Seni ukiran Melayu adalah suatu hasil kerja bermutu tinggi yang mempunyai makna dan identiti tersendiri di sebalik setiap kepingan ukiran tersebut. Namun begitu sesebuah artifak ukiran akan hanya tersimpan menjadi koleksi dan berfungsi sebagai data visual semata-mata. Kertas kerja ini akan membincangkan sebuah kaedah pendokumentasian
yang digunakan bagi tujuan memudahkan pembinaan data teks dan proses inventori sesebuah artifak ukiran Melayu. Kaedah Kod ‘S’ adalah hasil daripada kajian yang telah dilakukan ke atas artifak ukiran terpilih, temu bual ke atas pengukir-pengukir terpilih dan kajian kes ke atas
bangunan terpilih serta berpandukan kaedah pengumpulan data dalam pengkalan data dengan melibatkan lima puluh motif dan spesis tumbuhan daripada seratus motif dan spesis tumbuhan yang telah dikenalpasti. Matlamat utama kajian adalah untuk merungkai nama dan makna bunga
ukiran sambil menambah dan memperteguh teori tentang ukiran Melayu berkaitan simbolisme melalui penerokaan dan siasatan tentang motif dan ragam hiasnya.

urban development. Solid and holistic data of culture and heritage is vital in order to understand its community and
to develop a more meaningful place for the present and future generation. This paper discusses few projects
undertaken by researchers from KUTAI (Centre for Knowledge & Understanding of Tropical Architecture and
Interior) related directly or indirectly to the idea of regeneration which is the theme of this conference. The uses of cultural mapping as a tool to understand places were discussed as a fundamental issue in any redevelopment.

The spread of Islam to this region has indeed contributed to the Islamic heritage and civilization in its own way. Heritage incorporates both tangible and the intangible. Preserving heritage is vital for a nation to instill pride and to reinforce social cohesion through cultural identity. In the face of globalization, modernization, natural disasters, wars,conflicts and urbanization many of our cultural artifacts and traditions are threatened by loss or destruction. State Governments, local governments, property owners and members of the community all have a role to play in ensuring that the valuable asset of our heritage is recognised, respected and promoted. With regards to this matter, university plays an important role in conserving and
preserving Islamic heritage. As a higher learning institution, university is an organization that offers not only education
related to Islamic heritage themes but also conducts large and small-scale research projects. University provides conducive and productive environment for education and research activities. These would cultivate knowledge and create awareness among the society as well as future leaders in managing and preserving heritage assets. This paper discusses the role of universities in conducting research activities and documenting Islamic architectural heritage in the Malay World particularly in Malaysia.

Knowledge and expertise in the form of tangible or intangible is usually passed down from earlier generations or learned from the previous ‘local genius’. This paper discusses built environment from the local context and its relationship with its local genius.Data were gathered and analysed through interviews with selected local builders, and artisans. Literature reviews on old manuscripts from the Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia and Tajul Muluk forms the basis of reference in this paper. Aspects of construction technology, material selection and architectural design are briefly discussed giving new perspective in architectural research when analysed from the wisdom of its local context.

The algorithm will further classify the motifs into two main codes, i.e, Bunga' code and 'Daun' code. The 'Bunga' code will be sub-categorized into eight types and the 'Daun' code will also be sub-categorized into eight types. Hence, given an input
motif image, it is expected that it will output the correct motif classification. The proposed algorithm will not only retrieve the motifs automatically but it will also create a database of digitized motifs.

It serves as a means of transport and livelihood to many people who live by its basins. In certain part of the world the river is often seen as the most important element despite of the rapid physical and infrastructural development. Sungai Perak, the second longest river system in Peninsular Malaysia flowing along
400km of river basin that consist of traditional villages, architectures and royal tombs that hold many mysteries on its long socio-cultural and economic history of the traditional Perak Malays. Sungai Perak also holds the long lost historical data possibly equivalent to the empire of the Malacca Sultanate that should be protected. This study will explore and discuss the socio-cultural and architectural heritage discovered along the river system and attempt to highlight the potential of the long marginalized legacy by capturing one of the true essence of the traditional Malay world.

The informal boundaries that exist for centuries have shaped the established routes for traders, missionaries and the populace that consequently influenced the character and disposition of the new villages, coastal townships and ports of call. History witnessed many changes and migrations
together with the inevitable resettlement of the sovereign kingdoms along with its populace. The 2nd century Funan Kingdom, the ruler of Kemboja in the northeast of the Malay peninsula; the Langkasuka government to the north, the Sriwijaya Kingdom(6th to 12th); the Malacca Sultanate as well as the\Majapahit Kingdom in Java in the 15th century fashioned and transformed the migration patterns of the
Malay Nusantara. Economic factors together with other socio-cultural motives appear to be the basis for the founding of new governments and the successive migration process among the populace. The events that took place had affected and transformed the overall belief, socio-culture, the built environment and the way of life among the Malays as the majority inhabitants in the Nusantara. The built environment and its architecture are seen as comprehensive testimonies to the adaptation, assimilation and innovation process that came about as a result of the migration. Distinctions can be made between the numerous architectural designs, carvings and their associated symbolisms in the Malay world that assist to elucidate the factors and thoughts behind the considerable migration of the Malay populace. This paper discuss and attempt to enlighten the changes that took place and the ensuing transformation witnessed in the development of architecture as a result of the migration process in the Malay world.
