Sustainability of integrated aquaculture development project using system dynamic approach

Integrated aquaculture projects in shrimp farming inflict tremendous effects,especially on the socioeconomic and natural environment. in order to evaluate the effects,this study introduces a simulation system known as system dynamic aquaculture effect policy (sd-aqep) that was developed to simulate the probable effects of integrated shrimp aquaculture park (isharp),setiu terengganu malaysia. the simulation system analyzes various selected sectors using dynamic approach. hence,the dynamic simulation for aquaculture model (sd-aqep) that has been developed could be used as an exploratory platform for policy analysis and decision analysis based on the probable effects of isharp. the baseline simulation is from 2010 to 2040 and the simulated results were used to suggest several policy recommendation for aligning the countermeasures with the resultant consequences. © penerbit umt.
