Arrangement of Residential Areas of Seberang Belawan Fishing Village As Regional Development And Tourism

Abstract

— This study aims to examine the arrangement of residential areas and fisheries activities in Seberang Belawan Fishermen's Village to support regional development and sustainable tourism. Seberang Fishermen's Village has significant potential in the fisheries and eco-tourism sectors, but faces various challenges such as inadequate housing conditions, minimal basic infrastructure, and environmental degradation due to abrasion and pollution. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with a field study approach, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. This study also referenced theories of regional planning, sustainability, and ecotourism management. The results indicate that this area has significant potential for development through the integration of the fisheries and tourism sectors. However, this requires careful planning, such as area zoning, basic infrastructure improvements, mangrove ecosystem restoration, and sustainable environmental management. This area arrangement is expected to improve the community's quality of life, encourage local economic growth, preserve the environment, and establish Seberang Fishermen's Village as a leading tourist destination based on culture and coastal ecosystems
