“…The house is an integral part of man's daily life and, without it, many factors would be hampered. Different researchers have discussed housing, its classifications, and its importance to man (Vale et al 2014;Wahi et al 2018). It is a global problem, and the government alone cannot provide affordable housing for all its citizens.…”

“…Many people across the globe suffer from the effect of a lack of better and more affordable sources of accommodation. Different studies have discussed housing shortages in urban and semi-urban areas (Bhide et al 2019;Gayinu et al 2014;Mohd Noor 2017;Bakhtyar et al 2013;Wahi et al 2018) and unaffordability due to the high cost of building materials and loans (Djebarni & Al-Abed 2000). Bhide et al (2019) argued that housing problems should not be limited to affordable housing, but a robust approach should be adopted to tackle the housing problem.…”

Background: The last three decades have witnessed a remarkable transformation from a traditional billing system to a subscription model. Many organizations have adopted the subscription models especially in the service sectors like telecommunication, internet service providers, and satellite television operators. During the lockdown occasioned by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, people were forced to subscribe for their daily needs, and their lifestyle was altered, and people must reset to cope with the new normal. The new normal era has exposed many people to subscribe to what they could afford based on length of time and limited resources. Unexpected daily economic challenges emerged, and people relocated to affordable places which led to rent default, rent arrears, and refund requests. This paper focused on how to solve rent default, rent arrears, and refund request problems in the public and private housing sector. Methods: Relying on this, we proposed recursive-adaptive rental subscription models (R-ARSM) that could allow tenants options to subscribe for house rent with available resources. The R-ARSM concept mimics the internet subscription, mobile phone subscription, and satellite television subscription models whereby services to customers on annually, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly rates are terminated when the subscribed amount elapses. Results: The model based on the penalty constant showed that it is a balanced model for both landlords and tenants in the housing sector. The R-ARSM showed promising results, it is time-dependent and indicates the tenant's available balance per period. Conclusions: The analysis revealed that the R-ARSM concept would solve refund requests and rent default problems if implemented.

“…Rapid urbanization in Kuala Lumpur and Yangon demands vast land for living and activity space. It directs to the decreasing land availability and on the other side tightens the competition for the remaining land, ascending its price [31,32]. Land scarcity also forces Kuala Lumpur and Yangon residents to seek for the land outward, causing urban sprawl.…”

Capital city relocation issue is currently emerging due to the condition and problem Indonesia encounters. Study toward some cases of capital city relocation could be crucial input for analysis and comparison. This paper aims to review capital city relocation examples. Literature review shows there are variances in background and driving factors internally or externally, and infrastructure needs for city development. The driving factors consist of environmental pressure, pollution, urban heat island, housing, urban sprawl, and disaster. The infrastructures required for the development of a new capital city are information and communication technology (ICT), physical infrastructure, transportation, and open green space. From the analysis, Myanmar’s Yangon to Naypyidaw relocation and Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya relocation are the best practices in capital city development that boosts new activities and urban extension. Burma shows the infrastructure’s role in development of a new capital city and Kuala Lumpur reveals how ICT implementation helps to establish a new capital city. This paper is expected to fill the research gap from previous research in terms of reviews related to the need for ICT in capital city preparation. This indicates that this paper has followed the trend of ICT advancement. The next research and publication will strengthen the use of ICT as one of the variables.
