About UTM Recreational Forest

Trail Project Image
  • The UTM Recreational Forest is located in the UTM Campus Forest Reserve, Johor Bahru, Johor, covering an area of 37.5 square kilometers, and is one of the recreational spots on campus. In addition to its hilly topography, the forest also features valleys and several springs for river irrigation.
  • This forest also has its own uniqueness as it serves as a habitat for various species of flora and fauna, some of which are over 20 years old.
  • The Recreational Forest was established to accommodate the needs for leisure activities, recreation, camping, and co-curricular activities for UTM students/staff in particular and the surrounding community of Johor Bahru in general.

Common Hazards

Trail 3

Slippery Surfaces

Wet rocks, moss, and muddy sections create fall hazards, especially after rainfall.

Trail 3

Rocky Surfaces

Loose gravel, eroded paths, and unstable slopes increase the risk of falls and injuries.

Trail 3

Water Crossing

River crossings pose risks of slipping and falling.

Trail 3

Slope Surfaces

Inadequate trail marking can lead to getting lost or wandering into dangerous areas.

Mitigation Strategies

Trail Infrastructure Improvement

  • Installation of handrails and steps in steep sections
  • Building proper bridges at water crossings
  • Reinforcing trail edges in high-risk areas

Hazard Reduction Measurement

  • Improved signage and trail markers
  • Hazard warning signs at high-risk areas
  • Mobile app alerts for changing conditions

Monitoring and Continuous Assessment

  • Regular trail inspections and condition reports
  • Prompt removal of fallen trees
  • Seasonal maintenance of water management systems
