2019 dan 2020. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah pemerolehan data IPU daripada Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) serta mengumpul data secara lapangan yang melibatkan borang soal selidik. Teknik penganalisisan data secara deskriptif dan inferensi mendapati tahap IPU berada pada tahap baik (0-50) berbanding sebelum penularan COVID-19. Sehubungan itu, Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) versi 25, mendapati fasa PKP 1.0 menggariskan Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) yang lebih ketat berbanding PKPB dan PKPP terhadap intensiti sosioekonomi serta sikap dan respon masyarakat. Kesimpulannya, kajian ini penting dalam menentukan inisiatif perundangan, bukan perundangan dan penganalisisan The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center berdasarkan Regulation of Air Pollution June 2018 untuk digeneralisasikan kepada persekitaran lestari. Kata kunci: Analisis IPU, tahap IPU, tempoh masa, sosioekonomi, sikap dan respon.

ABSTRACT

The Air Pollutant Index (API) was at risk levels prior to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2019 API recorded unhealthy rates (101-200) and very unhealthy (201-300) due to current pollution and cross-border haze. Nevertheless, the API level during the transmission of COVID-19 has prompted the implementation of PKP 1.0 by the Prime Minister of Malaysia from March 18th to May 3rd, 2020 throughout Malaysia thus changing the cleaner air quality. Thus, the purpose of writing this article is to analyze the comparison of API in the urban areas of the Federal Territory of Putrajaya and the city of Petaling Jaya in 2019 and 2020. This study uses the method of obtaining API data from the Department of Environment (DOE) and data collection  in the field involving questionnaires. . Descriptive and inferential data analysis techniques found that API levels were at a good level (0-50) compared to before COVID-19 transmission. In this regard, the Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 25, found that the PKP 1.0 phase outlines the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which is stricter than PKPB and PKPP on socio -economic intensity as well as community attitudes and responses. In conclusion, this study is important in determining the legislative, non -legislative initiatives and analysis of The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center based on the Regulation of Air Pollution June 2018 to be generalized to a sustainable environment.

Keywords: API analysis, API level, time period, socioeconomics, attitudes and responses.
