Sonet, U N and Klufallah, M (2024) Evaluation of indicators for participatory and collaborative design process for public parks in Malaysia: Analytical hierarchy process. Journal of Construction in Developing Countries, 29(2), pp. 1-18. ISSN 1823-6499
Abstract
Public participation is deemed relevant and essential for ensuring a holistic approach with equal weighting in implementing the three sustainable pillars of environment, economy and society. Malaysia’s effective implementation of sustainable development frameworks also relies heavily on public participation activities. This participation allows for the incorporation of diverse perspectives, knowledge and experiences, ensuring that decisions and policies address the needs and aspirations of the affected community. This study examines the ranking of indicators for public participation exercises in park design in Malaysia. Using the analytical hierarchy process, 22 indicators from three main clusters were evaluated using a quantitative approach based on the opinions of subject matter experts. The methods of approach, types of public and public park design criteria are discussed in the results for the three construction phases recommended for implementation. This study establishes ranking indicators for each cluster relative to the three stages of development. The findings contribute to improving the present work process of the landscape architecture department at local authorities in Malaysia, ensuring an enhanced, holistic and impactful approach to participatory and collaborative design processes for public parks in Malaysia.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
