Underlying Disaster Risk Factors for Sustainable Coastal Development Projects in Malaysia
Abstract As disaster threats are inevitable, efforts should be directed to reduce the disaster risks via the implementation of risk mitigation measures to lessen the impacts. Current studies on disaster risks mostly focus on disaster risk reduction along with pre-disaster and post-disaster processes while the study on factors influencing the perception of risks is not sufficiently addressed. This paper aims to investigate the underlying factors that influenced disaster risk perception to ensure effective risk governance for a successful sustainable coastal development projects from the perspective of stakeholders with a credible engineering backgrounds. Analysis of this study is based on a survey conducted among 311 engineering students in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) regarding factors considered as part of the risk governance with respect to sustainable coastal development. It was found out that the environmental (92.93%), economic (73.63%) and health and safety (54.98%) factors were considered as the three most important factors by the students.
