Conservation in the historic inner city of George Town of Penang, Malaysia in the past decades has focused in preventing the loss of heritage buildings. Meanwhile, population decrease continues to occur although the city was declared a World Heritage Site in 2008. The rapid loss of the city's old community may inevitably lead to a loss of identity of place in the city. This research aims to examine the link between community involvement and identity of place by studying the pilot program of community engagement in heritage building conservation at Armenian Street, George Town.
