Enhancing the affiliation with campus green spaces is an intervention of wellbeing promotion in an urban university campus, and beneficial outdoor experience may result from the concept of salutogenic landscape design where the sensory perception plays a vital role. Therefore, this paper aims to propose operative approaches for assessing sensory perception towards the implementation of salutogenic projects in campus green space. Two identified sites at two different faculties were selected as exploratory studies by focusing on the physical environment for defining influential variables to develop comprehensive research methods. Keywords: sensory perception; open spaces; salutogenic; wellbeingeISSN: 2514-7528 © 2020 The Authors.

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.

Fear of crimes has been led to restrictions on freedom residents and prevented them from participating in the public domain. One of the strategies to overcome the crime is (CPTED) which emphasizes on decreasing delinquencies by urban design and through modelling it's principles in public open spaces. A survey on the perception of the relationship between support of social activities and fear of crime among 60 residents in Omid Residential Complex was conducted. The results found that the usage location, providing usage in the abandoned spaces and usage combination, have the highest impact on the residents' place attachment, respectively.

The conservation efforts for heritage architecture are currently trending. This paper aims to uncover the conservation of traditional markets after experiencing a fire in the Johar market, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. After the market was renovated, it turned out that it had not included all traders in it. Using the historical method, there is revealing that the number of traders exceeds the room's capacity. Theory discusses about the conservation approach and applied adaptive reuse theory found that the initial plan, is possible to return its function as a market by adjusting the number of traders' capacity. The advantages of traders are recommended to occupy the old square area as open spaces to be attractive for heritage tourism.

This study discusses the development of the Malay garden concept using the old Malay manuscripts and site observation to the Malay villages along Peninsular Malaysia. The inherited landscape design concept can offer as a guideline to conserve the integrity and the authenticity of the traditional Malay garden design and the strength of these characters will extensively use in developing the concept of landscape design in Malaysia due to the increasing awareness of design and the quality of life.

Attempt to rehabilitate the degraded land has been made, and has evidenced many successful redevelopments atop of the land. This paper attempts to look into the specific role of landscape architects in remedying the former dump site. The conceptual design by using principles of the regenerative landscape has been experimented through the proposed remediation of ex-landfill in Mukim Krubong, Malacca. Utilisation of the tropical plant species as an adaptive mechanism to ecologically remedying the contaminated land has been identified. It is hoped that the findings of this paper could contribute to expanding knowledge for sustainable landscape regeneration.© 2016. The Authors.

This paper investigates the effect of vegetation in modifying outdoor temperature around a single-family house in a hot and humid tropical climate. The climatic parameters, house location, and physical characteristics of landscape design are measured and surveyed. The focus of this study is on the impact of trees and different types of foliage on the thermal environment of the houses.  The main findings are that heavily landscape around single-family houses can potentially slow heat build-up by shading, evapotranspiration, and wind channelling by as much as 4°C.Keywords: Single-family house, thermal performance, landscape design, evapotranspirationeISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

This Every garden design is different and has its identity and style, dictated by site, size, microclimate and the preferences of their creators. The recorded data and analysis conducted for this research included the general landscape design, garden size, and data about the five main categories of soft landscaping, includes trees, shrubs, vines, groundcover and turf. In tropical regions, trees are the most important plant structure in a garden. Foliage-canopy structures and vertical woody species distribution are important factors, as they can influence shading, evapotranspiration and the channeling of the wind.Keywords: Single-family house, thermal performance, landscape design, evapotranspirationeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

Higher education building (HEB) is believed to be key functional. It spawns not only environment, but also human and economic resources. Initially, growing students’ population with various learning activities has constituted risk emergence, inefficient of energy use and climate discomfort. Thus, it decreases the yearly total performance of the building. To sustain the building efficiency, Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) plays a vital role to improve performance issues in HEB. Hence, this paper explores the significance of users’ feedback as the concept of building performance. This paper also describes literatures on the HEB’s background including risk factors and performance issues. eISSN 2514-751X © 2018. The Authors.
