This is in line with Bahauddin and Ramli (2011) and many other scholars such as Zwain andBahauddin (2017a, b, 2019) and Khoo and Lim (2019). So many factors were considered in the classification, such as changes in the building architecture, social evolution, cultural trends, technological developments, among others.…”

PurposeThe traditional courtyard shophouses modifications, alterations and deterioration over the years have become a source of concern to major stakeholders. In George Town World Heritage Site Malaysia, studies have shown that the worst hit among its various shophouses are the Straits Chinese traditional courtyard eclectic style shophouses. This paper investigates the traditional courtyard shophouses concerning the role of architectural formation design components, and how this can sustain the place identity of the Straits Chinese typology.Design/methodology/approachThe methodological approach regards the collection of data and analysis of 30 face-to-face interviews and the observation of Lots number 3, 5 and 7, located along Lorong Ikan, George Town World Heritage Site.FindingsIt was found that these Lots express the place identity of the Straits Chinese, and its major exterior architecture components to be observed are the column head (Chi Tou) capital, parapet wall, bressummer beam and ionic column, and gable and gable ends.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper is limited to the role of architectural formation design components. Future research is needed to expand the scope of participant elements via a quantitative approach. This will enhance the validation of findings from this paper.Practical implicationsIt is recommended the use of the proposed checklist to enhance the sustainability of the architectural components regarding the place identity of these styles of shophouses, which provides salutary lessons on how to preserve the heritage buildings. Also, major stakeholders with leading evidence from relevant government agencies should ensure the preservation of these cultural and heritage buildings for the next generation.Social implicationsThis paper found that the family beliefs and social impact were the components that express the place identity of the Straits Chinese.Originality/valueThis paper demonstrates that the role of architectural formation design components regarding place identity of Straits Chinese traditional courtyard eclectic style shophouses cannot be over-emphasised.

It does help a lot.” ( Widome et al, 2011 ) “...we are careful and religiously obeying the government regulation of physical distancing, self-isolation, and frequent handwashing to avoid health crisis within the shophouse [residence].” ( Zwain, 2021 ) …”

“…(Widome et al, 2011) "...we are careful and religiously obeying the government regulation of physical distancing, self-isolation, and frequent handwashing to avoid health crisis within the shophouse [residence]." (Zwain, 2021) Smokers who had retained their old habits were from regions where the legislation was newly implemented or areas where the law was not observed (e.g., China, Greece) (Li and Collins, 2017;Louka et al, 2006). Similarly, some rural US and Hispanic communities also experienced a general reluctance to adopt new COVID-19 preventive behaviours (Koon et al, 2021;Moyce et al, 2021).…”

Regulatory health policies facilitate desired health behaviours in communities, and among them, smoke-free policies and COVID-19 restrictions have been widely implemented. Qualitative research studies have explored how these measures and other environmental influences shape preventive behaviours. The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize previously published qualitative research, generate across-study themes, and propose recommendations for behaviour change interventions. We used a comprehensive search strategy, relevance screening and confirmation, data extraction, quality assessment, thematic synthesis, and quality-of-evidence assessment. In total, 87 relevant studies were identified. Findings were grouped under six overarching themes and mapped under three categories: (i) the political environment, (ii) the sociocultural environment, and (iii) the physical environment. These findings provide insights into the environmental influences of behaviour and indicate future interventions may be more effective by considering moral norms, community norms, policy support, and group identity.
