“…The older participants (56-65) were the most offended by the too-short reverberation of setup 5, while they were the most satisfied with the moderate reverberation of setup 3. In setup 1, QR decreases with increasing age till the age group (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), then it rises again to be constant at 2.5 (that is almost the situation "Fair/Neutral") Setup 5 follows setup 2 as the second worst situation with one exception at the age group (46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55), where QR exceeds its counterpart in setup 2. Setup 5 also clarifies that QR decreases till the age group (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), then gradually increases till the age group .…”

“…In this case, QR depends on the age group. The two age groups (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) and (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) have an almost constant QR value. In setup 4 and the age group (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45), QR slightly decreased to be lower than that of setup 3.…”

“…After the age group (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45), the two setups, 3 and 4, seem to be contradictory. In setup 3, QR slightly decreases after the age group (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), to a significant decrease up to the age group (46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55), then it remarkably increases for the older age group (56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65). Similar characteristics can be identified for setup 4 till the age group (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)…”

“…The research has been extensive, with tens of papers on this topic, most of which cover the different objective aspects of masjid acoustics, either historically or currently. In this context, the works of Hammad [23], Karabiber and Erdogan [24], Seogijanto and Henriza [25], Prodi and Marsilo [26], Kayili [27], António et al [28], Al-Saleh [29], Othman and Mohamed [30], Elkhateeb et al [31], Hossameldien and Alshawan [32], Gül [33], Sabbagh and Elkhateeb [34] are but a few examples. Kayili [27] was probably the first to propose an optimal reverberation curve for masjids, from which the optimal reverberation time TOM can be concluded based on the masjid's volume V. The values on this curve can be calculated using the equation [21]:…”

This study investigates the optimal reverberation time in masjids (mosques) from worshippers' viewpoint for the two modes of performance: recitation and sermon/speech. It also examines the effect of both age and gender on worshippers' preferences. To this end, specially convolved five audio clips (five acoustic setups) for each mode were created and uploaded to Google Drive. More than 300, Arabic-speaking participants, males, and females of different ages, listened to these clips. The participants judged the quality (Q, or appropriateness) of these audio clips for listening either to the recitation (QR) or speech (QS) on a unipolar discrete five-grade scale via a questionnaire that was created on Google Forms. Results indicated that both QR and QS are functions of gender and age. Overall, younger worshippers preferred higher reverberation and vice versa, while gender significantly affected the perception of the desirable reverberation for both recitation and speech. Females tended to the shorter reverberant environment (1.38 s for recitation mode, 0.75 s for speech mode, in the mid-frequency range) than males who preferred longer reverberation for recitation in particular (1.77 s).

“…This town has been selected as a study area because it has acted as the administrative center of the state in the past and holds the Perak royal heritage, customs, and royal instruments. According to Othman [6], this Royal Town is essential for its heritage values and valuable tourism resources.…”

The fast-changing growth of new developments in a Malay Royal Town to create new attractions with various forms of architectural expressions has given a direct impression on the street level, affecting the survival of the buildings along a heritage area. As a result, it will tarnish the original character of the place and disappear the image. A deficit of visual representation for injecting place attachment through the traditional plant motif symbolizes cultural value. This paper aims to identify the qualitative responses to the visual representation of plant motifs in enhancing the royal Town of Kuala Kangsar, conducted semi-structured interview participants based on purposive sampling, including professionals, policymakers, and skilled practitioners categories. The data was analyzed through qualitative coding using Atlas Ti 8.0. The significant findings reveal that the Kalumpang Flower motif, the Melur Flower Motif, and the Motif of Asam Batu leaf is the plant's motif element categorized under the royal image motif, which has a specific meaning related to the historical and cultural background. Most importantly, this finding contributes to assessing the details of the plants' motif representation to assist the city council in preserving the unique and valuable historical heritage of the place image of the Royal Town Kuala Kangsar, Perak.
