“…The challenges of urbanisation became evident with increased migration from rural areas, driven by the search for a new lifestyle. The World Health Organization (hereafter WHO), advocating for the Active Cities Initiative since 1986 [6,8], underscores the importance of maintaining a healthy city environment. A healthy environment yields social, economic, and environmental benefits, but assessing whether cities have effectively translated policy rhetoric into tangible improvements in urban living standards remains crucial.…”

“…The below statement broadens the definition of an active city, incorporating elements beyond traditional physical exercise [6]. It introduces another perspective, framing an active city as a living entity with cultural richness, events, and communal engagement: "To me, an active city is a dynamic ecosystem where infrastructure integrates with the needs and aspirations of its residents.…”

“…[Interviewee XXIV] The definitions provided add to the existing literature domains by supporting the notion of a city that provides a healthier living. Some confirmed that an active city goes beyond physical exercise [6], emphasising cultural liveliness and recreational opportunities as essential elements. The study's results validate existing research exploring facets of urban social sustainability linked to an active city's defining characteristics, as expounded by Edwards and Tsouros [27].…”

In any city, various social groups coexist and need to have a harmonious symbiosis and optimise how people experience the city. The notion of urban planning incorporates positive city development that is active, socially sustainable, and inclusive. This study aims to identify whether the development of the Mediterranean city of Limassol, Cyprus extends to cover the needs of people with disabilities (PwD), residents, and tourists, emphasising physical impairments regarding the facilities and services provided. Limassol, Cyprus is an interesting case because recent developments aim to establish the city as a friendly living space with varied activities and services. Additionally, the city attracts tourists, and such development can be a competitive advantage as a tourism destination. Semi-structured interviews with PwD have been conducted to analyse their views, aiming to identify the extent to which existing infrastructure and services align with an inclusive model within the framework of sustainability, encompassing the notion of an active city. According to the findings, local government via municipal and tourism authorities should consider inclusivity in all aspects when re-developing urban settings by ensuring accessibility for PwD and offering more services that adhere to the requirements of an active, socially sustainable, and inclusive city.

“…In addition, such critical adjustment on heritage education issues could be linked throughout assessing the impact for tourism and sustainability. As a result, the potential value would give a sufficient description to demonstrate that the effectiveness of teaching the subject of history is contingent upon the planning and quality of history teachers who exemplify personal, social, and professional qualities [23,24]. At this point, the students would need to acquire basic knowledge, particularly about Malaysia's early history, in enabling them to conduct the field study of the Bujang Valley archaeological site.…”

This article aims to analyse the importance of a field study of the Bujang Valley archaeological site in Kedah among students in the context of reinforcing heritage education. This study involved 400 university students who were randomly selected. A questionnaire instrument was used to elicit feedback, including the respondents' background, knowledge about Bujang Valley, knowledge about a guided tour of the exhibition gallery, knowledge about a guided tour of the archaeological site, knowledge about a demonstration technique and an archaeological excavation method, and knowledge about a field study of the archaeological site. The findings indicate that conducting the field study via activities during the guided tour of the exhibition galleries at the Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum (MALB) and the Hindu-Buddhist temple site is highly effective in enhancing heritage education. Indeed, it was able to impart knowledge about the significance of Bujang Valley to students enrolled in higher learning institutions (Mean=3.67 to Mean=5.00). Knowledge about Bujang Valley between education-based (UPSI) and non-education-based (UKM) students was equivalent, and there was no difference in any of the five variables (p> .05). This study is supposed to contribute in assisting the demonstration technique and archaeological excavation method crucial in reinforcing students' knowledge of the value of conservation and preservation of national heritage sites. Hence, the field study of the archaeological site and historical place needs to continue at higher learning institutions to further reinforce students' knowledge about the history and heritage of the country.
