However, the identity of MRTs nowadays remains unclear as it continues threatened due to rapid urbanisation and development. This paper aims to discover the physical environment (PE) elements in characterizing the identity of MRT in Alor Setar, Kedah. This research employs a qualitative approach which encompasses of a literature review of old scholarly articles and reports, historical map overlay, semi-structured interview and field observations. Alor Setar, Kedah were selected as a case study due to the rich significance to the identity of the MRT in Malaysia. The findings gathered from this research too are deemed a comprehensive understanding of PE elements of the MRT in Alor Setar and may further help in strengthening the identity and Malaysian history. |
