| dc.description.abstract | Dusun Semonet is facing the threat of permanent submergence
due to severe land subsidence and rising sea levels. These
worsening conditions have made the area uninhabitable, causing
the community to leave their homes. Once a lively place where
people lived closely with the coast and relied on fishing, Dusun
Semonet now stands as a clear example of how climate change
affects vulnerable coastal areas.
This study presents a design proposal to help bring life back to the
area using a resilient approach. The concept includes stilt houses
built above the water and floating walkways to maintain
connectivity. It also provides facilities that support traditional
livelihoods, such as fishing and aquaculture, directly on the water.
This proposal offers a real response to climate threats by turning
challenges into new possibilities. Instead of resisting nature, the
design adapts to it. The water becomes a platform for living,
working, and social interaction. In doing so, the design not only
addresses the effects of climate change but also helps restore the
resilience, sustainability, and identity of the coastal community. | en_US |
