Abstract
Regarded as a new development urban planning approach in developing countries, brownfield regeneration, particularly the redevelopment of ex-landfills as public parks in Malaysia, leads to the question of this research: could such development benefit the local communities’ quality of life and living environment? We selected as study respondents 163 heads of household within a one-kilometer radius of two pilot ex-landfills as public park areas, namely, Worldwide Landfill Park and Kuantan Passive Park. Results show significant differences in respondents’ perception, which indicates the positive impact of such redevelopment.
