Programs of land development may adversely affect health when human ecology is not adequately included in economic planning. Studying the interaction of a population with the hazards of particular environments offers a way to assess the potential for disease and to identify critical groups and conditions for further research or preventive interference. Health conditions on the land schemes of the Federal Land Development Authority in Malaysia generally have improved as a result of environmental alterations, but there is a wide range of conditions associated with age of settlement and accessibility. Infectious, nutritional, and psychosocial hazards are most characteristic of new and remote settlement schemes. Diseases maintained by individual behavior and hazards such as vehicular accidents characterize developed and accessible schemes
