Design and management go hand in handFrom the beginning of the planning process through the choice of

landscape and plant materials, designers should take into account theeffects these have on maintenance after it is built.

WAY FORWARDThere is an urging need for Sabah to increase public open spaces andgreen landscape provision

From 73,620km square of Sabah Local Authority administration area in

total, there should be a 7,362 km square (10%) of land reserved forthe purpose of public recreation

Current acreage of Sabah s developed public open space is at

1,994.34 acres which is crucially low

Out of 109 numbers of public open spaces developed in Sabah, only 3are Urban parks, and there are yet a regional park in Sabah

CONCLUSION

In ensuring total urban wellbeing, landscape has a vital role to playthrough developing quality open spaces and public parks.

But most importantly, the State Authority who has the total power inprojecting and planning lands in Sabah shall carry the most

important role that is to identify and gazzette suitable sites forpublic open spaces and parks according to the population -- withoutwaiting for the submissions from developers.

The Federal Government shall assist the state in developing

seamless and well-connected open spaces.

Whilst, the Local Authority roles are to ensure the quality and accessto the public following current landscape policy available

The Local Authority and the general public to ensure the sustainableopen spaces thru effective maintenance and zero-vandalism
