INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 2008 "SUSTAINEBLE BUILT ENVIRONMENT: BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE", 3 4th. DECEMBER 2008, UNIVERSITY SCIENCE MALAYSIA conserve and reserve historic buildings because it rovides a sense of identity and continuity in a fast changing world. Since the building boom of the 1570s, many of Malaysia.s historic buildings have been demolished. Recent large scale urban develo ment continues to threaten re7war buildings, while other historic buildings are sim ly deteriorating due to age, neglect and high cost of maintenance. /ee 015583 e( ressed that to lose these buildings, however is effectively to obliterate historical memories, and there is now increasing ressure from various segments of the community to conserve the nation.s historical heritage. As we all known that conservation is the action taken to revent decay, embracing all acts that rolong the life of cultural and natural heritage. Building conservation according to 0/ielden, 10009 Insall, 15713 relates s ecifically to the rocess of re air, maintenance and restoration of historic buildings which aim to rolong a building.s life and function. In Malaysia, the ractice of building conservation is considered new. Laws for historic building conservation are established throughout legislation whereby a national inventory of historic buildings includes lists and schedules of old buildings for rotection. E(am le of historic buildings in Malaysia according to Ahmad 015573 are mosque, churches, alaces, clock towers, risons, government offices, institutional and commercials, residential, schools, railway stations, hotels, forts and monuments. 0. AIM AND OB1ECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH The overall aim of this research is to have specific knowledge associated with defects in Malaysia historical buildings like9 to determine the locations, ty es and causes of defect so that specific action can be carried out to overcome the roblems as described before. Meanwhile the overall outcome of this research is to be able to recognize and diagnose defects at each building element in historic buildings. Previously much has been ublished about building defects, their causes and cures, but unfortunately the information is scattered over a wide range of ublications and not easily accessible. There are also a number of e(cellent te(ts, studies and research conducted on building defects but these tends to be either highly technical and/or specific to certain ty e of defects or building materials and did not cover on the overall elements of the buildings. Moreover, the ublished advice on remedial work often assumes that the cause of the failure is already known9 in ractice, although the sym toms will be a arent, the under laying factors may be obscure. If a wrong diagnosis is made, the treatment is unlikely to be successful and money will be wasted. Actually there is a need for a guide to study about the defects and aid the 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2nd.

DECEMBER 2008, UNIVERSITY SCIENCE MALAYSIA correct diagnosis of defects because revention is better than cure, and something have to be done to reduce the frequency of defects especially to historic buildings by choosing a ro riate a roaches, methods, techniques and materials. Therefore it is worth to do this research. There are four rimary ob)ectives in this research that need to be fulfilled to ensure that the overall aim of this research is achieved. The ob)ectives are as follows: 1. To determine the conditions of building defects at Malaysia historical buildings. 1. To determine whether the historical buildings in Malaysia has been conserved accordingly to the conservation guidelines. 3. To determine the locations of defects at historic buildings. 4. To identify whether the conservation a roach has been carried out ractically. 2. APPROACH AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The a roach used in this research starts with the overview of historic buildings in Malaysia. The literature review is mainly acquired from ublished books, research a ers, seminar a ers and )ournals. The research is further reinforced by formulating a set of questionnaires and handed over to owners or occu ants of selected historic buildings in Malaysia. The questionnaire will be tabulated, summarized and analyzed accordingly to the research ob)ectives to obtain findings. The background information of this research is obtained by various methods and the collection of new data is necessary to get the accurate result. The data regarding defects in historic buildings is collected by two main methods as follows: 1. Observations through site survey/ ilot survey where data is obtained from a visual inspection of defects at its e(act location or based on building elements. 1. Auestionnaires as mention before where data is collected by re aring a series of structured questions related to conservation a roach at the historical buildings. 3. PILOT SURVEY ON THE HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN MALAYSIA Building conservation has long been of concern, although its o ular a lication is relatively recent in origin, articularly in Malaysia. In the ast few years, many historic buildings have been reserved and conserved while others have been converted to become remises for a bank, restaurant, information centre or a rinting office.

These three major components of traditional Malaysian architecturel have evolved in sequence and have overlapped from the beginning of the fifteenth century. These building traditions ceased with the emergence of a new architectural movement which was brought into the country in the twentieth century after the nation's independence. This new phase was the development of modern architecture and during this period, many buildings in Malaysian cities were built in the International Style, which was popular in many western countries. The continual process of adopting western styles and images has resulted in buildings which disregard the environmental and climatic factors of Malaysia and this has led to the problem of identity in the development of Malaysian architecture. It was in view of this problem that this research was initiated, coupled with an interest to investigate the underlying principles of traditional built 1 For the purpose of this study, 'traditional architecture' or 'traditional built forms' refer to the early building traditions in Malaysia before independence which includes the Chinese and colonial buildings.

According to many international fire experts, fire safety systems in heritage buildings must be sympathetically designed in order to minimise the impact on the historic character (authenticity) of the buildings. Nevertheless, although many lessons have been learned and approaches to fire safety in heritage buildings have grown more sophisticated, one simple fact remains: most fires occur as a result of human action or negligence. Special considerations should be applied in upgrading fire safety systems in heritage buildings. Not only must the systems aim to comply with the relevant standards and provide the intended levels of protection, but additionally their impact on the building and its fabric must meet a range of tests.

Different versions abound of how this cowboy-town got its name: one, according to the fourth edition of Dewan TBahasa & Pustaka (DBP) dictionary, the word ‘Lenggong’ in its direct translation is an ark; another, was about a man named Lenggong who was residing in the thick forest and discovered the place. Despite being the smallest district in Perak, lush Lenggong was listed as an archaeological heritage site by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2012 when researchers found evidence in the open-air and cave sites, of hominid history from 1.83 million to 1700 years ago. Since then, the town has been inundated with tourists curious about its history.
