Enhancing Disaster Resilience: Overview of Resilient Housing

Nurin  Mansoor; Aznah Nor  Anuar; Akbariah  Mohd Mahdzir; Nurul Huda  Md Adnan

One of the main concerns in disaster risk reduction strategy related to housing is the implementation of the disaster resilience concept for rebuilding housing after a disaster. The disaster resilience approach for reconstruction is often used to address this issue but its implementation poses significant challenges in vulnerable areas. It has been observed that the current trends show that researchers have recognized the importance of providing communities with resilient housing that can withstand the impact of disasters. However, the recent works of literature lack an overview of the latest trends and advancements in resilient housing practices specifically during the development of housing project phases. Therefore, this study aims to provide an inclusive understanding of the fundamental phases of resilient housing practices that can enhance disaster preparedness in the housing sector. By using a systematic literature review, this study identified the fundamental phases of resilient housing practices in resilient settlements under five dimensions of resilience phases; hazard assessment, hazard identification, mitigative adaptation, preparedness planning, and recovery planning. This paper provides a comprehensive approach to combining the various stages of resilient housing with the concept of disaster resilience, ensuring that both current and future developments are equipped to withstand potential disasters. By prioritizing the resilience concept in housing and taking proactive measures to address the impact of disaster on vulnerable communities, this approach is expected to create more sustainable and resilient communities.
