The acoustic environment influenced by noise pollution reduces the restorative effect generated by the natural environment. Noise policies which focus on noise level as a determinant of wanted and unwanted sounds are inadequate to control the acoustic quality of the environment. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the psychological effect of environmental sound and the direction of study for environmental sound research from 1993 to 2020. Review works of literature were identified through multiple interdisciplinary health, environmental, and urban planning databases in available open access journals. The focus of the study will look into keywords of \"environmental sound\", \"noise\", “acoustic environment” and \"mental health\". The review showed that previous study focused on the negative effect of noise and noise mitigation methods through the noise level controls in the guidelines. On the other hand, recent reviews continue to discuss the impact of noise further and add on a positive view of the psychological effect of environmental sound. Noise mitigation methods also focused on enhancing positive sounds and methods for a more comprehensive study of the environmental sound.","PeriodicalId":235421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128479589","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}

Where 36% of all global final energy use is generated from buildings. Currently, the topic of energy-saving behaviour is attracting the attention of researchers, how to encourage users towards energy-saving behaviour (ESB). Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is empirically recognized as a model widely used in predicting social behaviour. However, the TPB has received much debate and criticism about the narrow sufficiency of the three original determinants: Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Perceived Behaviour Control. This article discusses empirical support by several authors who acknowledged other related factor that need to be considered in developing a theoretical framework by adding Past Behaviour in predicting the energy saving behaviour of users to improve the ESB. An extensive literature search was conducted on 100 published literature in year 2011-2021, to explore the significance of past behaviour as an additional psychological factor of ESB in a building context. Content analysis conducted based on previous research published in leading journals (e.g. Scopus and Web of Science). About 30% of previous studies have found Past Behaviour as a significant contributing predictor of ESB beside the TPB original determinants. This study will help to provide a better understanding about social psychological determinants of energy saving behaviour hence serve as a guide to the building operator and relevant agencies in shaping strategy to promote energy saving behaviour among the occupants.","PeriodicalId":235421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126490700","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}

It has numerous benefits, whereas poor implementation is bound to create high energy consumption and user's discomfort, unlike in the temperate region. Daylight data for design is fundamental toward achieving optimal daylighting due to variations for different locations. Like most regions in the tropics, Nigeria has limited data in this regard. Therefore, this study investigated the availability of daylight and skies using daylight modelling methods. The global illuminance and irradiance data were input to model the outdoor daylight and sky types. The modelled, measured, and RadianceIES outdoor illuminance data were comparatively analysed relative to the design time and date. The results show that the sky is predominantly intermediate. More so, the monthly mean outdoor illumination varies from 47 to 67 klux at noon and as low as 9 klux during the morning and late afternoon. The study concluded that the mean outdoor illuminance for design is 30.7klux, 60.0klux, and 46.0klux at 0900, 1200, and1500 hours, respectively. In architecture, the use and applications of these data are to improve thermal, visual comfort, low-energy and task illuminance design in buildings, thus resulting in enhanced performance, cost savings, and user satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":235421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130632145","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}

Articles discussing design criteria for hospitals or Islamic quality were found, however, there are no reviews regarding the implementation of Islamic qualities in hospital design in Malaysia. The purpose of this research is to review the literature on implementation of Islamic qualities when designing hospitals in Malaysia. A list of keywords related to the issue has been identified to sieve through the total of 145 peer reviewed journal articles from Scopus, Web of Science and Mendeley databases. Eventually, by filtering using inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 27 articles were selected to be reviewed in this article. A thematic review of these 27 articles was performed using ATLAS.ti tools. This analysis has identified 29 initial codes related to hospital design and Islamic qualities which are then grouped into 6 clusters: environmental design, hospital environment, space planning and design, therapeutic design, Islamic values, and Islamic Concept Hospital. The results highlight the importance of future research which hopefully will influence the Malaysian administrators and designers to develop a better hospital environment with the implementation of Islamic qualities for the benefit of all Malaysians.","PeriodicalId":235421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131486610","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}

The ongoing marketing effort is worthwhile as potential tourists can plan and choose the places they would like to visit after the lockdown has been lifted. Hence, it is vital to evaluate the current promotion of Kedah as a tourist destination as marketing plays a crucial role in enhancing the appeal of a particular site and attracting tourists. Firstly, this paper investigates how the state of Kedah has been marketed by the national and state tourism promotional bodies. Additionally, the portrayals of Kedah by international travel organizations were also examined. The semiotic analysis method was employed in the assessment, where it focused on how Kedah has been presented on the websites of these organizations. In general, the findings of this paper uncovered several prominent visual and textual signifiers showing and describing field fields on the websites of both national and state promotional organizations. The attraction points such as Paddy Museum, Zahir Mosque, Balai Nobat, Mahathir’s Birth Place, and Pekan Rabu have been featured strongly in portraying the capital city, Alor Setar. The signified meanings of the uniqueness and exoticism of local cuisines are reflected through visual and textual signifiers, including laksa Kedah, pekasam (fermented fish), and traditional snacks such as kuih dangai and kuih karas. As Kedah is popularly known as the ‘Rice Bowl of Malaysia’, it is reasonable that visual and textual signifiers of paddy fields and attractions associated with paddy have been presented widely on the websites. Overall, the key theme in marketing Kedah as a tourist destination via public and private travel promotional websites is reflected as the projection of cultural-rural tourism.","PeriodicalId":235421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126208663","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}

In the conservation approach of adaptive re-use, new interventions of historic interiors are often subject to insensible alteration particularly in its interior design outcome resulting in compromised heritage representation in Malaysia. The government’s efforts to protect and manage historic buildings are illustrated by the implementation of the National Heritage Act 2005 and the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines 2016. However, there are insufficient guidance concerning new interior design works of a historic interior within Malaysia. The primary aim of this paper is to identify the current limitation of the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines in Malaysia pertaining to historic interior works and to contribute to the discussion surrounding this matter. The paper presents comparative analysis and interpretation of literature and grey documents (guidelines and policies) in adaptive re-use of heritage buildings in Malaysia. The data generated is compared with similar conservation approach guidelines from England and United States of America. The analysis revealed that the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines is a comprehensive document that underscores physical action to preserve the fabric and materials of heritage buildings. However, while the broad definitions for new design proposal to be sympathetic and visual appropriateness to the existing building character are acceptable, it may lead to unintended interpretation and consequences. The paper suggests that the existing guideline need to be accompanied with additional guidance to aid practitioners especially architects and interior designers in dealing with historic interior using the comparative analysis with goals to intensify the value of historic interior that involves new intervention.","PeriodicalId":235421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125576372","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}

Most of the local communities in rural areas are encouraged to participate in this program due to their value-added income and platform to promote the local culture to tourists. However, incompetent leaders to lead Community-Based Rural Homestay (CBRH) become a challenge to homestay operators as they need a proactive leader to manage the activities and tourists at the same time. Poor leadership qualities affect the homestay program from being active in generating income and other benefits for the local community. Indeed, there is a need for the leader in a community project to act as the representative for the local community to guide them as the community may not be ready for the intended changes or development. Ten competencies were identified to explore the characteristics of local champions in the context of CBRH. A single case study has been used whereby this research was taken place at Homestay Sungai Haji Dorani. A mixed-method design is adopted in this research which is involved a questionnaire distributed to the homestay operators and the interview session with the local champion of Homestay Sungai Haji Dorani. The finding was revealed that fairness becomes a dominant competency of the local champion.

A buffer was created around each location centre of 25 areas within the boundary of Seremban town (Bandar Seremban), defining an area considered to cover a walking distance of 500m radius; the urban tissues of 13 areas were selected for analysis. The location centres were identified based on geospatial data from the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia obtained in November 2020. Two distinct morphological characters exist in the current town plan of Seremban – the grid-iron (regular) and organic (irregular) patterns. The grid-iron pattern is predominantly visible in the historic urban core while the organic pattern dominates on the periphery. Also, areas identified within the boundary are sparsely distributed in the northern part while in the southern area, they are densely clustered. Therefore, the highest number of overlaps in the northern area is three, whereas up to six are identified in the southern area. This paper is a unique analysis of the built form with two distinct morphological characters.

The study employed both primary and secondary as data sources. The valid respondents for the analysis was 160. Five Likert-scale type questionnaires were used for collecting data. The analysis was conducted with the aid of Microsoft Excel and IBM statistical package for social science (SPSS) Version 26. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 5 Directors for interviews from the Federal Capital Territory Transport Secretariat who are the custodian of road transport policy. Secondary sources were obtained wholly from published materials and official Government documents and files. Federal Capital Territory Transport Secretariat, The National Planning Commission, Federal Ministry of Transport, and its Parastatals, and the Bureau for Public Enterprises were the main sources of data. The finding from the document review and interview reveals that lacks of full implementation, funding constraints, corruption and enactments of institutional framework that will give investors’ confidence to invest in roads are factors affecting the road transport policy. The interviewees agreed that policies of road transportation enhance economic development by providing easy access to the workplace, schools, and markets.
