Tabulation and Landscape Characters of Lenggong Valley’s Malay Traditional Houses

Lenggong Valley's Malay traditional houses, particularly the Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP) and Rumah Kutai (RK), are concentrated near caves and the Perak River, reflecting historical human settlement patterns from Paleolithic to Malay sultanate eras. A study of 108 houses using Kernel Density Analysis revealed that most retain vernacular or semi-vernacular architecture, underscoring their cultural significance. The landscape distribution supports Lenggong's potential as a Global Geopark by highlighting its unique heritage attributes. These findings provide critical data for conservation efforts and encourage further assessment of house conditions to strengthen preservation strategies.
