【 摘 要 】

Space management is a process to determine efficiency, allocation of space, problems and issues including monitoring the current usage of space. Space Management in Higher Education is an important subject as providing a space is expensive and university itself should be able to provide the best service to support the core business of the universities. However, university commonly faced problem of limited space to cater universities programs and some spaces are not fully utilized. The challenges during implementation of space management in higher education institution are availability of information, personnel experience, availability of space, different interest and objective, lack of research and ineffective systems implemented. Thus aim for this paper to highlight the barriers and challenges faced on the space management implementation. A thorough literature review conducted to gauge potential of space management in Higher Education. The questionnaire distributed among academic staff of Higher Education in Sarawak to determine the challenges towards the space management. The finding revealed that space limitation in the higher education institution is the main challenges towards efficient implementation of space management. The outcome of this study will help to provide some insight for Higher Education in Sarawak to plan a better space management.
