| dc.description | Loss and damage (L&D) refers to the residual adverse impact of climate variability and natural disasters after implementing mitigation and adaptation. Many mitigation and adaptation strategies have been implemented in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for confronting flash flood and landslide impact. However, these hazards continue to occur and having various adverse impact on the city life. These small-scale hazards need more attention as their frequency is increasing. The problem is current literature lacks on the knowledge of the cost and various impact of these hazards in KL. Therefore, this study calculates the direct and indirect economic cost of flash floods and landslides for the period of 2010 to 2017 and assesses socioeconomic impact of flash flood events on the affected community. This study used market-based method for cost assessment and Structural Equation Model (SEM) for socioeconomic impact assessment. The results show that the direct tangible L&D is much lower than the indirect tangible L&D for flash flood cost. The total tangible L&D is lower than 1% of KL GDP in respective years. However, the flash flood loss per capita varies from RM3.35 up to RM32.74. Whereas the landslide loss per capita vary from RM0.02 up to RM42.17. The direct tangible impact of landslide also shows that the most affected items are house 40% and roadblock 26%. The direct costing for landslide is 0.02% of GDP in 2013, 0,06% in 2015 and 0.01% in 2014 and 2016. The socioeconomic impact seems to affect everybody through mobility disruption despite their income, job, and household economy. The income is shown being impacted indirectly through the impact on mobility and various indirect intangible L&Ds. The exposures and element at risk for both hazards will increase as urbanization and population density increases. This may lead to increase the L&D further. A considerable monetary value could be estimated from this type of L&D element. It has been realized that a proper data set is necessary for a more in-depth assessment. In terms of L&D assessment, noneconomic L&D elements related information should be given priority and data recording should be designed in such a way that useful information for monetary valuation is extracted.,Ph.D | |
