“…The technology or product focused studies, albeit applicable to SBs, are unable to manifest the interdependence within the building, e.g. the paper by Isik and Tulbentci [21] examining the ESE performance of gypsumstabilized earth, and the paper by Mateus et al [29] studying lightweight partition walls. The industry level articles adopt the industry, national, global issues as their unit of analysis, but fail to address a particular building, e.g.…”

Buildings are the largest energy consumers and greenhouse gases emitters, both in the developed and developing countries. In continental Europe, the energy use in buildings alone is responsible for up to 50% of carbon dioxide emission. Urgent changes are, therefore, required relating to energy saving, emissions control, production and application of materials, use of renewable resources, and to recycling and reuse of building materials. In addition, the development of new eco-friendly building materials and practices is of prime importance owing to the growing environmental concerns. This review reflects the key tendencies in the sector of sustainable building materials of a non-metallic nature that have occurred over the past decade or so

“…Compared with other counterparts, island housing is a topic that has been overlooked for a long time. However, existing literature on this field, such as case studies conducted by Isik and Tulbentci (2008) and Hadjiyanni (2000) in Cyprus, research carried out in Ireland by McElduff, Peel and Lloyd (2013), an investigation into the case of Key West, Florida by Schively(2008), to name but a few, shows potential research value in this field.…”

The paper uses the "New Urban Agenda" and the "Age-friendly Cities" as research framework, to investigate housing for island-based older people living in one developing area of China. The results identify that local older residents are facing: difficulties in getting modifications and maintenance because of the younger generations' migration and local industrial development, poor affordability of care home living, as well as poor transport links that prevent access to housing services. These issues are caused by the "urban-rural linkages" as well as "urbanization", which are important points in the "New Urban Agenda".Based on the findings, the author argues that future actions need to be done to make the implementation of the "New Urban Agenda" more age-friendly.
