Low Income Housing

The research firmament is not lacking studies on low income housing. Most studies utilize a top to bottom approach in the sense that the problem identification is from the point of view or the research interests of the researcher. These issues emanate from researchers understanding and perception of a practical problem. A research agenda that focus on issues from the point of view of low income people as revealed in their housing production practice is proposed. This is to ensure that the knowledge contribution of low income research impact on low income housing policy and practice.2398-4295 © 2016. The Authors.

Low Income Housing

The paper illustrates how housing produced by the low income in Ogbere area of Ibadan is negotiated from the societal complex due to the inability of government to provide for them and low income housing not being attractive to the profit driven private sector. Quantitative and qualitative methods were adopted while using the lens of Lefebvre’s theory of space to examine the people, the process and the houses produced. The findings necessitate situating low income housing standards, quality and policy interventions in the social context to upgrade the quality of life in urban areas.

There is large call in Malaysia to study on how tertiary students perceived the performance of service quality of student housing; and to understand on how they translated their perceptions into behavioural intentions and personal attainments. The rationale for this paper is to explain the elements which constitute behavioural intentions and personal attainments; which is based on conventional reviews of plentiful volume of published journals from 1985 until 2014 in the area of student housing research. The results of the review clarified that behavioural intentions consist of favourable and unfavourable intentions; while personal attainments comprise of intellectual and self-development gains.

Information on depression and its contributing factors among the staff of the academic institution is sparse. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression among them and investigate its contributing factors. We used the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale 21-item and pro forma questionnaires to assess the presence of depression, sociodemographic factors, personal factors and job-related factors. Of 278 participants, 27.7% had clinical depression. Contributing factors include inadequate workplace facilities, low-tier job category, working in urban campus and low income. Addressing factors underpin depression among staff in the academic institution is crucial to ensure early interventions can be offered.Keywords: Depression; Academic Institution; Workers; Contributing FactorseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

Mental disorder can be overcome through psychological restoration (PR) in urban agglomerations. There is a growing need for restoration in the urban surrounding environment. Despite many studies on nature and PR, hardly any research in neuroscience and urban nature, its relationship with Pro-Environment Behaviour (PEB), and PR for urban low-income groups (B40). Therefore, this paper attempts to explore prospects via the literature overviews. From the significant literature, a conceptual Neuro-Landscape Model and methodological research framework have been developed. In conclusion, this model can be verified further to gain significant evidence for addressing concerns in the well-being of B40 in Malaysia.Keywords: Neuro-Landscape (NL), Pro-Environment Behaviour (PEB), Psychological Restoration (PR), Low Income Group (B40)eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

It discusses the dire need of vital enrichment of policy and practice. The paper makes a case for E-B studies by exposing new challenges, nascent fields and the need to fine tune application of local and traditional learning enriched through people’s experience and feedback in the Asian context.2398-4295 © 2016.
