The clan jetties locating the traditional fishing villages is one of the important contributing factor for the overall urban planning in Penang. After the modern port were built in the 1970s only clan 6 jetties out of 12 remained exist on the waterfront. The information were collected through survey, observation, interview, simulation, internet, etc. The study found that the planning patterns of the fishing villages waterfront is an outward water village concept. The clan jetties can be easily recognized by the visitors because of its well-planning. However, sadly the traditional uses, and culture of the clan jetties communities are now affected by the impact of growing tourism and commercialization. Finding from this research shows that mostly the developed and successful cities were once started from a fishing village that grows into a port area. A well-planned of urban design elements plays an important roles to ensure sustainable urban development. |
