“…This is alarming, as an exclusionary attitude towards participating in socio-urban community activities is a sign of unsociable values. Such a lack of social interaction skills and a poor attitude towards forming relationships with neighbours might result from the individual's previous urban life [30]. This is because of the lack of social activities promoting a better rapport among neighbours.…”

In urban communities, the threat to residents’ social well-being arises from their social lives; however, there is little evidence demonstrating how urban communities are connected with each other to improve their well-being. Therefore, the current study aims to identify the satisfaction levels with socio-ecological support and facilities received by selected urban residents in Malaysia. The study also examines the link between residents’ satisfaction and their social participation, as well as social well-being. This survey used a set of closed-ended questionnaires. A simple random sampling technique was employed, where a total number of 2502 respondents from six zones participated in this study. The collected data were analysed descriptively and inferentially. The results revealed that the majority of respondents are satisfied with socio-ecological and physical green facilities. Better green infrastructure management practice is required because the results from this study identified scientific issues in green environments in urban recreational centres, waste management, regular health maintenance, landscaping, and building maintenance. Results showed significant differences in the residents’ social well-being based on their socio-economic backgrounds. Results also demonstrated that social participation has significantly contributed to the social well-being of urban residents. These findings indicate the importance of various socio-ecological programmes to ensure a positive impact on the social well-being of the urban community. Overall, this study suggests implementing a comprehensive support mechanism for socio-ecological support initiatives to improve the social well-being of urban residents.

“…Muslim scholars have interpreted the meaning of welfare in the above sentence as 'Waqf', that it is the only worship that can be categorized as a charity deed because the reward acquired by the endower is of constant reward -a reward acquired even after the endower has died and as long as the endowed property remains and is utilized (Siti Mariam, et.al, 2014). This practice can create a sense of responsibility, welfare and caring society (Awang, Ahmad, Mumpuniarti & Rahman 2019) as encouraged by Islam. Significant difference between Waqf models and endowment and welfare fund in the empowerment of education is in the aspect of religion.…”

This article discusses the Waqf Education Model especially on the concepts, the implementation of Waqf funds, Waqf fund management and its distribution. A documentary analysis was carried out to extract any relevant information on Waqf education. Waqf education has been found to be an important instrument for educational development. The result of the document analysis shows that Waqf education can form a collaborative network in the effort to develop educational institutions between the members of the community and education management especially higher education in Malaysia. It is suitable for establishing a strong financial support for underprevilaged communities. Among the biggest contributions of Waqf education is that it can reduce the government's burden in financial expenses and assist the students who are facing financial problems in institutions of higher learning. It is evident that students gained many benefits through the distribution of Waqf education. Hence, the Waqf education model is an alternative for higher education financing that is vital and capable of being applied worldwide.

This study aims to identify physical conflict management and avoidance between ethnic groups in transmigration settlements. Using a qualitative approach with data collection techniques comprised of observation and in-depth interviews, this research uses interpretive understanding for analyzing the data. Both macro-level and micro-level theories are applied in this research to analyze the interconnections of structure and agency. The fundamental question to be answered in this study is what causes conflicts between ethnic groups in transmigration settlement sites and how ethnic group citizens manage conflicts so that they do not become open conflicts and remain coexistent. Results show that the sources of conflict include the legal uncertainty of land ownership and the lack of social platforms for different ethnic groups to interact and discuss the problems. Social disparities between ethnic groups and differences in values and norms also contribute to the conflict. However, there was a potential for cooperation between ethnic groups. The different ethnic groups tend to restrain themselves and prevent violent conflict. The ethnic communities managed the conflict by ignoring disputes and making compromises to avoid open disagreements. These compromises involved lowering the demands and expectations of the object of conflict; the strategy manages the disputes and helps to reduce open disagreements and support multiethnic communities. In order for the ethnic groups involved in the conflict to negotiate and compromise, the availability of social space plays a pivotal role.
