Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) is a process of evaluating the performance of a building after it has been occupied for at least several years. The authors conducted a comprehensive and critical review to provide a both qualitative and quantitative introduction of POE, including a brief introduction of the history, definition and benefits of POE, a statistical analysis of 146 POE projects since 2010, a comparison of 13 existing POE protocols, a summary of emerging research focuses, and potential future research areas. The 146 POE projects were analyzed in terms of building types, countries, purposes, methods used, and key findings. The review of 13 POE 2 protocols show the state-of-the-practice POE techniques. Apart from POE projects, the authors present emerging research topics related to the visualization of POE results, analyses of occupant survey database, and measurement of occupancy. Finally, the discussion summarizes the current condition of POE research and proposes five transitions that POE efforts should pursue: from

“…The study Abbas investigated the relationship between the physical environment of pre-school public and children's play behavior by observing the three types of fission environment of 20 classrooms in 10 preschools and five play behavior children were investigated. These results indicate the presence of physical environmental influences on the behavior of children who are supported and recommended for best practice [8]. However, the current study does not investigate the relationship between the physical environment and the behavior of children's play.…”

This study explores the importance of the physical environment on several classrooms early childhood learning center in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. In this study obtained da ta interview with teachers (n=10) to understand the importance of the physical environment of the classroom at the learning center. Thematic analysis of the interviews revealed two main themes, namely the principle of the learning environment in the classroom (the principle of classroom arrangement of the environment and principles in children) and the design elements of the physical environment of children's classrooms (lighting, color combinations, doors and windows, sky and walls, furniture or furniture selection: table, chair, shelves). The findings reveal that the principle in terms of spatial arrangement may reflect the distinctive features of each learning center (eg IT centers are identical to technology and computers, religious centers are identical to religious, UKS (school health unit) centers are identical to the role playing doctor and pharmacies), provide opportunities for children's learning activities by providing APE (educational game tools) according to learning activities in the center, providing enough space so that children can move freely, not using a barrier in the center of the room to make it look wider and children can play freely. While the principles applied to children in the form of discipline, responsibility, character, independent, orderly, and polite in the classroom. Meanwhile, the elements of the physical classroom environment design with attention to lighting, color combinations, doors and windows, floors and walls as well as furniture selection (tables, chairs, shelves). Both things are done well so as to create a comfortable and safe atmosphere for the needs of children when involved learning in the classroom.

“…For preschools to maximize the development of children, learning programs must be supported by both aspects of the learning environment -social and physical (Loebach, 2005). However, unlike developed countries, the awareness among Malaysians regarding this is still lacking (Abbas, Othman & Rahman, 2012). School readiness is also an important aspect of children education as it highlights the general level of physical and mental development the child has attained (Majzub & Rashid, 2012).…”

Preschool physical environments significantly affect children behavior and development. Efforts by the Malaysian Government to improve the quality of preschool education shows a lack of emphasis on the physical learning environment - despite overall improvements, school readiness remains moderate. In Malaysia, the impact of preschool physical learning environments on children’s school readiness is still unclear; thus, this paper aims to investigate, highlight and conclude a clear theoretical relationship between these two aspects through literature review. Findings are hoped to lay the groundworks for future research into this matter to improve preschool education in Malaysia.Keywords: Malaysian preschool education; Physical learning environment; Children school readiness; Children developmenteISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.
