Resilience is considered as the ability of systems to cope (or adapt) with adversity over time. However, there is an ongoing debate around the resilience paradigm, and similarly, most resilience descriptions are often application specific. This article reviews various resilience models in the built environment such as the representation of resiliency and its characteristics (e.g., sociocultural networks), objectives (e.g., enhancing knowledge systems), challenges (e.g., adaption), and applications (e.g., climate resiliency and disaster). This paper aims to establish a foundation for further investigation in built environment resilience. Open issues are drawn toward the end of this article to reveal new research avenues to shed light and spark new interest in this research field.

Studies have shown that a very wide range of parameters affect thermal comfort of building occupants. Heat transfer through the roofs has been identified as one of the causes of overheating in building interiors. Building Performance Simulation tools can be used to determine appropriate roof design parameters with optimum thermal performance in tropical climates like Nigeria. However, ensuring the reliability of the simulation results is essential for both occupants and designers. Therefore, this study seeks to verify and validate the accuracy of simulation results of DesignBuilder as a simulation tool for the present research works on roof thermal performance. The study primarily focuses on the impact of roof design on the air temperature in the indoor learning environment. Validation is examined by comparing the measured daily indoor air temperature of Kofar Wambai Secondary School Classroom, Bauchi city data and the simulation results. Comparative analysis indicate that the % deviation of field measured and simulated results for the tested days (18th and 21st September, 2018) were 2.39% and 1.25% respectively. The R2 results indicated 99% and 75% correlation between the simulated and measured indoor temperature on the tested days.These results agreed with the recommendations of a study by (Andelkovic et al, 2016) which reported that the marginal value of R2 for measurements and simulations validation is R2 ≥ 75%. Therefore, DesignBuilder can be employed to evaluate roof thermal performance as well as predict indoor air temperature of classroom buildings.
研究表明，影响建筑居住者热舒适的参数非常广泛。通过屋顶的热量传递已被确定为建筑物内部过热的原因之一。建筑性能模拟工具可用于确定在尼日利亚等热带气候条件下具有最佳热性能的适当屋顶设计参数。然而，确保仿真结果的可靠性对于居住者和设计者来说都是至关重要的。因此，本研究旨在验证和验证DesignBuilder作为当前屋顶热性能研究工作的模拟工具的模拟结果的准确性。本研究主要关注屋顶设计对室内学习环境空气温度的影响。通过比较科法尔万拜中学教室日室内温度实测数据和包奇市室内温度模拟结果，验证了模型的有效性。对比分析表明，试验日(2018年9月18日和21日)现场实测结果与模拟结果的偏差%分别为2.39%和1.25%。R2结果表明，在测试日，模拟室内温度与实测值之间的相关性为99%和75%。这些结果与(Andelkovic et al .， 2016)的研究建议一致，该研究报告测量和模拟验证的R2边际值为R2≥75%。因此，可以使用DesignBuilder来评估屋顶热工性能，并预测教室建筑的室内空气温度。

An office is a place where office task is carried out. An important building component that provides a view to the outside is the window. This paper aims to investigate the effect of office and view factors on occupants’ satisfaction. The research uses a cross-sectional survey method, data was collected from five offices in Kogi State in Nigeria with a total of 267 respondents. The purposive sampling method was used because it was specifically for occupants of shared-room offices and open-plan offices. The analysis was performed using SPSS Version 23 and AMOS Version 22 for modelling. Seven salient factors were identified to be interrelated in the relationship model. The results revealed a valid model and the effect of each construct on occupants’ satisfaction was moderate. The overall squared multiple correlation value is moderate. The study extends the existing knowledge of the relationship between office and window view factors on occupants’ satisfaction. Also, it provides suggestions for building stakeholders such as Architects, Builders, Interior Designers, and Facility Managers that can be applied to improve the satisfaction level of office space users, thereby creating a sustainable office environment.

Private beach is a global practice in enhancing tourism industry activity but relatively new concept in Malaysia. While tourism is under responsibility of the federal government, utilization and use of land belong to state authority’s power and control pursuant to Federal Constitution 1957. This including land consist of beach pursuant to National Land Code 1965. However, Malaysia is yet to have specific statutory governance on beach or coastal. This paper focuses on State of Selangor government practice in land administration regarding practice of private ownership existence on beach. It will discuss on the government’s reason, present administration and management for the practice and uptake on public access to private owned beach. A qualitative methodology has been adopted by using case study strategy on AVANI Sepang Gold Coast (SGC), Bagan Lalang, Sepang, Selangor. Data has gathered through document analysis and semi-structured interviews on purposive key informants including local authority and state agency representatives. It was found that the practice of ‘private beach’ in Selangor exist through state land alienation and transfer process to ‘joint venture’ entity which include state agency for ‘eco-tourism’ redevelopment in Bagan Lalang’s coastal area which comprises of soil land, beach land and water. This practice was found in line with State of Selangor government guideline on ‘Pekeliling Pengarah Tanah Dan Galian Selangor Bilangan 14/2010: Panduan Pemberimilikan Tanah Dasar Laut Bagi Tujuan Pembangunan Di Atas Dasar Air Di Negeri Selangor.’ Further findings were explained in SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis. To conclude, key informants agree this complex issue requires intense caution when considering the implications, models, and administrative processes associated for beach redevelopment and sustainable.
私人海滩是促进旅游业活动的全球做法，但在马来西亚相对较新的概念。虽然旅游业由联邦政府负责，但根据1957年联邦宪法，土地的利用和使用属于国家当局的权力和控制。根据1965年国家土地法，包括由海滩组成的土地。然而，马来西亚尚未对海滩或海岸进行具体的法定管理。本文主要介绍了雪兰莪州政府在土地管理方面的实践，以及海滩私有制存在的实践。本报告将讨论政府推行及接纳公众使用私人泳滩的理由、现行行政及管理措施。在雪州雪邦的蒲甘拉朗，AVANI雪邦黄金海岸(SGC)采用了定性方法。通过文件分析和对有目的的关键举报人(包括地方当局和国家机构代表)的半结构化访谈收集了数据。研究发现，雪兰莪州的“私人海滩”实践存在于国家土地转让和向“合资”实体的转移过程中，其中包括在蒲甘拉郎沿海地区进行“生态旅游”再开发的国家机构，该地区包括土壤土地、海滩土地和水。这种做法符合雪兰莪州政府关于“Pekeliling Pengarah Tanah dangalian Selangor Bilangan”的指导方针14/2010:Panduan Pemberimilikan Tanah Dasar Laut Bagi Tujuan Pembangunan Di Atas Dasar Air Di Negeri Selangor。进一步的发现在SWOT(优势、劣势、机会和威胁)分析中得到了解释。综上所述，主要资料提供者同意，在考虑与海滩重建和可持续发展有关的影响、模式和行政程序时，需要高度谨慎地处理这个复杂的问题。

Rapid urbanization process has had an impact on the rural population thus to its settlements. Rural depopulation and idle houses are among the effects that occur; disrupting the sustainability of rural settlements. If this situation continues, it will eventually lead to ‘hollow village’ phenomenon as happened for example in China and Japan. Previous studies conducted in other countries found that this phenomenon was due to the migration of people from rural to urban areas in their search for opportunities as well as for better housings offered in urban areas. However, very little understanding has been offered by the current literature about the vacant and idle houses phenomenon in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper intends to examine the factors that have led to this phenomenon, based on the observation and the knowledge of the village heads in Seri Menanti, District of Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan. Interviews were conducted with 12 village heads selected from the case study area and the collected data were then analysed using descriptive and thematic methods. This study found that there are five major causes that contributing to the emergence of vacant and idle houses in the case study area namely: the economic factors particularly due to the various attractions of the urban areas; social factors such as deaths of both parents; and youth migration; policy factor particularly due to restrictions imposed by the authorities; lack of basic facilities – especially technology and infrastructure; and environment factor that refers to lifestyle. Each factor has its own characteristics that describe the factors themselves. Thus, further study is necessary to improve the solutions of rural decline and to suggest viable recommendations so that vacant and idle houses can be transformed into beneficial solutions towards meeting the current needs of the population.

The focus of this research is on human perception toward fire safety awareness in public hospitals. The perception was evaluated by looking at two variables, awareness, and knowledge. With the existence of knowledge and awareness, the perception of fire safety in hospitals is high. Thus, the three objectives are; i) evaluate and identify the relation of consumer perception towards the fire safety awareness in hospitals. ii) evaluate and analyse consumer perception on fire safety awareness with the effective value of designs and exit routes prepared. iii) suggest improvement measures in ensuring the hospital’s occupants able to increase the awareness and understanding values in fire safety in hospitals. This study adapted quantitative methodology by using a random survey as an instrument which involved 285 respondents representing 6 selected hospitals in Malaysia. The findings found that there was no significant between the relation of awareness and knowledge with age, education, and occupation in identifying the level of awareness and knowledge in fire safety in hospitals. Yet, there was a significant value in gender which the men have higher awareness and knowledge as compared to women who were not significant in this study. Therefore, several improvement measures need to be done by the hospital administration to add awareness value among the hospital users.

In the event of recovery after the flood disasters, public order and welfare are of key importance for the institutions. Hence, community involvement via an asset-based approach is paramount to ensure that the holistic recovery of the community can be achieved. Through an asset-based approach, the vulnerability of the community can be diminished by concentrating on the strength and capability of the community to steer away from the disaster's impacts once it occurs, without being dependent only on government assistance. It is essential to not only focus on the tangible assets of the community but also their intangible assets to assist the community and the institutions in facing the disaster's impacts. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the elements of the asset-based approach that may assist institutions in the recovery process of flood-affected areas, with a focus on three districts in three Malaysian states. These states are Kuala Krai (Kelantan), Kemaman (Terengganu) and Kuantan (Pahang). The data is collected through a focus group discussion with the agencies involved in the recovery process of the victims by utilizing the Nominal Group Technique (NGT). The data collected is later analysed by using content analysis through Nvivo software. Four themes emerge from the data analysis highlighting the importance of community assets and their involvement in the process. Four essential elements identified in the study to assist the institutions in the process are resources, methods, functions, and evaluation. These elements are crucial to the development of the institutional framework that may help the victims' recovery process.

In Malaysia, streets could be identified as public spaces for various activities especially at the heritage district. This study aims to promote street node as a potential liveable and sociable public space between buildings focussing on Johor Bahru city. The paper objectively proposes a method on identifying street nodes liveability pattern and introduce a relationship between occupied socio-physical and visual connectivity. It is argued that people sitting and standing at the sidewalks can also be affected by the visual connection amongst the pedestrians in addition to the condition to the street itself. The distribution of static activities of people are measured according to socio-physical elements and visual graph analysis (VGA) in Depthmap software. The results show simple relationship between the socio-physical element and the presence of static activities of people in the walkway. It is suggested that street designers, business operator and the authority could be able to create liveable spaces according to the environmental conditions and types of existing static activity.
