Abstract

The coastal heritage of Teluk Sengat in Kota Tinggi, Johor represents a complex intersection between natural ecosystems, cultural legacy, and human settlement patterns. As a historic port town situated along the Johor River, Teluk Sengat holds tangible and intangible heritage values that have evolved under pressures from climate change, rapid urbanisation, and unsustainable development. This study analyses the landscape character, environmental vulnerabilities, and socio-economic challenges of the area to propose a holistic, resilient design solution. A combination of qualitative methods including site inventory, stakeholder interviews, and literature reviews were used to inform the design strategies. By integrating heritage conservation, ecotourism infrastructure, and climate-sensitive planning, the project aims to regenerate the coastal identity of Teluk Sengat while supporting local communities and preserving biodiversity. The final proposal envisions a sustainable waterfront landscape that enhances cultural continuity, ecological resilience, and economic viability
