“…However, the distance to main streams and rivers is considered. Since there is evidence from post-flood studies that most of the flood-affected areas in Kota Bharu are located close to main rivers [1,30,44], therefore, the distances of buildings from main streams and rivers should be considered as one of the indicators. The overflow of water bodies during the flood occurrence makes the adjacent area much more vulnerable and influences the water velocity as well.…”

The most devastating flood event in Kota Bharu was recorded in December 2014, which affected several properties worth millions of dollars and thousands of homes. Damage to physical properties, especially buildings, is identified as a significant contributor to flood disasters in Malaysia. Therefore, it is essential to address physical flood vulnerability by developing an integrated approach for modeling buildings’ flood vulnerability to decrease the flood consequences. This study aims at developing a flood vulnerability assessment approach using an indicator-based model (IBM) for individual buildings in Kota Bahru, Kelantan, Malaysia. An intensive literature review and expert opinions were used to determine suitable indicators that contribute to the physical flood vulnerability of buildings. The indicators were grouped into three components, i.e., flood hazard intensity (I), building characteristics (C), and effect of the surrounding environment (E). The indicators were further refined based on expert opinions and Relative Importance Index (RII) analysis. Based on their contribution to the Malaysia local building flood vulnerability, priority weight is assigned by the experts to each of the selected indicators using the participatory Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). A spatial database of buildings in Kota Bharu is developed through field surveys and manually digitizing building footprints from satellite imageries. The identified indicators and their weight are added to each building footprint. The Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) aggregation method combined the weight of indicators into a vulnerability index and maps. The results of a physical flood vulnerability were validated using building damage information obtained through interviews with the community that experienced previous flood in the study area. The result showed that about 98% of the study area’s buildings have either moderate or low vulnerability to flooding. The flood vulnerability map has an overall accuracy of 75.12% and 0.63 kappa statistics. In conclusion, the IBM approach has been used successfully to develop a physical flood vulnerability for buildings in Kota Bharu. The model contributes to support different structural and non-structural approaches in the flood mitigations process.

“…There is ample evidence supporting the necessity of updating the pre-established post-disaster recovery plans after the disaster occurrence based on rst-hand information (Griffey 2010;Silva 2010;Johnson and Lizarralde 2012;Rani et al 2017;Platt 2018;Kermanshachi, Bergstrand and Rouhanizadeh 2019). The post-disaster recovery process differs from project to project due to numerous factors such as the severity of the disaster, physical damages, casualty numbers, existing trends before the disaster such as community social and economic conditions, recovery assistance programs, access to resources, geographic features, population, economic growth, and policies (Anuradha Mukherji 2008;Cheng et al 2013;Ping Xu, Xiaoli Lu 2014;Lu and Xu 2015).…”

“…On the other hand, weak consultation with community members, lack of coordination among stakeholders, and lack of voluntary participation have been identi ed as common barriers in PNDR projects (Rouhanizadeh and Bergstrand, Sharareh Dhamangaonkar 2013;Kermanshachi and Rouhanizadeh 2018). Ping Xu, Xiaoli Lu (2014); Rani et al (2017); Rehman et al (2019) believe that participation of all different stakeholders from governments, academia, people, organisations, and so forth is necessary for a successful PNDR project. However, the shortage of experience in the management of people participations may create negative impacts such as delays and cost overruns (Celentano et al 2019).…”

Following the increasing rate of natural disasters, more attention is being paid to post-natural disaster reconstruction projects. However, from the perspective of project management, these projects show a significant degree of differences from the regular construction projects. Although some progress has been made on this topic, further research is needed to smooth pathways for the management of Post-Natural Disaster Recovery (PNDR) projects. This paper provides a management framework for PNDR projects throughout the qualitative analysis of the research's selected resources. The resources identified by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria in academic online platforms have been coded by NVivo 2020, and corresponding groups have been made for PNDR life-cycle and project stages. An integrated management framework has been put forward throughout the simultaneous application of the research's suggested life-cycle and project stages for PNDR projects. The most significant observation of this study is the necessity of applying a continuous life-cycle to address projects' long-term goals and provide an experience-based database for the management of next natural disasters. The significant role of planning in the entire life-cycle of PNDR projects, recognition of the tasks that need to be handled continuously during entire PNDR projects, the necessity of simultaneous consideration of tangible and intangible recovery outcomes are the other findings of this study. Recognition of reconstruction as part of the bigger system, named recovery, also stressed the necessity of considering the recovery project as a whole.

“…Planning for Post disaster recovery as a first will enhance the management phase in all the stages, including the reconstruction stage, for example elements that reduce the risks of disaster should be considered in the design and construction phase [36]. Sri Lanka faced a very poor management due to the large number of homeless who need a resettlement after the disaster, in addition, international donors with the local government contract had a gap of making differences between policy and responsibility of the government [37].…”

Housing reconstruction projects are complex in nature because of the many stages and also the many stakeholders they have. The objective of this study is to investigate the main factors influencing the reconstruction process of the housing sector following the Gaza Strip conflict in 2014. A literature review was conducted and factors affecting housing reconstruction were extracted. A questionnaire was developed by identifying the most important and reliable factors that achieve the research objective. Seven sets of factors were identified to facilitate the analysis of 64 factors with the help of a pre-test for the questionnaire with the help of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing in the Gaza Strip. 98 questionnaires were distributed, but only 90 questionnaires were collected. SPSS was used to analyze factors and relative important index (RII) was the tool that ranked the factors. The main influencing group was "Factors Related to Institutions Involved in Reconstruction Projects", but at the bottom of the ranking was the "Governmental Factors".The study concluded that the factors associated with institutions such as the international organization are the main key to support housing reconstruction in the Gaza Strip, which is clear in the case of the Gaza Strip as a developing country. The increasing efficiency of reconstruction will be illustrated by highlighting factors related to institutional participation, such as differences in experience among participants, especially engineers, sustainable machinery support, manpower with different experience, understanding of legislation and policies by engineers, each participant should have a good practice to manage any issue of reconstruction and a prepared a plan to mitigate the risk of post-disaster in the future. And other important factors for the other groups were determined for more efficient work when reconstruct such as having efficiency of the management of the government, emergency plans by the parties who concern of reconstructing the Gaza Strip, fitting between donors conditions and beneficiaries' needs, prepared program by the government to deal with these projects, effective role of municipality, effective disaster assessment to figure out the appropriate amount of funds, efficiency in defining the responsibilities for every participant in these projects and considering the justice when giving the priority to reconstruct to the beneficiaries.
