Resilience Adaptability Community towards Flood Disaster: Case Study Temerloh, Pahang

Open access
The concept of sustainable development which combines ideas aimed to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations. United Nations approved "Sustainable Development Goals 2030" (SDG) and sustainable development has been accepted as the primary objective of public policy and decision makers for the well-being and quality of life. Sustainable development in the SDG-15 is intended to "protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainable management of forests and halt the manage and restore land degradation and halt the loss of biodiversity". To achieve the sustainable development of this aspect of the resilience in the community need to see the impact of their acceptance of the changes experienced as a result of natural disasters. The study area is more concentrated in Temerloh, Pahang. Natural disasters cannot be stopped as it relates to the natural cycle of nature, but the impact of disasters can be minimized with emphasis on the ecological balance in an ecosystem. Planning and development strategies need to be more sustainable to reduce negative impacts occur. Accordingly, the study objectives were to evaluate the resilience of victims is intended to determine the extent to which they can adapt and create solutions (mitigation) the impact of flooding faced. With the existence of the resilience within the flood victims, he was influential to the victims recover from trauma and restores the spirit of survival though not as original condition. In addition, the government should also play a major role in reducing the negative impact on the victim. Thus, by evaluating aspects of the viscosity can show public acceptance of disaster and can strategize and plan future more systematically in line with the objectives of SDG 15.
