Synergising rural change based on modern rural approach: Formulation of a modern Malaysian rural development framework / Mohd Fadzil Abdul Rashid ... [et al.]
Get PDFThe Malaysian government aims to transform rural areas into economic focal points, improve rural livelihoods, living environment and narrow the life quality gaps between those living in urban and rural areas. This aspiration can be seen through a translation in many national development policies, particularly in Dasar Perancangan Fizikal Desa Negara (the DPF Desa Negara 2030), Dasar Pembangunan Luar Bandar (the DPLB 2030) and the most current is Wawasan Kemakmuran Bersama (the WKB 2030). Inspired by the government directive-aspirations and the emergence of new technologies in rural practices, nationally and globally, this paper discusses the formulation of a framework for rural development in Malaysia based on the modern rural approach; that is a solution to synergise rural change and social well-being of the community. The process undertakes to formulate the framework comprised into two main stages, namely focused literature study and review of the existing policies and strategies to identify the key assessment elements and criteria for modern rural development, and conduct an expert view survey to validate the developed elements and criteria and then formulate a modern Malaysian rural development framework (FMRD). The FMRD has finally been formulated by incorporating all the important elements and criteria of the DPF Desa Negara 2030 and the DPLB 2030 as well as integrating them with the smart technologies and ICT practices to reflect a holistic approach for rural problems. This paper concludes that the FMRD is a timely approach for the rural assessment to maximise the rural performance towards the future niches in Malaysia - rural sustainability-resilient-and-smart
Framework to assess driver’s visibility at road junction / Kushairi Rashid ... [et al.]
Get PDFModern lifestyles do influence Malaysian occupants to work long hours in a day in order to cope with large workloads and to meet a deadline. Majority of the occupants are overstressed, faced with negative emotions that lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. Studies show that nature is able to enhance human well-being by reconnecting human with natural elements in a built environment, which is known as biophilic design. Therefore, this study aims to create a biophilic design guideline to enhance occupants' well-being in heritage adaptive reuse indoor co-working space. This study is conducted in the Heritage World Site (WHS) in George Town, Penang. Mixed method research design was used to collect data from the site. Both qualitative and quantitative data were analysed using the triangulation method to validate the overall data and research by cross verifying the information from multiple methods to gather the data. The results proved that the existing biophilic design patterns do enhance co-workers' emotional well-being significantly and it can be used as design guideline. In addition, this study also investigated different ways of biophilic design patterns application which can affect the quality of biophilic experiences
Student's Perception on Walkability Performance of Campus Facilities: a Case study of UiTM Perak, Seri Iskandar Campus
Get PDFThis study is trying to investigate the perceptions of student in term of walkability performances of campus
facilities in UiTM Perak, Seri Iskandar Campus. For the past few years, UiTM Perak has been promoting
"Experiential Learning in A Green Environment". One of the main component to achieve green
environment is walkability. Walking has been a part of an everyday routine for students in Malaysian
universities. Almost every university in Malaysia is built in a complex compound. Therefore, walking is a
must for moving from one point to another. Walking as mode of transportation will promote good health
and a sustainable environment. The pedestrian and walkway seem to be lacking and not well maintained.
This has been an issue for the students who live in the campus, when they need to walk from their
residential block to their academic block as they tend to walk on the street rather than on the pedestrian.
This study incorporates two methodologies, based on quantitative and qualitative method to justify this
situation. Data collected via questionnaires from 200 students of UiTM Perak, Seri Iskandar Campus who reside on campus. For qualitative method, a visual study was conducted to study in terms of visual perception. This study is expected to give a clear perspective to the university regarding the problems and what needs to be done for the future development of the built environment
