“…The key idea for tourism strengthening in the Plan is to promote contemporary cultural resources, promote the Pasir Salak Historical Complex, promote handicraft industries, and develop royal tombs as tourist attractions. According to a recent study by Harun (2018), there are numerous potential attractions in the district that each have their own identity and are positioned along a route that can be linked to allow visitors to explore the area easily. Unfortunately, these attractions are not well-publicized and do not have adequate on-site support.…”

Perak Tengah District has much cultural heritage potential to promote, notably in terms of village life, arts, culture, and agriculture. In order to be beneficial to the community, additional efforts should be encouraged to draw tourists to Perak, and the new attraction should be carefully defined and interpreted, especially in rural regions. Unfortunately, there is not enough support for the tourism industry's infrastructure, and the services are still not up to par. The Local Plan 2013, which promotes tourist-related products in Perak Tengah, is the foundation of the proposal to boost tourism there. This is consistent with the policies outlined in the Perak State Plan, which emphasises Perak Tengah's tourism products and integrated growth as a Perak tourism attraction. Focus group discussions with local agencies will be used in this study's qualitative research, which will be used to examine the rural development in the Perak Tengah District. The study begins by identifying the person in charge of change for each administrative area. This study is divided into five (5) main sections: the tourist destination, the tourist product, the tourist activities, the promotion of tourism, and the infrastructure for tourists, particularly in the administrative district. Based on the findings of this study, it was found that there are various potentials that local authorities can highlight. The suggestions and perceptions expressed that rural tourism can revive and improve the tourism economy in Perak Teng

“…Activities such as agriculture activities, playing traditional games, making local crafts, and eating traditional food could enrich the rural tourist experience and cater for different tourist segments. History is also an important component that encapsulates the tangible and intangible values of the past in a place, such as through historical sites, languages, customs and legends (Brown & Brabyn, 2012;Harun, 2018). This experience is enhanced by the settings of built elements in the rural area, such as traditional architecture, landmarks and rural structures (Mohd Hussain and Byrd, 2011).…”

Tourism routes connect the city to the rural areas by linking a variety of activities and attractions. Tourism activities stimulate entrepreneurial opportunities through the development of ancillary products and services. The planning of resources and attractions along the route can be integrated to support the development of a region, conservation and rejuvenation of cultural and natural resources. An attractive route can attract special interest tourists whose travel motivation is to experience the rural environment. This paper examined the landscape characters found along the rural route of Kuala Selangor to Sabak Bernam in Selangor, Malaysia. Based on 250 survey questionnaires among locals and tourists, this study evaluated the importance of nine criteria of the rural tourism route. The findings suggested that the intangible criteria are pertinent to support the tangible criteria. This paper concludes by recommending ways to improve the landscape characters of the route to enrich the tourist experience.

“…There are 2 types of traditional Malay house in Perak, which is Rumah Kutai and Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP) that contributes to the tangible heritage of Perak (Rashid, 2017). Tangible heritage assets should be preserved and promoted as part of the rural heritage of Perak, thus enhancing the economy and development of the rural settlements of the area (Harun, 2018). More than 20 cultural heritage resources are found along the riverbanks of Perak, including historic buildings with their own identity and characteristic (Harun & Mat Zin, 2018).…”

Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP) is one of the traditional Malay houses of Perak that can be seen in Perak Tengah. Perak Tengah is one of the regions in Perak with a rich collection of historical remnants such as traditional houses, tombs, and arts and crafts. The cultural heritage value it has is highly potential to be highlighted that can help boost the area's rural tourism. However, the lack of heritage interpretation due to limited research has disabled the effort to promote the rural heritage of Perak Tengah. Therefore, this research aims to understand and interpret the roof decorative architectural components of one of the traditional Malay houses of Perak, which is the RLBP, as part of the tangible heritage of Perak Tengah. Data collection was conducted using multiple case studies. A total of 20 roof decorative architectural components of RLBP have been analysed in the data analysis. The findings of this research contribute toward establishing the character and identity of the decorative architectural components of the RLBP as one of the tangible heritage values of Perak Tengah, thus enhancing the heritage interpretation of the area.
