9M PPOTA · Malaysia

Propose a New 9M PPOTA Reference

Trace a place on the map, fill in the details, and generate a ready-to-send submission template for the 9M PPOTA Country Manager.

Before you start - eligibility checklist: PPOTA only accepts towns, places, and historic sites of cultural interest - historic towns, heritage villages, monuments, archaeological sites, and similar places.

  • Accepted: historic towns, heritage villages, historic districts, archaeological sites, cultural heritage monuments, royal towns, natural heritage places.
  • Excluded: modern commercial buildings, non-historic parks, and restricted private properties without public access.
  • Criteria: fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, associated with rural areas, and built in 1999 or earlier.
  • Public access: the site must be reachable by the public (free, paid, or permit). Personal-invitation-only access is not eligible.
  • Coordinates: must point to the monument or the center of the historic town (the tool handles this automatically using the polygon centroid).

📏 Step 1: Trace the place on the Map

Switch on Measure Mode, then click points around the town or historic site boundary. Double-click (or click Finish) to close the polygon. The tool will calculate the surface area and pick a reference coordinate at the site centroid.

Click the button, then trace a place boundary on the map below.
