The concerned community of the study is the cultural community of Malacca who are residing within the core zone and buffer zone of WHS location of Malacca. Since the physical setting of the WHS location is a rapidly urbanizing tourism city, it is unsurprising that the locals of the city are experiencing the impact of urbanization which often associates to modernization and globalization.
