721 Myat Yar Zar Soe THE ROAD CONNECTIVITY OF HPA-AN TOWNSHIP, KAYIN STATE This paper tries to present “The Road Connectivity of Hpa-An Township, Kayin State” from geographical point of view. The quality of life and economy of society rely on good transport system. In Hpa-an Township, there are four modes of transportation: road, waterway, railway and airway. After construction of river-cross bridges on Thanlwin River, motor road has become the most important mode of transportation in Hpa-an Township. All village tracts within Hpa-an Township have no direct motor routes between them. Road density of Hpa-an Township is only more than 0.12 km per square km. Apart from Myotma administrative units, most of the administrative units are characterized by minimum efficiency of road network in terms of connectivity. The node has more connectivity in Hpa-an Township is (V5) Hpa-an Town and the nodes have less connectivity are (V1 and V16) Duyinseik and Mizine. The main objectives of the paper are to explore the modes of transportation in Hpa-an Township, to examine road networks of the study area and to find out the degree of road connectivity of road network of Hpa-an Township. Degree of road connectivity is calculated by mean of Connectivity Matrix. To present the paper, secondary data were mainly applied and field observation was thoroughly done. Connectivity Matrix is mainly used in presenting Connectivity of Hpa-an Township. 2020
722 Saw Yu May ASSESSMENT ON RURAL WATER RESOURCES AND WATER SUPPLY CONDITION OF PINLAUNG TOWNSHIP, SHAN STATE, MYANMAR Fresh water resource is essential for daily life. Access to safe water is an important issue today. Pinlaung Township is located in the south western part of Southern Shan State which is one of the highest mountain settlement areas of Southern Shan State which is generally above 1219.2 meters (4000 feet) mean sea level. Pinlaung Township is composed of 26 village tracts and the total population was 183,518 people in 2018 and over 80% is residing in rural area. Pinlaung Township is one of the highest populated areas within Southern Shan State. Based on these reasons, the water resources and its supply should assess for the further development in this area. The main aim of this study is to find out the present situation of water resources and water supply of Pinlaung Township which will support to the planning for water resources management in future. The objectives of this study are to observe the current situation of water resources and water supply of Pinlaung Township, to assess the water supply of this area and to give suggestion management of the water resources and water supply of Pinlaung Township. In order to obtain the reliable data, GIS and some hydrological analysis were applied to acquire the distribution of water resources within Pinlaung Township. Moreover, field observation, key informants interviews survey and open talk interviews were also conducted to the local people. From the results of the interviews survey, water resources and water supply of Pinlaung Township is quite good in present situation due to abundant rainfall and many springs if there is no other impacts like climate change. As population is gradually increasing, Pinlaung is necessary to prepare for water resources and needs to conserve the existing water resources area systematically and wisely. 2020
723 Khin Khin Moe ANALYSIS ON THE GROUNDWATER QUALITY OF HPA-AN TOWN This paper presents the water quality of tube-wells in Hpa-An Town located in the southern continuation of Eastern Highland. In the area, different water sources are found with high content of chemical parameters that are harmful for human health. Most of town dwellers consume shallow tube-well water. It is important to know the quality of tube-well water and thus samples of tube-wells water extracted in different parts of the town are studied. The objectives of this paper are to explore the spatial variation of water quality in the study area, to find out the relationship between selected water quality parameters and tube-well depth and to assess the impact of ground water quality on local people. The data on groundwater consumption and local people’s perception were collected through field observation, structured interviews and departments concerns. Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) are used to analysis the parameter of pH, Salinity, Total Dissolved Solid, Turbidity, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chlorine, Iron and Salinity. To assess the correlation between spatial variation and water quality parameters (six pairs – Total Dissolved Solid and Electrical Conductivity, Salinity and Electrical Conductivity, Salinity and Total Dissolved Solid, Calcium and Total Hardness, Calcium and Magnesium, Total Hardness and Magnesium) Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient Method, Scatter Diagram Analysis (R2 ) is used. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (SPSS, Ward Method) is used to identify the spatial variation of water quality of study area. The test results indicate that Turbidity, Iron and magnesium contents are higher than the acceptable level of WHO (2017) and Myanmar National Drinking Water Quality Standard (MNDWQS-2006). In addition, test results of pH value are lower than the permissible level of WHO and MNDWQ Standards. All groundwater samples are not suitable for drinking and cooking purposes. 2020
724 Tin Tin Khine GEOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ZONE AND ITS EFFECTS ON LOCAL PEOPLE OF PATHEIN TOWNSHIP, AYEYARWADY REGION The paper tries to present changes in Industrial sector of Pathein City and its effects on local people from geographical point of view. Industrial Zone of Pathein Township was established in 2013 and there were 7 factories. Most factories are located outside the industrial zone. Major factories located in industrial zone are textile industries and other factories such as ice factory, rice mills, etc. They give job opportunities for people living in the area and it attracts migrants from other nearby towns. Every factory has more than 2000 labours in the industrial zone and they are unskilled and skilled labours. The objectives of the paper is to understand changes in spatial distribution of factories of Pathein City, to investigate the factors supporting the Industrial Sector, to explore its effects on local people and to find out future prospects of the Industrial Sector of Pathein City. To present the paper, primary data and secondary data were used and focus group discussion was done with authorities, local people and labour, to get thorough understanding on its effects on local people. To present the paper, quantitative qualitative mixed methods and geographical methods will be applied. 2020
725 Khin Khin Soe CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN SHOPPING MALLS: CASE STUDIES ON MYANMAR PLAZA(BAHAN), CAPITAL (DAWBON)AND GA MONE PWINT (MAYANGON) A shopping mall is not just a place where people fulfill their basic shopping needs but recreational destination where people come to spend time, socialize and has a become a major leisure activity. In the last ten years, a few western style shopping malls have been created in Yangon at different locations. Consumer buying behaviour has become the most important factor for every sector, consumer has the dynamic change in their behaviour, taste, preference, motives, personality, attitudes when they are making a purchase in the shopping malls. Large malls offer many varieties of products and services, special offers and large car parks, accessible transport and various service points located in shopping malls successfully occupied customers. The aim of this paper is to examine the behaviour of customers and their preferences when selecting their shopping locations. The paper also presents profiles of customers who has a preference for shopping and spending their free time in malls. The purpose of this paper is to study the phenomenon of a modern shopping mall and shopping behaviour especially opinion of the young adults (in the study people from 20 to 30 years old) have been selected as the target group for the study. The main conclusion of this paper is that shopping environment is widely influenced by how people appreciate their shopping experience. The conclusions are based on (international) literatures on the subject and the findings of a survey conducted by the authors of the paper. A questionnaire was used as a research tool and also used expert interviews. The survey covered 300 respondents in total conducted in 2019. 2020
726 Kyi Kyi Hlaing SOME ASPECTS OF WHITE NOISE QUADRATIC FUNCTIONALS* We are interested in quadratic white noise functionals. First we define the two subspaces H2(-2,1) and H2(-2,2) of the space of quadratic functionals of white noise. By introducing a random measure dz(?), we consider a Hilbert space spanned by {? f (u) d (u) z }. Then we can see the duality between the two spaces H2(-2,1) and H2(-2,2) In addition, when we consider the Lévy Laplacian on H2(-2,1) we can obtain the adjoint of the Lévy Laplacian on H2(-2,2) 2020

729 Su Su Win PREVENTIVE MECHANISM FOR POTENTIAL SECURITY THREATS AND ATTACKS ON VIRTUAL CLOUD LDAP SERVER Today, universal cloud computing and digital world cannot exist without virtualization architecture. They are basic tools to support varying demands without sluggish, expensive physical reconfiguration and software stack investment. On the other hand, Information and data are live source of today business in an organization. These data are created more and more every day. Data can be saved, but the weakest link in the cloud security is end point. Users can move on and data can be lost. This can bring more exposure to security threats, no reliable and safety. So, cloud security is becoming an important research topic. To demonstrate the weakness and vulnerabilities of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server on virtual cloud environment, paper is developed by allowing Kerberos Single-Sign-On with LDAP directory service environment with client/server model in order to prevent third party password sniffing, eavesdropping and stealing password from LDAP database. 2020
730 Shune Lae Aung ASSISTIVE INTERFACE FOR PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS Although technology is rapidly developing, mobile applications are difficult to use for visually impaired people. The potential of technology to give invaluable support for people with visual impairments remains unexplored especially accessing the advanced functions of a smart phone is not a trivial task for them. Currently, visually impaired users rely on screen readers and voice commands to discover and execute functions on smartphones. Despite its common use, screen readers are not convenient in public places because of continuous read out functions. Also, voice commands are difficult for a system to recognize in noisy environments. Therefore, visually impaired people are unable to fully access advanced smartphone functions until now. In this paper, to increase the accessible rate, marking menu is implemented as an assistive interface for visually impaired people. 2020
