The outcome of post-disaster housing in Malaysia, particularly in Kuala Krai Kelantan, has remained unexplored. Therefore this paper attempted to discover the project impacts in Kampung Manek Urai Lama by investigating occupants' housing adaptation and modification. This study employed a case study method involving 18 respondents through purposive sampling. Findings revealed that the original house design does not consider several spatial needs and living traditions. The result established that these shortcomings were the main factors affecting housing modifications. The outcome of this study presents discoveries that can facilitate disaster management in Malaysia, particularly when planning for future post-disaster housing.

This study aims to develop a reference platform when converting Malaysia Agriculture Expo Park Serdang (MAEPS) to the  Low-Risk COVID-19 Quarantine and Treatment Centre (PKRC) in facing the increased numbers of Covid-19. This study applied qualitative methodologies and further developed 3D modeling involving AutoCAD, SketchUp, and V-Ray software. The findings enhance our understanding of how a multi-functional space transformed into the ideal spaces needed. The limitation is developing a 3D model visualization of MAEPS on Phase 1 and Phase 2 at the main hall. The application of 3D visualization potentially becomes a reference to creating the quarantine center in the future.   Keywords: Covid-19; pandemic; quarantine center; 3D modelling eISSN: 2398-4287© 2021.

This chapter attempts to rediscover and envision the revitalization idea of Kedai Pati, a gastronomic urban node in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. More than 50 years ago, Kedai Pati likely existed and acted as a local third place, whereby people tend to drop in for a quick snack before going to work or elsewhere. Kedai Pati is perceived as a valuable space for the local working men to informally attend on the regular or irregularly. At the present day, Kedai Pati still survives with its signature theatrical-service pantry operation, and seller-buyer social setting, which is part of a unique ambiance considered Kelantan's cultural heritage. These nodal gastronomic places around Kota Bharu town have been mapped to indicate their current location and studies on reimagining and rebranding the Kedai Pati itself have been made to promote and reintroduce its existence. Varieties of design proposals have then been put forward as it may indicate a new pop-up cart style for Kedai Pati.

Local values have been disregarded in post-disaster housing reconstruction (PDHR), causing difficulties in the community’s daily lives. This research aimed to assess the physical attributes of PDHR in Kuala Krai Kelantan against pre-flood traditional values and to analyze their response toward these values. This analysis employed a case study method involving 36 Kampung Manek Urai Lama respondents. Findings discovered that crucial local housing attributes were not considered in the PDHR, resulting in culturally incompatible houses. The result of this study shall be a learning tool to facilitate improvement for future PDHR in Malaysia.
