KEEFISIENAN GOVERNANS BANDAR DALAM MENINGKATKAN DAYA PERSAINGAN EKONOMI WILAYAH-BANDAR RAYA KUALA LUMPUR

AZMIZAM BIN ABDUL RASHID (P 43282)

ABSTRAK

Dalam menghadapi proses globalisasi, governans bandar berdepan dengan pelbagai cabaran yang semakin kompleks. Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT) merupakan institusi governans yang tidak terlepas daripada isu ketidakefisienan apabila berurusan dengan stakeholders. Berdasarkan peranan PBT yang semakin mencabar, institusi ini sentiasa dikaitkan dengan pelbagai karenah birokrasi, yang menimbulkan pelbagai masalah kepada orang ramai dan penyediaan perkhidmatan yang tidak efisien. Isu ini menjadi persoalan kajian dalam tesis ini. Ketidakefisienan governans bandar boleh menjejaskan daya saing sesebuah wilayah-bandar raya, terutama sekali dalam konteks globalisasi. Sejauhmanakah elemen keefisienan governans bandar (KGB) mempengaruhi daya persaingan ekonomi (DPE) sesebuah wilayah-bandar raya dan elemen manakah yang mempengaruhinya? Berdasarkan kes wilayah-bandar raya Kuala Lumpur, kajian ini juga akan menilai PBT manakah yang mempunyai kedudukan KGB yang paling baik? Kajian ini bertujuan membentuk satu pemahaman yang jelas berkenaan KGB, dan hubungkaitnya dengan peningkatan DPE wilayah-bandar raya. Kajian ini melibatkan 6 PBT utama di wilayah-bandar raya Kuala Lumpur iaitu DBKL, MBPJ, MBSA, MPSJ, MPK dan MPSp melibatkan 315 responden yang mewakili beberapa stakeholders. KGB sebagai pembolehubah bebas dan DPE sebagai pembolehubah bersandar telah digunakan untuk menilai hubungan antara KGB dan DPE melalui ujian analisis regresi pelbagai. Antara penemuan utama kajian, 10 elemen KGB menyumbang sebanyak 89.6 peratus kepada DPE wilayah-bandar raya Kuala Lumpur Ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara KGB dengan DPE wilayah-bandar raya Kuala Lumpur. Namun begitu hanya 5 elemen sahaja yang menjadi peramal terbaik kepada DPE wilayah-bandar raya Kuala Lumpur iaitu keberkesanan pentadbiran dan perkhidmatan PBT, maklumbalas awam, wawasan strategik, ketelusan dan kesamarataan. Analisis indeks penunjuk pengukuran KGB PBT di wilayah-bandar raya Kuala Lumpur menunjukkan MBPJ mencapai skor tertinggi iaitu 0.75 berbanding dengan lima PBT yang lain. Kesimpulan kajian mendapati peranan PBT tidak lagi dianggap sebagai badan kerajaan yang memberi perkhidmatan dan menyediakan infrastruktur semata-mata. PBT sepatutnya lebih memberi tumpuan meningkatkan KGB dalam memberi perkhidmatan kepada stakeholders. Secara langsung, DPE sesebuah wilayah-bandar raya dapat dipertingkatkan.


EFFICIENT URBAN GOVERNANCE TOWARDS ENHANCING ECONOMY COMPETITIVENESS IN KUALA LUMPUR CITY-REGION

  AZMIZAM BIN ABDUL RASHID (P 43282)

ABSTRACT

With the advent of globalization, urban governance is increasingly faced with complex challenges. The Local Authority (LA) as the governance institution is not spared from the issues of inefficiency in dealing with stakeholders. Inefficient urban governance can affect the economic competitiveness in the city-region, especially in the context of globalization. As the LA is ensconced in bureaucracy, this thesis investigates the extent how elements of efficient urban governance (EUG) can contribute to the enhancement of economic competitiveness in city-region (ECCR) and which of these elements can affect ECCR. In the case of Kuala Lumpur city-region, the studies also investigate which LA has achieved the EUG? This study aims to develop a clear understanding of the role of EUG, and its relationship with the ECCR. The study involved six main LAs in the Kuala Lumpur city-region such as DBKL, MBPJ, MBSA, MPSJ, MPK and MPSP involving 315 respondents representing various stakeholders. Element of EUG has been used as independent variables and ECCR as dependent variables in order to investigate their relationship by using multiple regression analysis. One of the findings shows that 10 elements of EUG contributed 89.6 percent to the enhancement of ECCR. There is a significant relationship between EUG with economic competitiveness in Kuala Lumpur city-region. However, only five elements are the best predictors to the ECCR such as administration and the effectiveness of LA services, public feedback, a strategic vision, transparency and equality. Meanwhile, analysis of the indicators measuring EUG in local authority areas shows that MBPJ achieved the highest score of 0.75 compared with five other LAs. The results indicate that the role of LA is no longer considered a government body providing services and infrastructure only but should focus more on urban governance to improve efficiency in providing services to stakeholders which can directly enhance the economic competitiveness in city-region.
