Compliance to the environmental conditions in EIA: A case study of housing and commercial development in Sabah
One of the major development activities in Sabah is housing and commercial development. Many elements are involved in implementing these activities, such as opening and clearing of an area, earthworks, hill cutting, reclamation and stone quarrying.
