[ Abstract ] Kenyir Lake is located at Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu.

Even though it is a man-made lake Kenyir Lake is rich with natural flora and fauna resources. It has been people favourite location for fishing activities and also the resources also the main income for the local people. Which is the aquaculture product. The aquaculture product is the freshwater fish that has been branded as Red Kenyir (Red Tilapia). However the product was not a huge success for the producer which are the Lembaga Kemajuan Terengganu Tengah (KETENGAH) and also the Department of Fisheries Hulu Terengganu. Thus, part of the design thesis will focus on how to improve the economic and also the social stability in this suburban Kenyir Lake with tourism. In addition the aquaculture resources are important to the locals for decades. Moreover with environment issues at Kenyir Lake as the ecosystem of the environment has been disturb because of the human greed due to their overfishing without any counter measures and water logging activities. Thus, the objectives of this study are; to educate and create awareness of aquaculture issues, to propose spaces for aquaculture tourism, and to improve economic and social stability in suburban Kenyir Lake. Therefore, the methodologies applied to achieve the objectives are interview, observations, literature review and case studies.

This methodologies will help to build up the needs of the design for the desired proposed solution for the building programme. Kenyir Lake needs the aid of the aquaculture tourism to utilise the unique and potential of its natural resources to the optimum as it will benefits to the locals and the environment itself.

[what is aquaculture ?]

Aquaculture by definition is the farming of organisms in an aquatic environment, inclusive of culturing fish, molluscs and aquatic plants, in a fresh, marine or brackish environment (Pillay and Kutty, 2005; Stickney, 2005; El-Sayed, 2006). Thus, in this design thesis the species that will be focused is primary on Tilapia species. In Tasik Kenyir Tilapia species have been branded as Red Kenyir that targeted to be the primary aquaculture production from Kenyir’s lake. The practices of aquaculture in Tasik Kenyir is through fish cage farming located at Sg. Como in Tasik Kenyir. The location are under Zon Industri Akuakultur (ZIA) and supervised by The Department of Fisheries Hulu Terengganu. This thesis highlights some of the issues and treat to the lake and proposal for a sustainable management of its aquaculture in providing a balance development that protect the biodiversity of Lake Kenyir while promoting ecotourism for the both economic and social welfare of the locals through architectural intervention.

[what is ecotourism ?]

Ecotourism is often perceived as a tool for promoting sustainable management of the country’s natural resources whilst providing social and economic benefits.

As a concept, it gains support mainly for its contribution to environmental conservation, cultural preservation and economic values. Kenyir Lake and its surrounding rainforest is home to a rich diversity of species and supports a community of indigenous people, the Orang Asli, who depend heavily on the region’s natural products and ecosystem services. Meanwhile, aquaculture involves utilization of natural resources such as clean water, vast tracks of land, feed materials and fertilizers to produce desirable products with simultaneous production of organic and chemical wastes. However, uncontrolled tourism, excessive logging and poaching, overlapping policies and management issues are some of the factors that could potentially harm the area and diminish Lake Kenyir as a potential sustainable ecotourism destination.

[Kenyir Lake ecosystem background] From an environment perspective and consequent to the physical, cultural and historical background of Tasik Kenyir, ecosystem needs should be recognized equally alongside domestic, industrial and agricultural demand on water resource, The whole of Terengganu can be divided into a number of major ecosystem; namely, the hill and forest ecosystems, the river valleys and riverine ecosystems and the coastal ecosystems. Each of these ecosystem require water to maintain their functions: i. e. plants evaporate and transpire water; animals need water to survive; fish and amphibians live in the water; and wetlands, floodplains and mangroves need water to maintain a natural dynamic diversity of species

[Design Thesis issues] In order to create a sustainable way on improving eco-tourism and aquaculture farming in Kenyir Lake thare are several issues cocerning the environment, economy and social issues that must be tackle.

[Environmental issues] Over-exploitation and habitat degradation, as an example, that have depleted the stocks and reduced the replacement rate in the population (Khan et al., 1996).

Jackson & Marmulla (2001) reported an annual catch of 720 metric tonnes in Kenyir Lake. This figure was calculated based on Yusoff et al. (1995) However, the latest estimated fish production by the Department of Fisheries Malaysia in 2007 was only 105.13 tonnes.

An important ecosystem safety measure is very important that especially fish species. The health of water bodies is reflected based on abundance health of the fish (Hamzah, 2007).

Habitat degradation, effluent release of high organic material, pollution of the marine habitat of pesticides, eutrophication, disease outbursts, consequences of escape from the native and diminishing habitats are the negative effects correlated with aquaculture in particular with Intensive Systems and and degradation of biodiversity.

Therefore, Ecological approach based on the efficient use of energy sources along the food chain with suitable microbial loop to process the wastes is one viable option to ensure that the aquaculture venture is commercially viable and sustainable.

[Economy issues] Terengganu has many beautiful places to explore. Most local or foreign visitors don’t realize that Terengganu still offers unique gateways. Nevertheless, the resources at Tasik are also used for farming the freshwater fish at Aquaculture zone in Sg. Como. However, the aquaculture product did not reach the production target that have been set up by the Department of Fisheries of Hulu Terengganu, which are 400 metric tan per annum and now only reach up to 200 metric tan per annum from 2007. The reason are that they are on low production, not well maintain facilities and low on resources. This could harm the production sales of the product. Whilst, these could harm the income of the vendors and workers that the aquaculture industries are initially to be the local source of income.

[Social issues] Social engagement at aquaculture zone In Sg. Como, Tasik Kenyir are very low. This is due to the location are isolated from other communities. In the area of 300 hectares there are only 10- 15 people who are staying and working. The people that can only access the aquaculture zones are only the workers, buyers and researchers or the authorities. The isolation could cause the workers to be in anxiety.

Aquaculture Tourism at Sg. Como

Tasik Kenyir seems to be unlived owing to its small tourist area, notwithstanding an abundance of natural resources and a great number of places to discover. This geographical environment is massive and there is little mobility from location to position. Several groups, such as the elderly, kids and certain family members are not able to visit and take advantage of Tasik Kenyir’s vast natural resources. It can thus be developed as a Dynamic Model Eco-tourism System (Eco-TSD) framework that includes economic, environmental and ecological systems to meet the underlying risks, opportunities and effects of environmental and development practice.

[Lake Kenyir]

[Development of Lake Kenyir]

Lake Kenyir is located at the heart of Terengganu state, which is in Hulu Terengganu district. The lake is the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia that the water catchment area are 38000 hectares with more than 340 island in the area. Kenyir river gives the attribution in naming the Kenyir Lake. However the river is now beneath the Kenyir’s lake as the rainfall and the surrounding water sources fill up the lake catchment area (Ramli,2009). In 1956-1970 archaeologist discovered some artefacts that come from the civilization of Neolithic era in Lake Kenyir. The significant discoveries of stone tools and axes by archiologist at Gua Bewah and Batu Tok Bidan are caves dating back to Neolithic era (Ramli, 2009).

The completion of the construction of Kenyir Lake dam was on 1985 with the first construction on 1961. The chronicle of the construction of the dam took nearly 15 years and was interrupted prior to low insistent and peremptory request along with high manufacturing costs.

The development of the construction of the dam then was continued on the early 1970s until completion date (Kentengah, 2014).

[Biodiversity of Lake Kenyir] Kenyir Lake is rich in biodiversity with variety living species, including plants, animals, bacteria and fungi that enhance and compliment the natural aesthetics.

Citation from Ramli (2009), there are about 800 orchid varieties, 2500 plant and arboreal varieties, 8000 flower species and more than 300 freshwater fish species.

There are also treasured wood species that were valuable towards the ecosystem such as Resak (Vatica spp), Meranti (Shorea albida), Neram (Dipterocarpus) and Kapur (Dryobalanops oblongifolia). With the native species such as Neram (Dipterocarprus), Giant yams, Pusan Hutan (Jungle banana), Perik Kera (Nepenthess spp), wild orchids and more that enlighten the jungle. Hence, Kenyir Lake is specified as one of the richest biodiversity in Malaysia compared to other lake that located in Malaysia. Furthermore, Ramli (2009) had mentioned in his studies that the amount of butterflies in Malaysia is more than 100 species, birds such as pigeons, eagles, hornbills etc. with 370 species and 200 species of animals as well as 9 other endangered species (Ramli, 2009). Finally, the weather of Kenyir Lake that is cool and humid is very suitable for wildlife animals’ habitat.

Thus, people also seems to favourite the lake because of its environment and weather making it a favourable tourist destination especially to nature lovers.

[Tenth Malaysia Plan] One of the fundamental key of the Tenth Malaysia Plan was environmental value (1 0MP,2010). This subject is designed to protect areas rich in natural biodiversity such as Lake Kenyir. Areas such as Lake Kenyir are rich in natural biodiversity as a major contributor to the country’s economic growth. Furthermore, after the Kenyir Lake was appointed as one of the eco-tourism destination in Malaysia, this place will be utilized and maximized for the real potential of the tourism industry such as Langkawi Geo-park. The enormous development of Geo-park in Malaysia shows that it is the main tourist attractions in the Northern Corridor of Malaysia.

With the rank of 54th in the Environmental Performance Index that was specified by Yale University and Columbia out of 163 countries for industry environmental performance measurement, it shows the importance of how the eco-tourism in Malaysia will affect the environment towards the habitat biodiversity. Furthermore, as mentioned and described in 10MP, there should not be any compromise towards the sustainability of the natural habitat in the growth of the Malaysian tourism industry under the opportunity in promoting ecotourism to develop commercial value that has been strategically outlined in the 10MP (10MP, 2010). Moreover, the development of ecotourism in this area will encourage the growth of understanding in numerous area of flora and fauna that encourage the engagement of the respective community towards socio-economic tourism and education.

As a result, the redevelopment of Kenyir Lake should be conduct in positive manner that could enhance the surrounding settings and its natural resources. It is everyone’s responsibility in carrying the Malaysia Plan while preserving the biodiversity of the area for future generations that compatible with sustainable development.

[Estern Cost Economic Region (ECER)]

[Terengganu State Structure Plan]

Regarding 9th Malaysia Plan (9MP), balanced provincial growth and measured development in selected region has been initiated and introduced by the government such as Iskandar Corridor, Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) Sabah Development Corridor (SDC), The Sarawak Renewable Energy Corridor (SCORE) and the Eastern Cost Economic Region (ECER). The vision and mission of 9th Malaysia Plan has been carried out by ECER Malaysia that cover few stated in Malaysia including Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Johor specifically in Mersing. The balance regional development is basically concentrate on the oil and gas, agricultural, tourism and educational industries. According to ECER, areas that are rich with natural biodiversity will becoming a key industrial area and act as an important economic group.

Hence, Kuala Terengganu City Centre (KTCC), Dungun and Kenyir are regarded as Terengganu’s triangle area for 9th Malaysia Plan where the targeted area Kenyir Lake is located. Nevertheless, the development of Kenyir Lake is one of the marked area that will give positive contribution towards the significance of economic growth of the provincial growth. Therefore, to achieve Kenyir Lake as tourism attraction, further development still need to be considered in increasing the local and foreign tourist amount annually in assist the targeted economic growth.

The basis and management growth plan of the state development has been considered and conducted in few studies by the State Government for the last twenty-five years. The issues will be developed according to the needs of the selected area where the tourism department is considered as one of the important sector that playing part in economy growth of the country. Furthermore, Kenyir Lake is one of the attraction place that need to be promoted and aimed to develop as an eco-tourism area as mentioned in TSP in 2006 (TSP, 2006). This leads to the government resolution in tourism management with development strategies of the respected area that contain natural habitat and ecological biodiversity.

Hence, the enhancement of tourism facilities need to be implemented in introducing fresh ideas such as the expansion of new goods, development of tourist basic facilities, and bold and dynamic marketing production need to be provided. The growth of the tourism sector need to be reorganized and improved in the terms of the elements that need to be considered which could positively contribute to the state government through repositioning and rebranding in promoting eco-tourism in Malaysia where it is potentially engage more tourist into the area. Other than that, contribution by the on site development is through various local production that focus on the tourism sector such as educational tourism, eco-tourism, medical tourism, sports tourism and cultural heritage tourism. Furthermore, the promising land of Kenyir Lake that rich with natural habitat and its ecosystem is potentially to be a centre for education through research activities and can equip as a place for physical activities that can be included with mountains, waterfalls and the reservoir as a component that will be compatible with extreme sports. Reported by Chairman’s Report National Audit in 2011, the promotion programme in Kenyir Lake gives major environmental changes towards the tourism sector since the promotion of the development strategies in 2006 such as Kenyir International Rainforest Challenge, Kenyir International Mountain Bike Challenge, Kenyir Lake International Triathlon, Kenyir International Motocross Challenge and Kenyir Festival (Chairman’s Report National Audit, 2011). Towards 2014, the tourism sector in Lake Kenyir have been promoted that exceed the targeted economic growth of the state.

[Special Area Plan (Kenyir)] Hulu Terengganu geographical area is surrounded mostly with forestry and agricultural areas. This leads to the greater improvement through local economy in achieving the timber and forest import and export production supply. These materials can bring positive aspects in country’s economic sector and support the SME sectors such as furniture and timber production for domestic and international markets. Furthermore, this area is potentially to gain advantage for the growth of the development of the community centres that will aid in providing the education and urban tourism that covers Kenyir Lake area (TSP, 2006). Hence, this generate Kenyir Lake as one of the Top Tourist Destination in Central Asia that comprise with the main growth of Kenyir Lake with reinforced roles and capacity as a tourist attraction under the Special Area Plan (SAP) in 2010 in the following aspects; i.

Rearrange the function and role of Kenyir Lake

Local Tourism Centre into a primary Tourist

Centre with variation of activities to be provided; ii.

The opportunity of Kenyir Lake’s strength and

potential of eco-tourism to be considered; iii.

As a tourist centre, Lake Kenyir is continuing to

compete with other similar tourist centers in Asia.

For 2020 plan based on the Draft Special Area Plan of Lake Kenyir (2010), Lake Kenya will be divided into the Pengkalan Gawi Tourism Centre, the Kenyir One Service Center, the Forest and Farming Reserve and the Basong Village Center as well as the Institutional Centre. The development will soon be completed in the direction of the project with numerous facilities, such as resort, hotel, cable car and the Public Transportation Terminal.

The natural ecosystem of Lake Kenyir would be impacted by increased construction of Lake Kenyir to accomplish the country and state government ‘s dream and goal of rising economic growth. The development of Kenyir Lake with proper planning and strategies for the sustainable use of natural resources for future generations. Without proper administration and monitoring on regular basis of Kenyir Lake development, the Lake Kenyir’s development will harm the surrounding area which will effect Kenyir Lake biodiversity.

[Aquaculture Activities] Aquaculture, the farming of animals and plants in aquatic environment, declining fish production and relief pressure on marine resources are becoming an important industry around the world. The world’s aquaculture output is more than 10% annually relative to 1.5% capture and 3% livestock production (FAO , 2001). The rapid growth of aquaculture in the recent years involved small-scale ventures as well as large-scale enterprises; from low value crops for local consumption to high value products for international markets, which contributes significantly to foreign currency earning. The growth is expected to continue with Asian region contributing approximately 90% of the world’s aquaculture production (FAO, 2001). Aquaculture industry, which involves different techniques for hundreds of fish species and aquatic invertebrates, has great potential for the increase in production of food, health and cosmetic products, as well as alleviation of poverty, and generation of wealth for nations with vast water-bodies. While the mode of processing is vary from area to area, based on crop species cultured and related environmental conditions, the use of the natural resources and the use of biological processes are both depends on the forms of aquaculture. This includes utilizing resources like clean water and extensive property, feedstuffs and fertilizers in order to generate goods which are attractive while at the same time could produce and reuse the agricultural waste and chemicals. Such agricultural waste, which is an unintended product of the practices of aquaculture, will not be detrimental because it can be treated and successfully incorporated into the global food chain.

Aquaculture brief history: • The massive polyculture of Chinese carps in former mining pools began in 1920’s.

• Navy trapping ponds in the mid 1930s.

• Blood cockle production in the early 40’s.

• In the mid-1950s, extensive cultivation in earthen ponds of freshwater fish.

• Semi-intensive shrimp production in the early 1970s.

• Commercial aquaculture (fish and shrimp hatcheries establishing private feed mills). In the 1980s, commercial aquaculture was introduced.

• Integrated shrimp farms (from hatchery to plant processing and export) on the commercial scale of the 1990’s.

• Priority in 2000 on consumer protection and the control of fish welfare from source to source.

Roles of Aquaculture • Loss of the gap between supply and demand for fresh fish (National Food Safety) • Less fish capture strain, • Building foreign exchange profits, • Providing work and professional development; • Diversify the farming & farmers’ alternate income; • Create incentives for business and innovation.

Commercial Aquaculture Species: Freshwater aquaculture: • Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.), • Catfish (Clarius sp., Pangassius sp.), • Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii).

[Aquaculture Industrial Zone (AIZ) in Lake Kenyir] The Aquaculture Industrial Zone (AIZ) is designated as a land and water zone for commercial aquaculture projects granted by the state Government. There are currently 49 sites across Malaysia covering over 28000 hectares. Aquaculture Industrial Zone in Lake Kenyir are located at Sg. Como which premises 2800 hectares. The zone is under supervisions Department of Fisheries Hulu Terengganu. The aim of the program are to increase the production of aquaculture product in Sg. Como. In addition the related bodies in the program are Terengganu’s PPRT under E-kasih, ICU and JPM. This is to reduce the poverty among local.

The project component are hatchery, farming, infrastructure, settlement, quality control and processing of aquaculture production..

Chronology of AIZ in Sg. Como • 2006: Phase 1. construction of 200 cages unit • 2007: Launch by former Prime Minister at SK Tapah, Hulu Terengganu under program “High Impact Project” (HIP) – RMK-9 • 2008: Terengganu Agrotech Development Corporation (TADC) Sdn. Bhd. Positioned as an Anchor compoany.

• 2009: Less resources and workforce from (TADC) allowing the cage to be rent to the individual or compony • 2012: (TADC) handover to DOF (department of fisheries) • 2012 – present: Open tender to individual and compony. While dividend scheme still proceed.

Advantages in Aquaculture Development • Strategic location: In strategic location in central South-East Asia, Malaysia is an important manufacturer, marketing and trade country in fish and fish products State. State.

• Good climatic condition: The country is highly conducive to aquaculture and fishing, because the climate is good and free from natural disasters.

• Blessed with abundant fisheries resources: Malaysia has plenty of fish supplies and can support a broad variety of fishing operations and plenty of raw materials. Nearly 2,0 million tons of fish were produced in the nation in 2012, comprising 1,47 million tons of wildfish and 637,517 tons of aquaculture products, including seaweed.

• Strong Government backup: The national agro-food agenda (2011-2020) and the national economic development plan offer good impetus for government funding.

As part of policy policies for rising food supply for the domestic market, enhancing trade balance and growing exports, deep-sea fishing and aquaculture is established by policy.

[ Impacts of Aquaculture Practices on the environment] The Department of Fisheries statistics show that the increase in aquaculture production is due to the boost of a few species, mainly from pond and cage aquaculture.

Thus, the severity of impacts on the environment would roughly mirror the production tonnage. In addition, all the nvironmental impacts of aquaculture are dependent on the sensitivity and type of a particular ecosystem as well as the type of farm practice. The amount of aquaculture wastes and thus their impacts on the environment are closely related to the culture method, cultured species, feedtype and farm management practices. Because processes mimic the energy distribution observed in natural ecological structures, environmental impacts linked to comprehensive industrialized processes are deemed negligible. On the other hand, high rates of storage require high loading of allochthonous feed materials, fertilizers and drugs in semi-intensive and intensive cultivation systems. In addition, high stocking rates also results in high metabolic waste, such as ammonia from the cultured organisms (Shishehchian et al., 1999).

20

Aquaculture Tourism at Sg. Como

The Department of Fisheries statistics show that the the cultured organisms (Shishehchian et al., 1999). Due to huge amount of capital needed to ensure clean discharge, most aquaculture operators in the country do not treat waste-waters before discharge.

Those humidity ecosystems are highly fragile such as mangroves, estuaries, grasslands, coral reefs and dungeons, notably where interventions have surpassed the carrying ability of the eco-system. However, carriage capacity is poorly known in various ecosystems so that the trend is common in most environments to exceed the upper limit. Habitat destruction, effluent release of high organic ingredients, chemical contamination in aquatic environments, eutrophication, diseases outbreaks, effects of exotic species and biodiversity reduction, all have adverse effects associated with aquaculture, in particular the intensive systems.

[ Uncontrolled Tourism] Over the last 5 years , nearly 20,000 visitors have visited Kenyir to engage over hunting, sight-watching, hiking, bird-watching or jungle-trekking, a number that continues to rise every year (Figure 2). The lake harbours waterfalls, the Lasir waterfall and the calcareous cave including the Bewah Cave and Taat Cave, are the most prominent of them. The Kenyan Lake is also a popular fishing area. Uncontrolled tourism and fishing might, however, destroy historic places, fish and their ecosystems, rendering Kenyan Lake an ecotourism attraction to create. Zwirn et al. (2005) stated that, if the place was practiced and managed carelessly, recreational and sport fishing could actually lead to overexploitation. It becomes evident because 23 percent of recreational fishing also includes captures of protected species in the United States (Coleman et al., 2004). Hobby fishing can help to introduce and develop alien fish species in Malaysia since attractive fish are sometimes stored to generate new fishing opportunities (Khairul Adha et al.

2013;Walton et al . 2016). For example , in the early 1990-ies irresponsible anglers brought Chicla ocellaris into the man-made lake of the former sports fishing mining area in the Peninsula of Malaysia (Khairul Adha, 2006).

Indigenous knowledge and sustainable practices are important to retain because they can be an attraction in the area around Kenyr Lake. Yet through interaction among indigenous communities and visitors threatens to erode their traditional lifestyle. Orang Asli ‘s business status can be improved by tourism. Tzu-Ming and Dau-Jye (2014) however suggested the change in the traditional social mechanisms of the native tribes in new economic revenue and tourism. Merlan (1998 ) noted that the approaches utilized by indigenous communities are evolving owing to the intervention of visitors with their cultural values. Merlan (1998) also noted, when the visitors clash with their cultural practices, that the usage of natural resources by aboriginal communities is increasing. At the other side, the increasing number of visitors will cause them to rely upon tourism occupations, such as tour guides and boaters, thus altering their conventional way of living. These changes can lead to the deterioration and deterioration of traditional knowledge.

[ Biological Threats] Modern aquaculture, biological management, aquarium industry and stock enhancement fish species were developed and in Malaysia exotic alien species spilled (Reusink 2005; Walton et al . 2016). The primary causes of extending and translocating by aquaculture and enhanced supplies in Malaysia and maintaining themselves in biodiversity is Khairul Adha et al . ( 2013).

Animals have adapt to a broad variety of environmental conditions. The alien species could adversely affect indigenous ecosystems and should be avoided at all costs.

Walton et al . , ( 2016) notes that Gambussian afinies, implemented as means of minimizing the spread of Dengu fever over the last few years (Lavinia 2015), posed a challenge to the survival of Kenyan indigenous species by means of tropical rivalry, rivalry for intervention and predation against others, to the management of mosquito-borne diseases (ghosh and dash, 2007). Future commercial fishing and access to sport fishing can be affected through direct predation on the eggs and young individuals of important native species such as Tinfoil barb, Barbonymus Schwanenfeldii and Hampala barb, Hampala macrolepidota.

[ Other Threats] The creation of the Sultan Mahmud Hydro Electric Power Plant which later created Kenyir Lake may have given negative impacts on local community. In addition to the creation of the new dam in the upper stream of Sungai Terengganu which intended to increase and improve electricity output (The Star, 2010), fish species may have significantly decrease and affect the native species. Karim and Mansor (2013) reported that about 40% of fish’s availability and species diversity is reduced due to the affect of the dam in the Temenggor Lake area. The native species in Kenyir Lake may be affected and reduce in numbers. The prestige of Kenyir Lake as angler’s heaven could be damaged and lead to loss of tourists and profits.

[ chapter 2: output of the chapter] As tourism in the Kenyir Lake, its flora and fauna and indigenous cultural heritage are significant. In order to maintain the sustainability of its diverse ecosystem, sustainable practices in Kenyir region is important. It is important to prevent unregulated deforestation, wildlife and tourism and aquaculture that can have an adverse effect on the ecology of Kenyir Lake.

In Malaysia, the aquaculture industry is essential for food production, and it may minimize fishing pressure on wild stocks, but, to avoid negative environmental impacts it should be strictly regulated. Aquaculture has a high quality aquaculture product in view of its natural environment and is one way of contributing to the economy of Lake Kenyir. In order to reduce pressure on wild stocks and bring economic and social benefits to locals, the commercialization of aquaculture of native fish species should be established. Aquaculture can also be an interesting ecotourism destination which has brought to light the resources of Lake Kenyr and thus enables tourists to understand the importance of sustainable practices and to promote and market aquaculture products on Lake Kenyr more effectively. This also encourages understanding of what the environment of the area wants to survive. Finally, there must be documentation of fish in the area of the dam concerned and the reproduction of sensitive fish species.

Overall, ecotourism in Kenyir has great potential to be recognised at an international level, but numerous challenges must be addressed. Its potential as an ecotourism destination largely depends on natural resources and heritage. Based on the discussions presented, there is a need to integrate community, ecosystem and ecotourism in any development in Kenyir. As Lake Kenyir is rich with its aquaculture product, a facility which allow for the production of aquaculture products and at the same time support ecotourism industry, generate income for the community, and create awareness on the biodiversity of the lake will be support the overall intention of the state government. A sustainable architectural intervention which highlighted all the issues of Lake Kenyir will be a potential solution to the development of Lake Kenyir as an important tourist destination.

[ Site Location] The proposed site for Aquaculture eco-tourism programme is located at the Lake Kenyir, Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu. The best way getting to Tasik Kenyir is by daily flights Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and Air Asia from KLIA to Kuala Terengganu and rent a car or taxi to reach Tasik Kenyir. The simpliest route is by using Karak Highway until Kuantan. Then by using Jabor - Jerangau road or coastal road (Kemaman to K. Terengganu) until reaching Ajil before proceed to Tasik Kenyir. Travel distance between Kuala Terengganu to Tasik Kenyir is 70 kilometers which about 45 minutes travel duration.

Another alternative route to Tasik Kenyir is through the Simpang Pulai-Kuala Berang route through Gua Musang (Kelantan). It is roughly 76 kilometers to drive from Gua Musang to Tasik Kenyir within 55 minutes.

[ Site Analysis & Synthesis] Analysis: The wind path is one of the most important elements in Kenyir Lake, with an average speed of 8 km / H, as seen from North East to South West. The average minimum temperature is 24 ° C average and 32 ° C year-round with annual rainfall of 3482 mm a year.

Synthesis: To prevent excessive heat in the internal building space, the building openings should not be directed towards the East and the West.

The orientation of the building will allow air ventilation across the building. Temperature stability gives the passive architecture method adapted to the layout with good benefit. High precipitation volumes in Kenyir Lake area each year gives a good reason to implement rainwater harvesting into the building system.

Aquaculture Tourism at Sg. Como

[ Conclusion ] In conclusion, Aquaculture Tourism Centre at Sg. Como is not act only as a tourism centre at Lake Kenyir. The project also focus on environmental, social and economy to achieve a positive impact of the lake and its potential. As stated in chapter 1 that the environmental issues happened because of the over exploitation of fish in addition with the fish habitat being disturb because of the logging activities of “Balak Air� and answering the design thesis question which is on how to educate and create awareness of aquaculture issues. The Design of the project focus on educating the users with the implementation of the Melur Pier that provide addition shelter to the aquaculture species, especially the freshwater fish. By providing the addition shelter users can experience the fishing activities with control measures without disturbing the ecosystem, because this to avoid the over exploitation of fish without counter measures. Furthermore, with providing a design for the awareness to the people, such as exhibition space that exhibit about the aquaculture activities and history will provide more awareness to the people.

Economic also part of the focus of the project. As the answering the design thesis question on how to improve economic and social stability in suburban Kenyir Lake. Thus the project focuses also on aiding the production and distribution of the aquaculture product, which are mainly the Red Tilapia fish (Oreochromis). The Red Tilapia is the gems of Sg. Como. Therefore the product will process in a well manner from the fish cage to the distribution stage. In addition visitor also can see the all process of the production as they can experience and get to know the product of Kenyir Lake. Thus it will help to grow the brand of Kenyir Lake product from local to larger consumer, which that would be to international export.

Aquaculture exploration under and above the water are introduced in the building programme is to provide aquaculture tourism space to be experience for the visitor. Thus, the visitor can get to know more about the Kenyir Lake from the environment under the water of the Kenyir Lake which are rich with aquaculture species and also history of Kenyir Lake. Interaction with the locals people will also enlighten the surrounding social interactions. Therefore with a good environment, the programme will able to inject more knowledge and bring people closer to the Kenyir Lake history and culture. Therefore, the programme will allow to deliver the awareness to the people as they can reflect themselves to be more cautions and care to their surroundings.
