Heritage upholds high values in a society. Arts and culture passed down by the previous generations have a significant influence on the identity formation of a particular race. In Terengganu, much of its heritage and relics left by its ancestors were abandoned and forgotten by modernization. The impact of globalization is feared to sink local heritage if it is not well taken care of and lack of sustainable actions to maintain these heritages. Generally, heritage can be classified into two categories; tangible heritage and intangible heritage. Tangible heritage can be further divided into two – static and mobile. Historical landmarks, monuments, buildings, tombs and mines are some examples of static tangible heritage and possess their values in the identity formation of the local citizens. In order to preserve the tangible heritage assets in Terengganu, integrated and proactive solutions need to be taken by various parties by taking into account all the factors that would form a sustainable model that can be referred to as means to preserve the heritage. This study employs a mixed methodology approach; qualitative method and supported quantitative method. The researchers have conducted a few series of in-depth interviews with respondents identified to be able to provide the necessary information, then widened further to the sample population through instruments of questionnaires in certain locations with tangible heritage. Several locations identified were Bandar Bukit Besi, Bukit Tebuk in Dungun, Pura Tanjung Sabtu and Duyong Island in Kuala Terengganu. Research data were then analyzed using Nvivo software for qualitative data and SPSS software in descriptive design to support the findings of the research. This study would make a huge impact on society, particularly on the aspects of tangible heritage preservation, to ensure that they can be inherited by the younger generations to maintain their strong identity as local citizens.

Due to rapid urbanization, many of the historical buildings are losing their identity and the cultural values associated with them. India is no exception. There is rapid urbanization around the Kalan Masjid which is a historical mosque in Old Delhi, India. There are extensive encroachments near the historical mosque, which is located in the midst of a complex series of residential buildings. Unfortunately, some of these buildings have encroached on the mosque's land, resulting in its deterioration. Therefore, there is a need for proper guidelines to regulate these encroachments to prevent the destruction of the structure amidst the urban sprawl.This paper investigates the effects of rapid urbanization on the Kalan Masjid in Old Delhi, India. It engages a literature study and site visits to ascertain the site-specific conditions and a context study to identify urban morphology and the changes.The paper concludes that proper guidelines are needed to control rapid urbanization near historical buildings. Such guidelines should be implemented based on a thorough understanding of the factors that influence the encroachment, as well as the challenges faced by this historical structure in a complex urban setting. By taking a proactive approach to protect cultural heritage, one can ensure that historical buildings continue to serve as valuable cultural assets for generations to come. The paper argues that it will prevent the encroachment and deterioration of such structures and maintain their historical significance, which could serve as a cultural heritage and a source of national pride.
