| Abstract | This research discusses the spatial characteristics of urban kampung (village) interaction with a cemetery by investigating the physical, social and economic effects. The snowball approach was employed to collect data from 16 key informants such as community leaders, cemetery caretakers, visitors at the Bergota Public Cemetery (BPC) and traders in the Bukit Bergota area. Primary data consisted of field notes, in-depth interviews with secondary data being historical documents of the area, government and community-based documents. Using case study research design, the study was carried out by categorizing kampungs into three different zones as analytical units to reflect its character as well as identify spatial, social and economic interactions. The areas background was gleaned from historical references and publicly available digital documents. There are three main characteristics of cemetery kampung: It is fluid space for the kampung with a memorial identity on a foundation of the economics of cemetery activities. These characteristic generate a particular and significant urban scale identity. Its distinctiveness of place identity strengthens the kampung's role. Its place identity are embodied in its landscape, history, traditional characteristics and demand for related services. The unique interaction between cemetery and kampungs can be used by urban practitioners, local governments and academics as guidelines for improved understanding of issues related to local identity and provide a better quality of life in these neighborhoods. |
