Description:
"... The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in partnership with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore is preparing a regional status report within the framework of the global status reporting on sustainable buildings, launched by the United Nations Environment Programme - Sustainable Buildings and Climate Initiative (UNEP-SBCI). The regional status reporting will collate the current status and trends from sustainable buildings initiatives in the region, with the aim of publishing the Regional Status Report on Sustainable Building Policies in South-East Asia.
The Regional Status Report on Sustainable Building Policies in South-East Asia will provide an overview of the policies and initiatives put in place in various South-East Asian countries on promoting the development of sustainable buildings, with a first focus on Energy Efficiency related initiatives. The report is being conducted by BCA?s Centre for Sustainable Buildings and Construction (CSBC).
Countries participating in the Regional Status Report on Sustainable Building Policies in South-East Asia are: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
The Country Report on Sustainable Building Policies on Energy Efficiency in Brunei Darussalam is part of the series of Country Reports linked to the Regional Status Report on Sustainable Building Policies in South-East Asia.
The Country Report on Sustainable Building Policies on Energy Efficiency, collated as of June 2011, aims to profile country?s sustainable building policies and initiatives according to the four category classification of policy instruments developed by UNEP-SBCI, stated in the publication of the ?Assessment of Policy Instruments for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Buildings, 2007”. These four types of policy instruments cover the whole range from voluntary to regulatory.
The four policy instruments categories are:
• Category 1: Voluntary Instruments
• Category 2: Fiscal Instruments
• Category 3: Regulatory Instruments
• Category 4: Market-based Instruments..."

Abstract: "With
the
major
economic
system
changes,
many
new
developments
are
observed
in
every
sector
of
Myanmar.
Urban
landscaping
is
an
integral
part
of
modern
urban
construction
and
also
presents
the
development
of
economic
conditions.
One
of
the
most
important
factors
of
urbanization
is
population
size.
Urbanization
is
developed
rapidly,
based
on
rural-‐urban
migration
and
natural
growth
of
cities
and
towns.
As
urban
area
develops
changes
occur
in
the
landscape
such
as
buildings,
roads,
recreational
sites.
etc.
Although
the
country?s
population
remains
largely
rural
because
of
Myanmar
economy
is
based
on
agriculture,
urban
population
growth
was
faster
than
spatial
growth.
Yangon
is
Myanmar?s
largest
urban
area.
However,
spatially
it
grew
between
2000
and
2010,
increasing
at
a
rate
of
0.5%
a
year,
from
370
square
kilometers
to
390.
This
paper
studies
many
social
(traffic
congestion,
waste
disposal,
water
problems)
and
environmental
issues
(pollution)
in
urbanization
and
concludes
that
long-‐term
solutions
to
these
problems.
Therefore
this
paper
presents
the
structure
of
urban
landscape
of
some
significant
features
within
Myanmar
and
the
controlling
factors
to
this
urban
landscape.
If
population
growth
and
urbanization
are
given
sufficient
attention
in
economic
policies
which
must
seek
to
manage
for
the
sustainable
future
urban
landscape
of
Myanmar.".....Paper delivered at the International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies: Burma/Myanmar in Transition: Connectivity, Changes and Challenges: University Academic Service Centre (UNISERV), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, 24-26 July 2015.

Description:
Abstract: "Myanmar
has
a
land
area
of
676,581
km2
with
an
estimated
population
of
51.49
million,
consisting
of
diverse
ethnic
groups
speaking
over
100
languages
and
dialects.
Myanmar?s
transition
from
military
regime
to
civilian
rule
started
under
a
new
Constitution
that
came
into
effect
in
May,
2008.
During
its
transition,
Myanmar
needs
more
effective
national
and
regional
development
and
governmental
reforms
and
restructuring.
People‐centred
development
reforms
need
to
be
implemented
in
order
to
reach
international
standards&meet
the
people?s
needs.
A
people‐centered
development
strategy
incorporates
the
values
of
justice,
sustainability,
and
inclusiveness.
A
number
of
reforms
have
already
been
undertaken
in
the
financial
sector,
in
relaxing
media
censorship,
release
of
detainees
and
reaching
ceasefire
agreements
in
a
number
of
conflict
areas.
Although
the
government
has
enacted
the
new
Environmental
Law
and
related
regulations
to
use
natural
resources
in
a
sustainable
manner,
there
are
many
environmental
problems
caused
by
development
projects
of
various
sectors.
Between
one‐third
and
one‐fourth
of
the
population
is
estimated
to
be
living
under
the
poverty
line
but
almost
80
percent
of
inhabitants
are
living
either
in
poverty
or
very
close
to
it.
Despite
significant
efforts
during
the
transition
period
in
Myanmar,
there
is
still
a
long
way
to
go
in
developing
a
comprehensive
social
protection
scheme.
Myanmar
attempts
to
manage
a ?triple
transition”:
nation
building,
state‐building
and
economic
liberalization.
Rule
of
law
is
crucial
for
peaceful
and
sustainable
development.
Transitions
are
never
smooth,
and
it
is
likely
that
the
situation
on
the
ground
in
Myanmar
will
get
messier
before
it
gets
better.
Myanmar
should
work
to
ensure
that
current
positive
trends
continue
to
2015
and
beyond.
In
order
to
sustain
its
growth
momentum
in
the
long
run,
Myanmar
should
aim
for
a
growth
trajectory
that
is
inclusive,
equitable,
and
environmentally
sustainable."...Paper delivered at the International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies: Burma/Myanmar in Transition: Connectivity, Changes and Challenges: University Academic Service Centre (UNISERV), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, 24-26 July 2015.
