Description
Summary:This research is an effort to study the provision and location of proper women changing space in mosque (in Perak). In this investigation, two method will be used to gather the data. The first method is case study and observation. A total of six Mosques in Malaysia were visited to do research as examples to obtain relevant data. The second method survey questionnaire that will be distributed to 10 women in 6 different mosque. The questionnaire consist of 4short questions with optioned answer (yes/no) were distributed among the women prayer at the mosque to gain more concrete data. From the data collected, there are several findings. This investigation found that most of the mosque provide a changing space although it is not a proper dedicated space. The space used for changing is not a proper designed space for that purpose. Apart from that, a little consideration of suitability of space have been analysed. Based on this research, almost all the changing space is not suitable especially in term of privacy. Future mosque should take this space into consideration in designing women prayer area and emphasize sense of privacy especially awrah covering, in term of location and type of separation.|
