Corporate Social Responsibility For Improving Human Settlements Through Voluntary And Private Sector Partnerships In Selected Southeast Asian Developing Countries.
PhD thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
Kebanyakan negara di Asia Tenggara adalah negara sedang membangun yang mengalami
masalah petempatan. Walaupun kerajaan negara tersebut telah berusaha untuk
menyelesaikan masalah petempatan, namun masalah perumahan, perkhidmatan bandar dan
infrastruktur masih menjadi masalah besar dan memerlukan tindakan dan penyelesaian
yang baik. Pendekatan pembangunan baru menggunakan kerjasama daripada pelbagai
pihak ke arah mencapai petempatan mapan, yang melibatkan baik pulih fizikal dan
pembangunan kapasiti komuniti. Dalam usaha ini, pendekatan sektor swasta menggunakan
saluran tanggungjawab korporat sosial (CSR) melalui kerjasama dengan sektor
kesukarelawan sebagai kaedah untuk menyampai, mempermudah dan menambah baik
pembangunan petempatan. Pendekatan ini memberi ruang kepada penggunaan sumber yang
pelbagai dan saling menyokong dalam pembangunan petempatan. Kerjasama melalui
CSR boleh memberi manfaat kepada pelbagai pihak, termasuk masyarakat tempatan,
syarikat dan organisasi kesukarelawan. Walaupun kerjasama antara sektor swasta dan
kesukarelawan adalah penting, namun data sekunder menunjukkan bahawa kerjasama ini
masih tidak popular di wilayah Asia Tenggara dan kajian lepas tentang topik ini juga
kurang.
The Southeast Asian region, which mainly consists of developing countries, is one of the
world’s regions suffering from poor human settlements. Despite the efforts by the public
sector to solve these problems, they persist which require more actions and better solutions.
New development approaches drawing more actors’ efforts through partnership are sought
to promote sustainable human settlements, which include physical upgrading and
community capacity building. Private sector involvement through corporate social
responsibility (CSR), and the use of voluntary and private sector partnership as a tool to
deliver, facilitate and improve the CSR are believed to be the new development approach.
These enable diverse, complementary and more resources to be drawn together to give
supports to human settlement development. The adoption of the CSR through partnership
can bring benefits to all parties, including the served communities and the involved
corporations and voluntary organizations (VOs). Although the development of the
partnership is important and provides potential benefits, reviews based on secondary data
show that it is still not popular in most Southeast Asian countries. Previous research on this
topic is also scarce.
