A Systematic Review of Real-time Urban Flood Forecasting Model in Malaysia and Indonesia -Current Modelling and Challenge

Several metropolitan areas in tropical Southeast Asia, mainly in Malaysia and Indonesia have lately been witnessing unprecedentedly severe flash floods owing to unexpected climate change. The fast water flooding has caused extraordinarily serious harm to urban populations and social facilities. In addition, urban Southeast Asia generally has insufficient capacity in drainage systems, complex land use patterns, and a largely susceptible population in confined urban regions. To lower the urban flood risk and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable urban populations, it has been of fundamental relevance to create real-time urban flood forecasting systems for flood disaster prevention agencies and the urban public. This review examined the state-of-the-art models of real-time forecasting systems for urban flash floods in Malaysia and Indonesia. The real-time system primarily comprises the following subsystems, i.e., rainfall forecasting, drainage system modeling, and inundation area mapping. This review described the current urban flood forecasting modeling for rainfall forecasting, physical-process-based hydraulic models for flood inundation prediction, and data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) models for the real-time forecasting system. The analysis found that urban flood forecasting modeling based on data-driven AI models is the most applied in many metropolitan locations in Malaysia and Indonesia. The analysis also evaluated the existing potential of data-driven AI models for real-time forecasting systems as well as the challenges towards i

Urban floods analysis by using remote sensing imageries in Asian: systematic review

Floods are not extraordinary natural disasters; in fact, it happens every year in Asian countries. In the future, climate change will increase the likelihood of flooding in most urban areas due to extreme events and rising sea levels. The objective of this article is to provide an overview and systematic literature on the remote sensing approach in order to examine and analyse urban floods in Asian countries. This paper highlights various aspects of remote sensing and its applications in flood studies in Asian countries particularly. For mapping and analysing urban floods, remote sensing data and methods such as high-resolution data from optical and SAR satellites are vital. This technology is able to analyse and display visualizations of a geographical area because the action of identifying and understanding the possibility of flood risk areas accurately is very important to reduce the risk during a disaster. The finding shows that remote sensing technology has been used in Asian countries widely in terms of surveying, identifying, classifying, mapping, and monitoring natural resources, environment, and disasters in the context of flood risk analysis. The majority of Asian nations employ remote sensing imagery from optical and microwave satellite sensors. Remote sensing technology is capable of disaster monitoring, mitigation, damage assessment, security, preventive, training, information exchange, and regional and worldwide collaboration. The right procedures through this technology should be made to mitigate a disaster for achieving the resiliency of cities. Every level of project design, execution, and monitoring should put in a valiant effort to address the existing flood disasters

Comparative planning for port cities in Southeast Asia and Persian Gulf

The present-day challenge is the inability of most coastal cities to absorb rapidly expanding port developments and population growth. Today, the city and the port are cut off from each other. Ports seem to become less and less dependent on their geographical location. They have no historical or cultural ties to the host city and base their decision solely on managerial or financial considerations. As a result, the former role of ports in local urban life has faded, and ports have lost any sense of local identity. This paper highlighted the complexity of comparative urban planning for port cities in Southeast Asia and the Persian Gulf based on the existing literature on the economic, environmental, and physical aspects. The authors develop a perspective on comparative planning research's value and methodologies in this article. Through comparative study, similarities and differences between planning cases and experiences can be disentangled. This opens possibilities for learning across planning systems and possibly even transferring the best planning and policy practices across systems, places, or countries

The 4th tier micro planning development: a review of practices in Malaysia and Türkiye

Community-based planning plays a significant role in Malaysia's pursuit of long-term prosperity since it considers the needs and aspirations of locals at all stages of the process. Community members' skills and experiences are incorporated into the decision-making processby incorporating community members' involvement in the planning process. Involving many parties is an attempt to encourage more people to participatein government and boost democracy's effectiveness. This paper attempts to determine whether the principles of Malaysia's 4th tier Micro planning are like what has been practiced in Türkiye. SCOPUS databases are used in the systematic review process to analyze the variety of publications in Malaysia's community-based planning context. According to the results, micro-planning in Malaysia is frequently carried out on a regional or neighborhood scale. However, this knowledge is neither well documented nor readily availableto the public through academic databases. On the other hand, micro-planning projects in Türkiye show a systematic strategy aimed at local growth and improvement. These projects are generally developed at the grassroots level to meet the varied needs of different communities. Frequently, researchers worldwide are conducting community-based planning studies to address local development barriers and fostermore community engagement in decision-making processe
