“…This phenomenon is reminiscent of the concept of living heritage. Living heritage can be seen as a heritage site that retains its original function, which reflects the culture, the process of spatial definition as a form of response to changing circumstances in society (Poulios, 2010;Rashid, 2015). Omah Pencu, which has been mostly a dwelling, is a form of living heritage that still maintains traditional culture for generations.…”

This study aims to map the existence of the wooden houses of Omah Pencu and classifies their potencies as heritage buildings in the historic area of Kudus Kulon. Caring for indigenous cultural heritage will contribute to the strengthening of local identity. The traditional houses of Omah Pencu have been developing as the specific architecture since the end of the 17'th century, as a living place of the ‘Gusjigang' community, and artifacts evident of the city heyday. However, the pressure of modernization-capitalization in the city caused several changes in their built environment and decreased the number of Omah Pencu. This research concern with the GIS interpretation methods and the direct observations use the questionnaire, interview, and architectural documentation. The findings provide an important database for preservation in the digital era. The digital mapping, combined with the mapping of tangible and intangible buildings, produces digital information about the Omah Pencu building condition that has never been done before. Through this mapping, found that the participation effort of the community caused the sustainability of preservation. It is a very significant bottom-up participation. However, toward sustainable preservation, a strategy, planning, design, and management that integrated all stakeholders and resources by utilizing digital technology are needed.

“…Along the river banks, there are many traditional Kutai houses with unique architecture and remain in sturdy condition. According to Abd Rashid (2015), there are about 40 Kutai houses that still survive but only 30 in intact condition. The beautiful view of paddy fields, durian orchards, and farms would become interactive information that can be used for interpretation.…”

The State of Perak is known for its richness and uniqueness in history and cultural heritage. However, the State’s tourism promotion has been focusing more on the popular destinations, leaving out those with heritage significance especially those located in the rural area. This is due to limited knowledge on method to interpret the cultural resources in the rural area, as well as unorganized interpretation programmes. This research has two aims, which are 1) to identify potential cultural heritage significance in Perak Tengah; and 2) to outline an interpretation plan of the potential cultural heritage as new tourist attraction of Perak. Thisresearch involves three stages; observation and inventory of resources, focus group interview and interpretation proposal. Results from the focus group discussion indicate the need to customize the interpretation and presentation of rural heritage especially on physical experience in community cultural activities. In the end, this study outlines interpretation guidance for heritage site operators on how visitors can experience the cultural heritage in the rural area.

Learning from ancient water management: Archeology's role in modern‐day climate change adaptations

Climate change is altering our environment and societies worldwide have to devise adaptation strategies. Water management strategies are becoming especially important. In the past, societies had to adapt in order to survive as well. Communities often practised long-term sustainable agriculture. By understanding the ways in which ancient communities were successful at or failed in attaining social-ecological resilience through water management archeologists can provide important information for modern communities facing similar problems. Archeology's long time perspective is very valuable. However, archeologists are confronted with a number of issues. Archeology can only study the material remains of past societies, not the living communities. Not all human activity translates into material residue and not all materials survive. Moreover, people will not demonstrate completely rational causeand-effect behavior, but ideology and beliefs, which archeology can only poorly attest, will also have influenced decisions. Nevertheless, archeology can bring a unique perspective to the debate on climate change adaptation: archeology can falsify or corroborate sustainability claims, ancient water management techniques may still be a resilient mode of subsistence and ancient techniques often rely on relatively simple technology allowing for easier adoption. When transposing ancient water management techniques to modern situations it is important to involve stakeholders from an early stage, to incorporate traditional knowledge systems as much as possible and most importantly to ascertain whether physical and socio-cultural circumstances are comparable. Archeological knowledge on ancient sustainability and water management is not a panacea for all climate related aridification, but can contribute a unique longue durée perspective.
