Abstract

Negeri Sembilan's unique identity is facing gradual disappearance endangering future generations' identity's ownership as well as cultural and built environment quality due to such misconception. This paper seeks to present the findings of a comprehensive literature review which then tested by a perception survey. The literature review is part of the research activities aimed in unravelling the authenticity of Negeri Sembilan traditional houses. The research methodology was qualitative. This paper enables an understanding of apparent misconceptions and is an important milestone in ongoing research towards preserving the Negeri Sembilan architectural identity for our future communities in facing environmental challenges.
