With this awareness, the study aims to unfold the “constructive approach” of the ambience with three main objectives. The first objective is to identify the heritage street Revitalisation Attribute (RA) and develop the Revitalisation Toolkit (RT). RA is the “construct” and RT is the “measuring tool” of the heritage street revitalisation performance (RP). The second objective is to investigate the experts’ decision-making using Expert Choice for Revitalisation Ranking (RR) of heritage streets. The highest rank street leads to the third objective which is to develop the Revitalising Strategy (RS). In terms of methodology, this study employs mixed methods of unobtrusive and obtrusive research. The unobtrusive research employs document analysis and Direct Visual Assessment (DVA) and the obtrusive research employs Focus Interview (FI) with experts in Melaka and George Town, Pulau Pinang. The findings of this research are the identification of RA, and the development of RR and RS. The research findings provide an integrated monitoring system for the identification of RA and development of toolkit for ranking and strategy towards valorising the urban outdoor quality of the heritage streets. 2015 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/18334/2/ABS_ZALINA%20SAMADI%20TDRA%20VOL%208%20IGS%2015.pdf Samadi, Zalina (2015) Urban heritage street revitalisation: identification of attributes and development of ranking and strategy / Zalina Samadi.
