Porta in Portuguese refers to portal, which means gateway and Porta de Santiago was indeed one of four main gateways into the Portuguese fortress of A Famosa. The leader of the Portuguese army that conquered Melaka in 1511, Alfonso de Albuquerque started the construction of A Famosa in 1512 from which fended of attacks by the armies of Sultan of Melaka and Aceh for well over a century. The Portuguese used slave labor to construct this squarish fort with 3 meters thick wall using parts from demolished palace royal Moslem and mosque. A 40-metre high watchtower once stood in the Northwest corner of this fortress. The Dutch company has used this fort as their headquarters in 1670. B. St. Paul’s Church This Church was originally a small chapel built by a Portuguese Captain called Duarto Coelho in 1521 A.D an called, ―Nosa Senhosa – Our Lady of Hill‖. A tower was added in 1590, when the Dutch took over Melaka from the Portuguese, and changed its name to St. Paul‘s Church. St. Paul‘s Church lost its tower when the British took over out and had one new feature added to it, the lighthouse at the front. C. Stadhuys and Ethnography Stadhuys was built 1650s as the official residence of Dutch Governors and their officers and the edifice is an example of Dutch architecture. Preserved in its original structure and form, it now houses the History Museum and Ethnography Museum. On display daily are traditional bridal costumes and relics from Melaka′s glorious past. D. Victoria Fountain The people of Melaka in memory of a Great Queen Victoria Regina erect this fountain in 1904. E. The Clock Tower This Clock Tower was given to the people of Melaka in 1886 by Mr Tan Jiak Kin to fulfill the wishes of his father. In 1982, Japan donated as a geture of goodwill, a new clock to the people of Melaka replace the original which is now exhibited at the Melaka Museum. F. Malaysia Youth Museum The museum is dedicated to the contribution made by youths in the country′s economic and social well being of the country. The noble efforts evident at regional, national and international levels are displayed at the museum. It was built in 1931. G.

H. Melaka Sultan Palace This replica of the original 15th century palace of Melaka′s extinct Sultan was based entirely on sketches found in the ancient Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals), the wooden replica houses the Cultural Museum of Melaka. Despite its complex structure of seven enclosed porches and sharply sloping roofs, not a single nail was used in its construction. I. Proclamation of Independence Memorial Built in 1912, this quaint old building now houses an exhibition that traces the history of the nation‘s conducted journey to independence. The former clubhouse of Melaka club now houses invaluable exhibits of the country′s struggle leading to the independence. J. Maritime Museum The original this museum is named Samudera Museum that was built as a suitable example of Portuguese ship to stop in Melaka habor in the 14th century i.e. ‗Flor De La Mar‘ ship.

Appendix 3.3 Outstanding Universal Value for Melaka and Penang

Melaka and George Town, Malaysia, are remarkable examples of historic colonial towns on the

Straits of Malacca that demonstrate a succession of historical and cultural influences arising

from their former function as trading ports linking East and West. These are the most complete

surviving historic city centres on the Straits of Malacca with a multi-cultural living heritage

originating from the trade routes from Great Britain and Europe through the Middle East, the

Indian subcontinent and the Malay Archipelago to China. Both towns bear testimony to a living

multi-cultural heritage and tradition of Asia, where the many religions and cultures met and

coexisted. They reflect the coming together of cultural elements from the Malay Archipelago,

India and China with those of Europe, to create a unique architecture, culture and townscape.

Criterion (ii): Melaka and George Town represent exceptional examples of multi-cultural trading

towns in East and Southeast Asia, forged from the mercantile and exchanges of Malay,

Chinese, and Indian cultures and three successive European colonial powers for almost 500

years, each with its imprints on the architecture and urban form, technology and monumental

art. Both towns show different stages of development and the successive changes over a long

span of time and are thus complementary.

Criterion (iii): Melaka and George Town are living testimony to the multi-cultural heritage and

tradition of Asia, and European colonial influences. This multi-cultural tangible and intangible

heritage is expressed in the great variety of religious buildings of different faiths, ethnic

quarters, the many languages, worship and religious festivals, dances, costumes, art and

music, food, and daily life.

Criterion (iv): Melaka and George Town reflect a mixture of influences which have created a

unique architecture, culture and townscape without parallel anywhere in East and South Asia.

In particular, they demonstrate an exceptional range of shop houses and townhouses. These

buildings show many different types and stages of development of the building type, some

originating in the Dutch or Portuguese periods.

The integrity of the nominated areas in both towns is related to the presence of all the elements

necessary to express their Outstanding Universal Value. The properties have retained their

authenticity; listed monuments and sites have been restored with appropriate treatments

348

regarding design, materials, methodologies, techniques and workmanship, in accordance with

conservation guidelines and principles.

The protective measures for the properties are adequate. Both towns exhibit a generally

acceptable state of conservation, although efforts are required to ensure the conservation of

shop houses. The management plans and structures are adequate, and can be enhanced

through the continuing conservation programs of the State Party.

Appendix 3.6 Newspaper Article of Ancient Burial Site Found at Malacca Fort

Ancient burial site found at Malacca Fort Human skeletal remains from the 15th century at World Heritage Site could hold clues to the region’s history

BIG FIND: After the excavation at the burial site at the Malacca Fort. An ancient burial site dating to the 15th century has been discovered at the Malacca Fort, in the historic Malaysian city of Malacca, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Centre for Archaeological Research Malaysia on Friday unveiled an initial analysis of the site, a press release said. Malacca was a strategic trading post for South-East Asia in the 15th and 16th century. The burial site is pre-Portuguese and could hold clues to the history of the region. In late May 2007, human skeletal remains were found during excavation undertaken to trace the walls of the ancient Malacca Fort known as Bastion Courassa (Portuguese) and Fredrick Hendrick (Dutch) by the Department of National Heritage; and the Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage, in the compound of a Tourist Police Station in Bandar Hilir. Further excavations until early September 2007 uncovered at least 10 human skeletons and hundreds of broken pieces of human bones. The removal, conservation and analysis of the remains were carried out by researchers from the Centre for Archaeological Research Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, with staff from the Department of National Heritage. Four of the better preserved and more complete skeletons were removed for further study. These were rather fragile and had to be conserved on-site as well as in the laboratory at the Centre for Archaeological Research. A tibia of one of the skeletons was sent for AMS dating in Florida. The results suggested a date between A.D. 1400 and 1450. Since the discovery in the Fort, an area of about 6 sq m was excavated to a maximum depth of 120 cm by the Department of National Heritage, revealing a burial site with more than 10 skeletons. It is believed to be part of a much larger burial site, as suggested by some of the unexcavated human skulls exposed at the site, as well as human bones found at the walls of the trenches. A large number of loose human bones, broken tiles, ceramics, animal bones, shells, and coins were found scattered, especially in the upper layer.

Observation of the finds and the soil profile suggested that the upper layer probably comprised backfill or ―tanah tambak‖ with broken tiles, ceramic shards, shells, coins and animal bones. All the intact skeletal remains appeared to have come from the burial ground, which is situated on the lower layer, 80 cm to120 cm deep. A preliminary on-site examination revealed that the four skeletons were laid in an extended position and placed in an east-west orientation with the head pointed west. Three of them were identified as those of males; one was of a female. The skeletons of a male and a female were together in a grave. Testing of the soil surrounding the first of the skeletons showed slightly alkaline soil. This must have helped preserve them for more than 600 years; acidic soil would have destroyed them. Malacca, locally known as Melaka, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list on July 7. Along with Georgetown, the historic cities of the Straits of Malacca have developed over 500 years of trading and cultural exchanges between East and West in the Straits of Malacca. The influences of Asia and Europe have lent the towns a specific multicultural heritage that is both tangible and intangible. With its government buildings, churches, squares and fortifications, Melaka demonstrates the early stages of this history originating in the 15th-century Malay sultanate and the Portuguese and Dutch periods beginning in the early 16th century.

Appendix 3.10 Forbidden City Starbucks Closes

Last Updated: Saturday, 14 July 2007, 06:26 GMT 07:26 UK

Forbidden City Starbucks closes A Starbucks coffee shop operating on the historic site of Beijing's Forbidden City has closed down after huge protests. An online campaign arguing that the shop was trampling on Chinese culture had drawn more than 500,000 signatures. The Starbucks branch was told it could stay open if it sold other brands but has declined. The Forbidden City was built in 1420 and was home to 24 emperors until the end of imperial rule in 1911. It attracted nearly nine million visitors last year, is China's top tourist attraction and a Unesco World Heritage site. Seattle-based Starbucks said the decision was "very congenial" and it respected the site's motives. Starbucks's vice-president for Greater China Eden Woon said: "There were several choices, one of which was to continue, but it would not carry the Starbucks name any more. "We decided at the end that it is not our custom worldwide to have stores that have any other name, so therefore we decided the choice would be to leave." 'Solemnity undermined' Starbucks, which has nearly 200 outlets in China, opened the Forbidden City shop seven years ago and removed its brand sign two years ago to address cultural sensitivities. But the shop continued to draw protests. China state TV personality Rui Chenggang led the online campaign, saying the shop's presence "undermined the solemnity of the Forbidden City and trampled on Chinese culture". The palace is undergoing restoration that includes toning down the commercial aspect. The number of shops has already more than halved.

The Starbucks outlet has been in the Forbidden City since 2000

Appendix 5.1: Newspaper Articles about the demolition of Heritage Shophouses in Melaka

Heritage demolition: Owner will have to give up property by Sharanjit Singh, The Star, 2002 MALACCA, Dec 18: The Singaporean owners of the three heritage shophouses in Jonker Walk here which were demolished to make way for a hotel will have to relinquish the property to the State Government. They will also face charges framed by the Malacca Municipal Council for contravening the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 by undertaking renovation work without approval. The offence carries a maximum fine of RM500,000 or two years' jail or both. The Museum and Antiquities Department will also charge them with demolishing buildings listed under the Preservation and Conservation of Cultural Heritage Enactment 1988. They are liable to a maximum fine of RM10,000 or five years' jail or both on this charge. Jonker Walk preservation committee chairman Datuk Gan Boon Leong today identified one of the owners as Yap Hock Soon. The council is in the process of identifying the others. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said action was being taken to send home the message that heritage buildings could not be damaged in any way. "I hope the courts will impose the maximum sentence on the culprits." Ali said the owners of the demolished buildings had attempted to commit a similar offence two years ago. It is learnt they attempted to renovate the shophouses without approval but had to stop after the authorities issued a stop-work order. "These Singaporeans don't seem to take our laws seriously. They are very law-abiding in their own country but they treat our laws as a joke when they are here," Ali said after chairing the weekly State Executive Council meeting at Seri Negeri today. He said the demolition of the shophouses was among the issues discussed. Ali later visited the site of the demolished shophouses.

369

He said the State Government planned to build a museum at the site after the land was acquired under the Land Acquisition Act 1960. On compensation, he said: "I don't think it will amount to much. However, we will see after the evaluation is carried out." Malacca Municipal Council president Datuk Mat Sirat Abu said the owners submitted an application to renovate their property some time ago. The council, however, did not approve the application, he added. "We were shocked to find the buildings demolished. Our investigations show the buildings were demolished about 2am on Sunday. This just goes to show the owners did it so early in the morning to avoid attention," he said. Mat Sirat said the council's Legal Department was preparing charges against the Singaporeans. Meanwhile, Gan, who is also the Duyung State Assemblyman, said he had earlier directed one of Yap's representatives to clean up the shophouses as they had trees and shrubs growing inside. "I confronted the man after the buildings were demolished but he claimed that he was not aware about what had happened. He claimed the contractors were responsible and he had nothing to do with it. However, I find this totally unacceptable." Gan said Yap was staying in Singapore and only came here occasionally. He said buildings next to the shophouses had also suffered damage due to the demolition. "The roofs have been damaged and are now leaking. The owners have complained and I informed the Singaporean about the matter. He has since agreed to fix the damage," he added.

370

It’s too late now By Badrolhisham Bidin, Eddie Chua And Azman Abdul Ghani, The Malay Mail Press: Thu, 19 Dec 2002 A CONSERVATION architect had submitted several reports to Unesco, calling for an immediate halt to demolition of heritage buldings within the Malacca Conservation Zone. Elizabeth Vines, of Australia, was tasked with monitoring what had been done in Malacca, and gave her views on what needed to be undertaken in future. That was during her visit on Feb 14-17 last year. Vines was dismayed and disappointed when informed that on Sunday, four old shophouses were demolished at Jonker Walk in Malacca. Speaking to The Malay Mail from North Australia yesterday, she said: "If such demolitions continue, it is due to an inadequate planning protection framework. "A good framework will ensure the retention of the heritage significance of the area. Once a place is demolished, it is not possible to reclaim the value it once had," she said. "World Heritage listings require a planning framework which protects the significance of the place." But Malacca Municipal Council president Datuk Mat Sirat Abu said Vines' services were terminated sometime ago as "her reports were lopsided". "We don't need her to get involved in this. Her reports were unfair and did injustice to the Malacca Government and the council," he said yesterday. Mat Sirat said the laws clearly stated that the authorities' consent must be obtained for any work on heritage-designated shophouses. However, it seemed that the owners were bent on demolishing the buildings and carried out the work in the early morning. "If they (the owners) think they can get away with it, think again. We are a cquiring the land and they will be compensated accordingly," said Mat Sirat. The Singaporean owners are expected to face two charges under the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 and the Cultural Heritage Enactment 1988. Mat Sirat said the Malacca Government would submit the application to include Jonker Walk in the World Heritage list in February 2003. "That demolition will not affect our chances," he said.

Asked if other owners were waiting for the opportunity to flatten their buildings, Mat Sirat said no one would dare as they might lose their land if they did. "We do not have to guard any place round-the-clock. The laws are sufficient to deter such occurrences," said Mat Sirat. He said renovations could be carried out on such buildings if the rules and regulations are adhered to. Criticisms have been levelled at the Malacca Government's conservation programmes, particularly the changing facade and outlook of Jonker Street. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the Singaporeans did not take Malaysian laws seriously.

Gone in a few hours Thu, 19 Dec 2002 CAN four buildings be demolished within a few hours? And weren't the owners interested in salvaging antiques in and around the houses before sending in the wrecking crew? These were two of several questions posed by a local conservation expert. He is sure that window frames, tiles and knick-knacks would have found their way to antique shops neighbouring the four shoplots by now. "Such items are priceless and I am sure the owners would want to make a quick profit from that," he said. And if the demolition work started much earlier, the authorities or the neighbours would have known about it. He said Jonker Walk is right in the middle of Malacca town and is not in the middle of nowhere. "Why didn't the authorities detect the suspicious goings-on at the site?" asked the expert. UNESCO conservation expert Elizabeth Vines was on a monitoring visit to Malacca on Feb 14-17 last year, when she stressed on a lack of focus in conservation efforts in Malacca. Using Jonker Walk as an example, she had said the area, rich in cultural intricacies, was at a vulnerable state.

372

"The whole neighbourhood is at a crossroads of sort where the social fabric is at risk with a pull of commercialisation." Vines had also spoken on the need for appropriate usage in such areas marked for conservation which should not cater too much to the tourist, to the detriment of those living there. The revenue from tourism, she said, should be used to make conservation effort a self-sustaining exercise. "It could be some form of economic incentive to encourage people to move back in and stay there," she said. She visited Malacca again in October last year and said that failure to conserve local heritage could jeopardise Malacca's bid to be listed in Unesco's world heritage bid for 2002.

Singaporean owners demolish heritage shophouses DEC 19, 2002 THE Singaporean owners had applied only to renovate the shophouses, said the authorities in Malacca. But at midnight on Sunday, four heritage shophouses there were demolished by their owners. The state authorities are 'shocked' and 'outraged'. And determined to sue them. The Jonker Walk shophouses - located in the heritage buffer zone, popular with antique-hunting tourists - were listed as heritage buildings and can be renovated only on approval from the authorities in Malacca, including the Museum and Antiquities Department. It is learnt the owners demolished the buildings to build a hotel in the site. Malacca's chief minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said he was furious and directed that an immediate stop-work order be issued to the owners, reported the New Straits Times. He said the owners should have at least maintained the facades of the buildings. He said: 'I am disappointed, but rest assured they will be taken to court for what they have done. They have to learn to respect our laws.' Meanwhile, State Housing, Local Government and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Poh Ah Tiam said the owners had been issued a compound notice for demolishing buildings without approval.

373

He added the authorities will push for the owners to pay the maximum penalty of RM10,000 ($4,600) for the offence. 'NOTHING NEW' However, Malacca DAP Wanita chief Betty Chew said: 'This latest case of an old building being demolished is nothing new as six shophouses in Jalan Temenggong were demolished in May.' She added that the demolition of the buildings would have a negative impact on Malacca's bid to be listed as a World Heritage Site. She said the case showed that the local authorities were not serious in preserving old buildings. She added: 'It is about time a professional was appointed to manage the preservation of heritage buildings in Malacca.'

Appendix 5.2 Newspaper Article about the demolition of Pudu Jail

Published: Sunday June 20, 2010 MYT 5:51:00 PM

Pudu jail wall to be demolished Monday

KUALA LUMPUR: When the clock strikes 10pm on Monday, the 394-metre stretch of Pudu Jail

wall fronting Jalan Pudu will be demolished after having served its purpose for the past 100

years. The wall goes down to accommodate the widening of the busy road that fronts it.

Construction on the 4.5 metre wall, also known as Pudu Goal, started in 1891 on Jalan Hang

Tuah and it was fully completed in 1895 at a cost of RM15,360.90.

The wall, which had once set a record for the longest mural in the world (384 metres), now has

no meaning as it stands amidst flourishing development in the Bukit Bintang Golden Triangle.

The prison itself stopped operating in 1996 and prisoners were shifted to the Sungai Buloh

Prison, 36km from here, after the building could no longer cater to the high volume of up to

6,550 people at a time since 1985.

The memories linked to the historic landmark will remain part of the country's history even after

the wall is torn down, a move proposed by Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad

Ismail, which aimed to ease traffic congestion in the area through a road-widening project

including the construction of an underpass.

A check by Bernama revealed soil levelling works on the prison premises completed and

awaiting demolition of the wall Monday night, which has received negative reaction from those

who know the building's historical value and uniqueness.

Prabu Munusamy, 32, expressed his disappointment on the move saying the prison complex

could be a valuable tourist attraction.He said although the building had housed criminals, it

should be preserved for its own unique values. "This prison has even held several prominent

convicts and, until today, the public still come by to see and take photos there," he said.

Fifty-two-year-old Chew Chong Huai said he was saddened to know a building with such

historical value, which should be made a heritage site, would be torn down. "In other countries,

375

like China for example, historical buildings would be kept and preserved as tourist attractions,"

he said.

Irwan Hashim, 32, also disagreed with the move to demolish the prison complex and wall,

saying the city was already congested with development.

"Enough with these developments. Kuala Lumpur is packed with buildings, shopping

complexes and such, so let's not destroy whatever is left of our heritage," he said.

Meanwhile, a tourist from the Philippines, 49-year-old Farancisco B. Lopez said the Pudu

Prison should be preserved for tourism purposes like the Alcatraz prison in California, United

States. "It's a waste and pointless. I was told that this building is one of the historical sites in

Malaysia because it was built in the 1800s during the British colonial era, he added. - Bernama

Appendix 5.3 Newspaper Article about the demolition of Bok House

Comment: Bok House demolition: Ministry's reasons puzzling

By Elizabeth Cardosa 18 December, 2006

THE Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage was reported as saying that Bok House was not registered as a heritage building, which appears to suggest his ministry does not have the force of law to gazette privately owned buildings. Legal counsel to Badan Warisan Malaysia, however, has offered the opinion that under the National Heritage Act 2005 (NHA), the process of listing a building as heritage is within the minister‘s purview; it does not make exceptions for privately owned buildings. In the tradition of law as I understand it, those responsible for ensuring the law is implemented will exhaust all avenues before giving up. In this instance, the first step was not actually taken — that is, gazetting Bok House as a heritage building. The process to gazette does not even appear to have been started, despite the nomination with due justification presented by Badan Warisan to the minister on April 12.

Both the minister and the Heritage Commissioner refer to the high cost of conservation of the building as one of the reasons why the building was not gazetted. I would be interested to know where it is in law which compels the ministry to examine the issue of the cost of conservation.

377

If this is one of the criteria for gazetting, how do you cost the price of heritage — purely in ringgit and sen? What of the intrinsic value of the building? Is it logical not to list Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara as heritage buildings because the cost for conservation will run into tens of millions of ringgit? Badan Warisan has examined heritage conservation laws in many other countries, and I would challenge anyone to find that the cost of conservation features as a criteria for listing. While the Heritage Commissioner appears to acknowledge Bok House as a landmark building, she says that it does not qualify as heritage under the criteria listed under the law. Regardless of the comprehensive case which Badan Warisan put forward, how then is it that in the 1984 Draft Structure Plan of Kuala Lumpur, Bok House was identified as a heritage building which was proposed for gazetting? The building has been on the list of heritage buildings of Jabatan Muzium Negara since at least the early 1980s. It has only been in the past year that its heritage significance appears to have been disregarded. The commissioner also said that Bok House did not qualify as national heritage according to the criteria in the NHA. Section 67 of the law provides a list of criteria — including architectural, historical, social and engineering significance. What other criteria are there? Clearly, the owner of a private property has the right to object to gazetting, but this is part of the due process. I cannot express strongly enough that this process did not even get to first base. I am also puzzled by the commissioner‘s comment that high conservation costs caused restoration work to be called off — there is no evidence to suggest that actual conservation work had started. As for the issue of the structure being unstable and cracks to the building having been caused by piling works on adjoining sites — buildings in a worse state of conservation have been restored. Take the Gedung Raja Abdullah in Klang, for example, which was in an equally bad state of conservation, having suffered the indignation of dilapidation as described in Bok House. It was restored within the reasonable bounds of financing. When in 1997, the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Penang had cracks all over the building when the hotel on the adjoining site started piling works, a stop-work order was issued by the local council, and the mansion is now fully restored again. So, is there other criteria for listing the state of conservation, or conversely, the state of dilapidation of a building? Who are the experts who will make this evaluation?

378

The Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage is the ultimate custodian of our nation‘s heritage. It should be at the forefront of the battle to protect our heritage. The fact that Bok House has been allowed to be so brutally hacked and butchered so there is nothing but rubble left, brings into question the credibility of this custodianship. This throws up the next question; to quote the learned Datuk Dr Khoo Kay Kim — that the government should look into the NHA before the nation loses more buildings. All privately owned buildings are now under threat. The public has a right to know what steps are going to be taken to overcome the lack of "teeth" in the law. This event has set a precedent for all local authorities in Peninsular Malaysia — what if they all decide that expediency is central to the decision to protect or to demolish and redevelop our heritage buildings and sites in the country? At 5pm yesterday, the demolition of Bok House was completed. At the same time, the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage was midway in conducting their inaugural course on the technical aspects of conserving heritage buildings to a group of at least 40 contractors and other conservation "experts". The writer is executive director of Badan Warisan Malaysia.

Appendix 6.1 Summary of Interview from Local Government Personnel

Interview with officer from Melaka Tourism Department

Q: what do you know about heritage/heritage trail? A: We don't have specific planning for specific area especially this city. Our planning is more general in order to generate more activities related tourism. We do published a lot of information pack to the tourist about attraction in this city however it‘s depends on tourist either their want to visit those premises or not. Local resident should take aggressive approach to lure tourist to their property.

Q: What do you know about heritage? A: Heritage is a very subjective definition. It depends on what perspective you are looking for heritage terms. In tourism perspective, heritage is a potential market for tourism industry. Tourists are more specific/fussy about the product, there are looking in terms of quality of the heritage assets or something in more authentic. In order to put this perspective in our events or activities. We need to select/choose a genuine characteristic or criteria that represent heritage identity because we don't want to show sometime that can destroy the identity of this city.

Q: Describe local community involvement in heritage management and tourism activities A: Local community involvement is not too important in heritage management but their involvement in conservation effort is more important because it could give more benefit to them if their conserve their property in much better.

Q: Opportunities for local community involvement in heritage management and tourism activities A: Although there are opportunities in business among local resident. But there is business segmentation among ethnic in this city. For example, most of Chinese ethnic selling art and antique stuff, while Malay ethnic selling local handy craft and food and beverages. Actually, there are plenty of benefits can be received by local resident from this WHS‘s status. They need to be creative and think ‗outside the box‘ to utilise the opportunity. We can give a guideline and additional programme for them to come out with brilliant ideas. For example, we did try to encourage the local communities to participate in our training guide courses. But the problem that we faced was there were very few young people in this city. Most of them were in the 50s and 60s. Perhaps this opportunity is not in the right age group that we expected. There are plenty of job opportunities that reflected from this status for example in accommodation sector, food and beverage sector and many more. So it‘s not necessarily they need to involve in management aspect to received opportunities and benefits. I believe that without the community, there will not be tourism and heritage protection. If the local community realise the significance of their local heritage, they will love it and want to protect it. At present, there are several communities that transfer the local knowledge through old people in their own communities, which lead to the conservation of cultural heritage. all in all, it must start with educating local community.

Q: What do you think about heritage trail contribution for local resident awareness in heritage conservation? A: In the first place, I think this approach is good because it can be used to educate visitor about heritage elements and local residents‘ culture. For example, not many of tourist know about the unique of house at no. 8 at Heeren Street which had a restoration work by Heritage of Malaysia Trust to bring the originality of a typical modest residential structure built during Dutch occupation of Malacca (1641-1824) Currently its being used as a heritage preservation information centre.

Q: Limitation to community involvement in Heritage management A: Receiving an idea from local resident is very time consuming and sometimes we are struggling with deadlines. Therefore, decision making need to be made fast and accurately. Most local resident is this city is likely to concentrate with passive business like selling local handcraft, food and beverages and trishaw (which has created a stress/tight competition). There are very little local residents are willing to take a step ahead to utilise the tourist opportunities by conducting a huge/massive business like tour agency, which is more dominated by outsider provider. I believe if they are willing to involve in this business, we are delighted to give them a proper guideline. But the major obstacle for them is lack of capital funding.

Q: Local community involvement in planning process. How do they engage with it? A: local residents are not capable to make decision because they are not decision-makers

Q: In decision making - how does community mechanism operate? A: There are not many community representatives come and see us to ask about available opportunity or suggesting something that can increase the economic income (locally). This is because they don't know about our role specifically. They thought that we work under MBMB, therefore the frequently ask MBMB about tourism matters.

Q: Describe Tourism planning in Melaka A: Melaka has started to robust its image when it was launched by Prime Minister in with a tagline.. ‗Visit Melaka means visit Malaysia‘. I think that is the official beginning of tourism in Melaka. Because we are the first pioneer of tourism industry in this country. We always worked hard to make sure that we are capable to show a good model for other states in Malaysia. Most of our tourism planning in this city is carefully plan. First because we have a limited resources and space and second, this sector is the primary income for this state. Therefore, we must make sure everything is well planed and managed. Currently all major attractions and events are conducted by Melaka cooperation and associate with Melaka‘s tourism.

381

Interview with officer from Melaka City Council (Conservation Unit) Q: what do you know about heritage/heritage trail? A: The conservation work for this city has been divided into zones. Heritage management is a system that could guide us to balance between the needs and wants - cost & benefits. You can adapt this perspective on tourism and heritage management as well. Most of officers from this department are new generation recruit, therefore, there are not very knowledgeable about previous Melaka heritage trail due it‘s not longer operated (active). Although they aware about this trail because of existing trail signage still at trail attraction, most of them are not really know where exactly this trail will lead (layout of the trail) to next attractions. For us (government) this trail is not longer significant because it only concentrate on selected attraction while most of this city shows more than those attractions. Its means that all city streets are heritage trail literally.

Q: what do you know about heritage? A: Since the city has been nominated as WHS. We are very particular about development and management of this city. In order to do that we have to work backwards to ensure we are following the guidelines have been provided.

Q: Describe local community involvement in heritage management & tourism activities A: The incident that happen in 2002 (three shop-houses were demolished). The evident that this community is not bonding together as a big community. This is a compact city you can hear and see what happen to next street row clearly every day. This incident has shown the community are not communicating with each other.

Q: Opportunities for local community involvement in HM & tourism activities A: Yes, we can know exactly what they really wanted their city to be treated. But we unable to take all the opinions for management aspect because we are strictly to follow the guidelines. However, we can be flexible with few things. The intention for nominate this city as UNESCO WHS has involve multiple stakeholders and it took a very long process. We do consider local community a lot because they have been living here from many generations. Therefore, there are suppose no argument on why we decided to nominate this city and they should think on how they can benefit from this WHS status not how the status can benefit from them.

Q: Why conservation work did not received support from local community? A: We have tried to approach local residents especially property owners but most of them are thinking that this activity does not give any benefits for them. In regards with this issue, I would say this is due to lack of appreciation from them. However, not many of them are like that. Mostly the lack of appreciation comes to the subject of ownership changes. For example, some of properties are already been sold to foreigners particularly to Singaporean and Taiwanese. Therefore, the change of ownership particularly not from Malaysian people are the causes to the absent of place attachment identity.

Q: What problems have been faced by your institution in conservation effort in regard with local involvement? A: Currently, there are very little property owners asking our expertise about conservation their property. The issues that always become an obstacle or limitation to do the conservation work are limited of local craftsmanship and shortage of original materials (which is very rare and not in production anymore.

Q: Does the previous heritage trail was involving local community? A: As I know, this project is fully funded by private agency which is one of the policy is to contribute something for city identity as part of their social awareness or responsibility programme. The agency that responsible for this development is Malaysia Heritage Trust in 1999.

Q: Limitation to community involvement in Heritage management A: Management in heritage is too complicated and it needs a wider knowledge to make a right decision. however, we do take several critical issue into consideration (regarding community livelihood) We did not see bottom up approach is suitable at this moment because currently we are working backwards. Apart from labour and material costs, most of the owners choose to use other material for maintenance and consequently change the originality of the building dramatically. Therefore to ensure these owners are following our requirement, the Malacca Enactment needs to be repealed according to current situation for future of heritage monuments/ It is a slow process if we wait for local residents to come up with their own idea. (Although, the participatory approach is viewed as a slow process, but most of government officers do not look at it negatively.) Local residents are not involved in decision making and management aspects. But we do take their opinion and suggestion as a consideration during decision making. Literally they don‘t make a decision; this is because the complexity of the administration system.

Q: Local community involvement in planning process. How do they engage with it? A: Yes, we do receive a lot of their feedback and opinions but we are too limited to take their views into consideration due to legislation is not flexible. What we can do (take their view as consideration) is through consultation only. We all aware that the top-down approach is the dominant planning practise in Malaysia. The government has been designed to work in fix framework system by the national agenda, for example, RMK, vision 2020, five-year development plan, structure and local plans. I think everyone know how our government system works. It starts with at federal level and going down through regional and state levels.

382

Q: In decision making - how does community mechanism operate? A: We can‘t invite every person in our meeting but we have invited a community representative to our meeting to hear and receive feedback from their community about related issues. Therefore, we will leave the information to be spread among their community for every decision making has been made or any action has been taken. It depends on community representative to distribute the information. The representative becomes as the eyes and ears of the government at grass root level Community representative has been chosen by government. This is based on our criteria. We need to choose the right person correctly because there are multi-nationalities in this city and we need to choose the right person from each community.

Q: How to overcome the limitation to increase community participation in planning and management? A: We had try our best to involve local participation but the numbers of people involve is still low. For example, we *draft the plan for public to make comments or suggestions, only few of them shows their interest while the others seldom to give any feedback perhaps they think the plan didn‘t benefit them.

Interview with officer from Melaka Museum Cooperation (PERZIM) Q: what do you know about heritage/heritage trail? A: We are particularly involved in heritage trail development but we do help the organisation (American Express company and National Heritage trust) by providing the written material for their information. We have a lot of publications (scientific research) about Melaka‘s history. However, most of these written materials are for sale. We do have all the collections in our library but the accessibility is quite restricted and user needs to write a letter to ask permission from PERZIM director. As I said before, our department is not directly involved with tourist but we do have partnership with related agencies for example tourism department and Melaka‘s city council.

Q: what do you know about heritage? A: Due to this (definition of heritage as a conservation work) we are very sensitive about heritage abuse especially on old shop-house. We do allow the modification for the interior but it still comes with strict guidelines.

Q: Describe local community involvement in heritage management & tourism activities A: Reflect from shop-houses demolish: Most of local residents in this city are not well bonding/working in harmony environment. This is because there are too many foreigners have owned property here. In order to avoid the heritage abuse. We are trying to work out with aggressive enforcement for those who stubborn.

Q: Opportunities for local community involvement in HM & tourism activities A: When we decide to nominate this city, several local residents think that we are trying to put our power on their own property. Actually we are trying to conserve their property and their cultural identity and they should thank to us because of this initiative. But it‘s only few of them that are too cynical about this matter. We do take all their consideration and do a lot of programme to disseminate information about our nomination intention and we received a lot of good feedback actually.

Q: Limitation to community involvement in Heritage management A: This city is too fragile due to its value to let local resident plan for their city. Moreover, they need to take consideration to balance between conservation and tourism which is most of local people not expertise about this principle. The planning process involve multidisciplinary in terms of jurisdiction of paperwork and dealing with others agencies. Therefore, we think local participatory for planning process is too complicated for local community. Although we are struggling with limited funding for conservation work but we do have an expert on building conservation. Currently we are encouraging the owners of heritage buildings to do their part (maintenance) while expertise members will provide the guideline for the maintenance. However, some of the owners are reluctance to take part in preservation because this is very costly and lack of manpower to do the artistic work. We do help the owners on facade of the buildings but the interior must be maintained by the owners Enforcement: we will used this approach for a last option if the owner still reluctant to follow our guidelines

Q: Local community involvement in planning process. How do they engage with it? A: Sometimes what they said is more on economic contribution for them self. There is very rare opinion from local resident about conservation matters.

Q: In decision making - how does community mechanism operate? A: Sometimes we heard a lot of issues from community representative because he/she doesn‘t bring the issues have been agreed during their community meeting but he/she bring up the issue that related with personal interest only.

Q: How to overcome the limitation to increase community participation in planning and management? A: Most of local residents are unsure about their responsibility because they do not understand the planning process.

383

Interview with officer from Melaka City Council (Urban landscape Unit) Q: what do you know about heritage/heritage trail A: Our department is not directly involved with local resident but we do involve with related agencies such as tourism department for beautification for specific events and tourism themes.

Q: what do you know about heritage? A: Heritage can be seen from numerous evident such as colonial buildings and monuments. This evident also can be seen from civilization movement and physically through local people cultural and tradition

Q: Do you think by developing heritage trail in this city it is capable to educate local resident about conservation and preservation and does it educate tourist as well? A: There was a Melaka heritage trail before but this trail is not in full capacity to assist tourist due the information about this trail is no more available at any tourist centre or tourist accommodations. The reason that it can‘t sustain it existing is because there are no collaboration was taken during the development of this trail with related agencies in this city. In regards to conservation effort and tourism demand, we can still use the existing layout by re-branding this product to be more sensitive with the heritage environment. Moreover the trail should in-line with chronological history of this city (in order to make it effective) in terms of touristic product. While, from resident point of view. This people should be encourage to represent their own or unique identity to make sure this product is well known with community cultural blending together.

Q: Limitation to community involvement in Heritage management A: There are attitude and perceptions issues about these limitations. Most of local residents have a negative attitude and perceptions about our efforts. They thought we are trying to take their property.

Appendix 6.2 Malaysia Hungry Ghost Festival

How’s the Ghost Festival celebrated?

This festival is also widely known as ―Poh Toh‖ in Hokkien and ―Yu Lan‖ in Mandarin. In Malaysia, Melaka; it is celebrated by erecting temporary stage beside the temples, housing or business areas for the entertainment and prayers purposes. It‘s easy to know the arrival of the seventh month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Just look out for the paper effigy of the Da Shi Ye (God of Hades) along Jalan Tokong. Don‘t be surprise to encounter a 7 feet tall Da Shi Ye along the shophouse walkway in Melaka Chinatown! Aside from that, striking coloured flags with jagged edges and giant sized incenses sticks along or nearby the temporary stage or tent also announces the arrival of the celebration. Wondered of the functions of the flags? These flags; put up along the road leading to the stage/tents several days before the celebration start have two purposes. First is for the ghost to follow the flags to reach the Hungry Ghost celebrations and secondly as the landmark for worshippers to locate the tents. Isn’t it interesting? The first day of ―Poh Toh‖ celebration involves prayers to invite the God of Hades to descend to the living world. This is when the covered eyes of the effigy were removed. During that day, you could observe Taoist and Buddhist praying ritual. These ritual are performed to absolve the dead from suffering. Aside from that, incense sticks, joss paper, food, paper apparel and other items are also offered to the souls. Most believe by doing so, they could sail through the time ahead peacefully. After performing the last rites (2 to 3 days later), the effigy of the God of Hades, together with his horse, ship, mansion, paper apparel, hell notes, gold and silver mountains or bridges and other items are burnt to return the word back to where he came from. The celebration was officially ended with a charity dinner to be held the next evening.

Appendix 7.1 Extract from the Malacca Enactment No. 6 1988

Purpose and Interpretations

An Enactment to make provisions for the preservation, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage and matters incidental thereto. It may be also called as the Preservation and Conservation of Cultural Heritage Enactment 1988.

A committee, known as the Preservation and Conservation Committee, shall be established by the State Authority in order to advise on matters of policy, administration and management of cultural heritage and conservation areas. This Committee is chaired by the Chief Minister of State.

The Enactment requires clarification of common terminologies used in preservation and conservation of cultural heritage.

"Adaptation" means a process of modifying a cultural heritage or a conservation area to suit a proposed compatible use.

"Conservation" defines a process of looking after a cultural heritage or a conservation area so as to retain its significance; and this includes maintenance, preservation, restoration, reconstruction, adaptation or a combination of two or more of these.

"Cultural heritage" includes any antiquity, historical object, historical site, fabric, building, structure, work of art, manuscript, coin, vehicle, ship or tree which has a significant and special architectural, aesthetic, historical, cultural, scientific, economic interest or value.

"Maintenance" means a continuous protection and care of a cultural heritage or a conservation area as distinguished from repair which may involve restoration or construction.

"Preservation" is a process of maintaining a cultural heritage or a conservation area in its existing state or form.

"Reconstruction" means a process of returning a cultural heritage or a conservation area as nearly as possible to an earlier known state by the introduction of old or new materials.

"Restoration" means a process of returning the existing cultural heritage or a conservation area to an earlier known state by removing accretion or by reassembling the existing repairs without the introduction of new materials.

Declaration of Cultural Heritage

The State Authority may on the recommendation of the Local Authority and advise of the Committee declare any cultural heritage which is desirable to be preserved or conserved, and also may designate an area within such heritage is located as a conservation area.

Any person who owns any cultural heritage which has not been declared may apply in a prescribed form to the Local Authority within which the heritage is located for such declaration. Upon processing the application, the Local Authority, however, shall notify the owner that his heritage or area is subjected to preservation or conservation.

405

Any cultural heritage which has been declared to be preserved or conserved shall be inspected at all reasonable times by an officer authorised by the Local Authority.

Restriction of Planning Permission

Planning permission shall be obtained from the Local Authority prior to any demolition, alteration, reconstruction, renovation, modification and repair of any required for erecting any building or structure, destroying any trees, digging, quarrying, irrigating or disturbing the landscaping in such area.

The Local Authority may impose conditions with respect to the reconstruction of a building or any part of it with the use of original material so far as practicable. Any alteration to the interior of the building may also be specified in the permission.

Repair of Historic Building

Whenever a building is declared to be preserved or conserved and is in need of urgent repair, the Local Authority may make arrangement with the owner or occupier for the repair to be executed and also for making contribution towards the cost. This also implies to any building of which has not been declared but is located in a conservation area (so as to maintain the harmonious character or appearance of the area).

A fund known as Preservation and Conservation Fund shall be established by the State Authority to maintain, preserve, conserve, and acquire any cultural heritage or conservation area. The Fund shall also be expended for carrying out activities including publication, exhibition and campaign for the protection of the cultural heritage.

Financial Incentives and Tax Relief

Any person who owns a cultural heritage or conservation area declared for preservation or conservation may apply to the State Authority for financial assistance which includes grant, aid, loan, reduction of rates and rent; also a tax relief in respect to the revenue earned.

Penalty

Any person who contrivances any provision of this Enactment shall be guilty and be liable on conviction to a maximum fine of MR 10,000 (Malaysian Ringgit) or five years imprisonment or both.

Appendix 7.5 A result-data from Bricker and Kerstetter (2000)

Article review Level of Specialization and Place Attachment: An Exploratory Study of Whitewater

Recreationists (pp. 246 – 247)

Level of Specialization and Place Attachment

―To identify whether whitewater recreationists (rafters and kayakers) differed in their response

to the place attachment dimensions, we performed two types of procedures. First, to account

for the multidimensionality of the dependent variable, place attachment, a series of multivariate

analyses of variance were conducted. The results indicated that level of specialization (i.e .,

level of experience, skill level and ability, centrality to lifestyle, enduring involvement, and

equipment and economic investment) was significantly related to at least one of the place

attachment dimensions (i.e ., place identity, place dependence, or lifestyle). Owing to the fact

that there were three independent variables that jointly defined the comparison groups, a series

of three –way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were used.

The first set of analyses, 3 X 2 X 3 (Skill Level X Whitewater Recreationist X Type of Trip)

between –subjects ANOVAs, revealed a significant main effect for the specialization fact or,

skill level (Table 7). No significant interactions were found. Post hoc comparisons with the

Scheff´e test revealed significant differences in response to all three place attachment

dimensions. More specifically, individuals with low skill levels were significantly less likely to

agree with the place identity dimension than were individuals with medium or high skill levels,

F=80.02, p<.001, df =2. A similar pattern held true with the lifestyle dimension, F=16.88,

p<.001, df =2. Individuals with low skill levels, however, were significantly more likely than

individuals with high skill levels to agree with the place dependence dimension,

F=17.67,p<.001, df =2.‖
