It focuses on explaining how the villagers actively play their roles in the neighborhood in social and cultural processes within the new environment and physical space. The appropriate data found in the field is analyzed accordingly to the research questions by employing a qualitative approach. The work suggests that cultural identity has changed in these two urban villages as a result of the influence of external values promoting the redefinition and redesign of public and social space. Besides, it also finds that delegitimization of the identity of Kampung and communality dislocation has occurred due to tourism purposes. The new formulation of the Kampung does not only reflect the emergence of new ideology and tradition but also stimulate resistance, conflict, and negotiation.
