ABSTRACT
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection found in the most tropical and

subtropical areas of the world. This disease is also known as break-bone fever which
is characterized by fever, headache, myalgia, and exanthema. In Johor, the data shows,
156 cases of dengue were found as fatal diseases (1.48%/10508), percentage/total
among deaths in November 2020. Surprisingly, in early December 2020 an increment
of cases was found that there were 260 active cases which lead to the cause of serious
illness and death. Therefore, there is a need to prevent mosquito breeding to control
dengue cases in the Johor urban area. Based on the main research questions which how
the increases of dengue endemic influence the effect of preventing mosquito breeding
in Johor urban public area. My research objective is focusing on developing a product
to prevent mosquito breeding and control dengue endemic in Johor urban living area.
To collect different data on this research topic, I went through some methods to collect
the data that are interviews, literature reviews, prior art search and observation. Based
on the findings from the observation, the main factors which are the contributors to
mosquito breeding are the area surrounding the premises and the river. Besides, the
life cycle of a mosquito has four phases and the water reservoir left for two weeks is
able for mosquitoes to reproduce easily. In addition, based on the findings from the
Prior Art Search, there are many existing products in the market now day, but there is
no product that can achieve a good eradicate and prevent effect. Lastly, the findings
from the literature review shows that the symptoms, prevention, treatment and cause
of dengue endemic which can contribute to high dengue case in Johor urban area.
This study outlined the importance of understanding the characteristic of mosquito
breeding to provide product specification in designing a device as potential solution
for reducing the level of infection among the local citizen.

1. INTRODUCTION

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection found in most tropical and
subtropical areas of the world. This disease is also known as break-bone fever which is
characterized by fever, headache, myalgia, and exanthema. Dengue fever also has been
recognized for more than 200 years and was common in Asia, along the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts of the United States, and the Caribbean until the first half of this century.
Furthermore, dengue has become a global problem since the Second World War and is
endemic in more than 110 countries. In this context, more than thousands of soldiers
contracted dengue fever in the Pacific and Asia.

In Malaysia, the first dengue fever was reported in the year 1902 in Penang. In
this context, the disease since become a major public health problem, with the first
dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) outbreak in Malaysia and also occurring in Penang in
the year 1962. The dengue infection can present in four different clinical syndromes
which are undifferentiated fever, classical dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic
fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). As a result, most of the reported cases
are from urban areas and almost are working and schooling age groups. In the year 2000
and the year 2002, the national reports showed a six-fold increase in the incidence rate
of dengue fever from 1.73 in the year 2000 to 7.99 in the year 2002. Therefore, the
mortality rate doubled from 0.16 in the year 2000 to 0.28 in the year 2002.

Besides, not all infectious disease terms are created equal. In this context, an
endemic is something that belongs to a particular people or country. Endemic is most
commonly used to describe a disease that is restricted to a particular location, region
and population.

In conclusion, dengue now is endemic in more than 125 countries globally. The
reasons for the currently observed and predicted expansion are multifactorial. So, they
may include climate change, virus evolution and societal factors such as rapid
urbanization, population growth & development and socioeconomic factor

1.1 Design Statement
Design a mosquito life cycle interference device that can bring positive impact and
benefit to public user by substitute friendly and high quality material into the device.
Other than that, the device also created to artificially disturbs the surface of stagnant
water by using spinning movement to ensure that the mosquito cannot lay their egg in
the stagnant water and larva die off before reaching maturity.

1.2 Design Objective
Better to avoid the public in urban area by the risk of illness and death from the dengue
endemic the method of prevention have been developed. This is because not all the
product and equipment is suitable for prevent the disease. Therefore, the process of
developed and improve the tool and equipment should be improvised and pay more
seriously to solve and control the dengue case in Johor urban area.
1. To identify the type of urban public living area for Johor urban public area.

2. To determine are the symptoms, prevention, treatment and causes of dengue
endemic in among Johor urban living area.

3. To develop a product to prevent mosquito breeding and control dengue endemic in
Johor urban living area.
4. To validate that mosquito breeding design that cause of increased dengue cases.

1.3 Design Concept
The design concept is minimalist which about prioritizing the essential. In this context,
minimalist products usually avoid excess ornamentation to achieve a pure form of
elegance. Meanwhile, the design also considers slimming the outer body which to
reduce the bulkiness of the device.

1.4 Design Criteria
 Convenient and suitable use at outdoor especially for mosquito breeding
place.
 Made with friendly and high quality material like ABS Plastic and
Polypropylene material.
 Using solar rechargeable technology which can provide and supply electric
power for the generator to spin up the wheel paddle without human
intervention.
 Using wheel paddle generator to produce the water ripples and disturb the
surface of stagnant water by using spinning movement.
 Water proof is integrated into the design which can be relatively unaffected
by water during carrying out the mission besides the river and drain.

1.5 Design Idea

1.5.1 Introduction
Product design development is a process that required activities that a company

must perform to develop, manufacture, and sell a product. In this context, the activities
inc1ude marketing, research, engineering design, quality assurance, manufacturing,
and a whole chain of suppliers and vendors. Other than that, the process also comprises
all strategy planning, capital investments, management decisions, and tasks necessary
to create a new product. However, the important part of product design development
is the design process, which can be defined as the process of devising a system
component or process to meet desired needs. The design process consists of several

3

sequential and parallel activities that begin with identifying a need and eonc1ude with
a ready-to-manufacture product (prototype). The prototype is considered to be the first
product completed in the production process. It is produced by using all manufacturing
processes and test procedures called for by the design drawings and specifications.

1.5.2 Design Brief

The design brief is commonly seen as the launching of a design project. Whether
it is a project in product design, industrial design, graphic design, architecture or any
other design discipline, the brief will establish the requirements of the creative service
to be undertaken by the designer or design team. In this context, the traditional and
creative processes which are brainstorming, affinity diagrams and user-experience
mapping can be used to further expand upon the brief and provide stimuli to the design
team. However, the link between the content of the brief and a creative process can be
unclear, this is because due to the design profession tendency which to keep the
processes a carefully guarded secret.

1.5.3 Ideation and development
a) Sketches and Ideation 1
Ideation in Figure 1 was created to artificially disturbs the surface of stagnant

water by using spinning movement to ensure that the mosquito cannot lay their egg in
the stagnant water and larva die off before reaching maturity. In this context, the water
proof technology is integrated into the design which can be relatively unaffected by
water during carrying out the mission besides the river and drain. Moreover, the wheel
paddle generator technology also imploded into the design to produce the water ripples
to disturb the surface of stagnant water by using spinning movement. Other than that, solar
rechargeable technology is provided which supplies the electric power for the generator to spin
up the wheel paddle. Lastly, the design is specially made for outdoor use with a
catamaran concept to ensure the dynamic shape of the device.

b) Sketches and Ideation 2
Meanwhile, ideation 2 were created the function technology of the design

almost the same as the previous design which to artificially disturbs the surface of
stagnant water by using spinning movement to ensure that the mosquito cannot lay
their egg in the stagnant water and larva die off before reaching maturity. Only some
modifications have been made in appearance to make the design look more ergonomic
and vogue. Lastly, the design is still specially made for outdoor use to achieve
eliminate and prevent mosquito breeding in the urban public living area to reduce the
population of disease. (Figure 2)

c) Sketches and Ideation 3
Ideation 3 improved that still specially made for outdoor use with the application
of the effective paddle function technology. The improvement is almost the same as
both previous design which to artificially disturbs the surface of stagnant water by
using spinning movement to ensure that the mosquito cannot lay their egg in the
stagnant water. Also, the difference is including the combination of structural design
of the fuselage concept. Furthermore, compared with the previous ideas the overall
design 3 will become more rounded for floats ability (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Rounded design for Ideation 3. (Source: Author, 2021)

d) Sketches and Ideation 4
In ideation 4 (Figure 4) were created the function technology of the design
almost the same as both previous design which to artificially disturbs the surface of
stagnant water by using spinning movement to ensure that the mosquito cannot lay
their egg in the stagnant water and larva die off before reaching maturity. This time
the design considers slimming the outer body to reduce the bulkiness because the
structure design of the fuselage is too rounded and causes the overall design to become
less attractive. Therefore, the design still uses back the previous more ergonomics
design concept. Different radius was given to the design to make it sleeker and balance.

2. PRODUCT DESIGN SPECIFICATION (PDS)
2.1 Aesthetic
The mosquito life cycle interference device is adopting with minimalist design which
about prioritizing the essential. In this context minimalist products avoid excess
ornamentation to achieve a pure form of elegance. Lastly, the design is specially made
for outdoor use with a catamaran concept to ensure the dynamic shape of the device.

2.2 Functionality
The mosquito life cycle interference device is designed for the urban public to reduce
the population of disease. The device is designed with solar rechargeable technology.
For example, it can provide and supply electric power for the generator to spin up the
wheel paddle without human intervention. Lastly, the wheel paddle generator
technology is also integrated into the design produce the water ripples to disturb the
surface of stagnant water by using spinning movement to ensure that the larvae die off
before reaching maturity.

2.3 Usability
The design of mosquito life cycle interference device is to ensure the process of the
smart pot can easily to assembly it when the time want to use it and disassembly it
when the time no use and store it inside the sideboard. In this contrast, to ensure the
user not facing the problem when assembly and disassembly the smart pot, the steps
had design is quick easily to assembly and disassembly it, which is pull, push and
combine 3 steps to assembly the smart pot.

2.4 Ergonomics
Ergonomics of products not only supports physical health of the users, it also include
the shape and form of the device. In this context, the mosquito life cycle interference
device is uses more ergonomics design concept, which the design considers slimming
the outer body to reduce the bulkiness and different radius was given to the design to
make it sleeker and balance.

2.5 Material Proposed
The material for the mosquito interference device is ABS Plastic material, and

Polypropylene (PP). In this context, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) has a strong
resistance to corrosive chemical and physical impacts. It is very easy to machine,
because readily available and has a melting temperature making it particularly simple
to use in injection moulding manufacturing processes or 3D printing.

The advantages of ABS included:
1. Good machinability
2. Low end of the price scale
3. Great impact resistance
4. Good strength and stiffness
5. Wonderful aesthetic qualities

Meanwhile, the Polypropylene (PP) is a plastic mixture of propene and hydrogen
is passed over a bed containing Ziegler Natta catalyst. Polymer is separated from
gaseous propene and hydrogen. The process is operating continuously and using
“stereospecific’ Ziegler-Natta catalysts to effect the polymerization and the catalyst
then need to destroy using water or alcohols before the polymer is converted into
pellets. Both bulk and gas phase process have virtually eliminated gaseous and
aqueous.
The Advantage of Polypropylene (PP) included:
• High flexural strength due to semi-crystalline nature
• Relatively slippery surface or low coefficient of friction
• Resistance to absorbing moisture
• Good chemical resistance
• Possesses good fatigue resistance
• Good impact strength
• Good electrical insulator
• Easily repair from damage
