Natural surveillance strategy in public areas can be established with high crowd engagement. Consideration of the type of pathway layout of green roof would determine the rate of public engagement, thus creating a safe environment for people to use the facility. Application of Space Syntax allows the analysis in determining pathway design layout with the highest rate of traffic engagement. Comparing a similar number of nodes and axial lines shows that axial line with more intersecting points creates more possibility of human interaction, higher crowd engagement thus functioning as natural surveillance in green roof setting.

There are various studies on how open spaces provide a positive reaction to human. Apparently, in relation to open spaces, Malaysia has received very little attention from researchers. The objective of this paper is to provide valuable insights into how human interact with outdoor urban environments. The analysis in this study will address human-human interaction and human-nature interaction in the open spaces at Taman Tasik Shah Alam in Selangor, Malaysia. The findings of this study will show the main domains of interaction towards open spaces together with the perceived benefits to the open spaces users.Keywords: Open Spaces; Physical Health, Outdoor Urban Environment; Human Interaction2398-4295 © 2017 The Authors.

This research examines the quality of streets and public life among women through observation. Axial analysis models are combined into Space Syntax to hypothesize the effect of grid layout on street vitality and sociability in shopping streets by using global and local integration to measure how women use the space. The result indicated that there is a correlation among these parameters with the following spatial configurative analyses; integrated streets attract more women pedestrians and how women feel as well as they use street space.Keywords: Democratic Street; Spatial Justice; Women; Space SyntaxeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

The distribution of crime is not uniform across either time or space and believed influenced by environmental design. This study examines the layout and identifies the risky space in a residential area of Kuala Lumpur. Four space syntax parameters and three years of burglary data analysed across two neighbourhoods. The correlation between the burglary rate and the parameter value carried out to identify the relationship. Results show a significant relationship between visibility parameter and burglary rate while there were similarities temporal patterns for both study areas. Results help planners and authorities to prevent crime through environmental design.Keywords: residential burglary; space syntax; natural surveillance; crime pattern  eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

Comprehensive Study

As an outcome of a comprehensive study on an area of 385.401 acres, a township in Alor Gajah, Malacca, was redesigned based on an innovative idea, ‘concept of night city’. The concept is believed to be economically viable. By using space syntax, an analysis of movement as well as the amount of activity likely to result from the movement is performed on the layout to determine if the redesign functions successfully. Results of the spatial analyses showed improvements in connectivity, integration, intelligibility and synergy levels. Based on the findings, the future town of Alor Gajah looks viable spatially.

Understanding crime has been in focus for a few decades. Significant research has begun to understand the relationship between spatial configuration and crime occurrence, which related back to human behaviour. In recent year, space syntax has been used as a method to analyse space and its spatial properties. Urban design researchers have employed the space syntax technique to analyse the geographic distribution of crime due to spatial and socio-demographic factors that could influence crime patterns. This paper describes how space syntax could be used to assess crime possibility in heritage areas, and the result supports the hypothesis.

The research aims to examine the spatial dominance by evaluating the relationship between the spatial configuration of streets network andthe proportion of pedestrians. In analyzing the street networks in Space Syntax, thequestion arises; to what extent the movement and activity may explain street integration among gender-based pedestrians. Theresult found that there is a correlation between spatial configurative analyses and women present in the streets -the more integrated and localized streetsattract more women pedestrians compared to the men. The research is relevant to spatial design interventions and policymaking to improve the gender-equal access to public space.

Spatial structure of 56 CCRCs(Continue Care Retirement Committee) which are mainly selected from AIA contest project are analyzed by using space syntax theory. Based on the result of common facility allocation and spatial centrality, three common facility allocation types and six route space integration models are defined. While the analysis shows the central allocation with route connected to a common facility being the highest integration place is the predominant spatial structure of common facility in US CCRCs, the combination of each common facility allocation type and route space integration models provide the fashion of common facility spatial structure in US CCRCs today.

This paper discusses the perceptions towards green roof among Malaysian professionals in built environment industry and its potential in the country’s market. A total of 30 projects of local green roofs has been identified and used in this study. Online survey is used as a tool to get feedback from the professionals in the construction discipline, the landscape architect, architect, developer, government officer, urban planner, project executive and also academicians. Based on the findings, most of the professionals perceived that a green roof is beneficial to apply in order to sustain the country development in the future.
