Daya Tahan Komuniti Terhadap Bencana Banjir di Mukim Dengkil, Sepang.

Malaysia faces a new challenge in dealing with the natural catastrophe phenomenon inevitably hit without any warnings. Many previous researches have discussed policies, strategies, and flood disaster management in Malaysia but only a few research conducted that emphasize resilience either in individuals or communities that were affected by floods in Malaysia. The purpose of this research is to give a new perspective on community resilience in facing floods and its strategy by developing social resilience in reducing flood risk calamities. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify the community resilience level for flood calamities and to investigate components that affected community flood disaster resilience in Mukim Dengkil, Sepang. This study was conducted on 349 flood victims in the Dengkil subdistrict of Sepang. The quantitative method with Torrens scorecard analysis is used to measure high, medium, or low levels with descriptive analysis. The results of the analysis found that the level of community resilience against flood disasters is in the alert zone with the components of measures and actions showing the lowest scores and needing attention. This decision needs to be taken seriously because it has a negative impact if it is not addressed properly. In addition to the need for the community to be aware of their resilience level, the implications of this study can also be used as a reference for policymakers, government, and private agencies in an effort to increase community capacity toward the development of a resilient community against disasters in line with the concept of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).
