Contemporary Uses of Buildings on a Heritage Street
Year: 2015
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper concerns the survival of the buildings along a heritage street known as Tan Hiok Nee Street in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The research was conducted to examine the current situation of the street especially in the use of the buildings. The data was collected from site observation, literature review and interview of the tenants, owners and visitors. The finding suggests that some of the buildings do not meet the current demands of the users. Some strategies need to be devised in order to retain the heritage street for the benefit of the future generations.
