| Abstract | The Philippines is an archipelago is mainly dependent on sea and massive transport. The country's archipelagic configuration requires an efficient maritime transport infrastructure composed of ports and shipping for growth. From fragmented and island economies, it has to be interconnected by good transport and communication networks that will open up new economic opportunities, reduced transportation and transaction costs of business and increase access to social services. The integration of peripheral islands to the urban economic nodes and the diffusion of economic activities fundamentally count on an efficient land and sea transport network. With these, the government has seen the vast and increasing demand of ports in the world today. The intense competition among ports in national and international level had shown this importance of coastal shipping traffic on the national economy. Ports are generally made for industrial development which can create more revenue for the local and national economy. Particularly in Pangasinan, the government is currently looking further to the development and expansion project of the fishing port in town of Sual into a commercial seaport and is pushing to convert the port into an international seaport. Based on these idea, this research will focus on the study of the development of a fishing port used as a cargo port that will serve the industrial and commercial activities of the Pangasinan. This study will focus on identifying the context of Sual port to establish the basis for an architectural strategy that will improve its potential as a commercial port. It intends to define the present condition of the Sual port and its needs so as to provide the knowledge basis of design that will convert it to design the facility. The study will also highlight the formulation of a conceptual development framework for the envision facility. |
