Engraving is a process of sculpting, carving and scratching a pattern. In ancient times the art of wood carving became a symbol of status of noble and courtiers. According to Halim Nasir (1986) the courtiers and sultans became patrons to revive the glory of wood carving. This shows that wood carving is high dignity. The Malays emphasizes every work of art and is designed by the soul attempts to communicate with the public in feel, thinking and interpretations, (Nazzri, 2016). However, the price of traditional wood carving product is too high and difficult to educate the public to love wood carving products. The discrepancy between the two modern and traditional industries makes the development of sculpture difficult to compete with modern products. Besides that, wood carving is also used at will in its placement in the design. This study will lead to several main objectives among which is to know the issues faced by these two industries and know the correct placement of carving in the design so as not to violate its philosophy and ethics. Methodology of the study is using interview data and ethnography with master craft. This research and development will involve ten members of timber manufacturing company around Malaysia which is from modern and traditional timber product companies. This research was conducted for 5 days from 14th -18th October 2020 in Temerloh, Pahang. Through this research found three mains issue they facing in order to preserve the wood carving and culture in product and design. The traditional wood carving can be applied on furniture or equipment and preserve the philosophy trough educate the modern practitioner and involvement of ‘pandai kayu’. The application of heritage in the first phase is very important so that it reaches the community indirectly and is not considered outdated.

Agriculture is an important contributor of rural development. The rural area will benefit economically, socially, and environmentally if the approach of sustainability in agricultural activities is put into practise. This, in turn, will help to make rural development more sustainable in the long run. In a similar light, rural development strategies are also variables that can make it easier for sustainable practises to be implemented in a cost-effective and timely manner. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the significance of dimensions of sustainable rural development as assisting elements in farmer’s decision-making towards adopting Sustainable Agricultural Practices (SAP). Previous empirical studies were analysed for this purpose, and 50 studies conducted in various countries were evaluated in order to discover the main elements impacting the decisions to adopt SAP. The NVivo 12 software was used to code influencing factors gathered from previous studies into dimensions essential to sustainable development of rural area according to the Rural Web model. Findings of this research have found most of the influencing factors that affects farmer’s decision to adopt SAP came from the dimension with institutional elements. Meanwhile, novelty aspect was found to have the least factors recorded in previous studies, which has drawn attention to a gap in previous research. The association between farmers who use innovative methods and their decisions to embrace SAP should be explored further in future studies.

Kangkar is a traditional Chinese historic settlement in Johor, which established during Kangchu system from 1844 to 1917 represents strong historical significance in the Chinese architectural paradigm. However, the number of kangkar settlements decrease drastically from 100-120 to less than 20 in current context. This article aims to identify the possible reasons of kangkar decline in order to give insight in developing conservation policy for the historic settlement. Historical method was employed through archival research, literature review, and historical cartography; while field trip was carried out to examine the current development of kangkars. The findings revealed that 75% of kangkars are lost while the rest of 25% have been survived at least partly in today’s context. The establishment of New Village Resettlement and development of new town near to the kangkar settlements greatly contributed to the diminishing of kangkars at Muar. In short, the identification of reasons contributes to decline of kangkars act as the lessons to be integrated in traditional village conservation or town development planning in the future. This could avoid further neglect, gradual deterioration, and destruction of the traditional environment built with the experiences gained over the centuries.

Mosque facilities that fail to perform either physically, environmentally, or functionally can cause harm, discomfort, and dissatisfaction to users and eventually demotivate the community to the mosque. This scenario demonstrates the need to improve mosque facilities to meet the contemporary needs of the community. The purpose of this study is to document key building performance criteria for contemporary mosque facilities which will be used to guide the development of its classification in a future study. Literature review search through Web Of Science from 1997 to 2020 was conducted using the terms "mosque building performance criteria", "mosque facility performance criteria", "building performance criteria", and "facility performance criteria". By applying the "Literature Review Synthesis Process", the authors conducted cross-analysis, synthesis, and categorization into meaningful themes that represent building performance criteria for mosque facilities. The result of the review highlighted three (3) building performance criteria for contemporary mosque facilities; physical, environmental, and functional. Results are expected to develop a future framework of building performance criteria for mosque facilities that supports the fundamental functions of mosque for the contemporary community needs. It will significantly guide architects and facilities managers to develop community-centric facilities guidelines in the field of architecture and facilities management.

Sustainable transport is an essential aspect of supporting urban mobility. The current percentage of urban population growth, with an estimated 75% of the population living in urban areas in Malaysia has led to increased travel demand. This population growth supported an increase in travel trips from 40 million trips in 2010. It is estimated to increase to 133 million trips in 2030. Based on the expected increase in Trips and CO2 emissions, the Government's priority is to provide consistent policies with the need for Global Sustainable Transport Policy. Therefore, this study will assess the interrelationship of global sustainable transport policies with the relevant national transport policies. This assessment will measure the translation level of global transportation policy to national policy. Therefore, using a Y shape matrix with seven criteria related to sustainable transport will be used to see the relevance of each policy. As a result, it was found that there is a relationship between global policy and national policy provided. The Five-Year Malaysia plan and National transport policy have translated the sustainable development goal policy and new urban agenda related to sustainable transport at most. However, the National Physical Plan also has a policy that covers almost all SDG and NUA policies. Overall, based on the global policy outlined by the United Nations and the national policy, the growing demand for trip development and analysis of the existing policy shows that the current transport policy focuses almost the same criteria as the global. Among the focus are road safety, transportation for all and sustainable infrastructure. These three criteria have highlighted most policy statements globally and nationally.

The economic growth of Bangladesh depends very much on the garments industries. In Bangladesh, the garments industries contribute directly to the economic growth at about 6 percent of national economic growth rate. A huge number of factories are developed and scattered around Bangladesh. Most of the factories are clustered around the capital city Dhaka and invite thousands of rural inhabitants in search of a job in the city and hoping to lead better life. Today, Bangladesh already confirmed her position as a world-leading clothing exporter. The total workers in these garment industries are around 3.6 million out of 150 million total population. These factories manufacture different types of readymade garments products and export those products to many different countries around the world. However, a good number of factories are not well designed in term of their indoor conditions and which have direct influence in terms of workers' health and wellbeing. The poor indoor conditions may directly affect the employees’ health where they can suffer from various illnesses over prolong durations. This study is aimed at finding out the indoor conditions that has the direct influence towards health and wellbeing of workers at the selected garment factories. For the purpose of this study,14 factories at 6 different locations were selected. A field study was held to assess workers' health and wellbeing while working at the selected garment factories in Bangladesh. During the field study, the questionnaire survey was conducted among the random sample of 405 workers. The workers answered and provided the information about their factory current indoor conditions. From the questionnaire, it is found working environment caused certain illnesses and affected the workers' behavior while they are working at factories. The findings of this research will help introduce measure and guideline to the factory owners so that they can take significant steps to upgrade their management system to improve and provide good indoor conditions for their workers and in term of business wise increase the production margin.

Land is one of the major factors in agricultural and other production activities which its accessibility and utilisation affect the outcome, especially in rural areas. This paper analyses land fragmentation and Rural Sustainability in Bade LGA, Yobe State, Nigeria. Identify rural social sustainability factors in the study area and examine the relationship between land fragmentation and rural sustainability to recommend the best possible land-based rural sustainability practice. The survey method was administered to a random sample of household heads in the study area. Simpson Index, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Partial Least Square- Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data. Thus, the results revealed the extent of land fragmentation in the study areas (β=-0.076, t=1.074; p > 0.05). The results of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) showed that all the 18 causes of the extent of land fragmentation have factor loadings ranges from 0.760- 0.978. Hence, these analysis factors are considered the key causes of land fragmentation in the study area. PLS-SEM findings highlighted a significant alignment between land fragmentation, causes, and rural sustainability, all of which formed the basis for developing the conceptual framework for mitigating land fragmentation challenges. The conceptual framework provides effective land management and land use planning, thus enhance rural sustainability in the Yobe state, Nigeria. The study recommends review land inheritance laws and other laws regarding communal land allocation and ownership to resolve land fragmentation and population control in Yobe state.

The COVID-19 pandemic has immobilized almost the entire world today. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has also incapacitated all aspects of world life including education, community, employment and many more. Tourism and hospitality is one of the industries which seriously affected amid COVID-19 pandemic. It is undeniable that education is highly impacted within the industry amid COVID-19 and affects the future graduates’ employability. This study investigates issues and challenges of Malaysian tourism and hospitality education amid COVID-19 pandemic. A semi-structured interview was conducted through telephone involving 11 tourism and hospitality educators to identify issues and challenges faced within the academic institutions amid COVID-19 pandemic. The number of respondents is considered appropriate for a preliminary study to understand the event before proceeding with further study. The respondents were asked three major questions; (i) issues faced amid COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) challenges and (iii) recommendations for further action in dealing with the issues and challenges. The findings revealed that the critical issues faced within tourism and hospitality education during the pandemic are impacts toward internships and delivery of teaching and learning. The COVID-19 pandemic also brings about challenges in terms of unemployment and requirement of new skills for graduates’ employability. Further, three skills are needed by the tourism and hospitality graduates amid COVID-19 namely technology skills, soft skills and entrepreneurial skills. In conclusion, the findings suggest the need to reform Malaysia tourism and hospitality education as digital education. This study is considered as a preliminary study involving only few educators to identify issues and challenges of tourism and hospitality education amid COVID-19 pandemic, hence the findings cannot be generalized to the whole academic institutions offering the courses. Future study is recommended to be undertaken using more number of respondents representing the academic institutions in Malaysia.

Urban biodiversity conservation is typically practiced in densely populated areas or areas which experiencing rapid growth. The biodiversity population in urban areas has been severe affected because of urbanization. It is risky because uncontrolled urbanization will cause the extinction of urban species. The urban species richness require protection, and thus conservation will be successful if the government focuses on managing conservation properly. City Biodiversity Index (CBI) indicators will benefits in halting the loss of urban biodiversity and proving that it is a critical component in urban areas that require attention. The researcher highlights the critical components or indicators of CBI that lead to a better conservation of urban biodiversity in Malaysia.

While there is a large body of literature on revisit intention to festivals, there is surprisingly little knowledge about it in the context of the Arab world. This research aims to develop a conceptual framework that focuses on the relationship between festival attachment and revisit intentions to festivals. The concept of festival attachment in the current research is borrowed from the concept of place attachment, referring to the same bonds that form between tourists and a tourist place that can also be developed or forged between tourists and a festival. Tourists have an opportunity to develop self-identification with festivals, create affective bonds with them, satisfy and meet their needs through specific facilities or attributes of festivals, and form social bonds with other tourists visiting them, just as they would at a tourist place. All of these aspects together represent what we call attachment to a festival or festival attachment. Based on extensive literature review, the researchers proposed that festival attachment is a multidimensional construct that comprises four dimensions: festival identity, festival affect, festival dependence, and social bonding. The current proposed model will be empirically tested in the context of Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts in Jordan from the perspective of Arab tourists. The findings of this research are expected to broaden the scope of the existing literature on place attachment by introducing important insights from festival settings and its relationship with revisit intention, as well as adding new insights about the Arab tourists' attachment to cultural festivals and their revisit intentions to these festivals.
