Summary
A robust interdependency exists between tangible and intangible cultural heritage assets in the Old Quarter of Melaka, necessitating their parallel development for effective safeguarding. This study leverages the Cultural Resource Framework to identify and document these assets through a comprehensive database, offering a scalable approach applicable to complex urban historic sites like UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The framework's dual focus on people, place, and history provides a nuanced understanding of cultural heritage dynamics, bridging gaps in preservation strategies.
