The designated learning environment for autism is unique and should consider sensory issues to overcome their needs. The purpose of this paper is to review related articles to gain a better understanding of autism needs regarding sensory design, sensory issues, sensory space, internal environment, and physical learning environment. This paper will outline the sensory design of the physical learning environment that would impact the sensory design towards the physical learning environment. This research paper concludes to be a guide for the designer to overcome sensory input so that autistic can learn more efficiently and develop with less stress.Keywords: Autism; sensory design; sensory issues; physical learning environmenteISSN: 2398-4295 © 2019.

The increasing numbers of autism give impact to the country, community and family. The only way to help autistic children is to provide them with proper education. Thus, architects play roles in creating responsive buildings. A pilot test has carried out on a group of people similar to the research population. The objective is to assess the reliability and validity of a questionnaire. Four sections (144 items) determining the frequency of Sensory Sensitivity, Sensory Stimulation, Sensory Design and Physical Learning Environment. Respondent (N=35) completed the survey and the reliability test resultant to reveal inconsistencies and revising the criteria accordingly.

The designated learning environment should be created as a unique learning space for autistic children and consider the sensory issues to overcome their needs. This learning environment would help Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to continue their education in different environments to survive independently in the real world. This study used the variables of sensory stimulation, sensory sensitivity, sensory design, and physical learning environment to construct a questionnaire. It would distribute to architects towards achieving their level of knowledge and awareness. Findings are useful in the future for architects and designers when making decisions to provide conducive facilities for the autistic.

Autism occurs in every racial and ethnic group gives a life-long impact to their affected relative. Conducive physical learning environment deliver benefit and helps autistic children improve their skill and performance.  This research aims to develop a framework of the Physical Learning Environment, and this paper to determine the respondent knowledge of awareness on physical learning environment for autism. In summary, there are nine components involved: building scale, accessibility, wayfinding, toilet provision, window, ventilation/heating, threshold, legibility, and furniture. The significance of this research could contribute towards the creation of a quality environment for autistic children within the Malaysian context.   Keywords: Autism; physical learning environment; descriptive analysis. eISSN: 2398-4287© 2021.

The quality of finishes of housing space is imperative for the achievement of a qualitative living environment. This paper presents a part of the findings of housing interior finishes choices – behaviour and motivation among prospective house owners in Nigeria. The study was conducted within the methodological and conceptual frameworks of Means-End Chain (MEC) and Stated Housing Preference and Housing Choice (SHPHC) models. A questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews were used to generate data which were content analysed. The results showed that 71.95% of the respondents preferred ceramic tiled floor finishes as the various motivational factors. Further research in housing interior finishes choice motivation is required. Keywords: means-end chain, laddering, stated housing preference and housing choice, housing interior finishes © 2017.

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.

This study explores the use of sensory gardens by observing the zones and how they are utilised by children with special educational needs. Methods applied were interviews, observation and behaviour mapping, which was used in conjunction with the affordance theory. Affordance was categorised by landscape furniture, soft and hard landscape in relation to three categories of activities: Sensory stimulation, physical and social skills. The findings had discovered continuous pathways that link the sensory garden to the site context, had easy access to the features, and had the highest number of user. This study also found that users spent a longer time in zones where sensory, rather than aesthetic value, was emphasised.
