| description | Since 1990s, the impact of tourism development has grown tremendously
especially in the spectra of islands and marine parks tourism. Despite the
fact that most of the Malaysian islands already have their individual
ecotourism natural attractions, more islands have been progressively
developed as a tourist attractions spot. The scenario has given an economic
advantage to the local community where many society members have shifted
their profession from fishing to ecotourism-related activities. However,
inappropriate tourism development and growth can lead to adverse
environmental and socio-economic impacts on the islands, including
exposing the local community to certain foreign behaviours that may
opposed to the island culture or traditional community values. Pangkor
Island is one of the renowned islands in Malaysia, located in the Perak state
and just off the coast of North West Malaysia. Another name for Pangkor
Island long ago was Dinding, which means 'screen' or 'partition'. There are
five main attractions of Pangkor Island that are coastal areas, island resorts,
historical sites, forest areas and cultural activities. Based on Life Cycle
Theory, Pangkor Island is currently facing declination stage where it used to
experience booming tourism period in the past 20 years. The impact of
previous development on the local community socio-economic provides a
significant research area to be explored. Interviews have been conducted
with several notable people in Pasir Bogak and Teluk Nipah to assess the
socio-economic impact on the local community in Pangkor Island. |
