“…NAO (1996) stipulates four elements in Space Charging concept which are; space to be charged, amount to be charged, mechanism for cost and the source of payment for the charge. It was certified as the best method in 1996; however, many facilities experts today say that this method is the best management tool for space optimization (Marsh & Griffith 1985;SMG 2006;Ibrahim et al 2011a;Ibrahim et al 2011b;Ibrahim et al 2012).…”

“…Space and facilities management is to be prioritized and have to be managed efficiently otherwise it will bring negative impacts to both the end-user of the space in HLIs as well as their administrative (Abdullah et al, 2012a). After all, the costs which are related to the physical resources are the second most important budget after staff salary in higher learning institutions (Abdullah et al, 2012a;Che Ani et al, 2012;Ibrahim et al, 2012;Ibrahim et al, 2011a;Space Management Group, 2006).

“…But, until now most of higher learning administrations have yet to understand the role and contribution of these physical resources to HLI organizations (Ibrahim et al, 2011a); this is one of the reasons why problems exist because HLIs do not essentially prioritize space management (Abdullah et al, 2012a;Rahman et al, 2015).…”

All over the world, the number of students enrolled at higher learning institutions have been on the increase which causes shortage of space, low utilization rates and space mismatch, but many studies have found that most higher learning institutions are not using the space optimally. This study evaluates the effectiveness level of space utilization at Ardhi University"s (ARU) undergraduate classrooms by looking at the level of use and determining how it is impacted by admission of students, conditions of facilities and services and space standards. It found that space use in most ARU"s classrooms is affected by the condition and deficiency of some facilities and services, time table rescheduling , allocating rooms to more than one program at a time (double allocation), class representatives" preferences for rooms, by lecturers" preferences for rooms, allocation of rooms to specific programs, current academic situation, and lecture rooms being allocated to students exceeding their capacities.

“…These issues illustrate that the supply efficiency of elderly care in China is low which can result in the waste of space resource and the dissatisfaction of elderly residents. On the supply front, sustainable space management can be considered as an effective tool to reduce the cost of wasted space, optimize the use of space and improve occupational health and safety [6][7][8]. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct space management in elderly facilities in China to resolve those problems and to promote sustainable building operation.…”

“…Ibrahim et al [7] proposed that the space charging model could be used for effective space management in higher education institutions; Hassanain and Moied [6] developed a process model to implement space assignment and space utilization audit in corporate organizations; and Steiner [9] claimed planning flexible workplace as an art of space management in commercial facilities. Most prior studies about space management have only focused on the space planning process and the evaluation of space utilization [6,7] while comprehensive research on exploring space management components remains rare, especially research that seeks to understand the perspectives of stakeholders which can be applicable to China's elderly facilities. The integration of comprehensive space management components, based on the perspective of stakeholders, forms a starting point for implementing sustainable space management practice.…”

Abstract:The elderly population in China is increasing rapidly. To meet elderly residents' housing demand, Chinese government makes great efforts to build more elderly facilities. However, major challenges in the operation of these elderly facilities, such as low space utilization rate, poor accessibility, poor environment and so on, have being emerging. The critical reason for challenges can be concluded as the lack of effective space management components. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to explore key space management components for China's elderly facilities. Considering stakeholders' (facility owner, facility manager, care staff, elderly residents, and academic researchers) viewpoints on space management, this study used a multi-stakeholder Delphi approach to determine key space management components through five steps. Based on the selection criteria, a total of 25 Delphi panellists with five stakeholder groups were invited and finally 23 Delphi panellists participated in the whole study process. Subsequently, the academic researchers among these panellists were employed to quantify the stakeholders' influence with the parameter of stakeholder influencing factor. After that, the initial discussion on space management was performed to generate the initial list involving 11 space management components. Next, two ranking rounds were conducted to conclude the final significance scores of each space management component from five stakeholder groups' feedbacks. With respect to the final ranking score and the values of influencing stakeholder factor, the decision score of each space management components was calculated, which integrated all stakeholder groups' opinions. Finally, through two cut-off points, a total of seven components were selected as the key space management components for China's elderly facilities including space planning and assignment, space utilization audit, space occupancy cost audit, space inventory management, space usability management, space change management, and the management of health safety and environment. These components will assist facility managers to conduct effective and sustainable space management practice for supporting organizational core business.

Space inventory management is a continuous process of collecting, gathering and maintaining list of space fields with codes. It provides accurate data to stakeholder by developing compatible space inventory system. The issues of space inventory management in the Malaysian Public Universities are due to the inaccurate data, lack of centralized data management and ineffective methods or systems implemented. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of space inventory management of the Malaysian Public Universities. The findings revealed that implementation of space inventory management significantly contribute to cost effectiveness, directory, and enrolment projection, grant funding opportunity and institutional comparisons.
