| dc.description.abstract | The research attempts to provide appropriate design guidelines for future resort architecture in Langkawi with respect to traditional form and design. It starts with literature search on the the general resort's planning and design criteria, study on the Malay house's form and design, and the study on Langkawi and some resorts buildings. The field survey method has been chosen by preparing questionnaires to identify the level of preference and satisfaction from the respondents (tourists) who had stayed at selected resorts in Langkawi. The selected resorts are Berjaya Langkawi Beach & Spa Resort, Pelangi Beach Resort Langkawi and Kampung Tok Senik Resort. All the information gathered from the survey's questionnaires are collected and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software to determine the statictical results. The analysis measures the level of success for resort buildings in Langkawi based on responses of positive and negative answers by the respondents. The result shows that there is no negative answer with respect to the resort development, and Kampung Tok Senik Resort has the best level of satisfaction compared to Berjaya Langkawi Beach & Spa Resort and Pelangi Beach Resort Langkawi. All of the categories have positive (below than 4 marks) answers. Kampung Tok Senik Resort could be used as the model for future's traditional resort architecture development in Langkawi. In conclusion, the application of traditional form and design in resort architecture is important in promoting the tourism industry. The form and design do not only satisfy resort's requirements, but they are also the most logical choice for hot and humid climate conditions in the country. | en_US |
