For the past few years Malaysia has emerged as the highest household debt country in the ASEAN region. Therefore this study aims to examine the predictors of intention to incur household debt among Malaysian households. Analysis on 100 usable questionnaires in the pilot study revealed financial literacy and subjective norm as significant predictors of attitude and the mediating relationship between attitude and intention to incur on household debt was found to be negatively significant.Keywords: Household behaviour; household debt; financial environment; financial literacy2398-4295 © 2017 The Authors.

Over the past two decades, Antarctica has experienced a severe eco-environmental degradation due to tourism impacts. The new, diverse and complex tourism activities and technological advancements demonstrate the current regulatory system is insufficient. This study aims to analyse the Antarctic tourism impact, investigate the assessment methods and propose a dynamic management system. This paper suggests two assessment indicators i.e. ATEF and ATECC along with nine management strategies. A flowchart demonstrates the dynamic process of impact analyses, assessment and management. This system can be deployed to design a dynamic regulatory system toward sustainable Antarctic tourism.    Keywords:  Antarctic tourism; impact; management; eco-environment. eISSN 2514-7528 © 2018.

The past few decades have shown that the opportunity for children to have a direct connection with nature and outdoor environment declined due to rapid urbanization. Children face various physical and health problems as consequences from this phenomenon. This paper presents a review on benefits of nature on children’s developmental needs. The review also highlights children’s experience in nature and the effect of disconnection from nature. In summary, it is crucial to understand children’s view towards nature and environment in creating spaces that reconnect them with nature. Designing for children today is indeed designing for the future as well.Keywords: Children, nature, connection, developmental needseISSN 2398-4295 © 2018. The Authors.
