Abstract

Fisherman Village, which has its unique cultural heritage and intricate interplay between humans and their natural surroundings, offers a captivating context for cultural landscape research. The strength of these activities is that sustain the cultural fabric of fisherman villages. The advent of modernization often entails a shift away from traditional practices and livelihoods, as communities grapple with the integration of modern technologies and new generations. Thus, the objective of this paper is to delve into the core activities that shape the cultural landscape of fisherman villages, providing a comprehensive background analysis of how these communities interact with their surroundings, traditions, and identities. The focus is on identifying and documenting the main activities that have traditionally been important for preserving the sustainability of the cultural landscape that has been the backbone of fisherman villages. This study utilized a qualitative technique, employing semi-structured interviews and observations. The findings of this study emphasize the essence of Kota Kuala Kedah, unearthing the fundamental activities and practices that define its cultural identity. Thus, it is hoped the findings of this study to serve as a foundation for informed policies and actions aimed at sustaining the cultural vibrancy of fisherman villages for generations to come.
