CRITERIA OF RESILIENCE INFRASTRUCTURE IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS IN KELANTAN: A PILOT STUDY

Abstract

The resilience infrastructure systems can be described as capable of resisting, absorbing and recovering from flood effects in a timely and efficient manner. The resilience infrastructure systems can be achieved through the implementation of resilience criteria (i.e. robustness; resourcefulness; rapidity; and redundancy). The objective of this paper is to determine the most important resilience criteria to strengthen infrastructure systems in flood-prone areas in Kelantan. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among communities in flood-prone areas in Kelantan. A total of 23 criteria were analysed subjected to descriptive analysis. The results of the analysis showed that robustness is the most important criteria.
