Preface

This book intends to share research works in the field of current niche area in sustainability management, beyond modern strategies and showcasing impact in developing countries. The work is a collection of various impactful research works presented during the Regional Conference of Civil Engineering and Sustainable Development Goals 2020 (RCCE & SDGs 2020), which held from 7 to 9 November 2021, co-organised together with UTM, MySUN, and AUN/SEED-Net, Japan. Contributing authors are from Malaysia, Vietnam, and Nigeria, whose research covers a range of sustainable management fields, from construction management, covid-19 impact to socio-economics, green initiatives, engineering, to framework and policies.

The importance of sustainability strategies and identification of impacts in developing countries is a vital element in physical and/or social development. The content of this book is concurrent to the SDGs awareness to provide information to the public, researchers, planners, and stakeholders dealing implicit and explicitly to sustainable development. A huge gratitude to all contributors involved in the production of this book.
