description	Due to the scale of recent development and rapid urbanisation in Kelantan, Malaysia,there is a general lack of understanding and appreciation of the Kelantan Malay culturallandscape. This PhD research was undertaken in order to identify the characteristics andidentity of the Kelantan Malay cultural landscape. Through this improved understanding,it is hoped to better respect the heritage in contemporary planning and landscape design.The investigation highlights the authentic traditional elements that the inheritedlandscape can offer to contemporary planners, landscape architects, and municipaladministrators in order to preserve the integrity and the beauty of the Kelantan Malaylandscape. The search for the Kelantan Malay regional identity is quite a complicatedendeavour both because of the diverse causes of change, and the difficulties in obtainingreferences and documentation about the; Kelantan Malay cultural landscape. There is anurgent and imperative task to secure the future of the authentic Kelantan Malay culturallandscape. Basically, Kelantan is being becoming acknowledged as a cradle of Malaycultures since most of the traditional Malay cultures can be found there. Traditional artsand culture are crucial to regional identity and, significantly, their vernacular qualitiesalso playa vital role in creating the beauty of the cultural landscape. They have their ownexpression in architecture and landscape that could be identified as unique within theMalay Archipelago. The study will also consider the Kelantan traditional Malay house,the village, and the landscape elements of the capital city of Kota Bharu. This researchwill also look into the influences from other landscape traditions in creating the KelantanMalay cultural landscape. These include the early stage of Kelantan, during the HinduBuddhistera, the philosophy and culture of the Islamic era, Siamese influence, Britishcolonial influence, and the period after Independence in 1957. In addition, this researchwill look into the approaches that have been used by Kota Bharu Municipal Council increating the new landscape, especially in the city centre. At the same time the process ofcreating the regional identity will be considered. Kota Bharu, as an Islamic city,represents a symbolic trademark to the urban development of the Islamic state ofKelantan. It appears that there have been many changes in the cultural landscape ofKelantan, especially in the traditional villages and the city centre, that have graduallybeen transformed. In an important sense, recent new building and new urbandevelopment have transformed the cultural landscape either in a traditional matter or in apastiche way. This thesis recognises the importance of incorporating the existing heritagealongside contemporary design. This research also seeks to consider the future prospectsfor the Kelantan Malay cultural landscape since there are many evolutions currentlyunderway. Optimistically, there will be better landscape practices in the future, as well asfurther research on the Kelantan Malay cultural landscape.
