Abstract: Sustainable urban regeneration (SUR) represents an advanced and comprehensive approach to urban regeneration, aiming to integrate the three key pillars of sustainable development. While various global framework exist for measuring sustainable urban regeneration performance, a dedicated method tailored to the specificities of the Malaysian context remains absent. This study addresses this gap by developing SUR evaluation method for Malaysia, utilising indicators as a means to gauge sustainability performance. A… Show more

The establishment of a green campus assumes significance in ensuring comfort and elevating the overall quality of life. This study was conducted to ascertain the variability in the questionnaires and delineate the attributes of questions exhibiting high variation in the results. Therefore, constructing the UniSZA Green Campus index based on the acquired weighted values. A total of 420 questionnaires were returned out of 500. Principal Component Analysis was employed to extract distinctive information from the amalgamated dataset. The results of the analysis draw out four factors that were discerned and subsequently interpreted as environmental management (46.65%), environmental infrastructure (12.53%), environmental atmosphere (6.35%), and environmental program (5.39%). In assessing the variation of the UniSZA Green Campus Index, distinct categories were identified, encompassing excellent, good, fair, poor, and bad classifications. This study suggests that the average UniSZA Green Campus index is situated within the second category. Despite the indication of good standing, the university should proactively take steps to ensure that UniSZA aligns with the principles of environmental sustainability in daily practices. The index system can serve as a guide for universities to attain sustainability on their campuses.

The urban community, which is the fundamental unit of the city, has recently been governed inefficiently and extensively. Common occurrences like the dirty-disorderly-disparity appearance and slow operations of local public facilities have become a barrier to the growth of resilient urban oasis. The concept of lean governance emerges in the community retrofit at the right time under Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) to incorporate the “Green, Ecological and Low-Carbon” philosophy in the life cycle of the urban green community. In the life cycle of a green community retrofit, there are a variety of stakeholders whose objectives and interests are both in line with and at odds with one another, particularly during the community retrofit or construction management phases. Rebuilding a lean governance performance evaluation system is the goal to increase effectiveness and appease stakeholders in community retrofit under a PPP model. Principal component analysis (PCA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) are used to build the input-output performance evaluation index system of the lean governance of the urban community. It compensates for the lack of domestic and international research on the assessment of the lean obsolete community governance level. In addition, the paper uses eighteen urban old communities in China that were renovated under PPP model as the subject of an empirical study. It uses a quantitative model to assess the level of lean governance in these communities and offers recommendations for performance enhancement. To successfully implement the new-type urban green community retrofit under the PPP model, a co-governance mechanism is established.

The worldwide emphasis on heritage building conservation has become one of the strategies to effectively conserve the values of heritage buildings and preserve their historic significance. Heritage buildings, acknowledged as vital assets for local development, particularly in the realm of tourism and cultural enrichment, require conservation efforts aligned with urban regeneration initiatives. Despite these international efforts, challenges persist in implementing effective conservation strategies, resulting in continuing deterioration. Therefore, a better understanding of the approach needed to conserve heritage building is important for its long-term sustainability. This qualitative study, involving site observation and semi-structured interviews with the Ipoh City Council and caretakers of selected heritage buildings, focuses on Ipoh Old Town as a case study as it is a historical area abundant in heritage and cultural elements. The findings highlight preservation and rehabilitation as prevalent conservation approaches, while restoration poses notable challenges in sustaining heritage buildings in Ipoh Old Town.
