Abstract

The remnants of tin mining have left abandoned, derelict sites that pose environmental, economic, and cultural challenges. This study focuses on the reclamation of the Sri Banting Tin Dredge site in Dengkil, Selangor, and proposes strategies to transform it into a heritage tourism destination while restoring its ecosystem. The analysis addressed key aspects such as zoning analysis, environmental and spatial conditions, infrastructure development, and suitable programmes. These strategies aim to sustainably reclaim and repurpose the site, ensuring responsible transformation for heritage tourism. The findings reveal that such reclamation strategies not only can restore ecosystems but can also preserve cultural history and stimulate economic growth through tourism. This approach can serve as a model for revitalising other post-mining landscapes, highlighting the importance of balancing environmental restoration, cultural preservation, and economic development. The research provides valuable insights for landscape architects and policymakers on how to transform derelict sites, contributing to heritage tourism.
