Abstract

The objective of this paper is to determine the landscape features that contribute towards the character of the traditional street environment. The case study was conducted at three streets in Melaka, namely; Tukang Besi Street, Tukang Emas Street and Tokong Street. Mixed methods were used in this study which involved visual survey, direct observation of behaviour, user perception (questionnaires, in-depth interview and mental mapping) and an in-depth interview with policy makers. The result shows that landscape features can be characterized into two main categories, namely physical appearance and function.
