Abstract

The study's purpose is to assess project issues' controllability and indicate the necessity for a management system in Malaysian landscape architecture projects. A semi-structured interview with twenty-four Klang Valley landscape architects was utilised to collect data. The acquired material was analysed using content and thematic analysis. The study discovered that project issues could be managed if anticipated and addressed in advance. Despite this, inaction on common issues continues to affect project outcomes negatively. The study recommends developing a procedure for forecasting, evaluating, and treating future concerns.
