| description | Environmental degradation is one of the largest threats that are happening especially in
protected areas. This is due to protected areas provide not only environmental benefits but
also social and economic benefits to people and communities worldwide. Kinabalu Park,
Sabah is declared by UNESCO as Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site in 2000 and the park
is classified into category II (National Park). A national park is very closely related to naturebased tourism, being a symbol of a high-quality natural environment with a well-designed
tourist infrastructure. Among the main reasons for people coming to Kinabalu Park is to
enjoy the beauty of nature as its flora and fauna diversity and also the magnificent
mountainous landscape. This paper focuses on prioritizing the environment aspect that being
affected by the tourism activities and some of the acts of irresponsible visitors. If the
environmental degradation continues, this might harm the environment on the long term
basis. The method that will be using is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize the
protection of the environment on the study area. It can help decision makers to prioritize on
which matter that they need to focus more on and also enables to put more expert knowledge
together allowing more precise decisions and moderating personal judgments. |
