Pengaruh politik alam sekitar terhadap persepsi pengundi: Kajian kes DUN Kedah

The politicisation of environmental issues in elections campaigns is driven by the primary motive to gain voter support. This paper analyses the findings of a field study aimed at determining the influence of environmental factors on voter political opinion and choice in Kedah Darul Aman. The study interviewed face-to-face 600 voters in the 16th Kedah State Legislative Assembly (DUN) . The results showed that most respondents expected the state government to give more attention to their local environment depicting their serious concern about the crucial role of the environment in ensuring a more comfortable life. They suggested that elected representatives visit their respective areas and adopt a hands on approach in overcoming the environmental problems there.
