Published data or available literature on planning, design, construction, performance, and renovation criteria for sustainable buildings have been focused on several parts, such as some parts of construction, or some stages, such as design and construction stages, due to a limited number of collaborative scholars or scopes of their research. Usually, these data have been published scattered or presented partially in various papers; there has not been any paper published these data, all-stage ‘plan-design, construction, performance, and renovation’ criteria, together. Hence, this paper aims to collect these data and publish them together. The data collection was conducted by our team, 25 members, who specialized in sustainable urban, architectural, and civil engineering and construction management. After collection, the review outputs of sustainable building criteria were validated based on a group consensus. This consensus-based validation procedure was conducted through meetings. These meetings extensively discussed the relevance and importance of the collective criteria and focused on their applicability to Cambodia. The collective data demonstrated in this paper could be useful to researchers in the fields. They could also be useful collective knowledge and information for policymakers from the governments and development partners, as well as architectural and construction engineering companies.

“…The analysis included an environmental analysis that takes into account the wind direction, the sun path and annual rainfall. Rainwater harvesting is a technique that could have been implemented at the university given its environmental conditions and the fact that rain is a natural resource [9]. Figure 3 presents the average Monthly rainfall in the Albaha region (source: weatherspark.com).…”

The paper investigates and analyses the urban design of the Albaha University campus from an economic and environmental perspective. With coronavirus pandemic, the education protocol, precautionary measures and social distance have been applied in order to achieve safety environment within the university boundary. The study analyses the university campus design in light of sustainable requirements, social distance protocol, employment of natural resources and application of urban sustainable design criteria. Regional urban planning and development needs to include attraction factors to boost the economy and trigger reverse migration. Establishing a university in the region helps significantly in terms of local urban growth but environmental aspects including energy conservation and management should also be considered for environmental reasons. The approach used in this study involved: (a) an environmental site analysis including an analysis of natural resources such as the wind, solar energy and annual rainfall to determine how such resources can be employed in the operation of the university; (b) a site visit survey analysis to investigate the sustainable use of the current facilities and open spaces of the university campus and the application of on-site renewable energy; and (c) a SWOT analysis to determine the role of the university in the local economy system. The urban sustainable design and possibility of using landscaping, shading devices, and solar radiation systems was investigated through building plans and a site visit to the campus. In addition, the form and fabric of the academic buildings was investigated to identify the application of shading devices, the windows design and use of insulation. The study highlights the fact that many buildings are still under construction while other buildings are still currently on plan. The paper concludes by giving some recommendations from an economic and environmental perspective.

“…Enhancing water productivity in rainfed areas using supplemental irrigation is an important tool to increase green water flows (Parihar et al, 2016;Scheierling et al, 2016). According to this, an extensive literature has been focused on the rainwater harvesting concept as a key component in production technology to enhance the livelihoods of rainfed area farmers, and reduce the yield gap between irrigated and rainfed agriculture with water scarcity under changing climate conditions Kisakye and Van der Bruggen, 2018;Sahin and Manioglu, 2019). In line with the promotion of rainwater harvesting, increasing interest has been focused on ensuring that agriculture becomes climate-smart in order to raise agricultural production, improve rural livelihoods and alleviate poverty for small-scale farmers (Westermann et al, 2018;Makate et al, 2019).…”

An integrated farming system (IFS) aims to sustain agricultural production, maintain farm incomes, safeguard the environment and respond to climate change impacts. Experiments in a tribal farmer's fields during 2016–2018 with two IFS models (pulse and cotton) were conducted in the Telangana region, India. An on‐farm reservoir (OFR) is designed for storing surface runoff based on the area and runoff coefficient determined through a modelling approach. The results demonstrated how supplemental irrigation and water harvesting are the most important and proven technologies for improving crop productivity and the efficient use of water in dryland areas of the semi‐arid tropics. The economic analysis indicated that after introduction of OFR technology, farmers' profits were increased under both scenarios of prolonged and short dry spells. According to the results, adoption of the OFR and IFS models not only ensured economic returns but provided regular employment even on less than 1 ha of land, which is usually non‐sustainable if monocropping is being practised. The approaches used in this work might be useful for guiding producers’ decisions in optimizing resources and selecting crops based on economic and water use efficiency. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
