Abstract

Addressing the design issues of community fish markets involves making necessary changes to meet contemporary preferences. This research aims to identify and address issues related to design and layout efficiency, cleanliness, and accessibility to propose viable recommendations that improve the overall functionality and user experience of community fish markets. The study focused on two case studies for primary data collection: Sungai Udang Fish Market and Sungai Batu Fish Market. Data collection methods included visual observation and a questionnaire survey, with descriptive analysis performed based on the results of these observations and surveys. Major findings recommend that the design prioritise spatial efficiency, cleanliness, and safety to create a welcoming and functional fish market. The layout should be optimised for user needs, and adequate waste management and sanitation infrastructure should be implemented to maintain a hygienic environment. Effective design strategies and improvements in facilities will not only elevate the user experience but also contribute positively to the economic growth and development of the fishery sector in Malaysia. Future research can consider the design of contemporary fish markets that cater to the needs of urban populations within urban centres in Malaysia.
