Few studies have stressed how access to high-quality acoustic environment affects wellbeing, quality of life, and environmental health. The acoustic environment influenced by noise pollution reduces the restorative effect generated by the natural environment. Noise policies which focus on noise level as a determinant of wanted and unwanted sounds are inadequate to control the acoustic quality of the environment. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the psychological effect of environmental sound and the direction of study for environmental sound research from 1993 to 2020. Review works of literature were identified through multiple interdisciplinary health, environmental, and urban planning databases in available open access journals. The focus of the study will look into keywords of "environmental sound", "noise", “acoustic environment” and "mental health". The review showed that previous study focused on the negative effect of noise and noise mitigation methods through the noise level controls in the guidelines. On the other hand, recent reviews continue to discuss the impact of noise further and add on a positive view of the psychological effect of environmental sound. Noise mitigation methods also focused on enhancing positive sounds and methods for a more comprehensive study of the environmental sound.

The energy sector is the largest source of emissions and accounting for nearly 68% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Where 36% of all global final energy use is generated from buildings. Currently, the topic of energy-saving behaviour is attracting the attention of researchers, how to encourage users towards energy-saving behaviour (ESB). Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is empirically recognized as a model widely used in predicting social behaviour. However, the TPB has received much debate and criticism about the narrow sufficiency of the three original determinants: Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Perceived Behaviour Control. This article discusses empirical support by several authors who acknowledged other related factor that need to be considered in developing a theoretical framework by adding Past Behaviour in predicting the energy saving behaviour of users to improve the ESB. An extensive literature search was conducted on 100 published literature in year 2011-2021, to explore the significance of past behaviour as an additional psychological factor of ESB in a building context. Content analysis conducted based on previous research published in leading journals (e.g. Scopus and Web of Science). About 30% of previous studies have found Past Behaviour as a significant contributing predictor of ESB beside the TPB original determinants. This study will help to provide a better understanding about social psychological determinants of energy saving behaviour hence serve as a guide to the building operator and relevant agencies in shaping strategy to promote energy saving behaviour among the occupants.
能源部门是最大的排放源,占全球温室气体排放量的近68%。全球36%的最终能源消耗来自建筑。当前,节能行为的研究备受关注,如何鼓励用户进行节能行为(ESB)。计划行为理论(Theory of Planned behavior, TPB)是一个被广泛应用于社会行为预测的理论模型。然而,城市规划委员会已经收到了许多关于三个原始决定因素:态度,主观规范和感知行为控制的狭隘充分性的争论和批评。本文讨论了几位作者的经验支持,他们承认在开发理论框架时需要考虑其他相关因素(通过添加过去的行为来预测用户的节能行为以改进ESB)。对2011-2021年发表的100篇文献进行了广泛的文献检索,以探索过去行为作为建筑环境中ESB的额外心理因素的重要性。内容分析基于之前在主要期刊(如Scopus和Web of Science)上发表的研究。大约30%的先前研究发现,除了TPB原始决定因素外,过去行为是ESB的重要预测因素。这项研究有助我们更深入了解影响节能行为的社会心理因素,从而为楼宇营办商及有关机构制定策略,促进住户的节能行为提供指引。

Daylighting in buildings is a critical functional requirement in the tropical climate. It has numerous benefits, whereas poor implementation is bound to create high energy consumption and user's discomfort, unlike in the temperate region. Daylight data for design is fundamental toward achieving optimal daylighting due to variations for different locations. Like most regions in the tropics, Nigeria has limited data in this regard. Therefore, this study investigated the availability of daylight and skies using daylight modelling methods. The global illuminance and irradiance data were input to model the outdoor daylight and sky types. The modelled, measured, and RadianceIES outdoor illuminance data were comparatively analysed relative to the design time and date. The results show that the sky is predominantly intermediate. More so, the monthly mean outdoor illumination varies from 47 to 67 klux at noon and as low as 9 klux during the morning and late afternoon. The study concluded that the mean outdoor illuminance for design is 30.7klux, 60.0klux, and 46.0klux at 0900, 1200, and1500 hours, respectively. In architecture, the use and applications of these data are to improve thermal, visual comfort, low-energy and task illuminance design in buildings, thus resulting in enhanced performance, cost savings, and user satisfaction.

As a multi-racial country with Islam as the official religion, Islamic qualities should be considered in the design of hospitals to promote Islamic awareness, enhance self-esteem, strengthen commitment to Islam and ultimately gain Allah’s mercy and forgiveness. Implementation of these Islamic qualities in the designs of hospitals will enhance the healing process. Articles discussing design criteria for hospitals or Islamic quality were found, however, there are no reviews regarding the implementation of Islamic qualities in hospital design in Malaysia. The purpose of this research is to review the literature on implementation of Islamic qualities when designing hospitals in Malaysia. A list of keywords related to the issue has been identified to sieve through the total of 145 peer reviewed journal articles from Scopus, Web of Science and Mendeley databases. Eventually, by filtering using inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 27 articles were selected to be reviewed in this article. A thematic review of these 27 articles was performed using ATLAS.ti tools. This analysis has identified 29 initial codes related to hospital design and Islamic qualities which are then grouped into 6 clusters: environmental design, hospital environment, space planning and design, therapeutic design, Islamic values, and Islamic Concept Hospital. The results highlight the importance of future research which hopefully will influence the Malaysian administrators and designers to develop a better hospital environment with the implementation of Islamic qualities for the benefit of all Malaysians.
作为一个以伊斯兰教为官方宗教的多种族国家,在医院的设计中应该考虑伊斯兰教的特质,以促进伊斯兰教的意识,增强自尊,加强对伊斯兰教的承诺,最终获得安拉的怜悯和宽恕。在医院的设计中贯彻这些伊斯兰特质将促进治疗过程。讨论医院设计标准或伊斯兰质量的文章被发现,但是,没有关于在马来西亚医院设计中实施伊斯兰质量的审查。本研究的目的是回顾在马来西亚设计医院时实施伊斯兰品质的文献。与该问题相关的关键字列表已被确定,并从Scopus、Web of Science和Mendeley数据库中筛选了145篇同行评议的期刊文章。最终,通过使用纳入和排除标准进行筛选,总共选择了27篇文章作为本文的综述。使用ATLAS对这27篇文章进行了专题审查。ti的工具。该分析确定了29个与医院设计和伊斯兰品质相关的初始规范,然后将其分为6组:环境设计、医院环境、空间规划和设计、治疗设计、伊斯兰价值观和伊斯兰概念医院。结果强调了未来研究的重要性,希望这将影响马来西亚的行政人员和设计师,以发展一个更好的医院环境,实施伊斯兰品质,造福所有马来西亚人。

The state tourism officials have continuously promoted places of interest and attractions within Kedah even during the enforcement of MCO in Malaysia. The ongoing marketing effort is worthwhile as potential tourists can plan and choose the places they would like to visit after the lockdown has been lifted. Hence, it is vital to evaluate the current promotion of Kedah as a tourist destination as marketing plays a crucial role in enhancing the appeal of a particular site and attracting tourists. Firstly, this paper investigates how the state of Kedah has been marketed by the national and state tourism promotional bodies. Additionally, the portrayals of Kedah by international travel organizations were also examined. The semiotic analysis method was employed in the assessment, where it focused on how Kedah has been presented on the websites of these organizations. In general, the findings of this paper uncovered several prominent visual and textual signifiers showing and describing field fields on the websites of both national and state promotional organizations. The attraction points such as Paddy Museum, Zahir Mosque, Balai Nobat, Mahathir’s Birth Place, and Pekan Rabu have been featured strongly in portraying the capital city, Alor Setar. The signified meanings of the uniqueness and exoticism of local cuisines are reflected through visual and textual signifiers, including laksa Kedah, pekasam (fermented fish), and traditional snacks such as kuih dangai and kuih karas. As Kedah is popularly known as the ‘Rice Bowl of Malaysia’, it is reasonable that visual and textual signifiers of paddy fields and attractions associated with paddy have been presented widely on the websites. Overall, the key theme in marketing Kedah as a tourist destination via public and private travel promotional websites is reflected as the projection of cultural-rural tourism.

Prawirotaman is a traditional urban settlement in Yogyakarta. In the 19th Century, it was a Sultan’s soldier family settlement. Nowadays, it is a tourism destination known as a tourism village that serves tourism facilities, such as homestay, cafe, pub, and other tourism businesses. This transformation affects the locals in using the transition area as a place for social interaction activities. The transformation of Prawirotaman is a key to observe how the residents form the spontaneous social interaction place through the tendency of transition area use. While this paper emphasizes primarily the identification relating to the variables 1) boundary element, 2) spontaneous interaction, and 3) territorial depth, this research proposes a comprehensive conclusion for reflecting the forming of transition area at the kampung in accommodating the social interaction in term of the kampung settlement transformation. Thus, the fundamental question of this research is how the spontaneous interaction places occurred, the factors and typology. The primary data collection was collected through field observation and interviews to find the sample of potential interaction space. The method of data collection in this research uses snapshot observation and ArcGIS for redrawing the satellite map and spatial analysis. The finding results there are general typologies that describe the forming of spontaneous interaction places in Prawirotaman, namely 1) Filtered visual transparency, 2) Full visual transparency, 3) Closed visual transparency, 4) In the transition area.

Adaptive re-use in heritage buildings is perceived as a viable alternative in restoring the existing building to accommodate for new or continued building use while addressing its heritage agenda. In the conservation approach of adaptive re-use, new interventions of historic interiors are often subject to insensible alteration particularly in its interior design outcome resulting in compromised heritage representation in Malaysia. The government’s efforts to protect and manage historic buildings are illustrated by the implementation of the National Heritage Act 2005 and the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines 2016. However, there are insufficient guidance concerning new interior design works of a historic interior within Malaysia. The primary aim of this paper is to identify the current limitation of the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines in Malaysia pertaining to historic interior works and to contribute to the discussion surrounding this matter. The paper presents comparative analysis and interpretation of literature and grey documents (guidelines and policies) in adaptive re-use of heritage buildings in Malaysia. The data generated is compared with similar conservation approach guidelines from England and United States of America. The analysis revealed that the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines is a comprehensive document that underscores physical action to preserve the fabric and materials of heritage buildings. However, while the broad definitions for new design proposal to be sympathetic and visual appropriateness to the existing building character are acceptable, it may lead to unintended interpretation and consequences. The paper suggests that the existing guideline need to be accompanied with additional guidance to aid practitioners especially architects and interior designers in dealing with historic interior using the comparative analysis with goals to intensify the value of historic interior that involves new intervention.

The homestay program is an essential driver for local community empowerment and distributed benefit individually or collectively. Most of the local communities in rural areas are encouraged to participate in this program due to their value-added income and platform to promote the local culture to tourists. However, incompetent leaders to lead Community-Based Rural Homestay (CBRH) become a challenge to homestay operators as they need a proactive leader to manage the activities and tourists at the same time. Poor leadership qualities affect the homestay program from being active in generating income and other benefits for the local community. Indeed, there is a need for the leader in a community project to act as the representative for the local community to guide them as the community may not be ready for the intended changes or development. Ten competencies were identified to explore the characteristics of local champions in the context of CBRH. A single case study has been used whereby this research was taken place at Homestay Sungai Haji Dorani. A mixed-method design is adopted in this research which is involved a questionnaire distributed to the homestay operators and the interview session with the local champion of Homestay Sungai Haji Dorani. The finding was revealed that fairness becomes a dominant competency of the local champion. In a nutshell, the local champion's role is crucial to facilitate the participation of the local community in tourism development. Furthermore, the local champion is also considered one of Malaysia's CBRH factor's internal success factor.
寄宿家庭计划是当地社区赋权和个人或集体分配利益的重要推动力。鼓励大多数农村地区的当地社区参与该计划,因为他们可以获得增值收入和向游客宣传当地文化的平台。然而,不称职的领导者领导社区农村民宿(CBRH)对民宿经营者来说是一个挑战,因为他们需要一个积极主动的领导者来管理活动和游客。糟糕的领导素质会影响寄宿家庭项目为当地社区创造收入和其他利益的积极性。事实上,社区项目的领导者需要作为当地社区的代表来指导他们,因为社区可能还没有为预期的变化或发展做好准备。确定了十项能力,以探索CBRH背景下当地冠军的特征。在Sungai Haji Dorani民宿进行了一个单一的案例研究。本研究采用混合方法设计,向民宿经营者发放问卷,并与当地民宿Sungai Haji Dorani进行访谈。这一发现揭示了公平成为当地冠军的主要能力。简而言之,地方领袖的角色对促进当地社区参与旅游业发展至关重要。此外,当地冠军也被认为是马来西亚CBRH因素的内部成功因素之一。

A buffer was created around each location centre of 25 areas within the boundary of Seremban town (Bandar Seremban), defining an area considered to cover a walking distance of 500m radius; the urban tissues of 13 areas were selected for analysis. The location centres were identified based on geospatial data from the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia obtained in November 2020. Two distinct morphological characters exist in the current town plan of Seremban – the grid-iron (regular) and organic (irregular) patterns. The grid-iron pattern is predominantly visible in the historic urban core while the organic pattern dominates on the periphery. Also, areas identified within the boundary are sparsely distributed in the northern part while in the southern area, they are densely clustered. Therefore, the highest number of overlaps in the northern area is three, whereas up to six are identified in the southern area. This paper is a unique analysis of the built form with two distinct morphological characters. It is important in town-plan analysis of the urban form in Seremban as the study is context specific.

Transport policies arise because of the importance of virtually every aspects of global economic, social, and political exercise. Transport is seen as key mechanism for promotion, development and shaping of national economy. The purpose of this research is to study the roles of road transport policy on economic development in Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Nigeria: Stakeholders Perception. The study employed both primary and secondary as data sources. The valid respondents for the analysis was 160. Five Likert-scale type questionnaires were used for collecting data. The analysis was conducted with the aid of Microsoft Excel and IBM statistical package for social science (SPSS) Version 26. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 5 Directors for interviews from the Federal Capital Territory Transport Secretariat who are the custodian of road transport policy. Secondary sources were obtained wholly from published materials and official Government documents and files. Federal Capital Territory Transport Secretariat, The National Planning Commission, Federal Ministry of Transport, and its Parastatals, and the Bureau for Public Enterprises were the main sources of data. The finding from the document review and interview reveals that lacks of full implementation, funding constraints, corruption and enactments of institutional framework that will give investors’ confidence to invest in roads are factors affecting the road transport policy. The interviewees agreed that policies of road transportation enhance economic development by providing easy access to the workplace, schools, and markets. However, finding from the questionnaires result reveals that, road infrastructures and safety were positively and significantly related with economic development. The study concluded that government should expediate action to establish institutional framework that will not only execute the reforms implementation with the Act but generate necessary fund for road infrastructural development through taxes.
交通政策的产生是因为全球经济、社会和政治实践的几乎每个方面都很重要。交通运输被视为促进、发展和塑造国民经济的关键机制。本研究的目的是研究道路运输政策对尼日利亚联邦首都地区阿布贾经济发展的作用:利益相关者的看法。本研究采用第一手资料和二手资料作为数据来源。该分析的有效回答者为160人。使用5份李克特问卷收集数据。分析使用Microsoft Excel和IBM statistical package for social science (SPSS) Version 26进行。采用有目的抽样技术从联邦首都地区运输秘书处选出5名负责道路运输政策的主管进行访谈。第二手资料全部来自出版的材料和政府的正式文件和档案。联邦首都地区运输秘书处、国家计划委员会、联邦交通部及其半州政府和公共企业局是数据的主要来源。文件审查和访谈的结果表明,缺乏充分实施、资金限制、腐败和制度框架的制定将使投资者有信心投资于道路,这些都是影响道路运输政策的因素。受访者一致认为,道路交通政策通过提供通往工作场所、学校和市场的便捷通道,促进了经济发展。然而,从问卷调查结果中发现,道路基础设施和安全与经济发展呈正相关且显著。该研究的结论是,政府应加快行动,建立体制框架,不仅要执行该法案的改革实施,还要通过税收为道路基础设施发展提供必要的资金。
