Amphibious Urbanization as a Sustainable Flood Mitigation Strategy in South-East Asia

Abstract

Appling amphibious urbanization is a new smart and sustainable flood mitigation strategy for floodplain area in South-East Asia. The objective of this study is to evaluate the technological and environmental aspects of the amphibious house as a sustainable flood mitigation strategy in South-East Asia. The technological and environmental aspects are investigated under sustainability. The point load test and drag force estimation and interviews are conducted. Amphibious urbanization is completely aligned with the technological aspects of a safe living conditions during flood rush. This system identified as one of the green and most sustainable new strategies in South-East Asia.

Tindakan Pemerintah Daerah Terhadap Rumah Apung Suku Dayak: Kajian Pustaka

“…Selain itu, berdasarkan beberapa literature menyatakan bahwa rumah apung dapat menjadi salah satu cara untuk mengatasi beberapa permasalahan global. Salah satunya adalah dampak perubahan iklim yang sedang terjadi saat ini, misalnya mampu mengatasi kenaikan permukaan air laut secara berkelanjutan (Lin et al, 2018), dampak dari penurunan tanah (Mohamad et al, 2013;Urkude et al, 2019), bahkan wacana tata kelola terutama untuk kota-kota besar tentunya akan beralih kewilayah pesisir dan tangguh diatas air misalnya Jakarta, London, Miami, bahkan Tokyo hingga 25 tahun kedepan (Meinhold, 2014). Beberapa alasan keberadaan dari rumah apung ini adalah keterbatasan daratan kemudian mencari dan membuka lahan baru untuk pemukiman penduduk.…”

Innovative Techniques in the Context of Actions for Flood Risk Management: A Review

“…To determine the exact design force that a flood might exert on an amphibious construction, it is essential to examine the drag coefficient. To design the lateral system of an amphibious house, is necessary to consider the drag force, which acts in the direction opposite to that of the motion of the foundation of the house [47]. The analysis of the stability against vertical and horizontal loads on the amphibious house developed an innovative equation to obtain the drag coefficient [48].…”

Modelling of SeaCities: Why, What and How to Model

“…Specifically for floating development projects, the first, key element to analyse would be the structural engineering feasibility. The Archimede's principle is a starting point to help with the design of the structure, with tilting and rotation also critical elements to control (Mohamad et al 2013); strong external loading affecting the structure includes wind and waves, rain, ice and solar radiation (Stopp and Strangfeld 2010) and need to be quantified.…”
