A study on the design strategies of Fish Landing Jetty Complexes in Malaysia to enhance the efficiency of the building

Abstract

Malaysia has a booming and successful fishery development. Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia Complexes (LKIM) are located in every state of Malaysia to function as a fish landing jetty complex to allow fishing vessels for fish handling operations. However, the design and facility of Fish Landing Jetty Complexes in Malaysia are not up to date even though the fishery development contribute to Malaysia’s economy. Proper facilities and design strategies of fish landing jetty will ensure that fish handling operations work efficiently and enhance the fishery development in Malaysia. In this research, the design components and facilities of fish landing jetty complexes are studied for determining the design strategies of fish landing jetty complexes in Malaysia to enhance the efficiency of the building itself. In this research, a few precedent study and survey questionnaire had been conducted as a research methodology to review and compare the design components and facility of the precedent studies. Besides, the survey questionnaire is to collect the data and their opinion from the general public and users of the Fish Landing Jetty Complex to understand their satisfaction and expectation towards the current condition of the Fish Landing Jetty Complex in Malaysia. There are 41% of respondents are stated that majority of the Fish Landing Jetty Complexes in Malaysia are unsuccessful in achieving the efficiency of the fish landing process. The design strategies of Fish Landing Jetty Complex should consider on the working flow diagram of fish landing. Application of mechanical quay-side lifting winches, built-in conveyor system, rainwater harvesting system and solar energy able to increase the efficiency of the building. It is important to apply the commercial and public recreation spaces inside a Fish Landing Jetty Complex to sustain longer and produce revenue to the building.
