Regarding our study findings, we have successfully acquired new Intellectual Properties (IP) that have been granted Copyright status. This intellectual property focuses on the 3D voxelization method for developing wind flow models.
Congratulations to Nurfairunnajiha Ridzuan. The student’s efforts have been acknowledged with accomplishment. It is her first opportunity to work with intellectual property. I intend to educate my students on the application procedures for intellectual property.
We certainly hope that our research lab will generate a more significant number of IPs.
This meeting was postponed from November to December. This is because our research lab is undergoing a major renovation and expansion to meet the needs of new students.
This meeting we introduced 3 new research members namely Syafiq, Husna and Farah. Each showed good progress despite having just started their studies in less than two months.
Hopefully next year more and more interesting research can be produced from our lab. See you next year (IA)!
This is the 11th journal publication in 2022. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2), a Malaysia Smart Cities Stakeholders Adoption Model (MSCSA) was employed as a case study in this research. In-depth interviews with specialists from smart city development agencies were conducted using a mixed-methods research approach. These assessments provide city officials with a mechanism for measuring citizen interest in smart city services and a road map for establishing an efficient smart city plan.

Feel free to read and share with your acquaintance.
I am very honored when my old friend Prof. Ismail Karas from KARABUK UNIVERSITY – Karabük Üniversitesi Turkiye was willing to pay us a visit at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Our long conversation started from matters related to research, student supervision, cooperation between universities, national governance related to higher education, up to local culture.
Our meeting was short and it feels like there should be continued maybe next time in Turkiye. Thanks for coming İsmail Rakıp Karaş!
Congratulations to both of my final year Bachelor Degree of Science Geoinformatics students. Finally, they successfully completed their dissertation and defended it during the viva session.
They admitted their previous “wrong moves” caused delays in completing their respective final year projects. I understand, it is a learning process. What is most important is that the experience of making mistakes, is the most valuable.
Congratulations Azbin Fahmi and Natashya! I knew from the start that you two could make it to the finish line.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT SPATIAL DATA SHARING IN MALAYSIA (JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING)
I am sharing with you our most recent article in the ISPRS journal. The uniqueness of the research pertains to new aspects, such as the observation of new mixed methods and factors, which leads to the sharing and analysis of spatial data. The infrastructure of spatial data or geospatial data infrastructure is an initiative that intends to establish a framework for collaboration and communication among all stakeholders. Under the Malaysian concept of integrated data development, Kuala Lumpur is among the regional governments responding to this national drive for local SDI. In examining the effects of local governments on SDI, numerous and intricate factors, such as organizations, politics, power, systems, standards, funding, individual traits, and communications, were evaluated. This study determined the elements that influence geographical data-sharing practices.
This research was published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information. It is a Q1 journal that is indexed by ISI. Please feel free to read it at https://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/11/8/446/pdf?version=1660189261
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION – FRONTIERS IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT JOURNAL
I wish to extend an invitation to submit a manuscript for the new article collection on “3D City Modelling in Built Environment” for the Frontiers in Built Environment journal.
This collection is being produced in collaboration with Frontiers in Built Environment. All research will be published in Open Access. Additionally, we aim to put together a free ebook of all published manuscripts to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the latest research developments in the field.
If you would like feedback on a manuscript’s suitability, please submit an abstract (or proposed research overview) by 23 September. As we publish on a rolling basis, you are welcome to submit your final manuscript before the deadline of 22 November. We can also accommodate personal extensions.

On the 17th of July 2022, the 3D GIS Research Lab held its monthly progress meeting. The students demonstrated the progress they had made in their research over the preceding month throughout the productive meeting. This time, we combined the discussion with student presentations at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Later, these students can communicate with one another and obtain an idea of how the study is conducted on various levels. I want to thank these students for their great performance on their individual research projects.
