“…Similarly, the communities' embracement of cultural norms and traditions assisted them to deal with challenging events. These norms and traditions transcended time and helped the communities preserve peace and harmony (e.g., Camacho et al, 2012;Duncan, 2007;Fatanah et al, 2012;Iskandar et al, 2018;Tacey & Riboli, 2014).…”

“…The Batek community in Pahang, Malaysia believed that the spirits of the forest disguised itself into plants and animals. It is therefore important to respect the existence of the forest, animals, and plants (Fatanah et al, 2012). For the Ngaju Dayak community in Katingan, Indonesia, rattan bears a special meaning to the community.…”

“…Furthermore, the Batek community in Pahang, Malaysia believed that it is important to respect the customary laws as failure to do so would anger the spiritualistic world (Fatanah et al, 2012). Meanwhile, the indigenous ethnic minorities in Indonesia reverted back to the local forms of customary rules and laws practiced by the community when the opportunity exists (Duncan, 2007).…”

Although faced with historical and ongoing hardships, many indigenous communities in Southeast Asia have managed to survive and thrive. The identification of factors that assist these communities in coping with the challenges experienced would help enhance their overall psychological well‐being and resilience. The current review outlines types of protective factors for the indigenous communities in Southeast Asia focusing on the cultural, family and community elements linked to their psychological well‐being. Four themes of protective factors were identified strong connection to the land and the environment, embracing cultural norms and traditions, passing down and keeping indigenous knowledge across generations, and emphasis on community and social cohesion. Findings suggest that the value of interconnectedness serves as an overarching theme that forms the worldview of the indigenous communities in Southeast Asia. Interconnectedness was important to the indigenous peoples as they considered themselves to be extensions of their family, community, ancestors, future descendants, the land and to all living things and creations that reside on their lands. Future intervention attempts to promote resilience among these communities should take these factors into account, and pay closer attention to community‐level factors that seem to have a profound impact on the indigenous construction of resilience.

“…As described earlier, this community which can be found mostly in the Northeastern part of Peninsular Malaysia (Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu), is among the smallest subethnics of Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia (9)(10)(11). The Bateks of Kuala Koh stayed in a deeper part of forested areas in Gua Musang District (approximately 77km from Gua Musang city) and the group, like the other groups of Bateks in Pasir Lenggi and Felda Aring in Gua Musang district, is still demonstrating the uses of medicinal plants for healing rituals in their daily lives, and hence has easily become the subject of choice for the study.…”

Traditional knowledge related to medicinal plants of the indigenous people is a valuable asset to the community and could potentially bring economic returns to them if it is utilized appropriately. While much of the existing researches have been focused on documenting the knowledge, not much however, has been made known on the 'holistic' practice of the knowledge at the community level particularly in the Malaysian context. This is an important aspect as documenting the knowledge alone would not bring any meaning if the knowledge itself is not sustainably practiced by the communities who hold the knowledge. However, it is not an easy task to understand the management aspect of the knowledge especially if the researcher comes from a 'different world view' that the indigenous people themselves. This study is an attempt to combine two methodologies namely ethnographic approach as data gathering method and the principles of grounded theory approach as data analysis in understanding how the traditional knowledge related to medicinal plants is being protected by the indigenous people. Using the Orang Asli Batek in Kuala Koh, Gua Musang, Kelantan as a case study, this research involved multiple prolonged stays with the community (2013-2016) and employed ethnographic techniques of individual and group interviews, observation and participant observation as well as document analysis to gather the data. The collected data was analysed using the principles of grounded theory where all responses that were recorded in verbatim was organised and analysed in stages of coding such as 'initial coding', 'selective coding' and 'theme' which upon further analysis, had enabled the description of the characteristics of the traditional knowledge related to medicinal plants of the Bateks. The result of this study found that the combination of the two methodologies are indeed useful and in fact are complementary with each other in understanding the characteristics of the traditional knowledge related to medicinal plants of the Bateks of Kuala Koh as part of the indigenous community in the country. In particular, employing the two methods has enabled the study to identify the characteristics (forms) of the TK that can be found in an indigenous community such as the Bateks of Kuala Koh. This research has provided a greater understanding on the existing state of protecting the TK being practiced by the Bateks. The study also provides useful contribution to the body of knowledge as the methodological approach used could be employed by future researches in understanding similar approach in understanding similar phenomena.

External Condition [EC] to eco-behaviours relates to the macro context of a person representing the person’s façade towards his context. EC manifests in the perception and attitude towards surrounding circumstances such as the accessibility to conducive natural surroundings, encouragement to pro environmental behaviours, convenience to be environmentally responsible and favourable law enforcement. Issue: 10 years has passed since the Green City Action Plan [MGCAP] and Sustainable Urban Development Framework [SUDF] were introduced. The Melaka EC to eco-behaviours needs to be assessed to determine the impact of the MGCAP and SUDF to EC of eco-behaviours. Purpose: This paper aims to compare the EC of Melaka residents to residents of other states in Malaysia. Approach: One-Way MANOVA was generated to determine the mean distribution of 10 EC items, across Malaysia States. Findings: There were significant differences within subjects of the 10 EC items between-subjects of Malaysia States. The Post-Hoc Test indicated almost all of the means of EC items for Melaka were higher than other states. The MGCAP and the SUDF shows a positive impact on the EC to a sustainable community.
