| Abstract | This paper analyses the town image and mental mapping of this study discusses and identifies the urban design elements in the colonial town in Kuala Kangsar, Perak also known as the Royal town. The study area has its attraction to the urban riverfront and old urban architecture elements. The study applies a qualitative method in analyzing urban design elements of Royal Town. The data was taken from a fieldwork survey conducted in the area. Some data obtained directly from the location include interviews with the resident and businesses. The study finds that this layout design has a different road hierarchy, where the primary road will lead to a secondary road where all is located. This secondary road becomes the main route leading to the market and where the house is located and connecting another part of the layout. This study shows that the area has a Royal Town design which has a more colonial heritage style and it is well designed as part of the town. The Arena Square jetty becomes the node to that area. The path formed from this layout has two circular roads, which one leads to the riverside and another leads to the town where both exit to the main road facing the river. The landmark in this area can become the most dominant element while the path shows as substantial circular road and the study shows that this area has potential in nodes, edges, and districts to become a thriving Royal Town. |
