شهرنشینی پایدار در سمت غربی شهر تاریخی مالاکا

The paper discusses the implementation of conservation policies, how it helped to ensure the sustainability of the buildings in the area on the western side of Malacca River and the responses of the residents. It covers the historical background, the role of the local government and the responses of the residents. The methodology includes site observation, building study, literature review and interview. The findings of the research suggest that the buildings within the area were well sustained but the local residents also gave negative responses. Some strategies are needed to ensure the continuous use and sustainability of the buildings.
