“…Whereas previous research in Islamic housing focuses on the mortgage where the bank is included (Alaghbari, et al, 2011;Eroğlu, et al, 2012;Hamid and Masood, 2011;Usman and Lizam, 2016;Wulandari et al, 2016). The results of this paper differ from all of them because the object of the research is different, namely the respondents who bought housing without involving bank or any financial institution.…”

An increasing demand for a sharia-compliant housing has resulted in a new initiative where the mortgage can presently be directly handled by the developer without involving the bank. This is called non-bank Islamic mortgage. This paper is aimed at portraying the consumer's profile of non-bank Islamic mortgage and the issues of this practice. We disseminated questionnaires to the respondents in several cities in West Java who bought the house-using non-bank Islamic mortgage scheme. Subsequently, we synthesized the answers regarding their profiles and issues of the scheme for the betterment in the future. One of the issues of this scheme is the higher fraud because there is no rigorous credit scoring as conducted by the bank. The research of non-bank Islamic mortgage is still scant so this paper is expected to shed the light by contributing to the literature of Islamic home financing.

“…The poor performance of construction projects in Yemen is correlated with a lack of appropriate project management implementation (Al-Sabahi et al, 2014). Some studies in the area of construction management in Yemen focused on the influence of project management on project performance (Al-Sabahi et al, 2014), sustainability of the construction industry (Sultan, 2005), barriers of construction development and construction cost (Sultan and Kajewski, 2004) and construction cost of housing projects (Alaghbari et al, 2011). However, there is a lack of studies about risk factors and management in construction projects in Yemen.…”

Construction projects are inherently exposed to various risk and uncertainties. Numerous studies have identified risk factors in construction projects in developed and developing countries. Yemen has witnessed revolutions and wars during the past six years, which affected the construction sector among other sectors. The purpose of this paper is to determine risk factors during the unrest period in Yemen. A list of 72 risk variables was developed based on the literature review followed by a questionnaire survey to determine relevant variables and factors. The results of this study explored new components of risk variables, namely environmental, resource-related, technical, conflict, design-related, profit-related, liquidity and revolution, and change. In addition, the results indicated critical risks affecting construction projects and main strategies to respond to them. The results of this paper provide an essential step for managing risks, so project managers and other professionals can ensure good project performance. However, further study is required to investigate the effectiveness of risk response strategies proposed in this paper.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the design of public low-cost housing in Jigawa State, Nigeria and assess how residents perceived the housing units in relation to their culture and impact on their well-being. The housing units were constructed as an intervention by the government for low-income earners. This research was conducted through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. In qualitative aspect, three respondents were interviewed to express their perception on the public low-cost housing design, while quantitative aspect assessed the residential housing attributes of low-cost housing estates with view to identify the important housing attributes considered by the residents for their well-being and was used to support the qualitative aspect. This was achieved through descriptive statistics using Relative Importance Index (RII). A well-structured questionnaire was administered to the residents of public low-cost housing of Jigawa state, Nigeria. The results indicated that, the design of public low-cost housing in Jigawa State, Nigeria does not reflect the culture of the residents, most of the residents were not satisfied with it. In addition, out of fifty five (55) constructs from five (5) housing-related dimensions, the result identified thirty two (32) important attributes out of these, the residents considered twelve (12) to be the most important attributes affecting their well-being. Thus, the paper would serve as a blueprinted government, housing policy makers and housing developers to understand that, the housing constructions and infrastructural elements should reflect the cultural background of the beneficiaries. Views of beneficiaries before and after construction of public low-cost housing are of great importance. The findings of this paper were based on reviewed of earlier studies on residential-housing units, field work and research conducted on particularly the public low-cost housing in Jigawa State, Nigeria
