Flood – Resilient Design Strategies Case Study of Urban Waterfront | Hazwan Bin Husain

Characteristics and traits of each stage of intervention need to be dissected to provide comprehension in determining the suitable response on respective stages. A detailed study by (Roslan, Abd Hamid, & Dul, 2015) compared different timeframe form 3 previous author that has defined and suggest an ideal timeframe for resilient management.

Figure 2.3 - Comparison of Resilient Timeframe author 2020, data adapted from (Roslan et al., 2015) As studied from the data above, different principles of the intervention are applied to each different timeframe. To further comprehend the actions and intervention needed for each different timeline, the author summarised each action into a synthesized timeframe stage: Stages

Topical Study : Flood Resilient Design Strategies Case Study of Urban Waterfront

Published on Jan 1, 2021

The current contextual problem of flood vulnerabilities imposed a significant threat towards a safe built environment, especially in the urban area that is prone to flooding. In Malaysia, the flood has been the most severe event of natural disaster that deals with a significant loss in the resource that could restrict economic and social growth of the nation. this paper seeks to identify the resilient factors in the design-based intervention that is based on concept and principles, contextual application, design features criteria, and policy/initiatives enforcement. The study identifies design interventions that can combat or adapt flood vulnerabilities in a humanistic and sustainable approach. As such, the study focuses on comparing and appraising existing or proposed waterfront development that adapts the flood vulnerabilities as an innovative design solution for the ultimate goal of providing a safe built environment that is prone to flood disaster.
