Abstract:While several studies examined land use and land cover changes in the central and western parts of Saudi Arabia, this study is the first to use remote sensing data to examine the decadal land cover changes in Saudi Arabia's eastern coastal city of Al-Khobar between 1990 and 2013. Specifically, it utilized ISODATA classification method to classify Landsat TM, ETM+, and OLI data collected (2013) indicates a high rate of urban sprawl and the city dispersing near the outskirts and towards the neighboring cities of Dhahran and Dammam. Future studies should examine the current challenges faced by the city's residents due to urban expansion and attempt to find ways to resolve them in the near future.

“…Religious buildings, including temples, churches, synagogues, and mosques have always been one of the integral components of the urban layout (Ayhan & Mert Cubukcu, 2010). The Mosque as a vital part of a Muslim majority area, therefore, helps support the change process.…”

The government expects the population in Greater Kuala Lumpur will grow up to 10,000,000 by 2020 under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). The development of Malaysia is now guided by the national agenda and Vision 2020 that envisions Malaysia as a fully developed country economically, socially, politically and spiritually. Religious facility requirement for Vision 2020 states 309 new mosques have to be established to fulfill the need of the growing population. While the land constraints remain for the city of Kuala Lumpur, the necessity of the ever increasing population cannot be overlooked. This necessitates developing an innovative tool which can provide a layout for maximizing the space use within the limited boundary. This paper studies the current space use patterns and formulates design framework for the mosque as a community center in the urban fabric of Kuala Lumpur. The research method is a combination of a qualitative and quantitative approach. The sample consisted of mosques in Kuala Lumpur, and data collection technique was semi-structured interview and observation. Effective and efficient community development functions are expected from the Institution of the mosque as a community center which can enhance not only to serve and strengthen the relationship of the Muslim community but also strengthen the ties of Malaysia's multiracial society as a whole.

“…It comprises the study of human physical habitats and the processes of their formation. The roots of the field go back to as early as 1899, when the classical work of Otto Schuüller, Über den Grundriß der Städte (On the Layout of Towns), was published (Larkham 1996;Hofmeister 2004;Ayhan and Cubukcu 2010). Within the urban morphology framework, the urban spatial structure has been studied in different contexts by different researchers to understand the content, the characteristics, the formation, the layout, the problems, and the challenges in cities.…”
