Section Analysis

The objective of this study is to re-evaluate the conceptualisation of super levees by focussing on the availability of open spaces as evacuation areas along the Arakawa River. By using land use, occupation and cross-section analysis, this study found that open spaces on super levees able to accommodate a large number of evacuees. This proves that the development of super levees is undeniably ready to provide sizeable safe upland evacuation area for nearby residents. This study also implies that the future development of super levee should include more open space by the development of a public park on the site.

From the early 50s onwards the major Iranian cities were subject to a massive immigration. The immediate solution to this crisis was to build a residential complex in the less populated areas. After few decades of accommodation, while having limited open space, this policy created physical, functional, semantic, environmental, and social problems. Today, the challenge confronted the designers and architectures are to improve the quality of both open spaces and living condition of the inhabitances while at the same time compete in the housing market with a limited budget for their expenditures.2398-4295 © 2016.

The quality of life for the elderly is intimately related to the green open space. The use of this space will directly affect the health resilience of the elderly. The research methodology for this research comprised three stages. Stage one, to identify the health resilience from the previous studies. Content analysis was used in stage two to determine health resilience catalyst for the elderly. The final stage was to stream the influence element of health resilience for the elderly. The findings have implications for improving intervention plans designed to boost resilience and promote healthy ageing for the elderly.

There are various studies on how open spaces provide a positive reaction to human. Apparently, in relation to open spaces, Malaysia has received very little attention from researchers. The objective of this paper is to provide valuable insights into how human interact with outdoor urban environments. The analysis in this study will address human-human interaction and human-nature interaction in the open spaces at Taman Tasik Shah Alam in Selangor, Malaysia. The findings of this study will show the main domains of interaction towards open spaces together with the perceived benefits to the open spaces users.Keywords: Open Spaces; Physical Health, Outdoor Urban Environment; Human Interaction2398-4295 © 2017 The Authors.

The conservation efforts for heritage architecture are currently trending. This paper aims to uncover the conservation of traditional markets after experiencing a fire in the Johar market, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. After the market was renovated, it turned out that it had not included all traders in it. Using the historical method, there is revealing that the number of traders exceeds the room's capacity. Theory discusses about the conservation approach and applied adaptive reuse theory found that the initial plan, is possible to return its function as a market by adjusting the number of traders' capacity. The advantages of traders are recommended to occupy the old square area as open spaces to be attractive for heritage tourism.

A Transportation infrastructure projects often involve the considerable land use and huge resource that can cause serious impacts to the environment and social dislocation. Hence, implementation of sustainable factors is essential. This paper attempts (1) to review infrastructure project sustainability factor and performance, and (2) to propose a framework o relationship between the sustainability factors and performance for railway projects in Malaysia. The results from the literature show that sustainability factors and performance can be categorized under environment, economic, social, engineering/resource utilization and project managementKeywords: Transportation; infrastructure project; sustainability factors; sustainability performanceeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

This paper is a comparative study of place identity of nighttime urban public parks between Shah Alam that was built in 1957 and Putrajaya in 1999. This study used four research domains that form place identity adapted from Relph, 1976 and Cheshmehzangi, 2012. The method of this study involves the behavior mapping survey and the questionnaire survey. The data were then analysed using Measurable Indicator Scoring Technique (Karim, 2008) to ensure constant comparative process by creating analytic codes. It is hope that the findings from this study would help to improve the place identity and functions of future nighttime urban public parks.Keywords: Nighttime place identity; urban public park; Measurable Indicator Scoring TechniqueeISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.
