Abstract
A mosque plays a significant function as the centre of knowledge in spreading Islamic civilization and building up positive social traits of the ummah. Nevertheless, some mosques place a good deal of priority on architecture and interior design without considering the aspect of community space or gathering point. The design and integration of public and open spaces of the mosques are important vital elements for the spiritual development of a community. The objectives of this research are to analyse the existence of open space at selected mosques, to identify the vital elements in planning for public space and to design utility open spaces around mosques. This research progresses through site visits at four mosques. It conducts a detailed observation of space using a checklist inventory and analyses the integration space of the mosques. This research found that open space and integration of space hold special significance to the community.
