Among these modes, bus transportation continues to be the top choice for intercity travelers in Malaysia. Bus offers more flexibility compared to the other transport modes. Due to its relatively cheaper fare as compared to the air transport, bus is more affordable to those with low income. However, bus transport service today is starting to face higher competition from rail and air transport due to their attractive factors. The huge challenge faced by intercity bus transport in Malaysia is the management of its services. The intercity bus transport does not fall under one management; unlike rail transport which is managed under Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), or air transport which is managed under Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB).

In Malaysia, Muslim religious education has developed in two forms, traditional and modern systems. Ulama play a vital role to produce human capital for the nation. Close collaboration between ulama and the ruler (sultan / king) produced an outstanding achievement in making sure traditional religious education is able to be transformed into integrated modern system.

Tanjung Pura, formerly was the capital of Malay Sultanate of Langkat, had various cultural heritages of Malay Sultanate and Dutch colonial. The diversity of cultural heritage objects in Tanjung Pura such as the historical buildings possess great potential as tourism assets in Tanjung Pura. Therefore, the conservation efforts are very much needed to avoid the old town Tanjung Pura from becoming only as a history. The special target of this research is the conservation of the region in Tanjung Pura as an architectural and cultural tourism asset. The results of the research are the design concept, conservation concept, design of the area, and documentation (such as photos and pictures of the historical buildings) using a design program. The result of the measurements and sketches in the area obtained using the design program, analysis and design concepts for the area will be used as a tourist object attraction. Keywords: City of Tanjung Pura, Conservation, Tourism Architecture. 1. INTRODUCTION Issues about the conservation of historical areas, especially in the old town have been done by many countries in this world such as Japan, Netherland, Singapore, and others. For example, in the beginning, Singapore had replaced buildings and historical areas with new appearance of modernization. However, the small number of tourists that come to Singapore made the government return back the historical city’s look such as Kampung Melayu, Little India, and China Town.

Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

In Malaysia, the problem issues are related to traffic congestion and many user cars on the roadway in daily lives. One alternative mode of using a rail network is commuter, LRT, Monorail, MRT and ETS. Therefore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is then used to map and produce the railway networks history and developments in urban public transportation (UPT). The goal of this research is to identify the heatmap trends of the Klang Valley railway stations which included Kuala Lumpur as urban public transport sectors. It was based on the OSM image layer from the year 1990 to 2019 and studied the growth of railway networks through a polyline pattern analysis.
