Lessons Learned..

Sustainable Housing And Development is an elective subject that I have to take in Semester 5. This subject is taught by Puan Mariatul Liza Bt Meor Gheda. there was a lot to learn in this module because it widen my view and knowledge about sustainability development. For this module, there are two assignments that I need to complete and all together the marks will be 100 marks.

The first assignment contains 30 marks out of 100. I had to prepare a problem statement on current issue on sustainable development. The current issue that I have found from the newspaper is about ' The awareness and application of sustainable construction concept by Malaysian Developers'. the concept of sustainable development is still new to Malaysia, so it is still at the starting stage. Although the developers are aware of the rising issues on sustainability, however, little efforts are generated from them in implementing it due to limited understanding, the concern about cost, poor knowledge and lack of enforcement by the government. Thus, to enhance the level of environmental awareness and civic consciousness among people to build sustainably in the future, the understanding, awareness and the way of initiate on this concept need to be improved to empower this concept be applied efficiently in future construction projects.

For the second assignment, which is a group assignment, I was divided into a group of 5 students to complete the assignment. Our task given was to prepare a proposal for smart and sustainable house design for future. The location chosen is Jerejak Island. This island is situated just 1.8km away from the hustle and bustle of Penang Island. Because of its strategic location, Jerejak Island is set to become the next Penang most development region, where living, entertainment, environment and business seamlessly converge within a bustling and vibrant metropolis.
