Abstract

In order to bring the reduction of damage and defect of heritage buildings, the management needs to use an suitable methodology approach for the element heritage building. The goal of this paper is to make the selection of criteria and attribute by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for heritage building. The selection of criteria and attributes for heritage building are divided into three criteria which are building the structure, building fabric, and building service. By pairwise comparison matrix, the process of selection for criteria and attribute to to enable possible improvements. This finding has shown that all element criteria and attributes in heritage building are important with their function.

Highlights

Introduction and literature reviewThe conservation of heritage buildings was initiated by the government and the private sector in Malaysia [1]
The vector of priorities is the principal eigenvector of the matrix, priorities are calculated from pairwise comparisons using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) manual calculation with eigenvector method
The medium priorities are air condition with 27.9% and fire protection with 13.9% and the lowest is sanitary with 5.7%. The value of these priority vector is extremely high for small values of importance from 0.525 to 0.057, meaning that the results show attribute electric more importance than other attributes

Summary

Introduction

The conservation of heritage buildings was initiated by the government and the private sector in Malaysia [1]. The establishment of the National Heritage Department in 2006 has shown the government's efforts to appreciate heritage buildings in Malaysia.
