ABSTRACT
This is because; most of them manly focus on the space utilization rates. Meanwhile, aspects such as how to conduct the survey, rates achieved and their interpretations and remedies is given few concerns, although the pattern of space management and space use are often different. Most of the previous report refers NAO (1996) & SCHEV (2004) for the interpretation of the utilization rate has been achieved, regardless of the pattern of use of space in HEIs. Currently, the remedy for the interpretation of the space utilization rates, it is only given in general. In addition, issues such as budget constraints to implementation teams and the implementation method of space utilization survey issues that often interfere with the process of teaching and learning at HEIs (SU:PPG, 2006; Sharp, 2009) can be overcome with studies related to the academic space utilization framework. Thus, the framework we are working on will be one of the mechanisms for the measurement of operating performance and the level of utilization of space. This can be used as one of the solutions to accommodate the increasing needs of space. A summary of the components of the space utilization survey can be seen in Table 1.
