This article aims to explain on how the concept of economic value assessment using Travel Cost Method (TCM) can be applied to recreational based tourism locations. By using the Travel Cost Method (TCM) approach, the economic value of a tourism location can be determined even though the attributes of that tourism site are based on recreational features. The concept of economic determination of a tourism location based on Travel Cost Method (TCM) is by the use of individual's travel cost data as a proxy for the recreational value of that tourist location. Consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for the cost to visit the recreation area is able to show the economic value and importance of a tourism location. The reason is because visitors have to spend money to pay for the costs of travel such as fuel, tolls, parking and the costs during the stay in recreational centre such as accommodation, food and ticket prices should also be considered. However, economic value assessment using Travel Cost Method (TCM) comes with certain issues and limitations. Therefore, this article also discusses the issues and limitations in applying economic value assessment of a tourist location based on Travel Cost Method (TCM).

The flash floods, landslides and mudflow in Cameron Highlands are catastrophes which threaten local life and economic activities which depend on tourism activities. Several series of flash floods, landslides and mudflows which occurred in 2014, 2016 and 2018 in Cameron Highlands illustrate that they are the biggest threat to the highland tourism spot in the coming future. This tourist spot may face the risk of being unvisited for a while because of the untreated conditions after the flash floods, landslides and mudflows. This article aims to describe a brief historical summary of flash floods, landslides and mudflows in Cameron Highlands and how this disaster can threaten the readiness of activities in other highland tourism sites. The discussion focuses on the process of building resilience to flash floods in the Cameron Highlands over the last few years. This article ends with a discussion on the challenges to be undertaken in the process of enhancing Cameron Highlands as a highland tourism destination. The discussion suggests that the approach towards achieving sustainable tourism development goals especially in Cameron Highlands should return to the original goal of tourism development with its aim to minimize the environmental impact and protect the human habitat.
This research aims to define various Islamic based identity profile to different individuals by identifying the various degrees of Islamic based identity profile. A scale of measurement in ordinal scale has been used to determine an Islamic based identity profile. The scale is subdivided into three main subsections, namely very rarely, average level and very frequently. By using the scale of measurement on an ordinal scale, it assists in developing a numerical hypothesis that is then used to determine an individual's Islamic based identity profile using the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. Using twenty-four set of questions, the research used the evidence presented to support a given Islamic based identity profile of a specific individual and filtered it using various degrees of probabilities of the evidence theory model, which have aided in proving or validating a particular hypothesis. The questions are divided into three types based on Islamic identity profile which include Fitrah, Khalifah and Din. The conclusion made is that we may be able to easily diagnose an individual’s Islamic based identity profile using Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence.
