| Summary: | In Malaysia, sustainable construction concept has been practiced by government since year
2000 to minimize the environmental issues in construction industry. The level of sustainability
in construction industry is still low and need to be improved in which it requires responsibility
by construction stakeholders particularly developers, who plays the important roles in the
development process. This research adopted quantitative and qualitative research
methodology to achieve the aim of the research. This research employed questionnaire
survey to 142 developers and semi-structured interview to six (6) registered architects from
Klang, Selangor to determine the level of consciousness in terms of knowledge and
implementation level on the current sustainable construction practice in Malaysia. All selected
developers were registered under Jabatan Perumahan Negara. The item studied include
background of respondents, developer knowledge and the company implementation on
sustainable construction practice. The findings from the questionnaire survey were analysed
based descriptive and content analysis. The results indicate that the conceptual knowledge of
developer on sustainable construction is at moderate level whereas the social concept is the
highest compared to the economy and environment concept. The implementation of the
developer on sustainable construction result is also at moderate level. From the research, it
can be concluded that the consciousness in term of level of knowledge and implementation
among developer on the current sustainable construction practice in Malaysia is still low.
However, there is still room for improvement in terms of long-term benefits. Future research
may focus on innovation strategy that can give more idea to improve the developer
knowledge and better implementation on sustainable construction. |
