Redefining The Infectious Disease Prevention Framework Through Hierarchy Of Controls On Construction Sites In Sarawak
(2025-09)
Wong, Vivian Shao Yun
The occurrence of infectious diseases among on-site construction workers remains a significant challenge, particularly for small-scale contractors with limited resources. Despite existing preventive measures, inadequate welfare facilities and inconsistent implementation of control strategies continue to present substantial risks, affecting both worker well-being and overall project sustainability. This study aims to (1) assess the awareness of Sarawak’s small-scale contractors regarding on-site welfare facilities, (2) examine their perspectives on infectious disease prevention approaches, and (3) develop and validate a redefined hierarchy of controls framework.
Development Of Framework For Visual Landscape Quality Evaluation Of Chinese Traditional Villages For Landscape Protection And Preservation In Guizhou, China
(2025-09)
Shen, Huaheng
As an integral part of global cultural heritage, traditional villages encompass rich natural and cultural landscape resources, offering visually appealing aesthetic experiences. These visual landscape features profoundly reflect the high degree of integration between regional culture and the natural environment. However, with the accelerating process of urbanization in China and the rapid rise of rural tourism, the original visual landscapes of some traditional villages have been damaged. Therefore, this study aims to develop strategies and framework for the protection and preservation of visual landscape quality through scientific evaluation. Zhaoxing Dong Village and Basha Miao Village were selected as case studies. Using 360-degree panoramic technology, the study adopts a mixed-methods framework that combines quantitative approaches (Scenic Beauty Estimation and Semantic Differential methods) and qualitative approach (expert focus group discussion) to (1) explore key landscape features that significantly affect the visual landscape quality of traditional villages; (2) analyze the mechanisms underlying these influencing factors; and (3) develop feasible strategies and framework for protection and preservation.
Vegetation Structure And Configuration Framework For Improving Thermal Environment Of Single-Storey Semi-Detached House In Tropical Climate
(2025-08)
Kamarulzaman, Noorazlina
Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects are intensifying in tropical cities due to rapid urbanization and the diminishing presence of vegetation. In Malaysia, residential landscapes often lack climate-responsive design, particularly in single-storey semi-detached housing. Although vegetation plays a key role in regulating microclimates, its structural application in suburban residential settings remains underexplored. This research aims to develop an optimal Vegetation Structure and Configuration (VSC) framework to enhance thermal performance in such environments. Two field-based case studies were conducted in Perak, Malaysia, utilizing Delta OHM HD32.1 for thermal microclimate monitoring and HD37AB1347 for indoor air quality assessment.
The Influence Of Regional Cultures On Museum’S Interior Characteristics Of Selected Regions In China
(2025-09)
Xu Haoyuan, Haoyuan
Addressing the absence of regional culture in chinese museum development is a critical issue for designers and researchers. This research deeply analyzed the profound influence of regional culture on the interior characteristics of chinese museums, especially for eight typical regions in the north and south. Through cultural mapping, including in-depth interviews, case analyses, questionnaire, and visual investigations, this research gained insights from professionals and the public understanding museum interior design. The findings reveal the significant influence of regional culture on museum characteristics, evident in layout, color coordination, material selection, and lighting design. Questionnaires encompassed diverse groups, from museum staff to local peoples, to capture varied perspectives. It's noteworthy that the influence of regional culture permeates the overall design, at the same time, it also affected layout rationality, color choices, material use, and lighting effects. Museums are seen as reflections of spaces and décor and local cultural philosophies, historical legacies, and folk customs. By adeptly integrating regional culture into museum interior characteristics, the objective is to blend museum ambiance with regional culture. The research proposes design characteristics for showcasing regional cultural museum interior characteristics, offering practical guidance to designers. The characteristics ensure that local museum designs possess aesthetic appeal and deeply reflect and preserve the region's cultural richness.
Influence Of Leadership Style On Organizational Agility Towards Construction 4.0
(2025-09)
Khan, Kashif Nawaz
The construction industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation, driven by the emergence of construction 4.0 (c4.0), which emphasizes automation, smart technologies, and data-driven processes. In this evolving landscape, organizational agility (oa) has become essential for firms to adapt swiftly to technological disruptions and shifting market demands. Within this context, leadership plays a pivotal role in steering organizations through change. Yet, limited empirical research in developing countries, particularly malaysia, has examined how specific leadership styles interact with digital maturity to drive oa, leaving a critical gap in both theory and practice. This study investigates the influence of three prominent leadership styles transformational, transactional, and servant leadership on oa in malaysia’s construction sector, a key industry currently undergoing digital transformation. Specifically, the study examines the mediating roles of digital maturity (digital capabilities and leadership capabilities), and the moderating effect of coercive pressure. The research is grounded in complexity leadership theory and game theory, providing a robust theoretical framework for understanding dynamic interactions in complex organizational systems. A quantitative approach was adopted, with twenty hypotheses developed and tested. A pre-test involving industry experts and academics ensured the validity of the research instrument. Data were collected from 311 cidb-registered malaysian construction firms engaged in digitalization efforts, using structured surveys. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (pls-sem) was applied for data analysis.
