Therefore, the objectives of this research are to determine the existing types of ablution platforms and spaces, and to analyze the design features and criteria of ablution platform and areas. Observation on physical studies of the collected samples from case studies has been done regarding its physical elements found at the mosques. Data collection has been analyzed by photo elicitation and line-up studies on the physical elements including design forms, dimensions, materials and safety. The results showed that there are two types of ablution platform; with seats and without seat. Both types of ablution platform are not user-friendly to the users especially PwDs.
