Modern Building

Retail globalization resulting in the modern building gives the influence to modernize bazaar. Is it appropriate if the government uses the same method when the bazaar cycle consecutively happens in Johar in the 1930s and 1970s where modern retail buildings were ineffectively used? There is no theory that can explain this phenomenon. The modern retail building is like a leaky container. Initially, the concept of retail in the United Kingdom is like a bazaar. The bazaar in Semarang was a tourist destination in 1950 just like a bazaar in other countries now. A next collaboration research needs to conduct with the United Kingdom and other countries that make the bazaar as a tourist asset.

The study of household behaviour towards debt is important in this challenging financial environment. Escalating household debt can cause social and economic problems. 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.

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.

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.

This research aims to identify the mediating part of both knowledge and awareness between students' attitude and media role during MCO. The findings from 338 respondents analysed using structural equation modelling found that knowledge and awareness mediate between media and students' attitude.
