Abstract

This research addresses a need in the literature on flood risk management in Malaysia, particularly as it relates to development projects. Understanding and improving risk management strategies is crucial as Malaysian floods increase. A thematic literature review was used to search relevant 2018–2023 literature. It exhaustively searched scholarly databases, and government, and international organization reports. Multi-thematic analysis was used to understand the flood risk management narrative. The study shows that Malaysian flood risk management strategies need a more holistic and integrated approach. The development of an integrated framework is a significant step forward because it allows for the better coordination of developmental project initiatives with strategies meant to mitigate and manage flood risks. Effective collaboration between the federal government, Malaysian local authorities, urban planners, developers, and construction firms is crucial. Effective flood management requires accurate risk assessment by consultants, developers, and local authorities to integrate current and future development projects in flood-prone areas. Project development requires strategy, overview, and flood risk assessment in planning permission can produce creative and secure results.

Abstract

The rising flash floods disrupt communities, damage infrastructure, and strain economic resources, highlighting the urgent need for effective flood management strategies. This study examines the causes and impact of flash floods in Malaysia to provide a holistic understanding and actionable insights for flood risk management. A comprehensive content analysis was performed from 2013 to 2023, utilizing scholarly articles, governmental reports, and newspaper data. The research identifies key causes contributing to flash flood vulnerability, including inadequate drainage systems, rapid urbaniza-tion, reclamation projects, developer negligence, and insufficient urban planning as specific activities associated with new development projects. These activities disrupt natural water flows, increasing runoff and flood risks. The analysis indicates that flash floods disrupt daily life and economic activities, such as the construction industry, leading to project delays and in-creased costs. This research contributes significantly to flood risk manage-ment by highlighting the importance of integrating resilient design tech-niques, enhanced coordination among local authorities, enforcing stricter regulations, and promoting sustainable development practices. It provides a foundation for future research and policymaking aimed at reducing flash flood vulnerability. The findings recommend future of flood management lies in breaking down silos between engineering, planning, and environmen-tal management, ensuring that guidelines such as MASMA, NPP, and the USMM work in unison toward a common goal of flood resilience.

Abstract

Flood risk is an increasingly critical concern in urban development as the frequency and severity of floods escalate due to climate change and intensified economic activities. Despite extensive studies on flood risk management (FRM), a significant gap persists in practical frameworks that systematically integrate FRM principles across the entire lifecycle of development projects. To address this gap, this study conducted a scoping review of 27 peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024, retrieved from Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. Using a thematic analysis approach, four major themes were identified: (1) the risk–hazard model, (2) risk assessment theory, (3) project lifecycle theory, and (4) risk management theory. These themes were synthesized to develop a unified conceptual framework that embeds FRM throughout project planning, design, implementation, and operation. The proposed framework emphasizes early risk identification, continuous stakeholder engagement, adaptive management, and interdisciplinary collaboration, enabling proactive integration of FRM into development processes. This novel approach aligns flood resilience with broader urban sustainability and planning objectives, offering a practical tool for policymakers, project managers, and urban planners. Future research should focus on empirical validation and contextual adaptation of the framework across diverse socio-economic and geographical settings to enhance its global applicability.
