Flood Hazard Information Map Using Geographical Information System (GIS) For Residential Community Resilience

The purpose of this research is to develop the residential flood hazard information map using Geographical Information System (GIS) for residential community resilience. The review approach is based on related literature contributing to identifying themes such as “flood hazard information map” and “geographical information system”. Integration of data will be sourced from Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), National Property Information Centre (NAPIC) and Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia (JUPEM) using Unique Parcel Identifier (UPI) for respective residential land parcels. An extensive review of previous studies of flood hazard information map of residential community resilience for different flood disaster studies is considered to be the main restrictive factor resulting in a lack of empirical studies in this field. The development of residential property needs to be imposed with the elements for building specifications and materials that have flood resistance and resilience to protect the community life and property.Keywords: Community resilience, Floods, Geographical Information System (GIS), Residential propertyeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

Structural, locational and environmental attributes effects the residential property value in flood risk area

The arts and science in determining the residential property value make property value has evolved due to the changing in external factors such as economy, environmental and social. This research is aim to determine the residential property value by taking into account the economic attributes that could affect the value of residential property in flood risk areas. The economic attributes consist of structural, locational and environmental attributes involved in residential property valuation in relations with flooding. This paper will discover the significance and effect of each economic attributes in determining residential property value in flood risk area. An extensive review of previous studies in economic valuation of property for different floods disaster studies. It is considered to be the main restrictive factor resulting in lack of empirical studies in this field. Practitioners and researchers will find this study useful in developing an improved understanding of the economic valuation of flooding. The finding reveals that the economic attributes response to floods for a residential property value with positive, negative and none expected effects

Development of Academic Atmosphere in Women's Small Enterprises in North Sumatra

This community service aims to develop the academic atmosphere of women entrepreneurs to have entrepreneurial competencies in overcoming challenges and developing their enterprises to become upgraded SMEs. This service was conducted in Medan City and Deli Serdang Regency with a total of 31 women’s small enterprises.

The results of FGDs showed that women entrepreneurs needed to collaborate with universities to make affordable and quality products. The results of interviews and observations showed that they ran the enterprises because they wanted to get more income,  dared to take calculated risks, had the competence, were able to take advantage of opportunities, and were able to face changes in society. These women entrepreneurs were also given training in the form of workshops to develop the academic atmosphere and increase competence in managing entrepreneurship by creating entrepreneurial journeys, namely the understanding of being successful entrepreneurs.

Strategies to Control Industrial Emissions: An Analytical Network Process Approach in East Java, Indonesia

This study identified the main agents, problems, solutions, and strategies for lowering industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the cement industry in East Java, Indonesia, by applying an analytical network process. Respondents included government officials, industrial representatives, and environmental experts. This study revealed that (1) regulators are the critical agents controlling emissions; (2) the three major problems faced when aiming to reduce industrial emissions are limited environmental knowledge, inadequate infrastructure, and unsound regulations; (3) the main solutions are education, socialization, and infrastructure improvement; and (4) the institutional approach is preferable to command-and-control and economic incentives. This suggests that policymakers should collaborate closely with regulators, firms, and communities to more effectively control emissions and encourage environmentally friendly industrial practices. Economic incentives are not preferable strategies, most likely because of insufficient environmental knowledge, market distortion due to subsidies, and low viability. However, the institutional approach incurs higher costs due to political, administrative, and legal processes. Parties may agree on achieving socioeconomic demands but not environmental output. The institutional approach also requires extra investment in education and socialization as well as government support for infrastructure development and a better regulatory framework

A review of climate change (floods) and economic attributes response to residential property value in Malaysia

The art and science of determining residential property value has evolved due to the changing external factors, such as the economy, environmental (climate change) and social aspects. This research aims to identify the impact of climate change (floods) to determine residential economic attributes that could affect the value for residential property in flood risk areas. The case study covers all residential housing schemes in Langat River Basin area, which has been considered as the highest flood risk area in the State of Selangor, Malaysia. The methodology of this research is based on the conceptual analysis from previous studies from local and international scenarios. The systematic analysis of previous literature of real estate valuation theory consists of economic attributes such as structural, locational and environmental attributes involved in residential property valuation in relation to flooding. The findings reveal that the economic attributes’ response to flood hazards for residential properties can be divided into three conditions, and they are: positive, negative or no effect on the climate change factor

Big data analytics for preventive maintenance management

Maintenance data for government buildings in Putrajaya, Malaysia, consists of a vast volume of data that is divided into different classes based on the functions of the maintenance tasks. As a result, multiple interactions from stakeholders and customers are required. This necessitates the collection of data that is specific to the stakeholders and customers. Big data can also forecast for predictive maintenance purposes in maintenance management. The current data practise relies solely on well-structured statistical data, resulting in static analysis and findings. Predictive maintenance under the Big Data idea will also use non-visible data such as social media and web search queries, which is a novel way to use Big Data analytics. The metamodel technique will be used in this study to evaluate the predictive maintenance model and faulty events in order to verify that the asset, facilities, and buildings are in excellent working order utilising systematic maintenance analytics. The metamodel method proposed a predictive maintenance procedure in Putrajaya by utilising the big data idea for maintenance management data
