| Riassunto: | Green home concept is an effort made to reduce the impacts of pollution, saving energy and
educate Malaysian people with sustainable lifestyle. The aim of this study was to examine
consumers' preference on green home attributes in Peninsular Malaysia defined by carbon
dioxide (C02) emission, rainwater harvesting system, natural air ventilation, and greeneries area.
Self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain· necessary data from 300 selected
households through stratified random sampling in Kajang and Bandar Baru Bangi, using
questionnaires through face to face. The choice model technique was applied to estimate the non
market values for this study. The results show that all the attributes are tested significant in
generic form, while only three are tested significant in label form. Two attributes are tested
insignificant which is rainwater harvesting system and greeneries area in label form. The
estimated implicit values for green home attributes based on Multinomial Logit regression shows
that natural indoor air ventilation is the most important attribute. This is followed by greeneries
area, carbon dioxide (C02) emission and rainwater harvesting system. The findings also reveal
that Malaysian society preferred green home as compared to conventional housing based on the
attributes. Finally, the study highlighted several recommendations for households, developers
and government to stimulate the green home development in Malaysia. Future work should
examine the possibility of other attributes effect to consumers' sustainable lifestyle. |
