PurposeThe maintainability of urban spaces has become critical with rapid urbanization to create an effective and safe environment for the increasing population. The absence of scientific studies exploring the factors that affect urban space maintainability (USM) has hindered the incorporation of maintainability aspects during the urban space planning and designing stages. This paper aims to establish critical factors for USM.Design/methodology/approachQualitative content analysis is performed under an abductive approach to developing USM factors. A bibliometric search is conducted using databases including Scopus Elsevier, Emerald Insight, Science Direct, IEEE XPLORE and the American Society of Civil Engineers. The selected primary data set comprises journal papers on USM published after 2000. Seventy-three journal articles are selected through a comprehensive screening procedure and subjected to further analysis. The literature findings are processed via a software-assisted systematic coding and visualizing of the key data using NVivo 12 software. The coded USM factors are validated based on experts’ consensus statements by conducting an expert focus group discussion.FindingsTwelve critical factors are established for USM; they include six design stage-related factors, one construction stage-related factor and five operational stage-related factors.Research limitations/implicationsEstablished USM factors give an insight into the main focus areas when incorporating maintainability into urban spaces.Originality/valueThe authors establish a set of maintainability factors for urban spaces based on the life cycle stages. USM factors such as vegetation management, interdepartmental coordination and work zone safety draw attention to context-specific aspects of USM.
目的城市空间的可维护性随着城市化的快速发展而变得至关重要,为不断增长的人口创造一个有效和安全的环境。缺乏对影响城市空间可维护性因素的科学研究,阻碍了在城市空间规划和设计阶段纳入可维护性方面。本文旨在为USM建立关键因素。设计/方法/方法在开发USM因素的溯因方法下进行定性内容分析。使用Scopus Elsevier、Emerald Insight、Science Direct、IEEE XPLORE和美国土木工程师学会等数据库进行文献计量检索。选定的主要数据集包括2000年后发表的关于USM的期刊论文。73篇期刊文章是通过全面筛选程序选出的,并进行进一步分析。通过使用NVivo 12软件对关键数据进行软件辅助的系统编码和可视化来处理文献发现。编码的USM因素是根据专家的共识声明,通过进行专家焦点小组讨论来验证的。结果建立了USM的12个关键因素;它们包括六个设计阶段相关因素、一个施工阶段相关因素和五个运营阶段相关因素。研究局限性/含义在将可维护性纳入城市空间时,既定的USM因素可以深入了解主要关注领域。独创性/价值作者根据生命周期阶段建立了一套城市空间的可维护性因素。植被管理、部门间协调和工作区安全等USM因素引起了人们对USM特定环境方面的关注。

PurposeThis study aims to ascertain the forms of social enterprises created for public services and the dimensions of community-based management of public facilities. It seeks to understand how community-based facilities management (CbFM) can apply to the management of public services created by social enterprises in developing communities.Design/methodology/approachThe study examines research studies on CbFM through a scoping review of papers published between 1997 and 2022.FindingsThe scoping review revealed that there are five dimensions of CbFM for developing communities: CbFM, urban facilities management, sustainable CbFM, urban infrastructure management and management of community hubs. It also revealed that social enterprises have been used to manage services, and for social inclusion, and to increase the efficiency of tangible infrastructure in communities.Research limitations/implicationsThe scoping review included literature from 1997 to 2022 to understand the development trends in CbFM in developing communities. It is possible that literature from a broader timeframe could have produced more in-depth understanding of the subject investigated.Practical implicationsThe paper articulates a framework of CbFM models for public services in developing communities and developed a database of the relevant studies, which can further guide future researchers, stakeholders and policymakers in this area.Originality/valueThe comprehensive review produced a framework for community management of public services. It also identified that there is a paucity of literature on social infrastructure. It highlighted the need for skillsets to support community-based enterprises. There are limited studies that touch on the development of performance indicators for developing communities.
本研究旨在厘清为公共服务而创立的社会企业的形式,以及公共设施社区管理的维度。它力求了解如何将社区设施管理应用于社会企业在发展中社区提供的公共服务的管理。设计/方法/方法本研究通过对1997年至2022年间发表的论文进行范围审查,对CbFM的研究进行了审查。研究结果表明,发展中社区社区管理包括五个维度:社区社区管理、城市设施管理、可持续社区社区管理、城市基础设施管理和社区枢纽管理。报告还显示,社会企业已被用于管理服务,促进社会包容,并提高社区有形基础设施的效率。研究局限/意义范围审查纳入了1997年至2022年的文献,以了解发展中社区CbFM的发展趋势。这是可能的,从更广泛的时间框架的文献可以产生更深入的了解所调查的主题。本文构建了面向发展中社区公共服务的CbFM模型框架,并建立了相关研究数据库,为未来该领域的研究者、利益相关者和政策制定者提供指导。原创性/价值全面审查产生了社区管理公共服务的框架。报告还指出,关于社会基础设施的文献很少。它强调需要各种技能来支持以社区为基础的企业。涉及发展中社区绩效指标制定的研究有限。

PurposeNot only since the Corona pandemic, working from home has become an important part of the modern workplace. The purpose of this study is to identify environmental as well as psychological factors that could predict employees’ weekly desired home office.Design/methodology/approachTwo cross-sectional online surveys were conducted during April and July 2022 at a German company for digital services (Study 1: N1 = 1,912; Study 2: N2 = 1,132). In Study 1, the authors developed a multiple linear regression model with backward selection for employees’ weekly desired home office. Predictor variables were sociodemographic as well as psychological variables. After that, the authors validated the exploratory found model in Study 2.FindingsIn the final prediction model, the weekly desired home office was positively affected by two age groups (26 to 35 years and 36 to 45 years) and commuting distance (from 10 km upwards). In addition, it was also negatively affected by leader status (i.e. being a leader), stress experience at work and identification with the company.Research limitations/implicationsSome sociodemographic variables that should be relevant for employees’ choice to work from home were not measured in this study.Practical implicationsThe paper contributes to both theory and practice. The validated prediction model may guide personnel managers in finding the best-fitting working solution for their employees.Originality/valueA newly developed model for predicting employees’ weekly desired home office is presented.

PurposeThis study aims to explore how an accessibility database (AD) has been developed and implemented as a tool for facility managers to evaluate and increase the accessibility of public facilities.Design/methodology/approachEight participants were strategically sampled for semi-structured interviews, and documents on the AD were gathered. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was used for a directed content analysis of the data. The CFIR domains used for the analysis were: intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting, characteristics of individuals and process.FindingsThe development and implementation of the AD demonstrated the complexity in assessing and planning for increased accessibility. The communication and iterative processes within the inner as well as with the outer setting was an important part of the development and implementation, as well as anchoring each step locally, regionally and nationally, within public authorities and disability organizations.Practical implicationsThe assessments of environmental barriers and the results reported in the AD can serve as a guide for identification of accessibility issues. However, singular identified barriers were reported as a fragmentation of the building regulations, and thereby when retrofitting is carried out, experts who have the competence to suggest solutions based on the entirety need to be involved to reach the goals of increased accessibility and countering of exclusion and discrimination.Originality/valueBy structuring the implementation process by means of the CFIR, facilitators and barriers of using an AD as a basis for retrofitting were revealed. The practical challenges outlined in assessing and increasing accessibility can guide facility managers when considering actions to increase accessibility.
目的本研究旨在探讨无障碍数据库(AD)如何被开发和实施,作为设施管理者评估和增加公共设施无障碍的工具。设计/方法/方法高度参与者被战略性地抽样进行半结构化访谈,并收集有关广告的文件。实施研究统一框架(CFIR)用于数据的直接内容分析。用于分析的CFIR域为:干预特征、外部环境、内部环境、个体特征和过程。调查结果AD的发展和实施显示了评估和规划增加可达性的复杂性。内部和外部环境的沟通和迭代过程是发展和执行的重要组成部分,也是在地方、区域和国家、公共当局和残疾人组织内固定每一个步骤的重要组成部分。实际意义本报告所载的环境障碍评估及结果,可作为识别无障碍问题的指引。然而,据报道,单一确定的障碍是建筑法规的碎片,因此,在进行改造时,需要有能力提出基于整体解决方案的专家参与,以实现增加可达性和打击排斥和歧视的目标。原创性/价值通过构建CFIR的实施过程,揭示了使用AD作为改造基础的促进因素和障碍。在评估和增加可访问性中概述的实际挑战可以指导设施管理人员考虑增加可访问性的行动。

PurposeThis paper aims to uncover an understanding of how the quality assurance measures used by the property management teams of Grade-B high-rise office blocks influence the satisfaction and retention of tenants and walk-in users.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a case study design backed up by qualitative and quantitative research approaches on a sample size of 90 respondents, including tenants, landlords, property managers and walk-in building users. The data were collected predominantly through interview guides and transcribed, coded and illustrated by the aid of ATLAS.ti software. Data reporting was through tables, graphs and themed direct quotations and eventual discussion. The in-depth/structured interview sessions took between 40 min and 1 h, and the walk-along interviews ranged between 30 and 40 min. Content analysis through thematic coding, categorisation and analysis were used in handling qualitative data. Direct quotes from participant responses from interview transcripts were inserted in line with the themes. And participants allocated pseudo-names to guard their confidentiality.FindingsThe key themes that linked quality assurance measures of access systems and tenant retention included distribution of access systems, the retention trends, quality assurance measures followed and the tenant experiences regarding how complaints are handled.Originality/valueIt is important to understand how tenants and other users of high-rise buildings experience their performance and inclusiveness. In a place like Kampala city, such a phenomenon can be proven through tenants sustaining their tenures/use of the facilities. Yet, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, presently no empirical studies have explored such a connection.
目的本文旨在了解B级高层办公楼物业管理团队使用的质量保证措施如何影响租户和非预约用户的满意度和忠诚度。设计/方法/方法本研究采用了案例研究设计,并辅以定性和定量研究方法,对90名受访者进行了抽样调查,其中包括租户、房东、物业经理和步入式建筑用户。数据主要通过访谈指南收集,并借助ATLAS.ti软件进行转录、编码和说明。数据报告是通过表格、图表和主题直接引用以及最终讨论进行的。深入/结构化的访谈时间为40 最小值和1 h、 走马观花的采访在30到40人之间 在处理定性数据时,使用了通过主题编码、分类和分析进行的内容分析。根据主题插入了参与者对访谈记录的直接引用。参与者分配了假名以保护他们的机密性。发现将接入系统的质量保证措施与租户保留联系起来的关键主题包括接入系统的分布、保留趋势、所遵循的质量保障措施以及租户如何处理投诉的经验。独创性/价值了解高层建筑的租户和其他用户如何体验他们的性能和包容性很重要。在坎帕拉这样的地方,这种现象可以通过租户维持其设施的使用权来证明。然而,据作者所知,目前还没有实证研究探讨过这种联系。

PurposeChina’s population is ageing. Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) are an emerging living arrangement of older Chinese. Incorporating social sustainability features into CCRCs helps to create age-friendly residential environments for residents. However, it is still unclear what kinds of social sustainability features are incorporated into the residential environments of CCRCs in China. Therefore, this study aims to address this research gap.Design/methodology/approachQualitative content analysis is adopted to analyse the retrieved business information of representative CCRC developers in China.FindingsThis study revealed 36 social sustainability features in CCRCs, with the top-ranked ones being health care and management, social connection and engagement, high-quality and diverse services and daily life support and assistance. Additionally, a preliminary social sustainability framework of CCRCs was proposed, and this framework includes the five components of care and health, environment and management, service and facility, age-friendly life philosophy and social support and inclusion.Originality/valueIn theory, this research’s findings clarify the meaning of social sustainability within the context of CCRCs, which supports future relevant explorations in the CCRC research community. In practice, these findings enhance stakeholders’ understanding of the social sustainability in CCRCs, which promotes the development of age-friendly living environments for older people in an ageing society.
中国人口正在老龄化。持续养老社区(CCRCs)是中国老年人的一种新兴生活方式。将社会可持续发展的特点融入cccs,有助于为居民创造适合老年人的居住环境。然而,在中国,cccs居住环境中融入了什么样的社会可持续性特征尚不清楚。因此,本研究旨在弥补这一研究空白。设计/方法/方法采用定性的内容分析方法对检索到的中国有代表性的CCRC开发商的业务信息进行分析。研究结果揭示了社区中心的36个社会可持续性特征,其中排名靠前的是卫生保健和管理、社会联系和参与、高质量和多样化的服务以及日常生活支持和援助。在此基础上,提出了社区中心的社会可持续性框架,该框架包括护理与健康、环境与管理、服务与设施、老年友好生活理念和社会支持与包容五个组成部分。从理论上讲,本研究的发现澄清了CCRC背景下社会可持续性的意义,为未来CCRC研究界的相关探索提供了支持。在实践中,这些发现增强了利益相关者对社区中心社会可持续性的理解,从而促进了老龄化社会中老年人友好生活环境的发展。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore user satisfaction with in-house facility management (FM) services in multi-tenanted office buildings in Accra, Ghana using a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) approach.Design/methodology/approachThe study assessed user satisfaction with FM service quality by using a POE of their perceptions about the attitude and courtesy of the FM personnel, the reliability of the FM services they provide, the responsiveness and the competence of the service providers. The study used walk-throughs and questionnaire surveys as the POE methods. One hundred and twenty-one users from 22 multi-tenanted office buildings, who have actively used the FM services for at least a year, were purposively sampled. The data was collected via a survey using a structured questionnaire. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and principal component analysis in version 25 of statistical package for the social sciences.FindingsThe study revealed that users were dissatisfied with the quality of in-house FM services across all 15 services The results also showed that users’ satisfaction with the services is not affected by the differences in their age, gender, educational level, job role and number of years in the buildings. The results further demonstrated that the most critical factors that resulted in users’ dissatisfaction were electric facilities, building fabric maintenance, emergency coordination, waste management and the decoration of the buildings during festive seasons.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, the present study based on POE to assess user satisfaction with FM services for multi-tenant office buildings has, presumably, not been tackled before in Ghana. The results of the study are very essential to the owners of the buildings and facility managers in decision-making concerning the delivery of FM services. Building industry-wise, the results demonstrate the need for in-house FM managers in multi-tenanted office buildings in Ghana to adopt FM service delivery methods that increase user satisfaction. The results also call for further research into user satisfaction with outsourced FM services in multi-tenanted office buildings and further research on the use of the in-house strategy on other types of buildings to ascertain whether the dissatisfaction with FM is due to other factors such as the choice of FM strategy, the property type etc.
目的本研究的目的是使用入住后评估(POE)方法,探讨加纳阿克拉多租户办公楼用户对内部设施管理(FM)服务的满意度。设计/方法/方法该研究通过对用户对调频人员的态度和礼貌、他们提供的调频服务的可靠性、服务提供商的响应能力和能力的看法的POE来评估用户对调频服务质量的满意度。该研究采用了演练和问卷调查作为POE方法。来自22栋多租户办公楼的121名用户被有意抽样,他们积极使用调频服务至少一年。数据是通过使用结构化问卷的调查收集的。使用社会科学统计包第25版中的描述性统计和主成分分析对数据进行了分析。研究结果显示,用户对所有15项服务的内部调频服务质量都不满意。研究结果还表明,用户对服务的满意度不受年龄、性别、教育水平、工作角色和在建筑中的年限差异的影响。结果进一步表明,导致用户不满的最关键因素是电力设施、建筑结构维护、应急协调、废物管理和节日期间的建筑装饰。创意/价值据作者所知,本研究基于POE评估多租户办公楼FM服务的用户满意度,可能在加纳以前没有解决过。研究结果对建筑物业主和设施管理人员在提供调频服务的决策中至关重要。从建筑行业来看,研究结果表明,加纳多租户办公楼的内部FM经理需要采用提高用户满意度的FM服务提供方法。研究结果还要求进一步研究用户对多租户办公楼外包调频服务的满意度,并进一步研究在其他类型的建筑上使用内部策略,以确定对调频服务的不满是否是由于其他因素造成的,如调频策略的选择、物业类型等。

PurposeThis study aims to qualitatively examine the relationship between the indoor environmental quality (IEQ), lecturers’ and students’ perceived internal responses and academic performance.Design/methodology/approachTo capture user experiences with the IEQ in classrooms, semi-structured interviews with 11 lecturers and three focus group discussions with 24 students were conducted, transcribed, coded and analyzed using direct content analysis.FindingsThe findings show that lecturers and students experience poor thermal, lighting, acoustic and indoor air quality (IAQ) conditions that may influence their ability to teach and learn. Maintaining acceptable thermal and IAQ conditions was difficult for lecturers, as opening windows or doors caused noise disturbances. In uncomfortable conditions, lecturers may decide to give a break earlier or shorten a lecture. When students experienced discomfort, it may affect their ability to concentrate, their emotional status and their quality of learning.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings originate from a relatively small sample, which might have limited the number and variety of identified associations between environment and users.Practical implicationsMaintaining acceptable air and thermal conditions will mitigate the need to open windows and doors. Keeping doors and windows closed will prevent noise disturbances and related distractions. This will support the quality of learning in classrooms. This study reveals the end users’ perspectives and preferences, which can inspire designers of new school buildings in higher education.Originality/valueThis study emphasizes the importance of creating and maintaining optimal IEQ conditions to support the quality of teaching and learning. These conditions are particularly relevant when classroom occupancy rates are high or outdoor conditions are unfavourable.
目的本研究旨在定性地检验室内环境质量(IEQ)、讲师和学生感知的内部反应与学习成绩之间的关系。设计/方法论/方法为了捕捉课堂上IEQ的用户体验,对11名讲师进行了半结构化访谈,并对24名学生进行了三次焦点小组讨论,使用直接内容分析进行了转录、编码和分析。调查结果表明,讲师和学生的热、照明、声学和室内空气质量(IAQ)条件较差,这可能会影响他们的教学能力。对于讲师来说,保持可接受的热和室内空气质量条件很困难,因为打开窗户或门会引起噪音干扰。在不舒服的情况下,讲师可能会决定提前休息或缩短讲座时间。当学生感到不适时,可能会影响他们的注意力、情绪状态和学习质量。研究局限性/含义研究结果来源于相对较小的样本,这可能限制了环境和用户之间确定的关联的数量和多样性。实际意义保持可接受的空气和热条件将减轻打开门窗的需要。保持门窗关闭可以防止噪音干扰和相关干扰。这将有助于提高课堂学习质量。这项研究揭示了最终用户的观点和偏好,可以启发高等教育中新校舍的设计师。独创性/价值本研究强调了创造和保持最佳IEQ条件以支持教学质量的重要性。当教室占用率高或户外条件不利时,这些条件尤其重要。

PurposeThe era of digital construction, including building information modelling (BIM), has placed a high demand for a seamless collaboration of people, technology and processes in meeting a project delivery. The project actors involved in a BIM process must ensure compliance with all regulations and contractual requirements from inception. While many studies have disclosed the various contractual implications arising from BIM implementation, little has been examined on the current state of BIM in contract administration practice, particularly in the Malaysian construction industry. This study aims to explore the current state of BIM implementation with specific reference to a design-and-build construction project.Design/methodology/approachThe exploratory case study involved the construction of a public complex. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with the project actors, and document analysis was performed on the project’s contractual guidelines to derive the findings.FindingsFindings from the thematic analysis revealed the following five sequences of activities that guided the contract administration practices, particularly during the pre-contract and post-contract stages of a BIM-based construction project: project inception, tendering phase, detailed design, construction and preparation for the handing over phase. Most of the activities were conducted to deliver the final BIM outputs successfully. Nevertheless, some shortcomings were noted in the project monitoring, the validation process of the BIM deliverables and the BIM players’ competency level in fulfilling the specified BIM contractual requirements.Practical implicationsThe study contributes to a practical understanding of how BIM can affect project administration and how a public client can improve contractual risk allocation in future BIM implementation.Originality/valueThis paper discloses the current practices of contract administration to better understand the impacts of BIM management during the pre-contract and post-contract stages of a BIM-based construction project.
目的数字建筑时代,包括建筑信息建模(BIM),对人员、技术和流程的无缝协作提出了很高的要求,以满足项目交付。参与BIM过程的项目参与者必须确保从一开始就遵守所有法规和合同要求。尽管许多研究揭示了BIM实施过程中产生的各种合同影响,但很少有人研究BIM在合同管理实践中的现状,尤其是在马来西亚建筑业。本研究旨在探索BIM实施的现状,并具体参考设计和施工项目。设计/方法论/方法探索性案例研究涉及公共综合体的建设。对项目参与者进行了半结构化访谈,并对项目的合同指南进行了文件分析,以得出调查结果。发现专题分析的结果揭示了以下五个活动序列,这些活动指导了合同管理实践,特别是在基于BIM的建筑项目的合同前和合同后阶段:项目启动、招标阶段、详细设计、施工和移交准备阶段。大多数活动都是为了成功交付BIM的最终输出。尽管如此,在项目监控、BIM交付物的验证过程以及BIM参与者在满足指定BIM合同要求方面的能力水平方面,仍存在一些不足。实际意义该研究有助于实际理解BIM如何影响项目管理,以及公共客户如何在未来BIM实施中改善合同风险分配。独创性/价值本文披露了当前合同管理的实践,以更好地了解基于BIM的建筑项目在合同前和合同后阶段的BIM管理的影响。
