There are recurrent flood risks in Malaysia, notably during the rainy season, resulting in significant loss of life and property. A recent flood catastrophe in the northern region severely impacted coastal communities, destroying 238 homes, severely damaging eight others, and causing minor damage to approximately 275 others. Concerns have emerged regarding the contentment of flood victims with their new housing, despite the implementation of reconstruction and resettlement efforts. This study examines the quality of life of flood victims with a focus on their residence conditions, community relationships, and overall life satisfaction. 56 resettlement program participants in Kedah were surveyed and the permanent shelter was evaluated in order to collect data. In general, inhabitants are moderately satisfied with their living conditions, according to the findings. However, issues regarding facility accessibility and the absence of amenities persist. This study emphasizes the significance of relocation and home repairs in post-disaster recovery, but also underlines the need for further improvements in providing a comfortable living environment, particularly for those who have been traumatized by the disaster. The study's recommendations can guide future disaster relief and urban planning initiatives to improve the well-being of Malaysia's flood-affected communities.

“…Moreover, the rehabilitation and reconstruction processes designed with consideration for risk-minimizing factors require quality control which is very important to the successful implementation of a community-based approach (Huda, 2007). Citizen participation is an important element in comprehensive planning (Ling, 2006) and also a driving force for residents' resilience to develop their residential areas, increase regional independence, overcome local crises (Song, 2018). It empowers and promotes behavioral changes in citizens (Murota, 2014), and also ensures successful management of the risks associated with disasters (Samaddar, 2017).…”

An earthquake occurred in 2006 at Yogyakarta which damaged 209,494 buildings and caused the death of 4,143 people. A post-disaster settlement reconstruction covering all settlement facilities and infrastructure was initiated using a participatory approach which involved the targeted residents in the process of mapping the conditions, potentials, and resources of the region. It is, however, important to evaluate the effectiveness of this reconstruction method to reduce the impacts of such disaster in the future. Therefore, this research was conducted to focus on the forms, levels, and driving factors of citizen participation at each reconstruction stage. A qualitative descriptive method was employed through the use of observation and the findings showed that citizens were involved in the process by attending and participating in rembug warga forums, suggesting ideas, donating funds, and serving as personnel at the socialization, planning, and implementation stages. The reconstruction led to the construction of quality residential infrastructure and facilities due to the systematic and integrated coordination of the rembug warga forums.
