  Abstract
  This study investigates and identifies the urban design elements in Kampung Teluk Kecil, Pangkor Island, and an observation on the architecture and urban settlements of the area influenced by the Dutch colonizers. The study is conducted to approach the five main urban design elements namely path, edges, district nodes and landmarks. Through observation and open-ended interviews, the urban design elements were identified. Based on the findings, the case study is considered as inland water village where the linear dwelling patterns were built along the bay. Besides that, due to their scattered housing formation where the urban design pattern is known as disorientation. This study shows that urban design elements are not adopted since there is no proper design of urban planning. Therefore, an appropriate urban design method should be referred to as the future to improve the urban settlement of the village.
