The growing population and demand for urbanisation have led to pressure on rural areas and the natural environment. The crucial issue is protecting the rural area boundaries, which are essential for food security and traditional rural settlements. As urbanisation progresses due to the demand for development and population, the rural settlements and boundaries should be protected to ensure the sustainability of the resources for the population. The categorisation of land use data is inconsistent and poses several insufficient representations of rural boundaries in Penang. The main objective of this study is to compare the changes in rural boundaries in Penang in 2019 and the mapping of urban areas based on several data. The content analysis was used to compare and triangulate the data to be used for spatial analysis. The findings showed that the most prominent type of village is the traditional village, which accounted for 88%. Based on Penang’s development priority areas (DPA) until 2030, 20133.83 acres of village or 52.92%. The village boundaries in Seberang Perai Utara District will be substantially affected, with an area of 7968.89 acres (20.95%). The implication of this study is that the protection of traditional villages and fishing villages requires attention given that most affected areas are traditional villages in Penang due to the development direction, with a total area of 18060.61 acres (47.47%).
