“…Health problems related to the digestive tract seemed to be the most common symptoms found in these districts; for example, both odynophagia and diarrhoea had high odds ratios. Poor sanitation, inadequate clean water, and unhygienic living spaces in the urban kampung might be the main causes of these common health problems [ 18 ]. In this context, this study is consistent with previous studies by Garg et al (2020) and Cameron et al (2021), who examined whether the causes of diarrheal diseases in Indonesia are associated with household conditions and water quality by using over 6000 data points from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) [ 44 ].…”

“…Furthermore, the insulation performance of residential buildings, especially for low-income households in this country, is notoriously poor. Murtyas et al (2020) pointed out that people living in low-cost housing with inadequate insulation materials were susceptible to temperatures over 30°C for 5 to 12 hours a day [ 18 ]. In light of these findings, we used the following questions to examine the respondents’ thermal discomfort experiences: “How often did you struggle to sleep because of uncomfortable temperatures?” and “How often were you exposed to hot indoor air temperatures?”; respondents were asked to select one of the available answers: “Never”, “Less frequent”, “A few days or nights per month”, “A few days or nights per week”, and “Every day”.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the link between health problems, demographic factors, and the indoor environment quality of residents in Indonesia. We conducted a cross-sectional design study through a questionnaire survey with 443 respondents aged between 12 and 81 years. The questionnaire was concerned with previous health problem occurrences associated with thermal discomfort experiences, indoor environments, economic conditions, and basic anthropometric factors. Logistic regression with the odds ratio (OR) was applied to evaluate the tendency of different respondent groups to suffer from certain health problems, when compared to reference groups. Furthermore, structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to incorporate certain factors (economic conditions, thermal discomfort experiences, and perceived indoor environments) into a single model to understand their direct and indirect effects on health conditions. The results indicate that economic conditions are the most significantly associated with health problems. Furthermore, we found that the low-income group was the most vulnerable to health problems, including coughing, puking, diarrhoea, odynophagia, headaches, fatigue, rheumatism, fidgeting, skin rashes, muscle cramps, and insomnia (OR: 1.94–6.04, p <0.05). Additionally, the SEM suggested that the respondents’ economic conditions and thermal discomfort experiences had significant direct effects on their health problems with standardized estimates of -0.29 and 0.55, respectively. Additionally, perceived indoor environment quality, which is possible to cause thermal discomfort experience, indirectly affect health problems. These findings contribute an insightful and intuitive knowledge base which can aid health assessments associated with demographic and physical environments in developing sustainable and healthy environment strategies for the future.

“…By calculating the area under the curve (AUC) with a value ranging from 0 to 1 for each TSV scale, the students' sensitivity could be estimated [32,33]. A higher AUC represents an increased probability of students detecting the indoor air temperature threshold [41][42][43].…”

This study investigated children’s perceptions and adaptive behaviors related to indoor thermal conditions of classrooms in primary schools with no air-conditioning systems during both summer and winter in Dehradun City, Uttarakhand, India. Responses were collected from 5297 school children aged 6–13 years. During the measurement periods, 100% and 94% of the samples were obtained under conditions outside an 80% thermally acceptable comfort range in winter and summer, respectively. The analysis using receiver operating characteristics suggested that the students had the least sensitivity to the temperature variation for all scales of the thermal sensation vote (TSV). Approximately 95.1% of students were “very satisfied”, “satisfied”, or “slightly satisfied” with the thermal conditions under the condition of “extreme caution” or “danger” of heat risk. In contrast, adaptive thermal behaviors, such as adjusting clothing insulation ensembles, opening or closing classroom windows and doors, and utilizing ceiling fans, were found to be the most affordable options for optimizing indoor thermal comfort. Children’s reports of thermal sensations and thermal satisfaction did not correspond to the actual physical environment. This draws attention to the adequacy of applying widely used methods of TSV-based identification of the thermal comfort range in classrooms for children, especially in hot environments. The findings of this study are expected to serve as an evidence-based reference for local governments and authorities to take appropriate measures to mitigate heat risks for schoolchildren in the future.

“…This massive influx of population is often the main cause of urban kampung formation, a cluster of informal settlement created as a response toward people's need for affordable housing, making them commonplace within big cities [2,[4][5][6]. They often comprise low-income, low-quality settlements with inadequate infrastructure and public services, which sprout sporadically and are often at odds with business districts, even often considered as a slum-like habitat [2,[7][8][9]. In recent years, there has been a change in trends where kampungs are increasingly becoming the focus of development programs, occurring across various scales and receiving funding from multiple levels of government [10].…”

Rapid urban development in Southeast Asia is often the main cause of urban kampung formation, a cluster of sporadic and informal settlements. Kampungs possess the capacity to serve to build the local economy and provide culture conservation through heritage tourism. To promote sustainable development in heritage kampung tourism, it is imperative to propose directives that optimize its heritage qualities without compromising both the economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. This study aims to develop a comprehensive sustainable development framework on a local scale by implementing a novel prioritization approach. Descriptive statistical analysis, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Fuzzy AHP (FAHP) provide the researchers with a holistic understanding regarding heritage tourism sustainability by considering various stakeholders’ perspectives. Novel prioritization is presented using radar diagrams to understand how each variable, representing environmental, social, and economic criteria, has perceived importance according to experts and tourists. The analysis highlights the kampung Kayutangan’s sustainability while acknowledging variations in element importance, necessitating the alignment of development directives.
