description | Flooding is a crucial issue for structures all around theglobe. The classification and evaluation of damage methods and the design of strategies to optimize flood resilience are thus critical components of flood risk management. The paper presents an in-depth analysis of the guideline for flood resistance design for residential architecture in Malaysia and the UK. Both Malaysia and the UK are at risk of flooding because of rainfall and rising sea levels surrounding their coastal cities due to climate change. Qualitative research methodology is adopted for this research by analysing the contents of guidelines of Malaysia and the UK. Therefore, it has implemented content analysis from secondary sources, including documents, briefing papers, studies, and print and online sources of building and planning guidelines. The output from this paper is that there are measures of flood resistance design in Malaysia. Measures include design strategies such as using floodproof materials, avoiding floodplain zones for residential properties, etc. However, those measures are insufficient and need to be more comprehensive on floodresistant residential buildings in Malaysia. The output from this paper also compares the guidelines on flood resistance design for residential architecture and the different approaches incorporated between Malaysia and the UK. It needs further exploration of why there is an inadequate effort to develop guidelines for residential architecture despite considerable residential property damages occurring yearly due to flooding in Malaysia. |
