Natural threats such as heavy rains and strong winds, as well as the development of rapid development, especially in the Iskandar Johor in Johor waters are found to have affected the income and the number of fishermen in Kampung Melayu and the native village. Unfortunately, the failure to load important spatial data in reports and complaints of fishermen causes fishermen to be unable to understand the problems of the authorities at the local level to give their main attention and immediate action. This causes the frequency of the tendency of the authorities to ignore spatial data in making decisions that are not understood. Recognizing the importance of this spatial data, investigators have succeeded in getting to know the spatial data that are important rather than fishermen through community gatherings, meetings and visits to the site. Spatial data that may be included and highlighted in the report and the document can be documented in documents that can be used as guidelines or references to both fishermen and authorities. This study concludes that spatial data is very helpful in efforts to provide more important information in describing and managing fishermen's problems and contributes to help parties involved in making informed decisions regarding this issue.
