| Summary: | The future of heritage buildings is seriously endangered due to rapid development, particularly in urban areas. Hence, identifying a heritage curtilage is essential to protect heritage items from future and uncontrolled development. Curtilage helps to safeguard all elements contributing to the heritage significance, conservation, and interpretation of a heritage item. This paper highlights the crucial importance of preserving the building and its curtilage situated along Leboh Ampang and Jalan Ampang, thereby ensuring the comprehensive conservation of the building and its immediate surroundings. Employing a mixed-methods approach, involving qualitative site observations and a quantitative survey through questionnaires, this study aligns with the New South Wales (NSW) Heritage Curtilages Guidelines to explore the curtilage of nineteen selected heritage buildings as proposed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH) along Leboh Ampang and Jalan Ampang. The research findings exemplify the practical application of General Principles to heritage trail buildings, thereby enhancing recognition and emphasis on the paramount significance of conserving the buildings and their associated curtilage. © 2024 by authors, all rights reserved.
