To evaluate rural landscape eligibility:

1. Defining significance
a) Significant elements are valued
based on the following criteria:
– association w/events/actv. Ex:
farming, irrigation, fishing, settlement,
mining.
 – association w/important persons
of success, talent, ingenuity etc.
–distinctiveness phy. characteristics
of dsgn, const & form. Ex. Vernacular
bldg, transport system.
– provides info its past ex
archeology sites. Ex. Abandoned
roadways, reforested field, remnant
stone walls.
 Conclusion:
• The NR criteria is a foundation on which to
make a statement for the creation of a rural
landscape. The village of Kg Sgi Muka 2 can
be considered a rural landscape under
criteria A & C with the criteria A providing
the strongest evidence for the creation of a
rural landscape.

2. Assess historic integrity:

a. Criteria consideration
Historic integrity is the composite of 7
qualities are:
• Location – place where property took
place. Related with geography factors
include proximity to natural resources, soil
fertility, accessibility etc.
• Design - the
design of the
pattern/layout
rural built form has
been maintained.
The spatial layout
of laman
melayu…
• Setting - physical env that surround of
property ex: river, mountain, forest etc.
• Ex Kg Sri Lumpur surrounded by north-west
and south-west of Mersing river and laut
china selatan. Whilst, each individual house
surrounding by nature plants.
• Surrounding by natural features (river and
offshore sea) shown still remain intact as they
did when the 1st settlers arrived.
• Material –the material used for the const of the
house have been retained. Ex house built with
timber, bamboo material etc
• Workmanship – ways people changed/fashioned
their env for function/decorative.
• Feeling – setting, design, material and workmanship
creates the sense of past times.
• Association – historic property/events but still
practice till now. So this can maintain historic place.
ex. The association with fisherman actv is still strong
in the village of kg sri lumpur retains the character
of a fisherman malay village.

Conclusion
The larger scale NR criteria considerations of location,
setting…. Provide a strong argument for the creation
of a Rural Landscape. This evaluation of the elements
of this village by the NR Criteria & Considerations
presents strong evidence that this village is a Rural
Landscape.

other public utilities; modern residential,
commercial, etc)
• deterioration, abandonment, & relocation
of historic buildings/structures
