Abstract:
Modernisation is characterized by industrial development. The Serasa Industrial Park
(SIP) is an industrial estate in Serasa sub-district, close to the Brunei Darussalam's only
deep-water port. Given the link between industrial development and environmental
degradation, as well as the general lack of environmental monitoring in Brunei, the paper
questions whether environmental management (EM) is adequate to protect the area from
further industrialisation. The purpose of this paper is to answer this question using SIP
as a proxy because it is a well-established industrial site that should be more amenable
to EM. This study involves two surveys of 20 firms and an interview with the
environmental agency to gain a better understanding on the national policy and strategy.
The paper found that, while the current state of EM is structurally weak, it is adequate for
the SIP under current conditions. To protect the environment and increase
industrialisation in the area, EM structures must be incorporated into existing regulatory
frameworks.
