Kuala Lumpur is one of the tourism destinations which offers a balance of historical and modern development. It has become a central meeting place for the immigrants who monopolised the business operation. This study examines and analyses the perception and opinion of tourists visiting Kuala Lumpur towards the immigrants' influx in the heritage zone. The variables are categorised into three; demographic characteristics of the tourists; tourists' perception and opinion towards the immigrant influx; and tourists’ perception and opinion towards heritage conservation and value. The finding helps the stakeholders to formulate a policy in controlling the immigrant influx in Kuala Lumpur. Keywords: tourists; immigrants; heritage zone. eISSN: 2398-4287© 2020. The Authors.

In 1888, a first recreational area was created in Kuala Lumpur as a place for the British residents. Now, after more than 120 years this lake area still exists. Reintroducing the Sydney Lake Garden as the historical park is not about enhancing the colonial heritage but more on the history that this area once had. With the used of Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley (GKL/KV) as one of the main references, this paper will try to relate it on reviving this recreational area as one of new tourist attraction of Kuala Lumpur, the Sydney Lake Historical Park.Keywords: Heritage Conservation; Historic Park; Heritage Place; Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley (GKL/KV)eISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

The back lane is often associated with annoying, disgusting, narrow and dark. This paper concerns the use of the back lanes of the old shop houses in China Town, Kuala Lumpur. The instruments used in collecting data include observation, unstructured interview and literature review. The use and physical characteristics of back lanes were identified. It was found that the back lanes of China Town in Kuala Lumpur showed the success of turning back streets into lively alleys. Thus, the back lane could be considered as part of urban design strategies and not as leftover spaces.© 2016. The Authors. Published for AMER ABRA by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK.

Attachment to indoor activities has implications for young people in a city, such as sedentary behaviour. It may be the cause of the rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Nature in a city, i.e. Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) is vital to overcome these issues. It acts as a reinforcement to promote healthy lifestyles. The study explores young people’s use and favourable attributes that attract them to UGI. A survey of young people (n=1397) was conducted in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. Safety, nature, cleanliness and design aspects are the attributes that UGI needs to reduce the sedentary indoor lifestyle of young people.Keywords: Urban green infrastructure (UGI); Recreation; Leisure; Healthy lifestyleeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Existences of public spaces in cities are essentials for social interactions to take place, fostering the creation of sustainable, safe and livable cities. Although public spaces are often designed for certain activities, existence of unplanned spaces seemed interwoven in the cityscape, some in the form of leftover spaces, including under the flyovers and bridges, which offers an abundance of opportunities. This paper attempts to review activities under flyovers initiated by its local community in Kuala Lumpur and aims to contribute in further identifying the leftover spaces, and to the possible activities to be considered in developing these spaces to benefit surrounding communities.
