“…This connection with nature has been shown to enhance users' hedonic experiences, promoting feelings of calmness, rejuvenation, and an overall sense of happiness. This is supported by Han et al, (2020) and Zemke et al (2018) that the hotel's green practices significantly increased values and pro-environmental intentions, and both hedonic and utilitarian values. Delivering personalized and attentive service that caters to individual needs, preferences, and desires can create a positive emotional connection and enhance the hedonic experience.…”

Performance effectiveness in the hotel’s operational stage is significant for hotel industry as the industry relies on customer satisfaction towards the service. Fulfilling the customer’s satisfaction and users’ hedonic on the aesthetic appearance, interiors, room decorations, and furnishings is crucial for hotel's operational and facilities management concept. However, awareness the management of tangible interiors and aesthetic performance on sustainable interiors products are still lacking in the hotel's operational performance. This study aims to close the loop between the sustainable interior design (SID) and facilities management, by identifying the criteria of SID relating to hotel’s operational performance and user’s hedonic consumption. A semi-structured interview was carried out this study involving three professionals; architect, interior designer, GBI facilitator, in various green hotels project. The data is analysed using ATLAS.ti9© qualitative software. The findings revealed that there are seven (7) sustainable ID criteria consists of biophilic, energy efficiency, water consumption, health and social flexibility, environmental comfort, ergonomics, and green awareness. This study is significant for the hoteliers in identifying critical elements contributed to the successful performance in hotel’s operational stage using sustainable interiors.

“…In addition, this article considered that a unification of the indicators that measure religiosity is necessary since the results vary widely according to the selected indicators [ 13 ]. Other research has demonstrated that the hedonic and utilitarian performances of volunteer tourism significantly and positively contribute to increasing travellers’ mental health, which ultimately enhances their prosocial intentions [ 14 ]. Last, community integration of persons with mental disorders was another topic addressed in a Korean sample [ 15 ].…”

Mental disorders are one of the greatest public health concerns of our time, and they are affected by social factors. To reduce the considerable burden of mental disorders, more global and systematic knowledge of the social determinants of mental health is necessary. This paper presents the results of the 27 studies included in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Special Issue, “Social Determinants of Mental Health”. The studies are grouped into four broad categories: social inclusion and mental health, young people’s mental health, mental health at work, and mental health service users. The results cover different countries, age populations, settings, and methodologies. Finally, the main findings on the relationship between social determinants and mental health are presented and summarized.

“…As mentioned by Andargie et al (2020), evaluating happiness as a social characteristic focuses on understanding and enhancing the overall happiness levels of individuals through the built environment. Happiness is a common social behaviour in any evaluation of products, facilities or services and is regarded as hedonic consumption (Han et al , 2020; Zemke et al , 2018). Happiness is closely connected to physical health and stress reduction, as it is capable of creating an attractive work environment that can contribute to employee retention and foster a positive organizational culture.…”

Purpose This paper explores the patterns of the current needs of users' social characteristics in post occupancy evaluation (POE) associated with the environmental performance of green buildings using systematic literature review (SLR). This paper aims to establish a conceptual nexus between environmental performance mandates and the current needs of the users' social characteristics. Design/methodology/Approach This paper adopts a SLR approach designed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for 21 articles that were selected as qualitative synthesis in this study. The search parameter for the selected articles in this review was limited to publications in three databases, Scopus, Web of Science and Emerald, between January 2016 and January 2023, with the help of qualitative software ATLAS.ti 9© in the presentation of the network codes. The initial literature search has retrieved 99 papers which sequentially excluded 42 papers due to exclusion criteria, and the researcher was left with 57 papers. Out of 57, 14 papers were then removed due to duplication of records found in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, and 43 articles were further screened for qualitative synthesis. A thorough critical appraisal was applied to ensure that only selected papers were included, consensus was achieved among the authors and 22 papers were excluded. The qualitative synthesis has finalized 21 studies, and they are selected as confirmative findings. Findings Using network codes presentation of ATLAS.ti 9©, the result shows that the social characteristics are influenced by the evaluated building category and the users' category – the stakeholders (owners, designers) and the occupants. New-fangled elements in environmental performance mandates are legitimacy and accessibility. The users’ social characteristics are derived from the category of users, where the stakeholders (designers, owners) are relatively a novel benchmark in meeting the POE objectives towards environmental performance. The least attention on the users’ social characteristics based on the findings shows that image, experiential (conjoint), happiness, interactive behaviour, morale and values are depicted as the social current needs in the environmental performance using POE. However, all stakeholders and the building occupants’ social characteristics must have a confirmative relation to the performance mandates, especially for newly performance mandates elements: legitimacy and accessibility. Research limitations/implications The research limits the literature search between the recent January 2016 and January 2023 in Scopus, Web of Science and Emerald databases. Limiting the year of publication to the recent years is important to select and rank relevant scientific papers which encompass the reviewed subject. Other limitations include the selection of papers focusing on the POE approach and environmental performance as the main subject of evaluation. Other evaluation purposes that are not related to environmental objectives are excluded in this study. Originality/value The characteristics of the social elements become a challenging subject in meeting the environmental performance needs as they lean more towards intangible elements. The novelty of the findings is drawn from the new pattern and current needs of users' social characteristics in POE for environmental performance.
