Abstract
In Malaysia, a substantial amount of money is spent yearly to maintain the public parks. However, there are still countless parks and open spaces that have been built with excellent facilities for the public but are being unkempt, deteriorating into disrepair and poorly maintained. Considering the importance of the public park to the community and how this is a critical link to landscape planning and maintenance, there is a need for a cost-efficiency study to set forth a strategy that best works to mitigate this issue. Adopting a quantitative research approach, the focus of this survey is to validate the expert's selection regarding attributes and parameters for the urban park maintenance checklist. The Percentage of Consensus of Agreement (PoCoA) analysis applied for this study has further demonstrated the significant sustainable landscape maintenance checklist criteria. The summary of these findings reveals the expert's preferences and validation process that further paved the conclusion on the need for sustainable landscape maintenance criteria that synergise to cost efficiency, linking to best practices for sustainable landscape planning and management.
