Abstract

In recent years, Malaysia with rapid urban development, raising of population, land scarcity and expensive of labor. The growth of cities is already challenging the local food supply system. Urban farming is one of the strategies to combat food insecurity. However, in Malaysia, the awareness of urban farming is still low and the concept of aquaponic system is not a widespread concept. The aims of this research are to study the interest and willingness of potential user with agriculture background for practicing a sustainable maintenance for urban farming. The objectives of this research are (i) to stabilize Eco-system irregularities between plant and fish to get enough nutrients and grow together and (ii) to identify whether aquaponic systems can help manage maintenance and know potential users, this system is able to reduce the burden of maintenance. Requirement of high intellect in aquaponic, high amount of maintenance, and requirement of critical skill are the three main barriers for the implementation of aquaponic system. This research also helps (iii) to build proper science corner for SK Padang Temu. Conversely, the potential of an aquaponic system are it can be a basic system for further improvement and can used for business purpose. In future study, the integration of building design with aquaponic system can be studied to increase the motivation of people to practice an aquaponic system
