Abstract

ABSTRACT Housing delivery is facing substantial environmental sustainability threats. Consequently, the housing industry is constantly adopting broad-based actions to sustain the environment and make delivery more efficient and risk-averse. Such regulatory models are sometimes targeted at the housing developers’ readiness, the dimensions of market volatility, technology, and the firm's resources. These variables are more profound within an emerging economic context such as Malaysia, and previous research investigating sustainability agenda in housing delivery has neglected their impacts within the housing developer's perspective. This study tested regional-scale hypotheses regarding predictors of ecological sustainability across the state of Sarawak Malaysia. It was hypothesised that the critical dynamics of technology, developer's readiness, resources, regulatory framework, market turbulence, and uncertainty would increase the likelihood of cumulative environmental sustainability in housing delivery. A sample of 221 Housing developers registered under the Sarawak Housing and Real Estate Developers’ Association and allied professionals were sent a self-report online survey instrument, and 144 completed questionnaires were returned, indicating a 65 per cent response rate. Subsequently, SPSS and SmartPLS were used for data analysis. SPSS was used for data screening, while SmartPLS was used to assess the measurement and structural models. Structural equation models show that improved technology, developer's readiness, and regulatory apparatus are the better correlated with environmental sustainability performance.

住房交付中生态可持续性的动态:开发商的观点

住房交付面临着巨大的环境可持续性威胁。因此，房地产业不断采取广泛的行动，以维持环境，提高交付效率和规避风险。这种监管模式有时针对的是房地产开发商的准备程度、市场波动的大小、技术和公司的资源。在马来西亚这样的新兴经济背景下，这些变量更为深刻，而之前调查住房交付可持续性议程的研究忽视了它们在住房开发商视角下的影响。本研究测试了关于整个马来西亚沙捞越州生态可持续性预测因素的区域尺度假设。据推测，技术、开发商的准备程度、资源、监管框架、市场动荡和不确定性等关键因素将增加住房交付过程中累积环境可持续性的可能性。在砂拉越住房和房地产开发商协会注册的221家住房开发商和相关专业人员的样本被发送了一份自我报告在线调查工具，并返回了144份完整的问卷，表明65%的回复率。随后使用SPSS和SmartPLS进行数据分析。使用SPSS进行数据筛选，而使用SmartPLS评估测量和结构模型。结构方程模型表明，改进的技术、开发商的准备程度和监管机构与环境可持续性绩效的相关性更好。

期刊介绍： Informative and accessible, this publication analyses and discusses the integration of the main stages within the process of design and construction and multidisciplinary collaborative working between the different professionals involved. Ideal for practitioners and academics alike, Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines specific topics on architectural technology, engineering design, building performance and building design management to highlight the interfaces between them and bridge the gap between architectural abstraction and engineering practice. Coverage includes: -Integration of architectural and engineering design -Integration of building design and construction -Building design management; planning and co-ordination, information and knowledge management, vale engineering and value management -Collaborative working and collaborative visualisation in building design -Architectural technology -Sustainable architecture -Building thermal, aural, visual and structural performance -Education and architectural engineering This journal is a valuable resource for professionals and academics (teachers, researchers and students) involved in building design and construction, including the following disciplines: -Architecture -Building Engineering -Building Service Engineering -Building Physics -Design Management and Design Coordination -Facilities Management Published papers will report on both fundamental research dealing with theoretical work and applied research dealing with practical issues and industrial innovations. In this way, readers explore the interaction between technical considerations and management issues.
