THE IMPORTANCE OF DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS IN WALKING FROM STUDENT’S PERSPECTIVE: A CASE STUDY IN UNIVERSITI KEBANGSAAN MALAYSIA
Get PDFWalking is a common form of physical activity, which has a lot of both social and recreational impacts. It is studied as a way of achieving sustainability. Many researchers recommend that walking can increase mental and physical health. Spectators of new urbanism recommend that the good design will encourage walking. There are several characteristics for designing walkable communities, which were frequently described in researches by many authors. In this paper, the four criteria noticed for making walkable university campus include connectivity, accessibility, safety/security and comfort. These criteria have been assessed by gathering survey in the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia to find out if these criteria can cause or affect walkability in university campus and it has been supported by previous studies. The result of the survey shows that these criteria are important from students’ perspective as high numbers of the students consider these characters as important for walking activity. The conclusion is to achieve walkable university campus as it will be necessary to evaluate present walking conditions, research walking behavior in different settings and consider these four criteria in designing campus for improving walking condition
SAMPLE ANALYSIS OF CORRELATION OF COST INPUTS OF TIMBER PRODUCTS IN ROOF CONSTRUCTION

Get PDFLorong belakang di perumahan teres amnya dilihat dari aspek negatif permasalahan jenayah dan kebersihan. Kualiti hidup penghuni rumah perlu diutamakan dari aspek kesihatan, pengudaraan, pengcahayaan dan alam sekitar. Hubungan sosio budaya, agama dan privasi bagi penghuni rumah kurang diambil kira dalam merekabentuk ruang lorong belakang deretan rumah yang bersesuaian. Rekabentuk lorong belakang perumahan teres di Malaysia dilihat kurang relevan dan merupakan faktor terhadap penurunan kualiti kehidupan penduduk yang menjerumus kepada permasalahan sosial setempat. Penyelidikan dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti keberkesanan hubungan sosial- ruang ; faktor-faktor saling kait rekabentuk lorong belakang serta keberkesanannya dalam kualiti kehidupan masyarakat. Fokus penyelidikan akan bertumpu kepada kawasan perumahan teres di daerah Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia . Tujuan penyelidikan awalan untuk menentukan elemen-elemen utama yang perlu dinilai dalam rekabentuk lorong belakang yang bersesuaian untuk pembentukan sosio budaya ke arah kehidupan lestari. Sebanyak 25 responden telah diterima dari 40 borang kaji selidik yang diedarkan secara rawak. Beberapa aspek yang diteliti berdasarkan respon dari penghuni rumah merangkumi bentuk fizikal, bentuk aktiviti dan kepenggunaan,serta permasalahan keselamatan, kesihatan, dan keselesaan dari persepsi penghuni. Penemuan menunjukkan terdapat beberapa jenis fizikal rekabentuk lorong belakang yang berbeza , tidak digunakan, sepi dan kurang penyelenggaraan . Walau bagaimanapun responden terhadap keperluan elemen hijau di lorong belakang amat menggalakkan . Dengan responden ini, dilihat lorong belakang amat berpotensi bertindak sebagai kawasan pemangkin aktiviti sosial dan riadah, dijadikan sebagai suatu ruang hijau terbuka unutuk mencetuskan persekitaran sihat kearah kelestarian hidup . Penemuan dari kajian awalan ini digunakan untuk penyelidikan seterusnya yang lebih mendalam untuk menganalisis implikasi hubungan sosio- ruang; rekabentuk lorong belakang terhadap kualiti kehidupan masyarakat dari segi keselamatan, kesihatan, budaya dan agama

EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE POLICY AS A TOOL FOR SUSTAINING HOUSING STOCK IN DOWNTURN ECONOMY
Get PDFThe study considered how effective maintenance strategies could serve as a tool for sustaining housing delivery in periods of economic recession. It identified the causes of neglect of maintenance responsibilities in some selected government institutions, ministries, parastatals and public estates within Lagos metropolis and to develop adequate maintenance implementation strategies for these buildings. In achieving these objectives, opinions of (30) randomly sampled maintenance officers of selected government institutions, ministries, parastatals, and occupiers of selected public estates were collected using structured questionnaires and personal interviews. Data analysis indicated that lack of discernible maintenance culture in the country; lack of emphasis on training, retraining and continuing education on effective maintenance by establishment are the major reasons for neglect of maintenance responsibilities. The study also revealed that majority of the population studied provides budgets for maintenance operation but this was found to be inadequate. The study recommended proactive approaches to maintenance by providing guidelines for maintenance checklist operations on key building elements, frequencies for maintenance operations, and operatives required for effective implementation
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE TIME AND COST PERFORMANCE OF LABOUR-ONLY SUBCONTRACTORS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA
Get PDFThe main contractors are continuously involved in a process of transforming inputs (materials, labour and capital) into outputs such as constructed facilities but they are usually accompanied by subcontractors and financial institutions among other firms. This study therefore examined the performance of labour-only subcontractors in the Nigerian construction industry. The principal objective was to find if any significant difference exists between the time and cost performance of these speciality contractors. In achieving this objective, one hundred questionnaires were distributed to each of the four categories of respondents in the Southwestern region of Nigeria. 75, 88, 56 and 42 questionnaires were respectively filled and returned by the main contractors, labour-only subcontractors, clients and consultants in the study area. Descriptive, parametric and non parametric statistical techniques were used for the analysis. Results indicated that significant difference exists between time and cost performance of labour-only subcontractors. Their mean scores were 4.30 and 3.29 respectively. The labour subcontractor performed creditably well in project delivery (time) but there is always cost overruns when compared with the initial estimates of the projects. It was also discovered that subcontractors’ time performance is sometimes at the expense of work quality as a result of the speedy execution of work at hand in order to pave way for another engagement. It is therefore suggested that project monitoring and supervision should be given a priority attention if this procurement method is to achieve its expected success
