Abstract

Identifying the critical elements in fisherman's village is vital as the identity of the place is slowly dying due to the rapid coastal development. The research objectives were to understand elements of cultural identity and characteristics of water village culture, to identify the cultural identity and characteristics of the water village in Malaysia, and to evaluate typical culture water village activities in Malaysia. A comparative study is conducted to determine the main element that signifies the fisherman village in Malaysia to guide and retain the future identity of fishers in Malaysia.
