Accessibility has become a challenge in today's societies where everyone has equal rights to live in a barrier-free and accessible environment. A previous study indicated that those living in high-rise residences have limited access to facilities for the disabled that are provided in accordance to the Garis Panduan Reka Bentuk Sejagat (Universal Design). This paper aimed to determine the level of accessibility of selected six (6) design elements such as the ramp, stairs, main entrance, the lift, handrails, and parking space and the usefulness of legislation and standards in PPR Pekan Batu, Kuala Lumpur. Qualitative assessments were applied for the study using content analysis of planning guidelines and site observation. The results demonstrated that the efficiency of legislation and standards was a factor in the accessibility and usability of housing design elements for PWDs. Three (3) design elements- the stair, parking space, and main entrance, had recorded the lowest compliance scores compared to another two (2) elements- ramps and handrails, which recorded the second lowest compliance score. Meanwhile, the lift was recorded as the most compliant element based on its accessibility. The outcome of this study implied that different types of disabilities require varied housing accessibility requirements. This study improves accessible design elements for the disabled, resulting in a better environment.
... It originated from Patani or Sumatera. PV education in Kedah is said to have originated from Sumatera while pondok in Kelantan and Terengganu came from Patani [17].

As mentioned by [17], in Universal Design Index, there are six aspects to rate accessibility i.e. connectivity (15%) accessibility (25%), usability (20%), safety (20%), integrated design (10%) and operation and maintenance (10%) where the passing score is 65%. The six aspects need to interrelated to each other. ...
Pondok originates from an Arabic wordal-funduq which implies a hostel, a transitory home or dormitories meanwhile in Indonesia, a pondok is known as pesantren and dayah. The function of the pondok house is to serve as a center for the study of Islam in the Muslim community that does not have a specific age limit and is allowed to all genders. But most pondok houses are occupied by senior citizens who want to study Islam. The construction and existence of pondok house including facilities provided are mainly used for religious activity. Due to lack of law and regulations to govern the development of Pondok Village (PV), it drives a few problems that are related to insufficient facilities provided which then causes poor performance in managing it. This paper is presenting on the preliminary study from two pondok sites located in Perak, Malaysia. This paper is sought to discover the barriers related to implementing sustainable facilities management to PV. An interview with the building operators and an observation of the facilities provided in the PV was conducted. The findings reveal that lack of financial, lack of knowledge and skill related to sustainability, lack of staff to manage the building and facilities, lack of technology and inconsistent guidelines implemented are the key barriers that contribute to the performance of PV facilities management. Thus, this research recommends the implementation of sustainable facilities management of PV to reduce the cost of operating, proper training to the staffs that manage the facilities in a better way, thus increase skill and knowledge. Finally, the regulatory body should take holistic action in providing a standardization of facilities that should be provided in PV development and management.

Though housing is a basic right that everyone is entitled to without discrimination, in practice, persons with disabilities face numerous barriers in the enjoyment of this right. South Africa is plagued with what is often referred to as a housing crisis. Though the government has taken steps towards provision of housing to qualifying beneficiaries, including efforts to accommodate disability in housing policies and provision, persons with disabilities continue to face challenges and barriers that limit their enjoyment of their right to adequate housing. This article considers how South African government has facilitated access to appropriate (adequate or reasonable) housing for persons with disabilities and facilitated independent living and inclusion in communities for these persons. It considers, inter alia, how disability is accommodated in South African housing laws and policies, and if, in practice, it has translated to realisation of housing rights for persons with disabilities.
... The review of the literature by Yau (2006) suggested that studies on housing safety should focus on the epidemiological relationship between the living built environment and safety hazards. As revealed by Shahrom and Zainol (2015) it is important to address the house design that not only minimize the risk of trips but also to be easily accessible and effective. The majority of low-cost housing (LCH) studies in Malaysia incorporated the occupants' feedback for determining their satisfaction on the layout design of the houses (including space, parking, units, and orientation) (Abdul Karim, 2008;Mohit, Ibrahim, & Rashid, 2010;Mohit & Nazyddah, 2010;Rashid, 2008;Salleh & Yusof, 2006). ...
The aspects in a completed residence or house should able to enhance the quality of a building as well as to provide safety to the occupants. It has become increasingly important to evaluate housing property for many reasons. The attempt to enhance the aspect of safety planning in developing low cost houses is still neglected and one of the reasons that may contribute to this factor is due to the low price value. Hence, this paper emphasizes the application of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) that incorporates participation from the occupants as a tool to assess the safety performance of the Malaysian low-cost housing. The main aim of this study is to develop a framework of POE integrated with safety elements for Malaysian LCH. The inspection survey and occupants' satisfaction survey were carried out to 24 low-cost housing projects located in the federal territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The correlation result revealed that all attributes between the safety performance and the occupants' satisfaction had a significant relationship. This also manifests the occupants' feedbacks which were fed into the assessment of the housing safety performance.

Six strategies have been outlined in the policy, namely promotion and advocacy, life-long learning, safety and security, governance and shared responsibility, intergenerational solidarity, as well as research and development (Zawawi, 2013). ...
The growing population of elderly globally gives rise to the importance to provide better home for elderly. The homes for elderly need special features to support the decrease in physical to mental capabilities of elderly and enable them to lead an active and well-being lifestyle. Maintenance of this special feature and basic elements in the building play an importance role to ensure the homes are safe to live and will not endanger the users. This research aims to investigate the relationship of maintenance practices (staff behaviours) towards the common defects and resident's satisfaction of elderly homes. Questionnaire survey forms were distributed to the elderly to determine the types of defects and rank the behaviour of maintenance personnel. In addition, semi-structured interview was conducted with the maintenance personnel to validate the current maintenance practice in elderly homes. The findings proven that the behaviours of maintenance personnel were critical to convince the residents in executing the maintenance tasks and to reduce the occurrence of defect. In addition, the findings also proven the maintenance practice for active aging home is differ from usual building maintenance practices. The failure to differentiate the nature of operation could indirectly affect the maintenance performance of the buildings.
