Abstract


Abstrak 

Di Sabah, produk pelancongan berasaskan warisan megalitik kurang popular berbanding produk pelancongan alam semula jadi. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mendedahkan satu prospek produk arkeopelacongan berasaskan warisan megalitik yang terdapat di Long Pasia. Kewujudan tapak megalitik di Long Pasia merupakan warisan kaum Lundayeh. Namun keadaan tapak adalah terbiar dan memerlukan perhatian serius daripada pelbagai pihak untuk tujuan pemuliharaan dan pemeliharaan. Sejak tahun 2005, beberapa tapak megalitik telah dikaji dan didokumentasikan oleh para penyelidik dan pelajar Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) dengan kerjasama Jabatan Warisan Negara, Kuala Lumpur. Kajian yang dilakukan adalah berasaskan kaedah survei lapangan dan dokumentasi ke atas tapak terpilih. Hasil kajian mendapati tapak megalitik di Long Pasia berpotensi untuk tujuan arkeopelancongan. Kajian ini penting sebagai rujukan pengetahuan mengenai kewujudan tapak warisan megalitik di Long Pasia dan panduan untuk tujuan membangun arkeopelancongan di Long Pasia.

Abstrak 

In Sabah, the megalithic heritage-based tourism products are less popular than natural-based tourism products. This paper aims to reveal a prospect of megalithic heritage-based archeotourism products found in Long Pasia. The existence of megalithic sites in Long Pasia is the heritage of the Lundayeh people. Yet the condition of these sites is derelict and requires serious attention from various parties for conservation and preservation purposes. Since 2005, several megalithic sites have been studied and documented by researchers and students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in collaboration with the National Heritage Department, Kuala Lumpur. The study was based on field survey methods, and site documentation on selected sites. The results of the study found that megalithic sites in Long Pasia have potential for archeotourism purposes. This study is important as a knowledge reference on the existence of megalithic heritage sites in Long Pasia, and a guide for the purpose of developing archeotourism in Long Pasia
