Abstract

Floods are becoming a major global concern as these disasters become more severe and frequent. This is no exception to Malaysia as the trend of flood occurrence is increasing year by year. This study aimed to understand the public perception of the flood risks in Klang Valley, focusing on Kuala Lumpur and Selangor metropolitans. A total of 100 respondents participated in this survey via online questionnaire distribution. There are four variables tested in this survey, where factors on environmental concern and anticipating risk have moderate influence on the perception and awareness of flood risk both environmental concern (ß = 0.378, p < 0.000) and anticipating risk (ß = 0.349, p< 0.000) were the only correlations that were statistically significant. It is found that emotional impact (ß = 0.058, p < 0.511) and effort to contribute (ß = 0.148, p < 0.077) did not significantly predict the awareness of flood risks. Further studies are needed to truly grasp the public’s perception of flood risk in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

马来西亚巴生谷公众对洪水风险的认知:个案研究

随着这些灾害变得越来越严重和频繁，洪水正成为全球关注的主要问题。马来西亚也不例外，因为洪水发生的趋势逐年增加。本研究旨在了解巴生谷公众对洪水风险的看法，重点是吉隆坡和雪兰莪大都市。通过网上发放问卷的方式，共有100名受访者参与了本次调查。本次调查测试了四个变量，其中环境关注因素和预测风险因素对洪水风险的感知和意识有中等影响，环境关注(ß= 0.378， p, lt;0.000)和预测风险(ß= 0.349， p<0.000)是唯一具有统计学意义的相关性。研究发现，情绪影响(ß= 0.058， <, lt;0.511)和努力贡献(ß= 0.148， p, lt;0.077)不能显著预测洪水风险意识。要真正掌握公众对吉隆坡和雪兰莪州洪水风险的认知，还需要进一步的研究。
