PAM Survey 2021 Gender Equity in Architecture
Dear PAM Member,
Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) is currently conducting a survey on Gender Equity In Architecture for the year 2021. This survey will commence from 7 September to 6 October 2021 and a final report will be published by PAM.
Objectives
The aim of this questionnaire/survey is to aspire at gathering information on different trends regarding gender equality and to identify the current situation regarding gender equity in architecture students in Malaysia.
As female’s presence in the architectural profession has remained highly segregated. Although there is an apparent effort made to strive for gender equity and there is a decrease in the gender disparity, female architects remain heavily under-represented in the profession.
The results collected through this survey will be analysed for PAM to be able to outline the obstacles preventing the achievement of a better and more dynamic working life for females in the architectural profession. PAM believes that overcoming these obstacles and establishing a PAM Gender Equity Policy will be beneficial not only for the empowerment of females in society or the improvement of general gender equity statistics. It will also encourage more female participation in the profession.
Target Audience
PAM Student Members, pursuing architecture programmes in Malaysia.
Note
The data collected will be kept confidential, however, the result will be made known.
10 Free lucky draw to be given out randomly after the survey is completed.

Topic |
Infusion Of Values And Ethics In Architectural Education + Technology In 2020, Malaysia has been ranked 51 out of 180 countries in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) by the Malaysian Society for Transparency and Integrity (Tl Malaysia). While the effort in combating corruption is constantly pursued by the government of Malaysia, the issue of corruption in the construction industry is believed to be a significant concern not only to the players but also to the professionals, mainly the architects in practice. The professional integrity of an architect with good ethical values has been tarnished in the process of physical development. This has instigated the question of the extent to which the infusion of values and ethics is being inculcated in architectural education and technologies. The review and analysis on the integration of ethics in the current architectural education will be made and highlighted in the discourse. The findings would lead to recommendations on how best the values and ethics can be infused in the architectural education in Malaysia. While the discourse may or may not lead to conclusive findings, it is hoped that the morals and ethics among the professionals will be upheld. |
