Malaysia's population ageing has concentrated on the elderly and all areas of their well-being as the country aspires to become a developed nation by 2040. In the planning and design of urban environments, there is a critical requirement for adoptive social comfort among the elderly. User-centered design for the elderly is more complex than for other user groups. Researchers must be aware of the behaviors, sensory and cognitive abilities, and attitudes of the elderly when conducting the study. To address this issue, this study's objective is to explore and analyse the existing methods and tools used in urban park study among the elderly. To meet the study's goals, the researcher should employ practical approaches. This study employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method published in 2009. The authors used Science Direct and an archival Scopus database to manage the search results and systematically reviewed existing literature on the elderly in the urban park. Keywords related to "elderly and urban parks design" were examined in articles published between 2016 and 2021. Resulting in 31 relevant papers, the methods used have been analysed, and the effective way to be used in handling research in urban park design for the elderly in Kuala Lumpur. This article was to combine field observation and interviews with users and experts.

It is unfortunate that for years, the Klang and Gombak River has been transformed into a concrete drainage and lost its identity. This is worsened by the lack of aesthetic value and the absence of social activities along the riverside area. ‘River of Life’ (RoL) project initiated by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall is an ambitious attempt to revitalize the Kuala Lumpur riverfront. Since the proposed riverfront involves in making new public spaces for the community, the community preference for the visual image of the riverfront should be considered. This paper discusses the importance of visual preference and the influencing factors in recreating a successful riverfront. The finding is important to consider in designing Kuala Lumpur future riverfront that suits the character of the city and fulfill the community perceptions

In the effort to develop a sustainable riverfront development, it is important to understand the key factors that influence the user's preference towards the river. This paper examines the relationship between the demographic characteristics of the users who reside along the river and their visual preferences towards future riverfront in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The study involved a photoquestionnaire survey with 304 respondents coming from different ethnic groups and socioeconomic backgrounds. Correlation analysis was used to measure the significant difference between the visual preference dimension and the cultural dimensions of the respondents. This study revealed that the respondents identified strongly with a more organized riverfront setting and also spaces that have greater accessibility to the water body for future image of Kuala Lumpur riverfront.

It is unfortunate that for years, the river has been transformed into a concrete drainage and lost its identity. This is worsened by the lack of aesthetic value and the absence of social activities along the riverside area. ‘River of Life’ project initiated by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall is an ambitious attempt to revitalise the Kuala Lumpur riverfront. The aim is to improve the city image and to create opportunities for development close to the city centre. Since the proposed riverfront involves the making of public spaces, the public preferences need to be considered in developing effective riverfront development. This study was carried out to determine the visual preference of Kuala Lumpur riverfront as perceived by the residents of Kampung Bharu, Brickfields, Chow Kit and Titiwangsa. Visual Preference Survey was conducted with 304 respondents....
