Expert Profile


LAr. Dr. Khalilah Zakariya is an Associate Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture, Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED). As an academician and a registered Landscape Architect, she has an academic background in landscape architecture and tourism planning. Over the 14 years of her experience in academia, she has taught various design subjects that include landscape architecture, urban landscape design, landscape resource planning, and landscape heritage and cultural studies. Expanding from this field, her research and consultancy projects explore the interrelated areas between the built environment and tourism, with an interest in how we map, design and experience local places in the city. Her current works examine ways which designers and planners can engage with public spaces through the notion of place and place experience among different users. Through national research grants, she has completed research projects on examining public markets as cultural heritage for tourism, exploring Islamic public art, and mapping activities in urban squares.
She was previously involved in the tourism product audit under the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia, for the states of Terengganu, Kelantan and Negeri Sembilan. Her recent on-going research project is on the Rural Landscape Corridor for Tourism Route Planning. She was also involved in consultancy projects, which were Cultural Mapping of Traditional Businesses and Heritage Trades in Downtown Kuala Lumpur and Pelan Induk Landskap for Majlis Daerah Gerik.
