A scientometric review of tourism community resilience research: A CiteSpace-based visualisation
Spatial Correlates of Perceived Safety: Natural Surveillance and Incivilities in Bayan Baru, Malaysia
Perceived safety strongly shapes how residents use and experience their neighborhoods, yet evidence on how spatial and social factors interact in rapidly urbanizing Asian cities remains limited. This study investigates the role of natural surveillance, spatial connectivity, and perceived incivilities in shaping residents’ perceived safety in Bayan Baru, Malaysia, with fear of crime examined as a key mediating factor. A face-to-face survey of 300 …
Graduates’ Employment Challenges from Global Study to Local Employment in Urban Planning and Development Fields
Universities and governments are steadily recognising international students as strategic assets due to their contributions to cultural exchange, global visibility, and economic growth. However, international higher education institutions continue to face challenges in delivering contextually relevant curricula, particularly in disciplines related to urban development, such as urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture, geography, and u…
Assessing the effects of altered rainfall patterns on the carrying capacity of rural tourism in Fujian Province, China
Rethinking Urban Greening: Implications of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design for Enhancing Perceived Safety in Baitashan Park, Lanzhou
While urban greening is an effective adaptation strategy for building resilient cities, socioeconomic factors and individual perceptions of urban parks play a significant role in enhancing their safety and inclusiveness. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a widely recognized approach for enhancing safety in urban public spaces. However, existing research has largely overlooked the impact of socioeconomic factors and interper…
Geographical Debate on Covid-19’s Impact on Healthcare Access and Utilization in Vulnerable Malaysian Communities
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified concerns about healthcare access, particularly among vulnerable populations. This study extends Andersen’s behavioral model to investigate how fear of high-risk locations, alongside predisposing, enabling, and need factors, shapes healthcare-seeking behavior in Penang, Malaysia. A survey of 211 individuals (58% response rate) was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Resul…
Equity in crisis response: A spatial analysis of emergency relief disparities
Exploring challenges of adaptive reusing of vacant shophouses in Penang's heritage zone
Revitalising historic fabrics: The influence of identity and community belonging
Urban growth, physical renewal, and the neglect of social factors have significantly altered historic neighbourhoods, particularly in the Global South, thereby diminishing cultural vibrancy, family interactions, and social belonging. This study, which focuses on a historic neighbourhood in Sanandaj, Iran, bridges the gap between theoretical ideals and practical challenges in fostering cultural sensitivity and inclusive development during the revi…
Unraveling the Tourism–Environment–Equity Nexus: A Neighborhood-Scale Analysis of Texas Urban Centers
This study explores the complex interplay between air pollution, the socioeconomic conditions, and the tourism density within Texas’s urban landscapes, focusing on Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. Despite extensive research on environmental justice and urban tourism separately, few studies have integrated these fields to examine how tourism development intersects with environmental and socioeconomic disparities at a neighborhood level. T…
Using a Space Syntax Approach to Enhance Pedestrians’ Accessibility and Safety in the Historic City of George Town, Penang
Contemporary urban development places a critical emphasis on pedestrian environments, especially in historic cities like George Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Malaysia. Although survey questionnaires effectively captured public perceptions of issues such as poor road connectivity, weak accessibility, crime and safety concerns in George Town, they fell short in providing a comprehensive understanding of the root causes. This study …
Addressing Urban Management Challenges for Sustainable Development: Analyzing the Impact of Neighborhood Deprivation on Crime Distribution in Chicago
Urban crime prevention remains a critical challenge intertwined with socioeconomic disparities. This study investigates the spatial nexus between urban deprivation and crime decline in Chicago from 2015 to 2022, addressing the question: How do changes in neighborhood deprivation relate to crime reduction patterns? Using comprehensive crime incident and census tract Area Deprivation Index (ADI) data, this study conducted exploratory spatial analys…
Integrating space syntax and CPTED in assessing outdoor physical activity
The relationship between the spatial configuration of the built environment and outdoor physical activity is supported in the literature. However, the role of crime prevention elements and safety is neglected in that relationship. Using structural equation modelling and considering the effect of demographic factors, this study combined concepts of space syntax for analysis of spatial configuration and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design…
Assessing the morphological distribution of urban green spaces for the future sustainable greenery planning: A case study of Penang, Malaysia
Returning to historic neighborhoods: Exploring the role of architectural identity elements on the formation of physical identity
Purpose The study aims to evaluate the relationship among architectural identity, physical identity and neighborhood attachment in a residential neighborhood in the core of Sanandaj, Iran. Design/methodology/approach This quantitative study conducted a survey of 208 residents in a historic neighborhood. The study hypothesized the mediating role of physical identity on the relationship between architectural identity and neighborhood attachment. St…
Building form and energy efficiency in tropical climates: A case study of Penang, Malaysia
Malaysia is a nation that has undergone a massive development based on its abundance of fuel supply. The imbalance ratio between gross domestic products and energy demand clearly indicates the need to promote energy-efficiency strategies in the country. This study investigates the relationship between building shape and energy consumption by considering the control of excessive solar radiation in a tropical climate. In the first step, four basic …

Examining the effects of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) on Residential Burglary
The effectiveness of interventions in the built environment for improving health by addressing fear of crime
Territorial features, disorder and fear of crime in residential neighbourhoods in Malaysia: Testing for multigroup invariance
This research examined the relationships between territoriality, disorder, crime, perceived risk and fear of crime and determined whether these relationships are constant between neighbourhoods. Questionnaire surveys and on-site observations were conducted on a sample of 320 residents from two neighbourhoods in Malaysia. Tests for invariance were conducted to determine whether coefficients differed across neighbourhoods. Confirmatory factor analy…
Broken Windows and Collective Efficacy: Do They Affect Fear of Crime
The broken windows thesis posits that signs of disorder increase crime and fear, both directly and indirectly. Although considerable theoretical evidence exists to support the idea that disorder is positively related to fear of crime, the empirical literature on examining the indirect effect of the individual's perception of incivilities on fear of crime is limited, especially in developing countries. This research was conducted to assess the ind…
Examining social cohesion and victimization in a Malaysian multiethnic neighborhood
A Cross-Cultural Validation of the Territorial Functioning Construct in Residential Neighbourhoods: A Multigroup Invariance Analysis
One popular use of design strategies for crime prevention is territorial functioning (TF). While the TF scale has been widely utilised in crime studies, there is a lack of empirical evidence to support the equivalence of the scale across diverse contexts. A sample of 416 inhabitants from Britain and Malaysia took part in the study. We examined the factor structure validity and invariance of the TF scale instrument within the two nations based on …
