“…Therefore, the roots and the historical contextual background from which this proposal emerged are vital in understanding the innovation creation within the discussion presented in this paper. Furthermore, shaping the environment processes had started since the early civilization (Saruwono, 2010). The findings of this research will also contribute to shaping the future design for sustainable home environment in Malaysia, within the Malay communities' sociocultural context in particular and towards developing flexibility for other communities' context in general.…”

This paper presents a review on holistic approaches of green building assessment tools (GBAT) for sustainable development (SD) showing the trends and conceptual framework. The method of the study is through literature review which highlighted the socio-cultural inadequacy of most GBAT. The paper proposes several hypotheses. Firstly, to use a holistic universal method to assess sustainability within the community's cultural context. Secondly, the assessment criteria for sustainability from the socio-cultural viewpoint would differ from the conventional tools. Thirdly, the study proposes that the community would prefer to shape their future environment with specific preferred values in their home environment.

“…In addition to coherence, engagement with both space and community appears to be critical for well-being (Lockard, 2014). Other researchers (Bond et al, 2012;Evans et al, 2003;Saruwono, 2012) also identify that emotional impact and psychological well-being together with physical environmental qualities are essential to a person's higher quality of life. Proshansky, Fabian, and Kaminoff (1983) argued that the domestic environment or its components can influence the development of self-identity.…”

Aim: The objective of this article is to identify and analyze what is known about characteristics in and around the home that support well-being for those with cognitive impairment. This could provide direction for designers of homes in general, but specifically for designers trying to meet the needs of people with cognitive impairment. Background: It has been established that there is a relationship between psychological well-being and a person’s environment. Research also shows that particular design aspects can reduce the impact of cognitive impairment. However, there is limited design expertise in the Australian housing market to create supportive spaces which will help to reduce the impact of the disability for those with cognitive impairment. Method: A literature review was carried out to determine the extent and details of what is known about the relationship of home design and its impact on emotional, psychological, or social well-being for people with cognitive impairment. Conclusions: The study indicates that researchers in various disciplines understand that pragmatic design inputs such as thermal comfort and adequate lighting are important for people with cognitive impairment. In addition, some researchers have shown or surmise that there are other “intangible” designer-controlled elements that have beneficial impacts on people with cognitive impairment. Details of these intangible elements are sparse, and how much they might improve the quality of life for a person with cognitive impairment is not well understood. Further research is required to meet a growing need.

“…While there seems to be no evidence that the main reason for altering the houses is to make the house unique, informal visit to a housing neighbourhood gives some indications of the probable cause. Saruwono (2010) aptly suggests that the beauty of renovation is that people are free to express themselves, communicating with the outside world about who they are. People did what they think best from the individual point of view which is supposed to lead a more desirable living environment.…”

This study attempts to discover the alteration trends of house renovations focusing on terrace houses. Thirty renovated houses located in Shah Alam were identified, visually observed and analysed. The houses were photographed and sorting process was carried out for analysis at the studio. The results show the altered houses could be classified into four established styles namely; traditional, modern, postmodern and "others". There is no one particular style of facade that was significantly more popular among them. Something that can be learnt from this study is that people are expressive of their stylistic preferences even under the constraints of the typically narrow-frontaged terrace houses.
