Developing a Design Framework for Disaster Resilience Flood Evacuation Centre in Malaysia

Table 3: Sample and data collection

Methodology Sample Data Collection
Document analysis 30 documents (shelter guidelines, shelter assessments and resilience assessments) It is known that shelter guidelines that were gathered from different regions do include information on resilience for the benefit of shelter risk assessments. An important follow-up is whether or not these design standards are suitable with the concepts of resilience and possibly, what is being done during the assessment, for which this documentation will help to indicate measures of disaster-resilience. This analysis has been validated by 10 selected disaster relief and shelter experts.
Case study 6 selected flood evacuation centres among schools and community halls A research protocol is developed for the case study method shown in Figure 1 which gives a clear outline of the methods and procedures used (Yin, 2009).
Semi-structured interviews 10 selected disaster relief and shelter experts The findings of the two above methodologies will be discussed extensively with selected experts to develop the design framework for disaster resilience evacuation centre. This method attempts to determine the key resilience measures, to calculate the weight of each factors and to rate the resilience level of the centres studied.
