Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the preferred communication channels to foster energy conservation behaviour among office building users. Energy demand from the commercial sector in Malaysia is, at 33.2 per cent, the highest after the industry sector, at 45.1 per cent. The country’s progress in actively practising energy conservation is lacking, despite various energy conservation programmes having been launched in recent years. A large amount of energy is wasted by users’ poor energy conservation behaviour. To market voluntary energy conservation behaviour, the delivery of energy conservation messages using the appropriate communication channels remains an important strategy. Design/methodology/approach This paper involves two-stage data collection. The communication categories associated with a set of channels identified from expert interview serve as the basis for the second stage of empirical data gathering using conjoint analysis. A choice-based conjoint analysis assisted by Sawtooth Software is used to analyse the 525 usable empirical data gathered from a final questionnaire survey among the office building users in Malaysia. Findings This paper has identified five communication categories associated with a total of 19 channels. The mass media is acknowledged as the most preferred communication channel among office building users in the marketing of energy conservation behaviour, while the least preferred channel to communicate energy conservation information is audio-visual media. Originality/value This study contributes to existing literature with a novel case in Malaysia office building by identifying the preferred combination of communication channels in fostering energy conservation behaviour. The findings could benefit the building managers in marketing energy conservation behaviour among office building users to effectively achieve the desired change for sustainable development.

The image of many cities in today's world has been influenced by the growing globalization along with rapidly developing demographic, technological, and economic movements. From the perspective of the last two decades, the increased high-rise development in the world is clearly visible. In recent years, modern high-rise buildings have impacted the city landscape and have become a major issue in terms of the landscape protection of a city like Istanbul with a historical peninsula silhouette. In this study, which discusses the aesthetics of the man-made environment, various factors have been evaluated by the users based on the formal aesthetic dimension in the 4th Levent area, where high-rise buildings are dense. In this context, this study aims to determine the factors that increase preferences in urban landscapes, user preferences, and the attitudes of different social groups towards the place. The main method of the study, which is based on visual landscape assessment techniques, is the visual survey technique which is administered with visuals and which is used for determining the user's perception of the place. 95 individuals participating in the survey were asked to evaluate formal aesthetic parameters for 15 selected high-rise buildings. One-way ANOVA, correlation and regression tests were employed to analyze the data collected through the survey. The findings and conclusions are thought to provide significant resources to city stakeholders in future urban landscape studies.

Identifying user preferences is a very important activity before offering a suggestion or a product. E-learning systems also follow suit in identifying the user preferences of learning style before offering the e-learning contents. There are several methods discussed in the literature for identifying the user preferences for e-learning contents. This paper presents a new method for the same purpose. The core of the new method is Conjoint Analysis, which is based on the type of the contents, preferred volume for each type of content and the ranking for the various combinations of the contents and their preferred volumes. The outcome of this method is the most preferred learning style of an individual learner.

One of the potential that can be used to solve the congestion problem that occurred in the city of Makassar is by utilizing channels as urban transport medium. Makassar City has three channels with an overall length of 15.11 km, which two of them can be used as a water transport medium. The channels consist of Jongayya Channel (7.83 km), and Panampu Channel (4.92 km). Channel transportation can be one solution to reduce the congestion problems that occurred in the city of Makassar. The purpose of this study is to determine demand potential of waterwa y-based transport modes on Channel Panampu and Jongaya, factors that affect the willingness to use channel as a transportation medium, to identify user preferences related to channel planning as a transportation medium, and to identify the extent to which the role of the channel to become alternative transportation medium. To achieve these objectives, this study used a descriptive-quantitative methods approach. And were subsequently used crosstab analysis method, multinomial logistic regression and approach with stated preference methods.

Understanding the role of urban public spaces in today’s historic Spanish Mediterranean cities is a key priority for researchers and urban professionals. Increasingly, social media showcases users’ preferences, a trend that can provide an indication as to why some urban public spaces are preferred over others. This research focuses on preferred urban public spaces in historic cities in the province of Alicante (Spain) and has two objectives: to identify their urban morphological features; and, to recognise similar traits in terms of their location within the urban structure. The method involved: first, analysing Foursquare social media data on user preferences about urban public spaces; second, studying spatial and functional urban attributes; and third, recognising their role within the city structure. The results demonstrate that the preferred urban spaces share morphological attributes; a central position in the urban structure; mixed-use ground floor activities; and the presence of relevant urban public facilities.
