Proses pembandaran telah menimbulkan pelbagai implikasi kepada masyarakat di bandar. Sejak kebelakangan ini, keselamatan merupakan antara isu utama yang sering diperkatakan oleh masyarakat di bandar. Rentetan itu, Malaysia turut tidak terkecuali melaksanakan pelbagai strategi melalui Program Bandar Selamat bertujuan untuk meningkatkan tahap keselamatan masyarakat. Kajian ini cuba menyingkap secara terperinci tentang konsep Bandar Selamat dengan mengambil satu pendekatan kajian kes ke atas kawasan perumahan di Bandaraya Shah Alam yang bertujuan untuk memahami konsep sebenar pelaksanaan bandar selamat serta keberkesanannya untuk meningkatkan tahap keselamatan penduduk. Penilaian ke atas program ini diperolehi menerusi kaedah temu bual dengan penduduk Bandaraya Shah Alam. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT) telah melaksanakan konsep bandar selamat yang amat bergantung kepada persekitaran fizikal. Strategi ini dipercayai dapat mencegah perilaku jenayah sekali gus meningkatkan tahap keselamatan penduduk. Bagaimanapun, kajian telah membuktikan bahawa faktor–faktor fizikal kurang diberi perhatian oleh penduduk, sebaliknya mereka telah melaksana langkah–langkah keselamatan menerusi pelbagai kegiatan kemasyarakatan untuk mencegah perilaku jenayah di kawasan tempat tinggal mereka. Kata kunci: Keselamatan; bandar selamat; jenayah; CPTED; perumahan In recent years, safety becomes one of prominent issues amongst urban community. This issue has led to the implementation of Safe City Programme in Malaysia as to strengthening the urban community safety. In Malaysia, Shah Alam City has been declared as the first Safe City in this country. However, this recognition is arguable due to its crime rates, which is found higher compared with other cities. In fact, crime rates appear to be common indicator among the urban community for measuring the urban safety. Therefore, a case study has been carried out in Shah Alam residential area as to have better understanding about the concept of Safe City Programme and its effectiveness towards community safety. The evaluation is based on the community perception in which, gathered from indepth interview. It is found that the respective local authority is highly relied on the physical environment that is believed to be effective in preventing crime. On the other hand, the physical factor has brought less effect to the community, but they have come up with their own safety strategies through numerous social activities as to combat crime at their place.

Theory Of Crime

Old communities suffer increasing crime rates in China. The original environment layout can not meet the needs of living safety and needs redesign for crime prevention. The theory of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design or CPTED is based on one simple idea that crime results partly from the opportunities presented by physical environment. It is possible to alter the physical environment so that crime is less likely to occur. This paper focuses on CPTED strategies applied to a typical Chinese community for neighborhood renewal. The physical environment problems associated with community crime and fear of crime are first identified. Four distinct ways to implement CPTED strategies are emphasized and discussed in detail individually in the research: community layout, traffic, landscaping and buildings. The paper ends with pending issues and a major lesson that CPTED must be tailored to the specific problems occurring in particular settings.

Neutral Information

Web portals have the potential to promote sustainable environmental ideas due to the capacity of digital media, such as easy accessibility, openness, and networking. Local authorities (LAs) are responsible for activating carbon savings in homes, and they are key actors when it comes to providing neutral information to their citizens. Local authority web portals may thus create environmental awareness, particularly regarding owner-occupied single-family home renovation. Nevertheless, the experiences of LAs developing web portals have rarely been studied. Therefore, this paper analyses the development process of various LA web modules and investigates how LAs foster modular web portals to stimulate the adoption of home renovation with parameters to assess LAs’ actions in terms of the management of web-modules development. A homeowner renovation journey model is applied to map current local authority developments. Case study research and interviews were done to analyse and evaluate the adoption of modular web portals developed and tested by six local authorities in four countries in Europe. Based on the development and use of the modular web portal, lessons have been derived emphasising the importance of co-creation, integrating with offline activities, and a strategic management plan.

Abstract: This article discusses the intentions and experiences from architects and pedagogues involved in planning and establishing kindergartens with new building topologies in Oslo. The National Kindergarten effort (St.meld.nr. 24 2002-2003) with the political aim that all children between one and six years should have the right to attend kindergarten, led to a huge development of kindergarten buildings all over Norway. Many of the buildings were designed as new typologies named base and zone kindergartens. There are barely research on processes and consequences of the changes in physical structures in educational institutions. The results of the research presented here are based on a case study of processes in four municipalities in Oslo. It shows that the staff working in the new buildings had scarcely any knowledge of the intentions behind the new design, and the support in  establishing pedagogical work in new physical frames was limited. The aim of the article is to expand the knowledge about connections between architecture and pedagogic, and point to the importance of involving the staff/professionals in educational changes where the physical environment is at stake. These findings may be relevant to other transformations involving organizational and architectural changes. Sammendrag: Artikkelen drøfter intensjoner og erfaringer hos arkitekter og pedagoger involvert i planlegging og etablering av barnehager med nye bygningstypologier i Oslo. Barnehageforliket (St.meld.nr.24 2002-2003) innebar et politisk vedtak om barnehageplass for alle og førte til en massiv utbygging av barnehager over hele landet. Mange av de nye byggene ble oppført med nye typer planløsninger (base- og sonebarnehager). Det finnes lite forskning om prosesser og konsekvenser knyttet til endring av fysiske strukturer i pedagogiske institusjoner. Forskningsresultatene som presenteres i artikkelen er basert på en casestudie av prosesser i fire bydeler i Oslo, og viser at personalet i de nye byggene hadde lite kjennskap til intensjoner bak byggenes utforming og opplevde lite støtte i etableringsprosessen. Artikkelens formål er å bidra til kunnskap om betydningen av å involvere personalet i pedagogiske reformer og i utvikling av det fysiske miljøet. Funnene kan ha overføringsverdi til andre reformer som innebærer organisatoriske og arkitektoniske endringer.

Despite a growing recognition of the intersectional relationship between homelessness and incarceration, we have a limited knowledge about housing policy and practice for people leaving custody and (ex)offender groups in the community. Addressing these gaps, this paper provides an overview of the main local housing authority statutory duties in the provision of housing support for prison leavers and (ex)offenders in England and Wales, and situates the issues with accessing accommodation within the wider context of austerity. The paper presents a case study that explores criminal justice practitioners’ experiences of working with local authority housing agencies. Stemming from 25 interviews with housing practitioners and criminal justice practitioners, the paper outlines the main challenges facing criminal justice agencies as they try to secure accommodation for homeless (ex)offenders and resettle them in the community. Finally, the paper concludes by raising critical questions about the housing options for this population, now and in the future.

Teaching Learning

This case study examines the physical aspects of a particular university classroom, and what affect specific changes to the classroom had on the perceptions of students, instructors and observers regarding the room as an effective learning space. We compare survey and focus group data collected from students taking courses in the classroom prior to changes to the physical environment with comparable data from students taking courses in the same classroom after specific changes had been made. Immediately following changes to the classroom, notable increases were observed in reported perceptions of student satisfaction with the physical environment, including perceptions of the classroom as a more effective and engaging learning space. Similar perceptions of improvement as a teaching-learning space were reported by instructors and observers. However, subsequent follow-up data collection and analyses suggested little if any sustained increase in perceptions of efficacy of the room as a learning space; indeed, most reported variables returned to baseline levels. The implications of these findings and their relevance to classroom design nevertheless may provide insight regarding the manner in which physical space might support or even enhance teaching and learning.
