Abstract

The conservation of heritage villages in Malaysia seems to receive more attention from government and private organizations. However, the assessment guidelines are still unclear, and urban development tends to ignore these historical settlements. This study aims to assess Kampung Kubu, a historical settlement in Tanjung Malim, Perak, by discussing its potential as a heritage village. The study focuses on heritage significance based on the criteria used for heritage village assessment in other states. Descriptive data is obtained from reviews on historical documents and articles, field observation, and interviews with the village and local authority representatives. The findings showed that Kampung Kubu displays strong evidence in the historical aspect, based on the traditional houses, historical landmarks, weaponry, and proper documented historical records. Therefore, it is recommended for this village to be developed for heritage tourism to support its recognition as a heritage village as a part of the urban development.
