Agencies' management preparations and proposed evacuation routes for flood disaster: a case study of Melaka. Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners, 19 (2). pp. 199-212. ISSN 0128-0945 (2021)
Abstract
The research focuses on the flooding event in Melaka. Flooding has been occurring so frequently in Melaka that assessing the management and preparation for flooding needs to be undertaken. Alor Gajah, Melaka has been selected as a case study because frequent flooding events in the district affected many people.
Using FGD as a data collection method, the result showed there is no management structure of flooding events beyond the district level and a proper training for the community is required before the structure can be developed. The original hierarchy and functions under Directive 20 should be maintained. This research suggested a proper institutionalisation of flood management and flood rehabilitation structure for Alor Gajah's district.
