Abstract

This project is about accentuating a new waterfront attraction at Kuala Perlis. The place is facing several issues such as 1) there are a lot of dull public spaces with a lack of facilities, 2) no proper linkages and sense of direction from one place to another to guide visitors, and 3) No reflection of local identity as fisherman village. Therefore, this project aims to revive this place by enhancing the image of the Waterfront and unifying the spaces within Kuala Perlis. There are three (3) objectives of this study which are to provide vibrant places for leisure and tourism activities promote the identity of Kuala Perlis as well as the International Transit Hub, to induce uniqueness into the design of the commercial area that will generate the local economy and to enhance the waterfront connectivity that links all the sites and promotes pedestrian-friendly environment. A few methods were adopted to achieve the objectives, 1) study on the waterfront tourism, 2) inventory checklist for Kuala Perlis, and 3) observation during the site visit. The data has been analysed to enhance waterfront public realms, waterfront trading centers, and accessibility of the area. Design improvement was developed based on the results during the site visit and the desk study. Thus, appropriate design elements are proposed that enhance the area's identity, which could promote the sustainability of Kuala Perlis.
