| dc.description | Urban agriculture has been popular among urban dwellers since the issues of food
security and the migration of rural people to the urban areas cropped up. As in most
part of the world, urban farming in Asia is also becoming an important activity among
the urban dwellers. It is not only to ensure full utilization of the available space for
agriculture but also for sustaining the food needs of the urban dwellers. In Japan, for
example, urban agricultural practices include planting on the top of buildings and on
the periphery of household with limited pieces of land. Thus, urban households are
encouraged to practice urban agriculture in their own way in order to be subsistence
in some food items and be involved in the urban agriculture campaign stipulated by
the City Council and government in particular. Since the campaign and concept of
urban agriculture are quite new in Malaysia, the objective of this study is to determine
urban dwellers intention towards practicing urban agriculture especially among the
strata households in selected areas around Putrajaya Federal Territory and its
periphery. Multi-stage sampling technique involving stratified sampling and simple
random sampling was used to select the respondents residing in the strata house.
Face to face interview was carried out using structured questionnaire among four
hundred (400) respondents. In this study, the descriptive analysis and factor analysis
were applied to analyze the data. The finding of the study shows that majority of the
respondents were female (69%). Most of the respondents were Malay (83%)
followed by Indian (9.5%), Chinese (3.6%) and others. Also, Most of the respondent
were married and have a household size between 4 to 6 people. In term of income
distribution, most of the respondents earn less than three thousand ringgit
(RM3000). The factor analysis generated four (4) latent factors that prescribed
respondent intention towards practicing urban agriculture in surrounding areas within
their household vicinity. These factors were positive perception towards the urban
agricultural concept, confidence in practicing urban agriculture, influence by societal
environment, and role model. These factors accounted for 67.45% of the variance in
explaining the perception of respondents to practice urban agriculture. Hence, these
factors can be used as campaign strategies to enhance urban agriculture practices
among the dwellers in strata housing unit. | en_US |
