Architectures elements that still exists on this heritage buildings in Alor Setar, are still in
a good condition because of the conservation and preservation from the state. This

Nobat and Balai Seni) will also include about their history and function before and
nowadays. The purpose of the research is also to explore some of the landscape in this
area that have been vanished.
Lack of information about the landscape elements that have been wrote by the writers at
that time, maybe because of the unstable situation at that time either in economy, social
or politics, causing the information that was received today are a little bit limited. Some
of the information are also been passed from one generation to the other in an oral way.
The change of the years also causing many of the individual that had an information
about the history and lived on the glorious years of Kota Setar already passed away.
These major problems causes all the comparission was made based on the classic
literatures, observations and discussions with those who are well verse about the history
of the landscaping at the chosen area and also about the heritage building. However, the
landscaping elements that exists nowaday are ignoring the unique and beautiful garden
that existed before. This research are also covering the history of the old cities before
