Wong, Lai Kee
The United Nations (UN) recognises good health and well-being as among the criteria for Sustainable Development Goals, extending to all individuals, regardless of age and gender. However, adolescent occupants in juvenile institutions are often being overlooked, and their well-being in these facilities remains questionable. Sensitising this scenario, this thesis explores the link between the perceived well-being of building end-users and the design of physical living environment at 13 juvenile institutions located in the peninsular region of Malaysia. The research objectives are twofold: (1) to inspect the current physical living environment of juvenile institutions in Malaysia, and (2) to assess the perceived well-being and satisfaction of adolescent occupants residing in juvenile institutions in Malaysia in regard to their current physical living environment. This study employed multi-method research design conducted in the form of Post-occupancy Evaluation (POE) at 7 probation hostels (Asrama Akhlak – AA) and 6 approved schools (Sekolah Tunas Bakti – STB). Walkthrough observation and end-user survey were performed to assess the conditions of the physical living environment of the juvenile institutions and to gather the perceived well-being of adolescent occupants respectively. The survey responses were then analysed using descriptive statistics walkthrough observations result was used to cross-verify the survey responses. It is found that while the majority of the adolescent occupants reported positive or neutral well-being, there remains a substantial proportion (25.53%) who are dissatisfied with their physical living environments.

(2024-09)
Wang, Maoying
The Chinese construction industry has been criticized for its slow adoption of digitization, while Digital Twin (DT) technology is recognized as a potential solution. However, the implementation of DT comes with various risks, encompassing both opportunities and threats. Moreover, there is a notable gap in risk assessment specific to DT implementation within the Chinese construction sector. To fill this gap, this research is aiming at developing an effective risk assessment model (RAM) for evaluating associated risks, with the goal of enhancing the successful implementation of DT in construction. First, this research conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify potential risks associated with the practice of DT in the construction industry. Second, semi-structured interviews and the Fuzzy Delphi Method are carried out to refine the risks. Third, to better evaluate these risks, this research develops a General Cybernetic Best-Worst Method (G-Cy-BWM) RAM to identify and assess the significant risk factors (RFs) associated with the practice of DT within the construction sector. The multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are adopted and a total of 36 qualified experts are involved in different phases of this research. As a result, a total of 32 critical RFs, including 23 opportunities and 9 threats, are identified and prioritized based on their interdependent weights calculated using the developed RAM.

Saad, Mohd Fairus
Tourism malaysia reported that 76.8% of the respondents chose islands and beaches as the main attractions to visit malaysia, and one of the activities involved is scuba diving.

The researcher adopted the quantitative method by using an online survey of scuba divers who had visited diving destinations in malaysia. The online survey was distributed via social media and the scuba divers’ association. The usable responses were 321, and the data were coded and analysed using spss software. This study implemented four analysis methods: reliability test, descriptive analysis, factor analysis, and analysis of variance (anova). Three (3) clusters emerged from the analysis: pro-divers,
