Cultural heritages communities in Thailand were mostly adapted into a tourist attraction. The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrences of the natives in the central region of Thailand emigrating from their aboriginal communities from this cause. Since This adaptation successfully generates more income to the community, it also attracts outsiders to come in and exploit the better economic situation but pushes the natives away. Thus, the uniqueness and attractiveness of the local way of life and culture starts to disappear and will lose them almost entirely, such as the occurrences at Amphawa, Samchuk and Chiang Khan community.Keywords: Cultural heritage community; Heritage conservation; Cultural Tourism; Conservation in developing countryISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.

Culs-de-sac in Shah Alam, have begun to take centre stage, especially in the high-end neighbourhood developments. Typically, these neighbourhoods can be easily identified. However, in contrast to developed nations, the local municipality has yet to begin identifying neighbourhood typologies. This paper endeavors to elucidate a sampling or identification process procedures of the cul-de-sac neighbourhood. The cul-de-sac was identified by observing intersection connectivity, link-node ratios, as well as street segment analysis; an assimilation of techniques used in recent western methodologies. Scaled macro to micro map analysis aligned sequentially in sieves, allow for identification of specific cul-de-sac syntax; one in particular is the cul-de-sac courtyards.

This paper explores the notion of people’-friendly streets. The primary concern is to identify the people’s need for social behaviours on urban streets. The street environment is examined in respect of the physical qualities through the analysis of questionnaire surveys. Structured observations of the users’ activities and physical environment of the street was conducted as part of the multi-method approach. The users’ needs of a user- friendly street in the Malaysian context are mainly similar to the previous theories developed by other countries, especially the developed ones. However, the attributes that contribute to the factors vary for each context.Keywords: Urban streets; social behaviour; people’s need; people-friendlyISSN: 2398-4287© 2017. The Authors.
