| Summary: | Lembah Bujang was an international cultural and commercial crossroad 2000 years
age. Its history, economic potential and a unique socio – cultural, art and architecture and diplomatic
relationship offer fertile ground for scholar investigation. However, the issue on the pre-historic ruins
as archaeological sites in Lembah Bujang were secretly demolished by modern development brings a
further analysis. The aim for this research is to identify potential shrines area in two study areas
consisting of Lembah Bujang and Kompleks Sungai Batu using RADARSAT images. Local Adaptive
Filtering and Feature Extraction were applied to multi-temporal images of RADARSAT for years
2003 and 2014 to identify potential shrines. Two study areas were selected using ENVI 4.8. The
findings show that The Local Adaptive Filtering on GAMMA Map filter is one of the best techniques
in identifying potential shrines areas. This technique proves to be a reliable guide in historical sites
detection in Malaysia which will also contribute to the chronological literature of the land use
development planning in Lembah Bujang. Additionally, this technique will also aid in making
recommendations for land use planning guidelines in preservation and conservation of heritage sites. |
