This paper examines the role of culture and religion in the conception and regulation of visual privacy and design attributes affecting it. The study involves a survey interview of 381 respondents and 11 case studies of Malay Muslims living in two-storey terrace housing in urban areas in Malaysia. Findings indicate despite changes in living condition and a new paradigm in culture-housing, culture and religion play an important role in the conception and regulation of visual privacy. Successful regulation through the physical element and behavioural norms provides visual privacy despite the lack of visual privacy due to design attributes.Keywords: Visual privacy; culture; religion; privacy regulationeISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

Civil society plays an important role in supporting the development of the country. However, the lack of current studies focuses on this aspect, especially from the fiqh approach. Thus, this paper will explore the principle of ‘La Dharar Wa La Dhirar’ as a guide in empowering the role of civil society in the built environment. This qualitative study accomplished the content analysis from Kitab al-I’lan Bi Ahkam Al-Bunyan. The findings indicated that several essences derived from the Kitab related the roles of civil society towards the sustainable built environment in the future.

The provisions and accessibility of natural environment in Malaysian public paediatric wards in the Klang Valley were analysed further, based on data obtained in earlier studies pertaining to the general status and physical design trend of those wards. Data collected were based on personal observations, questionnaires, interviews and documentations, which involved eight paediatric wards located in both urban and non-urban areas. Findings revealed patients were less satisfied with the provisions and accessibility provided. While those negative feelings could impact upon their healing process, hence upon their Length of Stay (LOS), however, such correlation could not be determined in the present study.Keywords: Paediatric community; natural environment; healing process; length of stayeISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

The medieval Islamic cities were described to be systematically managed by the institution of hisba, henceforward, inspiring modern Muslims to revive the Islamic paradigm of urban management. Nevertheless, not much is being discussed on the role of muhtasib as an urban regulator. Furthermore, it has been wrongly understood only as a market inspector. Thus, employing the content analysis approach, this article examines the roles of muhtasib in urban management, based on selected manuals of muhtasib, written during the medieval times. Interestingly, the findings indicate a series of Islamic principles on urban management that match modern urban management, albeit the difference of time.

Urban farming is the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around urban areas. Urban farming is a relatively new trend in Malaysia and has increased in recent years. As urban farming remains to be promoted by municipal governments and others, it is essential to understand how to ensure these projects are viable. This study was conducted to identify the deterrent factors that hinder the "community buy-in" in the urban farming projects and how to overcome the problem so that "community buy-in" in the urban farming project will be achieved and sustain in the future.Keywords: Urban Farming; Deterrent Factors; Participation; Community Buy-IneISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Mediation (sulh) is a method of dispute resolution that has just been revived and gaining traction currently. In Malaysia, the implementation of sulh is limited to the resolution of matrimonial disputes. This solution has proven to be effective as it confirms the understanding of the parties. This paper explores the role of sulh in resolving neighbourhood disputes in the built environment from an Islamic perspective. This qualitative study uses the content analysis method of Kitab Al-Ghayah Wa Nihayah. It was found that integrating sulh helps reduce legal disputes and strive for the social welfare of society.
