The surge of terrace house retrofitting practices has evoked sustainability concerns among the construction players. With the popularised means of upgrading the house condition, green retrofit becomes critical to achieving sustainable retrofitting among the existing residential building. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the potential application of green retrofit strategies in a two-story terrace house. The investigations were made concerning the Petaling Jaya District housing development. This thorough investigation involved analysing the retrofitting behaviour of over 2,946 cases leading to the key building components for applying the green retrofit approach. The outcome of the analysis shows that despite the common practice of retrofitting, the result mostly does not depict the implementation of a green approach in which the majority of upgraded works only reached the second degree – only 30% of improvements involved. The high rate of upgrading actions initiated depicts an immense potential for green retrofit strategies to be administered among the existing residential building stock, taking the measures towards more enforceable roles in pushing the country's low carbon movements forward.

Sustainable township development is the foundation of a sustainable society; however, the development of sustainable neighbourhoods as it currently stands will not permit all stakeholders, particularly end users, to effectively address current or anticipated unforeseen situations that are beyond the scope of physical development. Thus, it is crucial to determine if a pre-occupancy sustainable neighbourhood concept or a certified green project acknowledged sustainable dimension pillars (SDP) adaptive measures after occupancy. The purpose of the study was to identify the post-occupation township development's based on of sustainable criteria. The Stakeholders-Inclusion Approach and Post-Occupancy Evaluation Model were utilised as evaluation tools. This study's objective is to assess and classify the SDP gap in environmental, social, and economic responsiveness and balance methodology towards progressive developments in sustainable and resilient neighbourhood development at the community and individual levels. The respondents of this study are end-users or homeowners who have resided in these developments for over a year. In post-occupancy sustainable neighbourhoods, the findings revealed SDP adaptation gaps. As a result, it provides significant identified criteria measures for further improvement and refinement towards the development of a resilient and sustainable ASEAN neighbourhood.

The physical distancing, lockdown, and other measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused massive job loss and economic hardship, which would result in people not being able to pay their mortgages or rent. Thus, the main objective of this study is to examine the effects of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, investment, and interest rate on residential property prices in Malaysia before and during COVID-19. This research utilises the annual time series data from 1990 to 2020, and the empirical analysis is conducted using the multiple linear regression analysis modelling approach. The finding shows that GDP and interest rates are positive and statistically significant with residential property prices. Practitioners can use these findings to understand the pandemic's effect on house prices. This will provide some guidelines for a policy formulation to moderate the increase in residential property prices to maintain the country's economic stability and indirectly help the government realise its vision of becoming a high-income country between 2024 and 2028. This is the first study that examines the pricing behaviour of Malaysian house prices concerning the COVID-19 shocks. In addition, the study contributes to regional housing price studies by bridging the real estate literature gap.

This study uses a Least Cost Path Analysis (LCPA) to create a transmission suitability route map. Environmental issues including electromagnetic pollution, habitat fragmentation, forest clearing, and the sight of pylons and power lines, and electromagnetic pollution are just a few that may come up during the planning and construction phases. The study's objectives are to define the criteria for a suitable transmission route, map the current transmission from Kidurong to Kemena in Bintulu, Sarawak, and suggest a new, LCPA-based transmission route that meets these criteria. It is necessary to determine the criteria that influence the construction of the route. There are three main categories for the proposed routes. There are technical, human health, and natural environments. The road layer and slope layer are combined for the technical group. The residential layer is part of the human health group, and land use is associated with the natural environment. During the planning of a potential power line route, weight was assigned to the criterion maps. The outcome demonstrates that the suggested route was built based on most flat sections, with only a little portion passing through the sharpest sector because there is no other way to depart from the path to avoid it. The output route is nearly straight from the source location to the destination point. The route also curves in a couple of places to go around the step area. The proposed transmission line is inside the buffer zone, and there are no other routes in the area that are more than 1 km from the road. Class 1 has a low dwelling density; therefore, the route passes through it for the residential evaluation. Additionally, there are a few places where the route passes through class 2 because only class 2 has a lower housing density.

In recent years, many companies had to make their supply chains more sustainable by focusing not only on economic goals but also on environmental goals. Employee involvement is critical to the successful implementation of environmental management dimensions in the workplace. This study aims to determine employees’ perceptions of the environmental management dimensions employed for a district council in the Southern zone state of Malaysia. Using a questionnaire, data were collected from 50 respondents (16 companies/facilities) in the Johor state and 32 respondents (17 companies/facilities) in the Malacca state. The main findings show that more than half of the respondents understood environmental management and were willing to consider environmental practices in their organisation/facility. This study also verifies the environmental issues that need to be considered in environmental management implementation. Relevant recommendations are then provided to facilitate an understanding of where the attention should be directed in developing and improving environmental management in organisations.

FELDA is enforcing a new direction of sustainable FELDA development in the future. It has timely developed a Sustainability and Highest and Best-use (SHBU) framework based on a GIS-based Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) approach for optimising FELDA lands, particularly crops, and other possible developments. This paper attempts to demonstrate the application of the GIS-based SHBU for FELDA Bukit Rokan discovering its capabilities. It includes generating criterion maps and sub-criterion maps, weighting criterion maps, and creating outcomes – composite maps of cropland suitability and future-physical development. The geospatial analyses for a Bukit Rokan confirmed that the SHBU model could provide the needed information for crop and settlement area developments. The production of the composite crop and physical land development maps significantly helps FELDA management or crop plantation planners optimise lands for crop plantation and future physical development. Hence, its application provides valuable information about the areas and support attributes enhancing FELDA lands development planning decision-making.

This paper highlights the key stakeholders' influences on the local community's involvement in CBT development. Further, this paper explores the potential of Penta-Helix multi-stakeholders collaboration as a viable CBT development strategy. Through systematic content analysis, this paper explores the link between CBT, the Penta-Helix development model and how it intertwines with local community wisdom empowerment. This paper identifies three gaps in community-based tourism: i) Shortcomings from the top-down tourism development planning system, ii) the need for more collaboration between the community and the tourism stakeholders and iii) the lack of community local wisdom empowerment. This paper reflects on the nexus between tourism and local community wisdom inclusiveness, particularly in the CBT sustainability realm. This paper highlighted how the Penta-Helix cooperation could be achieved through optimising the community's local wisdom role through collaborative actions by the academics, business, government, and media as tourism core stakeholders.

The primary objective of the research is to examine at the relation between responsible tourism and community quality of life. A questionnaire survey was carried out to gather responses from a sample of 322 locals from the Malaysian Cameron Highlands' Ulu Telum, Tanah Rata, and Ringlet subdistricts. The data analysis revealed that there was no correlation between the quality of life in the local community and any of the four pillars of responsible tourism (economic, environmental, social, and cultural). Although tourism has an impact on locals' quality of life in tourist destinations, it can only measure residents' opinions and not their actual experiences. Or, to put it another way, it may not be appropriate to assess locals' quality of life using indices of tourist impacts. According to the findings of this study, the components of responsible tourism may only partially represent the quality of life among local communities affected by tourism in a host community. The results of this study suggest that the elements of responsible tourism might need to accurately reflect the quality of life of the local communities impacted by tourism in a host community.
