Factors contributing to flood resilience among rural community: case study of the east coast of Malaysia

From the spatial planning context, the National Rural Physical Policy (NRPP) 2030 indicated that almost 31% villages nationwide are identified as disaster risk villages. Based on Government of Malaysia records of more than 89 years, flood remains as the highest contributor to damage and economic los...

Factors contributing to flood resilience among rural community: case study of the east coast of Malaysia
description From the spatial planning context, the National Rural Physical Policy (NRPP) 2030 indicated that almost 31% villages nationwide are identified as disaster risk villages. Based on Government of Malaysia records of more than 89 years, flood remains as the highest contributor to damage and economic losses in comparison to other disasters. This study is intended to assess internal and external factors that contributed to rural community resilience towards disaster particularly flood in relation to the context of disaster resilience concept and sustainable development goals (SDGs). Three case study areas have been selected for household surveys including (1) Lubok Setol village in Kelantan state; (2) Teladas village in Terengganu state and (3) Gajah Mati village in Pahang state.
