became homestay facilities does not change the original building houses. – conservation of old buildings

• Facilities which developed into a homestay facility (bed rooms, a common room and bathroom) using the room in a renovated old building to achieve the standards of hygiene and comfort for guests.

• Addition of the building is not much done. Most are only done on the facade of the building to show the identity of a more comfortable home.

• The use of common space between the host and guest becomes the main attraction, because guests do not feel separate and can interact directly. – conservation of the indigenous local community lifestyle
