Abstract

The outcome of post-disaster housing in Malaysia, particularly in Kuala Krai Kelantan, has remained unexplored. Therefore this paper attempted to discover the project impacts in Kampung Manek Urai Lama by investigating occupants' housing adaptation and modification. This study employed a case study method involving 18 respondents through purposive sampling. Findings revealed that the original house design does not consider several spatial needs and living traditions. The result established that these shortcomings were the main factors affecting housing modifications. The outcome of this study presents discoveries that can facilitate disaster management in Malaysia, particularly when planning for future post-disaster housing.

Keywords: housing reconstruction, post-disaster adaptation, post-disaster housing, housing modification
