Abstract

Cultural heritage landscapes present historical and cultural civilization signs and legacies in their environment. These landscapes are also considered necessary incentives to attract tourists. Cultural heritage conservation provides tools for reaching suitable solutions for sustainable development based on tourism. Subsequently, the significance of societal identity and way of life in the past was crucial to explaining the current cultural and social dynamic. Determining the value of heritage is especially important to plan the form of its protection, conservation, and contemporary use. The study aimed to assess and evaluate cultural heritage landscape conservation in sustainable spatial settings. This study used qualitative methods by field measurement/survey interview and site observation. The findings revealed that the cultural heritage landscape value presents historical and cultural civilization signs and legacies in the environment and landscape of the sustainable spatial setting of Kuala Kubu Bharu. This study hopes to help local authorities and related agencies restructure baseline data in planning for sustainable spatial settings and appropriately develop and maintain their historical values and natural ecosystem.
