As a World Heritage Site with more than 5,000 buildings, education and information as well as understanding and appreciation of the Site are vital to meaningful conservation management.

To ensure that heritage buildings are conserved and restored in a manner that preserves their authenticity, George Town World Heritage Incorporated conducts capacity building projects such as the Tangible Heritage Workshops that enhance the knowledge and skills of the public who are involved either directly or indirectly in the planning, development, management, monitoring and enforcement efforts of George Town as a World Heritage Site.

The workshops - Heritage and Conservation Workshops (Introduction, Intermediate and Advanced levels) and the Heritage Impact Assessment Workshop - create public awareness on the conservation of heritage buildings and the protection of the Outstanding Universal Value for the preservation of George Town as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Heritage and Conservation Workshops will equip participants with knowledge of the restoration and repair of heritage buildings especially in the World Heritage Site, the principles of conservation, and explanations on the technical stages including council requirements and guidelines for conservation work.

Through the Heritage Impact Assessment Workshop, representatives from government agencies, private property owners, architects, building engineers, and quantity surveyors are introduced to the Heritage Impact Assessment report, which details the surrounding impacts on the proposed development, restoration or renovation site. Participants will be given exposure to the procedures required for producing a comprehensive, high quality assessment report.

It aims to enhance the capacity of stakeholders involved in disaster risk reduction of heritage cities and empower the communities through the improved management plans that include disaster risk reduction strategies. The Inception Workshop on the Capacity Building for Disaster Risk Reduction of Heritage Cities in Southeast Asia and Small Island Developing States in the Pacific organised in George Town on 5 and 6 April 2017 was the first activity held under the project. It was then followed by the National Workshop on Harmonizing Coordination to Implement Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Strategy in the Heritage City of George Town on 1 and 2 March 2018, held to discuss the development of effective disaster risk reduction strategies for George Town by refining a draft Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class="img-box"][vc_column 0=""][vc_single_image image="2191" img_size="full" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="fadeInUp" el_class="about1-text"][vc_column 0=""][vc_column_text 0=""]At the same time, George Town World Heritage Incorporated promotes knowledge of disaster risk management through workshops and awareness campaigns to educate the local communities on implementing protection measures, and how to act and respond effectively in the event of disasters such as fire and flood. Representatives from the local communities residing in the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site attend our disaster risk management workshops to collectively identify the risks in their surrounding compounds, preventive measures, and emergency action plans. The workshop and discussion sessions enhance their disaster preparedness, enabling them to understand and identify the hazards, vulnerability, possible factors of disasters, and the impact of disasters on the site. The Community-based Fire Responders for George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site programme has been organised in collaboration with UNESCO Jakarta in 2019, to improve fire protection measures and enhance the communities’ resilience during fire emergencies. Participants are to each receive a set of fire extinguisher and smoke detector to be installed at their respective heritage premises, as well as undergo a basic training in firefighting and be provided with practical fire mitigation information. A disaster risk reduction toolkit in the form of informative posters is also developed as part of the capacity building efforts to educate the public on disaster mitigation measures and improve their emergency response preparedness. The posters are available in four languages - English, Malay, Chinese, and Tamil - and can be downloaded for free.

Perhaps the most characteristic building form is the shophouse whose design style has evolved over nearly two hundred years, picking up the influences from many different cultures. With a growing awareness of the significance of the built environment - stimulated by George Town's inscription by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2008 - there is greater interest than ever in understanding the construction and conservation of these shophouses. Drawing on many years of research and practical experience as a heritage architect, Tan Yeow Wooi has produced and up-to-date, fully illustrated and comprehensive handbook that catalogues and represents the vast array of features and materials used in these outstanding buildings.

Publisher: George Town World Heritage Incorporated

Year Published: 2015

In the historic city of George Town, while one trishaw rider is being directed to 'Lean Hwa Ho' - the 'stream of the lotus flowers', a taxi is being directed to 'Nyior Cabang' - the 'row of coconut trees', both passengers actually wish to go to Leith Street, which now has neither lotus flowers nor coconut trees. As the 'street of stonemasons' or 'Pak Cheok Kay' or Acheen Street embraces its last few actual stonemasons, this publication seeks to document the delightful wealth of oral history in the form of local references used over the last 200 years to refer to our streets by occupations, trades, activities and local personalities.

These references were not only useful and pertinent, often they were droll and witty. Sometimes puns were used, occasionally they were even risqué. The historical significance of these traditional names was so valued that the first compilation appeared in 1900. This latest one features 118 streets within the George Town World Heritage Site and beyond, and attempts to put together the recollections of the dwindling residents of the inner city.
