Abstract
The risk management process is an integral part of all project activities and proportionally customized
as one process. This paper prepared to review risk management process integration into the
landscape architecture project lifecycle in Malaysia. Data collected from three completed landscape
architecture projects studied through structured interviews and project document reviews. The data
analyzed using content and thematic analysis. The study found the ineffective risk management
process integration into the project lifecycle with the result of the incomplete, unplanned and intended
process, and redundant activity ow. Specific integration strategies recommended accommodating
landscape architecture project context for practical risk management applications.
