OCEANARIUM GILI PUTIH BEACH, SUMBERKIMA, BALI

Abstract

Indonesia is famous for its rich biodiversity of marine biota with approximately 8,500 species of fish, 555 species of seaweed, and 950 species of coral reef biota. Bali is one of the provinces in Indonesia whose territory consists of one island and is famous for its exotic marine beauty both domestically and abroad. The Balinese sea presents a variety of marine biota ranging from beaches, coral reefs, various fish species, and landscape views. The purpose of this research is (1) to produce an oceanarium design as a center for marine life education and recreation, (2) to produce an oceanarium that provides space facilities according to architectural principles. The research analysis method uses direct observation of Gili Putih beach, calculation of space requirements through standard dimensions/sizes of human activities and comparison of precedent studies. The outcome of the oceanorium design on Gili Putih beach accommodates the potential for marine beauty, marine edutourism activities and supports the development plan of the Indonesian Tourism Development Coorporation (ITDC) area.

Keywords: oceanarium, marine beauty,edutourism.

Abstrak:

Indonesia terkenal kaya akan keanekaragaman hayati biota laut memiliki kurang lebih 8.500 spesies ikan, 555 spesies rumput laut, dan 950 spesies biota terumbu karang. Bali merupakan salah satu provinsi di Indonesia yang wilayahnya terdiri satu pulau dan terkenal akan keindahan laut yang eksotik baik dalam negeri maupun mancanegara. Laut Bali menyajikan beragam biota laut mulai dari pantai, terumbu karang, beragam spesies ikan, dan pemandangan lanskap. Tujuan riset ini (1) menghasilkan perancangan oceanarium sebagai pusat edukasi dan rekreasi kehidupan laut, (2) menghasilkan oceanarium yang menyediakan fasilitas ruang sesuai kaidah arsitektur. Metode analisis penelitian menggunakan pengamatan langsung pantai Gili Putih, perhitungan kebutuhan ruang melalui standar dimensi/ukuran kegiatan manusia dan perbandingan study precedent. Luaran rancangan oceanorium di pantai Gili Putih mewadahi potensi keindahan laut, kegiatan eduwisata bahari dan mendukung rencana pembangunan area Indonesian Tourism Development Coorporation (ITDC).
