| Summary: | Using a micro-computer based geographic information system for Peninsular Malaysia and a simple
method of cluster analysis, a provisional statistical classification of climatic zones was produced. Eight
separate zones were identified and were described in terms such as 'dry sunny lowlands' and 'wet cloudy
uplands'. For a number of reasons, including limitations in the data base, these zones are described as
provisional. The procedures involved however have great potential for contributing to better environmental
and landuse plannitng. |
