In any industrial planning project in Vietnam, housing for workers is always a top concern. However, these planned accommodations have not met workers' needs; Instead, they usually opted for housing out of planning. By carrying out a field survey, using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and multiple regression methods, this research will discover new factors and examine the relationships among variables to determine the elements that influence the workers' choice in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). It may lead to the planning re-evaluation and adjustments to meet the demands of workers.

Successful traditional settlements refer to a settlement environment that spontaneously built by residents who consider their existing site integrates with excellent social sustainability indicators. This study aims to determine the critical factors of physical character for social sustainability of a traditional settlement with the objective to identify the types of physical characteristics deemed as significant in daily social interaction among the locals. To achieve this, a quantitative method was employed using questionnaire survey distributed to 400 residents in two historic settlements, namely Kampung Pulau Duyong and Kampung Losong located at Kuala Terengganu. Both sites are selected due to good conservation practices observed concerning the physical landscape. The results generated from the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed eleven factors (11) related to social sustainability. Such factors then categorised into six latent factors, which are the preservation of local identity, safety, provision of infrastructure, natural qualities, accessibility, and availability of public spaces. The findings recall the relationship between physical aspects and social sustainability as a step towards improvement in historic site preservation efforts.Keywords: social sustainability; traditional settlement; factor analysis; Kuala TerengganueISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

This study was to analyse the visitors’ motives of visiting Bako National Park. A total of 564 visitors were interviewed. Varimax rotation method in factor analysis was employed to gain information from visitors on their behaviour reflecting their motives for ecotourism activities in the national park. The results showed that visitors visit a national park for four factors: challenge excursion, social trip, nature tour and getaway outing. This result may help the management authority to reposition national park attributes without neglecting the objectives of the national park existence.Keywords: national park; motivation; protection area; ecotourismeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

The aim of this paper was to test the applicability of multiple regression analysis and rank transformation regression in assessing the values of private heritage property. The original dataset consists of 893 commercial properties transacted from 2004 to 2014 in Kelantan Malaysia. After filtration process, only 25 units of shophouse heritage property were available and valid to be used. The models have been constructed and their statistical performances have been compared. The results indicate that adopting statistical methods of valuation per se to overcome the issue of unavailability of market evidence could not solve the consequences of the limited data problem.

This paper identifies components of satisfaction of public bus service in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.  Factor analysis is used to analyze 24 parameters satisfactions of public buses. This study succeeded in developing three dimensions of public bus service attributes, namely comfort, accessibility and safety and found that there is a slight difference in satisfaction between the minibus and bus transit, but users agreed that overcrowded and felt unsafe during the night were among the most significant attributes that affect their satisfaction. Transportation authorities can use these findings to enhance the quality of life of public transport users in the future.

This study aimed to explore the underlying visual factors in a community environment and how the visual factors affect the resident’s perception, emotion, and place attachment. Factor analysis and multiple regression had been employed to clarify this relationship. The factor analysis extracted visual environment into four factors: "architecture", "outdoor furnishing", "indicative symbol," and "healthy environmental element." The regression indicated that environmental perception and place attachment have different predictors. The former had predicted by "outdoor furnishing" and "healthy environmental element" while the latter affected by "architecture" and "indicative symbol". The emotion was only influenced by "outdoor furnishing". Keywords: Community environment; Visual elements; Environmental perception; Place attachment. eISSN: 2398-4287© 2020. The Authors.

The primary concern of this paper is to identify the relationship between attributes under physical qualities and activities that contribute to the user-friendly street. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is used in the early stages to gather information about the interrelationships among variables. The Cronbach’s Alpha (α) value was used to determine the level of reliability through the internal consistency for each factor. The result for the validity of all construct achieved Alpha (α) value exceeding 0.70. This research found that there are positive correlation between safety with comfort and convenience, safety with accessibility, and accessibility with comfort and convenience.Keywords: Urban shopping, street, physical quality, street activities, user-friendlyeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

This study validates the park usage scales for green open spaces in Malaysia. The measures on park usage were developed using three usage scales, which are activities, passive activity and active activity. Samples of 414 daily park users were analyzed, results showed good-fit indices on each construct confirming the theory behind each and every item used in the study. Despite several reductions on the items, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) on park usage yield good internal consistencies making it suitable for its use in the research design focusing in measuring the usage of Malaysian park users.Keywords: Park Usage; Green Open Spaces; Malaysian; Measurement; CFA.eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

Physical environmental elements such as gated elements are believed    to have an effect towards the reduction of fear of crime in residential neighbourhoods. In Malaysia, the typical form of residences is that involving gated individual houses, while residences without gated elements are relatively a new development concept. Therefore, a survey on fear of crime among residents in housing areas with gated and non-gated residences was conducted in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor and Precinct 9B, Putrajaya. This research discovered that respondents inhabiting a gated residential area exhibit a higher fear of crime level (M=5.84, SD=1.23) when compared to respondents living in a non-gated residential area (M=3.85, SD=1.66).
