A Structural Model for Developing Maintenance Culture in Malaysian Local Authorities

Infrastructure development is fundamental to the success of a country to achieve the status of the developed nation. However, the development made is deemed to be unsuccessful without a high culture of maintenance to maintain the existing infrastructure. Nevertheless, the effort is unworthy since the performance level for the maintenance of an immovable asset in Malaysia, especially those that belong to Local Authorities are still at an inadequate level. Local Authorities hold a large number of facilities that place demands on resources. Regarding this scenario, the purpose of this research was carried to produce a structural model for developing of maintenance culture in Malaysian local authorities.
