ABSTRACT: Good establishment of transportation terminals (jetties and airports) of coastal towns in proportion to relevant landuses and urban networks is an important element in urban tourism planning. Increasing urban network has both positive and negative impacts. Accessibility is chosen as key elements with respect to its critical roles in quality and attraction of coastal tourism. The overall objective of this study is to develop a decision support tool to plan appropriate locations for jetties, airport and urban transportation network development through the use of spatial technologies to address the issues of accessibility. Langkawi Island, an important tourism city in Malaysia has been chosen as a case study. This method can explain the linkage between accessibility and tourism quality. It covers the optimum accessibility from Jetties and airport to tourism landuses and facilities area. This research has successfully managed to develop a scientifically based approach to convert conceptual configuration of accessible tourism locations into transportation terminals using geospatial technology. It is hoped that this spatial based approach can be employed in transportation planning and urban network suitability assessment at both the local and structure plan levels.Keywords: Airport; jetty; coastal town; transportation planning; accessibility; Langkawi ABSTRAK: Pengiktirafan penubuhan terminal untuk pengangkutan (jeti dan lapangan terbang) di bandar-bandar di persisiran pantai berkadaran dengan guna tanah yang berkaitan dan rangkaian bandar adalah elemen penting dalam perancangan pelancongan bandar. Meningkatkan rangkaian bandar mempunyai kesan positif dan negatif. Kebolehcapaian dipilih sebagai elemen utama berkenaan dengan peranan kritikal dalam kualiti dan daya tarikan pelancongan pantai. Objektif keseluruhan kajian ini adalah untuk membangunkan alat sokongan keputusan untuk merancang lokasi yang sesuai untuk jeti, lapangan terbang dan bandar pembangunan rangkaian pengangkutan melalui penggunaan teknologi spatial untuk menangani isu-isu kebolehcapaian. Pulau Langkawi, sebuah bandar pelancongan penting di Malaysia telah dipilih sebagai kajian kes. Kaedah ini dapat menjelaskan hubungan antara akses dan kualiti pelancongan. Ia meliputi akses optimum dari Jeti dan lapangan terbang untuk guna tanah dan kemudahan pelancongan kawasan. Kajian ini telah berjaya membangunkan pendekatan berasaskan saintifik untuk menukar konfigurasi konsep lokasi pelancongan diakses ke terminal pengangkutan menggunakan teknologi geospatial. Diharapkan pendekatan ini berasaskan ruang boleh digunakan dalam perancangan pengangkutan dan rangkaian bandar penilaian kesesuaian di peringkat rancangan tempatan dan struktur.Kata kunci: Lapangan terbang; jeti; bandar pantai; perancangan pengangkutan; akses; LangkawiReferences
