The study is aimed at measuring urban farming participation motivations using the Expectancy Theory of Motivation which is made up of three aspects; namely expectancy, instrumentality and valence. This paper describes the findings regarding the expectancy aspect of motivation (measured by using Expectancy theory) in urban farming activity in Malaysia.Keywords: Expectancy, Urban farming, Motivational factor, Sustainable practice.eISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

Commercial organisations practise corporate hospitality to develop loyalty and trust, keep in touch with clients, and weather business. A challenge exists where corporate hospitality may camouflage corruption. One of the pertinent issues is addressing the obscuring boundaries of corporate hospitality to ensure commercial organisations in Malaysia are not trapped in the labyrinth of corruption, which will affect the sustainability of the business. This research employs a doctrinal approach that utilises library-based research to procure both primary and secondary sources. The research outcome may assist the government, policymaker, and commercial organisations' stakeholders in combating corrupt practices within their organisations.

Commodity consumption behaviour in eating places is heavily influenced by design factors, either its atmosphere or serving facilities. The preferences of eating places are influenced by the social class of people. The study aims to gain insight on people’s behaviour at restaurants and cafes associated with the design of the eating places. Based on the observations made on three eating places, there are different eating place preference behaviours. Besides its design and facilities, however, there are two types of eating places, which are used either to consume the food served or to enjoy the atmosphere of the place. © 2016 The Author.

Crime prevention is considered as the main agenda of the government. Nevertheless, it has usually been overlooked that the victim him/herself can be the contributing factor to the criminal incident. The main problem is in educating the community on the preventive measures that could be taken in order to avoid victimization of individuals. Such suggestions are based on Islamic principles. Hence this paper discusses the preventive measures that can be observed by both individuals and the community to prevent criminal victimization.

Day Program

In 2011, Malaysia introduced the No Plastic Bag Day program where stores charge a levy of MYR0.20 (USD0.06) on ach plastic bag used. Based on observations, participation in the program is moderate, with 47.7% of consumers willingly paid the levy. Those who bring their own bags are mostly female, Malay and Chinese customers. Consumers in the central region tend to avoid the levy. Based on findings of study, the NPBD program is 52.3% effective. In order to discourage the use of plastic bags, the government may need to reconsider the amount of levy charged on consumers.

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.
