ISSUE BUKIT CHABANG AND SOLUTION

 


Bukit Chabang is a popular hiking and tourism destination in Perlis, known for its breathtaking views and natural beauty. However, the increasing number of visitors has led to several issues, including waste pollution, soil erosion, safety concerns, and vandalism. Proper management is crucial to preserving its environment and ensuring a safe experience for visitors.


1) Waste Pollution

Issue:
• Irresponsible hikers and visitors leave behind large amounts of waste, such as plastic bottles and food scraps, along the hiking trails.

• The lack of sufficient trash bins and proper waste management facilities around Bukit Chabang worsens the littering problem.

How to Overcome:

2) Soil Erosion and Ecosystem Disruption

Issue:
• The increasing number of hikers contributes to soil erosion along hiking trails, especially during heavy rainfall.

• Clearing of forest areas for development disrupts local flora and fauna habitats.

How to Overcome:
• Develop more stable hiking trails using stone or wooden pathways to prevent erosion.

• Limit the number of daily hikers to reduce environmental impact and preserve the ecosystem.


3) Hiker and Tourism Safety

Issue:
• The lack of safety measures, such as clear signboards, handrails on steep trails, and emergency response teams, increases the risk of accidents.

• Slippery, rocky, and poorly maintained trails pose a danger to hikers.

How to Overcome:
• Install clear signboards to indicate hiking routes, difficulty levels, and safety warnings.

• Regularly repair and maintain hiking trails to ensure they remain safe for visitors.


4) Unregulated Activities (Vandalism and Graffiti)

Issue:
• Some visitors carve markings or graffiti on rocks and trees, damaging the natural beauty of Bukit Chabang.

• Acts of vandalism, such as damaging signboards and rest huts, disrupt the hiking experience.
