[ms] The Concept of Use Value in Evaluation of E-Mosque: An Early Review

Abstract

The use of e-mosque in Malaysia is still under moderate level while the rate of internet users is quite high at 16.9
million in 2010. To increase the rate of penetrating into the e-mosque, it should be developed in accordance with the
requirements of consumers and also considering the needs of authority of the mosque. This study uses the concept of
consumer appetite for goods and services. This study focuses on four major mosques in Malaysia in large cities such as
the Federal Territory Mosque, Shah Alam State Mosque, the National Mosque and Putra Mosque, Putrajaya. The study
uses the methods of questionnaire and interview. The result shows visitors prefer to visit e-mosque in the domains of
religious reminder, pearl words and religious issues.
