Heritage upholds high values in a society. Arts and culture passed down by the previous generations have a significant influence on the identity formation of a particular race. In Terengganu, much of its heritage and relics left by its ancestors were abandoned and forgotten by modernization. The impact of globalization is feared to sink local heritage if it is not well taken care of and lack of sustainable actions to maintain these heritages. Generally, heritage can be classified into two categories; tangible heritage and intangible heritage. Tangible heritage can be further divided into two – static and mobile. Historical landmarks, monuments, buildings, tombs and mines are some examples of static tangible heritage and possess their values in the identity formation of the local citizens. In order to preserve the tangible heritage assets in Terengganu, integrated and proactive solutions need to be taken by various parties by taking into account all the factors that would form a sustainable model that can be referred to as means to preserve the heritage. This study employs a mixed methodology approach; qualitative method and supported quantitative method. The researchers have conducted a few series of in-depth interviews with respondents identified to be able to provide the necessary information, then widened further to the sample population through instruments of questionnaires in certain locations with tangible heritage. Several locations identified were Bandar Bukit Besi, Bukit Tebuk in Dungun, Pura Tanjung Sabtu and Duyong Island in Kuala Terengganu. Research data were then analyzed using Nvivo software for qualitative data and SPSS software in descriptive design to support the findings of the research. This study would make a huge impact on society, particularly on the aspects of tangible heritage preservation, to ensure that they can be inherited by the younger generations to maintain their strong identity as local citizens.
