Alkouri, Omar and Omar, Husaini (2007) Geo-hazard map of cover-
collapse sinkholes in the Kinta Valley, Perak Malaysia. In: The
6th Asian Regional Conference on Geohazards in Engineering
Geology, October16-19, 2007, Hoam Convention Center, Seoul,
Korea. (Unpublished) Full text not available from this
repository. Sinkholes have a negative effect on urban
development, Intense development witin the Kinta Valley,
however, has resulted in geo-hazard occurences, Geo-hazards have
become a threat to humans in addition to their negative impact
on the socio-economic dimension, particularly, in Kinta valley
Karst have been deteriorating by dramatic changes occured in
past and continues in the future due to close relationship
between the fast rate of lateral urbanization expansion and
extensive dimensional retreating by surface mining and quarrying
activities. Consequently, many environmental problems occured,
especially conserning geo-hazards (Sinkholes, rock fall) along
with technological advances in Remote Sensing and
