Inter Island Port Passenger Terminal Design as A Support Area in Coastal Zone Area at the Merak Coastal Banten

Abstract

As a center point for the distribution of people and products, the port area’s-built environment development faces a major challenge that will have a significant impact on environmental sustainability. The intention to create a port terminal in the Merak Banten area into an inter-island port passenger terminal strongly affects the existence of the intended location area in the coastal area of Merak Banten. Coastal regions are important strategic places for the conservation of natural resources since they are located at the boundary between the land and the sea. It is possible that the development of natural resources in connection with port dock planning would disrupt the balance of the natural environment. This is because the place in question will be transformed into one that is dominated by the built environment and thus require a sufficient amount of space. This study attempts to show that port terminal planning requires more consideration so as not to disturb the balance of space and the existence of nature. It is expected that the approach used to investigate the needs of the object while taking into account a number of fundamental spatial criteria, including functional features, infrastructural connections, technical requirements, and environmental requirements, will reveal the fundamental requirements of port terminal planning among the research subjects. For the sake of preserving the setting's potential and enhancing the image and value of the proposed concept.
