Sea reclamation in XLIV urban area, Central Malacca District, Malacca: from the perspective of heritage impact assessment study
Asyaari Muhamad1, Amir Husaini Saiffuddin2.
On the coast of Central Malacca, a 75-acres sea reclamation project site has merged with the
National Heritage Gazette area. From July to October 2020, a Heritage Impact Assessment
(HIA) study was conducted at the reclamation project site to decide whether the reclamation
project shall continue or need to be relocated to another location. Based on several previous
survey studies and historical writings, it has been concluded that the area of the project site might
contain a significant number of valuable findings from the aspect of the state heritage. This study
was performed by applying several research methods, namely interviewing informants, scientific
survey studies, and scuba diving, to ensure any findings' accuracy and validity based on previous
studies' literature review and historical writings. Some historical results were discovered during
the research, and this was brought into several discussions regarding how the developer should
adhere to regulations set by the National Heritage Department (JWN) to ensure that any
development of sea reclamation projects in the state should comply with the importance of
heritage, environment, and preserving areas with Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) in the
state of Malacca.
