| Description |
AbstrakPencemaran air dari sisa kumbahan industri merupakan satu isu alam sekitar yang memberi kesan kepada Malaysia dari segi kualiti alam sekitar. Walau pun negara ini telah melaksanakan pelbagai peraturan pencegahan pencemaran,masalah ini masih tidak dapat diselesaikan dan syarikat-syarikat yang berkaitan masih mencemar alam sekitar. Oleh itu adalah penting untuk memahami mengapa peraturan yang dibuat tidak berkesan dan berusaha mencari penyelesaian untuk memperbaiki keadaan tersebut. Kelakuan pematuhan industri terhadap peraturan alam sekitar bukan sahaja penting untuk melindungi alam sekitar dan ekosistem, malahan memberi gambaran kepada kredibiliti peraturan itu sendiri dan agensi penguatkuasa. Model ekonometrik digunakan untuk menganggar keputusan melanggar peraturan oleh pemilik dan pengurus dalam industri makanan, tekstil dan kertas di Pulau Pinang, Kedah dan Perlis. Kajian mendapati walaupun peraturan berjaya menyedarkan kesedaran terhadap alam sekitar di kalangan peniaga, ia kurang berjaya mengurangkan pencemaran sisa kumbahan. Kajian juga mendapati peniaga mengetahui isu berkaitan perlindungan alam sekitar. Walau bagaimanapun pematuhan peraturan alam sekitar di kalangan mereka bukan satu yang diutamakan. Secara keseluruhan kos rawatan dan kebarangkalian diperiksa mempengaruhi gelagat kepatuhan peniaga. Kajian mencadangkan pemberian insentif cukai dalam pembelian alatan rawatan sisa kumbahan dan kekerapan aktiviti pemeriksaan ke atas kilang yang terlibat boleh meningkatkan kepatuhan.Kata kunci: Pematuhan; efluen perindustrian; pencemaran; peraturan alam sekitarAbstractWater pollution by industrial effluentis one of the major environmental problems affecting Malaysia in term of environmental quality. Although the country has implemented a range of anti-pollution legislation, the problem has notbeen resolved and companies continue to pollute on a large scale. This makes it important to understand why current environmental legislation is not working and what must be done to improve the situation. Studies on compliance withenvironmental regulations are not only important for protecting the environment and ecosystem, but also provide credibility to enforcement agencies about its regulatory programs. An econometric model was used to estimate theviolation decision of company owners and managers of food, textile and paper industry in Penang, Kedah and Perlis. The study finds that, although the legislation has been successful in raising environmental awareness among businesses, it has been less successful at reducing effluent pollution. The study shows that many company owners and managers have an adequate knowledge of environmental protection. It is also clear that companies do not consider environmental protection as a top priority. Overall, cost of effluent treatment and the probability of detection can influence compliance behaviour of companies with regard to environmental regulations. The study makes a number of suggestions for improving the effectiveness of environmental legislations. Recommendations include increasing tax incentives for effluent treatmentequipment andfrequency in enforcement activity to motivate business firms to comply with environmental regulations.Keywords: Compliance; industrial effluent; pollution; environmental legislation
