Governance, Strata Buildings, Property Management, Urban ConsolidationAbstract
The need for urban consolidation is very necessary in helping the cities to be more dynamic in term of transformation, transparency and technology. Although the role of strata buildings in Malaysia is increasing, nevertheless this issue has been less explored. The continuous growth of strata buildings indicates the need for effective property management system that promotes and nurtures value that would create high quality of living. Currently, none of Malaysia’s city is listed in the City Momentum Index; which one of the criteria is strong governance and planning. Therefore, the need for strata building for urban consolidation is vital for governance and management in practice. The underpinning of this study is to assess the current law and practice at federal level and evaluate with the industrial practice. A key component of this research is to formulate the best practice of governance in term of policy for strata buildings in Malaysia. The issues that circling the governance matters will be identified and further researched. Moreover, the effectiveness of Strata Title Act 1985 (Act 318) and Strata Management Act 2013 (Act 757) are also needed to be evaluated in the current practice of strata buildings in Malaysia. Furthermore, the role of Commissioner of Buildings, Joint Management Body and developer as administrator who bears the responsibility to carry out the provisions of the Act also need to reconcile to ensure good governance of strata buildings in Malaysia.
