Sustainable development becomes the significant tool of planning and design of building structures and infrastructures in this decade. The land use development for neighbourhood construction should be protected from being overused and devastated. Malaysia must starts to incorporate sustainable neighbourhood planning and design so that the future generation can be benefited from this type of development. However less focus is being paid to this type of development which needs attention to be given especially on small-scale green areas. The main concern of this paper is to address the practice of sustainable neighbourhood planning and design in Malaysia as it gives much impact to the living environment of a group of community. The issues pertaining Malaysian sustainable development planning and sustainable neighbourhood design were discussed in this paper. Results from the Malaysian Local Council Structure Plan review were discussed to highlight the sustainable neighbourhood importance. The result indicates that the sustainable neighbourhood planning and design in Malaysia needs to be improved over the current practices to create more environmental-friendly neighbourhood.

Energy is an important element in human life. Previous study discovered that buildings consumed more than 40% of global energy mainly electricity and emit 1/3 of global greenhouse gas through combustion of fossil fuels for generating electricity. Nowadays, global warming come to be a major issue facing the world and it leads to a better awareness about renewable energies as alternatives in generating electricity. In certain countries, solar farm has been adopted as an alternative in producing electricity. UTM spent millions of money every year for electricity bills and UTM could consider solar farm as an energy option in generating green electricity due to suitable climate and huge land bank. Governments incentives and decreasing PV panel price are opportunities to be appreciated for UTM to implement solar farm. However, high initial investment is needed to construct the solar farm. Additionally, decision will be based on financial benefits of the solar farm development. The aim of this study is to identify potential of solar farm implementation in generating green electricity. Data will be acquired via literature review, questionnaire survey, record review, and expert interview. Calculations on payback period and net present value were made based on interview data to identify potential of investment for solar farm. The study outlines the suitability factors for UTM to implement solar farm, at the same time financial benefits of solar farm implementation is portrayed.

This paper reports preliminary findings on the properties of concrete produced using iron ore tailings obtained from ZCM Minerals SDN BHD located in Kotta Tingi, Johor, Malaysia. The Iron Ore Tailings (IOT’s) a waste product, with particle size range from (850μm - 75μm) obtained from Iron Ore Processing was utilized as fine aggregate to produce concrete. Based on British Standard (BS) guidelines, normal concrete mix was designed. Five types of concrete samples (C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4) were produced, with the percentage of tailings used to replace sand as fine aggregate ranging from 0 to 40[%]. The reference sample is C0 with no tailings and the four others, containing tailings at 10[%] intervals. The effect of iron ore tailings on the consistency of the fresh concrete were studied, as well as the density, compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength, of the hardened concrete. The results of the consistency tests on concrete shows that the slump values ranges from 81 to 53[mm] from concrete sample C0 to C4 respectively, while the compacting factor values ranges from 0.92 to 0.89 respectively. The density of the produced concrete cube samples falls within the range 2350 to 2430[kg/m3]. The concrete sample C3 gave the highest compressive strength value of 43.70[N/mm2]. The concrete sample C3 also gave the highest flexural strength value of 4.79[N/mm2], while the The concrete sample C4 gave the highest splitting tensile strength value of 4.0[N/mm2] after curing period of 28[days].
