Introduction
As we hoped that the New Kyoto Masjid should be able to serve the muslim community better especially in Kyoto, Japan, we developed a set criteria of this location based on the public survey. By this survey, we are able to have a clear picture about the population profile of muslim community in Kyoto, Japan and what the community expected about the location of new Kyoto Masjid. This survey was conducted within two weeks (June 9th – 23rd, 2017) consisting of 11 questions announced publicly in current Kyoto Muslim Association (KMA) masjid and shared to many community groups which are represented in KMA (Appendix A).
