摘要：This article puts forth three approaches that will help protect the environment of Langkawi Geopark to ensurecommunity well-being. The three approaches discussed herein are: (1) integrated water resources management (IWRM), (2) integrated chemicals management (ICM), and (3) integrated solid waste management (ISWM). These approaches are discussed and recommended to safeguard the environment for the sake of community well-being including the local population and tourists to Langkawi Geopark as part efforts to fulfill the aspirations of sustainable development. Sustainability of all forms of life including humans is hoped to be attained through the harmonisation of the human system with the ecological system. This would require, among others, the wise utilisation of resources without degrading the environment so that future generations could also develop sustainably via similar or better ways. In this research on environmental and community well-being, and sources of livelihood, secondary data were collected from various documents prepared by the different stakeholders with specific responsibilities and play important roles on issues related to the development, conservation and protection of Langkawi Geopark. Approaches designed based on the findings of this research are implemented within the context of Langkawi Geopark and its position as the Jewel of Kedah State. Also, within the context of Langkawi island as a special tourism destination in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, that has also been the focus of various economic development activities with the objective to improve the quality of life of affected communities, without degrading the environment
