It also serves as guidelines for the professional to plan and design their projects. The Malaysian Standard (MS) 1184:2014 for instance contains six KAIs to be considered by the project team during the early planning stage to ensure continuous movement of the PwDs. On the contrary, many researchers reported that Malaysia is still lacking in considering and providing equal accessibility and facilities for this group. This paper aims to investigate whether the provision of KAIs for the PwDs provided at ETS station complies with the MS1184:2014. Three ETS stations in Perak were chosen for the case study. Document analysis of the MS1184:2014 was conducted to identify the KAIs dimensions to be provided for the PwDs at the stations. From the document analysis conducted, an observation checklist was developed to assess the availability and compliance of the KAIs dimensions with the MS1184:2014. The observation was recorded in a tabular method. From the tabulated information, the types and frequency of the availability and compliance of the facilities were determined. The research revealed that although majority of the sub-dimensions/facilities were available at the stations, they do not all comply with the MS. Some of the sub-dimensions/facilities do not function properly and cannot be used by PwDs. The physical barrier or incompliance facilities that were identified throughout the observations could be minimized to give the PwDs accessibility to use the ETS services. Besides, the ETS stations need to provide a more inclusive environment so that the PwDs can be independent and are capable to actively participate with the community. The research also suggested that when it comes to developing or creating better public transportation stations, customer feedback is crucial. The designer or the local authority should be more inventive in designing a barrier-free environment and infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":14418,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Construction Engineering and Technology","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136240366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the topic of making decisions to maintain or replace or upgrade medical equipment has been debated for a long time since errors equipment maintenance will increase equipment failure at undesirable times; or if early equipment replacement will result in high investment costs and premature disposal. Therefore, standard operating procedures or guidelines need to be in place to help healthcare facilities conduct a more organized and planned maintenance and replacement process. Many hospitals may already have established replacement guidelines or have implemented asset monitoring systems for this purpose. However, the effectiveness of this system has not yet been systematically evaluated. Several studies have been conducted on the same research topic, but most of the findings emphasize the replacement method rather than the criteria that contributed to the decision. Criteria for replacing medical equipment play an important role in ensuring that the equipment can be used cost-effectively. Thus, this research aims to identify important criteria that need to be considered for medical equipment maintenance and replacement focusing on private hospitals. This research was conducted in three phases: (1) a structured literature review; (2) semi-structured interviews with eleven (11) healthcare experts; and (3) a pairwise comparison survey with 50 biomedical engineers. A decision-making framework was developed based on the findings of these three research phases. The framework developed will provide guidelines for practitioners and academics to understand and make better decisions for medical equipment maintenance and replacement in the context of private hospitals.","PeriodicalId":14418,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Construction Engineering and Technology","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136240542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
