<![CDATA[Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUB) Simbar Segara, a fishing community managing the Tahura Ngurah Rai mangrove forest in Pemogan Village, Denpasar, is developing the area into a conservation-based ecotourism destination. The site has gained wide recognition through visual content shared on social media, yet its physical facilities remain inadequate for the growing number of visitors, and it still lacks architectural elements that reinforce place identity, the distinctive qualities that set one area apart from another. This participatory community service program produced detailed designs for five architectural elements: landmark, dock, entrance, node, and signage/street furniture for KUB Simbar Segara. The method combined outreach, training, design visualization technology, and a cycle of mentoring and evaluation, in which the partner provided initial direction, reviewed drafts, and agreed on revisions before the designs were finalized. Following the partner's direction, the design adopted a neo vernacular architectural approach using timber and bamboo, with building masses distributed to fit the mangrove forest conditions. The program produced detailed drawings and three dimensional visualizations of the five elements, agreed upon by the partner, along with improved partner understanding of the place identity concept.]]>
