Integration of Ecological Architecture Principles in the Design of Sustainable Fishermen's Settlement Facilities and Infrastructure
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background. Fishermen's settlements are coastal residential areas with different spatial, social, economic, and environmental characteristics than other residential areas. Because fishing communities depend on marine resources, residential facilities and infrastructure should be designed with visibility of fishery activities, coastal environmental conditions, space needs, and the risk of ecological damage in mind.
Aims. This article aims to formulate an approach to designing fishermen's settlement facilities and infrastructure based on ecological architecture by integrating functional needs, environmental characteristics, and sustainability principles.
Methods. The study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach in the framework of architectural design research. Based on the design document, the methodological stages include observation, interviews, literature studies, and analysis of human, environmental, and building aspects.
Result. The conceptual synthesis shows that fishermen's settlement patterns can be classified into linear, grouped, and mixed patterns influenced by geographical conditions, economic, socio-cultural, infrastructure, and disaster risk. The integration of ecological architecture focuses on zoning arrangements, optimizing natural lighting and ventilation, using materials suited to the local environment, managing water and waste, and strengthening the relationship between housing and fishery activity facilities. This article contributes a conceptual design framework that connects the needs of fishing communities with ecological adaptation strategies for coastal areas.
Conclusion. This framework can serve as a basis for developing functional, environmentally responsive, and sustainability-oriented fishing settlement designs. Empirical evaluation of the design's performance is still needed to test the effectiveness of its implementation.
