ABSTRACT

Naturally Malaysia facing with flood problem all over the country This

problem will make worst loses to property and life Sarawak is one of the state in

Malaysia which facing with this problem In 19632004 and 2009 Sarawak

experience the worst flood event all over the year Hence the flood mitigation rush to

built in order to control the flood However before the flood mitigation plan is built

there are several information need to be develop in order to predict the flood area

Several research had been done in order to develop the flood hazard mapping

Certain use InfoWorks RS and other use Autocad 3D associate with Google Earth In

this study the main aim is to provide flood hazard mapping and identify the rivers

that contribute to flood The flood map was evaluated based on areas and perimeter

of the floodplain The data was collected from Urban Section of DID Sarawak The

digitizing process was used in order to complete the flood mapping process GIS

application also used to achieve other objectives The analysis show the flood prone

area in Sarawak include the river that contribute to floodpain It was 51636 km2 and

94428 km of floodplain in Sarawak Usually there were 550km2 and 600km was

cover with flood For the conclusion Samarahan and Mukah was the division that

always experience with the flood problem due to the number of river that contribute

to flood and percentage of area that covered by flood This research can help people

to understand and get informed the frequent flood area and being prepared for the

flood occurrences

Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang sering berdepan dengan

masalah banjir Masalah ini membawa kepada kemusnahan harta benda dan juga

nyawa Sarawak merupakan salah satu negeri yang sering berdepan denga masalah

banjir Pada tahun 1963 2004 dan 2009 Sarawak mengalami banjir yang teruk di

dalam sejarah negeri Sarawak Bertitik tolak daripada masalah tersebut tebatan

banjir telah di bina untuk mengawal masalah ini daripada berulang Walau

bagaimanapun pembinaan tebatan banjir memerlukan beberapa informasi bagi

menjangkakan kawasan yang kerap berlakunya banjir Beberapa kajian telah

dijalankan bagi membina peta banjir untuk membantu dalam pembinaan projek

tebatan banjir Terdapat beberapa kaedah yang digunakan untuk membina peta banjir

antaranya dengan menggunakan lsquoInfoWorks RSrsquo dan menggunakan lsquoAutocad 3Drsquo

bersama lsquoGoogle Earthrsquo Objektif bagi kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti

sungai-sungai yang merupakan penyumbang kepada masalah banjir Keluasan dan

perimeter kawasan banjir akan ditaksir melalui peta banjir yang dihasilkan

Menggunakan data yang diambil daripada Bahagian Urban DID Sarawak proses

pendigitalan telah digunakan untuk menghasilkan peta banjir ini Aplikasi GIS juga

digunakan untuk mengetahui keluasan dan perimeter kawasan banjir Analisis

menunjukkan 51636 km2 kawasan yang mengalami masalah banjir dengan perimeter

94428 km di seluruh Sarawak Pada kebiasaannya keluasan dan perimeter kawasan

yang terlibat dengan banjir adalah 550km2 dan 600km Kesimpulan daripada

penilaian yang dilakukan mendapati bahagian Samarahan dan Mukah merupakan

bahagian yang sering berdepan dengan masalah banjir Ianya berpandukan jumlah

sungai di bahagian tersebut dan juga peratusan kawasan yang dinaiki air Kajian ini

akan membantu penduduk di kawasan yang terlibat dengan banjir untuk memahami

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

ABSTRACT

Naturally Malaysia facing with flood problem all over the country This

problem will make worst loses to property and life Sarawak is one of the state in

Malaysia which facing with this problem In 19632004 and 2009 Sarawak

experience the worst flood event all over the year Hence the flood mitigation rush to

built in order to control the flood However before the flood mitigation plan is built

there are several information need to be develop in order to predict the flood area

Several research had been done in order to develop the flood hazard mapping

Certain use InfoWorks RS and other use Autocad 3D associate with Google Earth In

this study the main aim is to provide flood hazard mapping and identify the rivers

that contribute to flood The flood map was evaluated based on areas and perimeter

of the floodplain The data was collected from Urban Section of DID Sarawak The

digitizing process was used in order to complete the flood mapping process GIS

application also used to achieve other objectives The analysis show the flood prone

area in Sarawak include the river that contribute to floodpain It was 51636 km2 and

94428 km of floodplain in Sarawak Usually there were 550km2 and 600km was

cover with flood For the conclusion Samarahan and Mukah was the division that

always experience with the flood problem due to the number of river that contribute

to flood and percentage of area that covered by flood This research can help people

to understand and get informed the frequent flood area and being prepared for the

flood occurrences

ABSTRAK

Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang sering berdepan dengan

masalah banjir Masalah ini membawa kepada kemusnahan harta benda dan juga

nyawa Sarawak merupakan salah satu negeri yang sering berdepan denga masalah

banjir Pada tahun 1963 2004 dan 2009 Sarawak mengalami banjir yang teruk di

dalam sejarah negeri Sarawak Bertitik tolak daripada masalah tersebut tebatan

banjir telah di bina untuk mengawal masalah ini daripada berulang Walau

bagaimanapun pembinaan tebatan banjir memerlukan beberapa informasi bagi

menjangkakan kawasan yang kerap berlakunya banjir Beberapa kajian telah

dijalankan bagi membina peta banjir untuk membantu dalam pembinaan projek

tebatan banjir Terdapat beberapa kaedah yang digunakan untuk membina peta banjir

antaranya dengan menggunakan lsquoInfoWorks RSrsquo dan menggunakan lsquoAutocad 3Drsquo

bersama lsquoGoogle Earthrsquo Objektif bagi kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti

sungai-sungai yang merupakan penyumbang kepada masalah banjir Keluasan dan

perimeter kawasan banjir akan ditaksir melalui peta banjir yang dihasilkan

Menggunakan data yang diambil daripada Bahagian Urban DID Sarawak proses

pendigitalan telah digunakan untuk menghasilkan peta banjir ini Aplikasi GIS juga

digunakan untuk mengetahui keluasan dan perimeter kawasan banjir Analisis

menunjukkan 51636 km2 kawasan yang mengalami masalah banjir dengan perimeter

94428 km di seluruh Sarawak Pada kebiasaannya keluasan dan perimeter kawasan

yang terlibat dengan banjir adalah 550km2 dan 600km Kesimpulan daripada

penilaian yang dilakukan mendapati bahagian Samarahan dan Mukah merupakan

bahagian yang sering berdepan dengan masalah banjir Ianya berpandukan jumlah

sungai di bahagian tersebut dan juga peratusan kawasan yang dinaiki air Kajian ini

akan membantu penduduk di kawasan yang terlibat dengan banjir untuk memahami

dan mendapatkan maklumat mengenai banjir Selain itu mereka juga boleh membuat

persiapan untuk menghadapi banjir

ABSTRACT

Naturally Malaysia facing with flood problem all over the country This

problem will make worst loses to property and life Sarawak is one of the state in

Malaysia which facing with this problem In 19632004 and 2009 Sarawak

experience the worst flood event all over the year Hence the flood mitigation rush to

built in order to control the flood However before the flood mitigation plan is built

there are several information need to be develop in order to predict the flood area

Several research had been done in order to develop the flood hazard mapping

Certain use InfoWorks RS and other use Autocad 3D associate with Google Earth In

this study the main aim is to provide flood hazard mapping and identify the rivers

that contribute to flood The flood map was evaluated based on areas and perimeter

of the floodplain The data was collected from Urban Section of DID Sarawak The

digitizing process was used in order to complete the flood mapping process GIS

application also used to achieve other objectives The analysis show the flood prone

area in Sarawak include the river that contribute to floodpain It was 51636 km2 and

94428 km of floodplain in Sarawak Usually there were 550km2 and 600km was

cover with flood For the conclusion Samarahan and Mukah was the division that

always experience with the flood problem due to the number of river that contribute

to flood and percentage of area that covered by flood This research can help people

to understand and get informed the frequent flood area and being prepared for the

flood occurrences

ABSTRAK

Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang sering berdepan dengan

masalah banjir Masalah ini membawa kepada kemusnahan harta benda dan juga

nyawa Sarawak merupakan salah satu negeri yang sering berdepan denga masalah

banjir Pada tahun 1963 2004 dan 2009 Sarawak mengalami banjir yang teruk di

dalam sejarah negeri Sarawak Bertitik tolak daripada masalah tersebut tebatan

banjir telah di bina untuk mengawal masalah ini daripada berulang Walau

bagaimanapun pembinaan tebatan banjir memerlukan beberapa informasi bagi

menjangkakan kawasan yang kerap berlakunya banjir Beberapa kajian telah

dijalankan bagi membina peta banjir untuk membantu dalam pembinaan projek

tebatan banjir Terdapat beberapa kaedah yang digunakan untuk membina peta banjir

antaranya dengan menggunakan lsquoInfoWorks RSrsquo dan menggunakan lsquoAutocad 3Drsquo

bersama lsquoGoogle Earthrsquo Objektif bagi kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti

sungai-sungai yang merupakan penyumbang kepada masalah banjir Keluasan dan

perimeter kawasan banjir akan ditaksir melalui peta banjir yang dihasilkan

Menggunakan data yang diambil daripada Bahagian Urban DID Sarawak proses

pendigitalan telah digunakan untuk menghasilkan peta banjir ini Aplikasi GIS juga

digunakan untuk mengetahui keluasan dan perimeter kawasan banjir Analisis

menunjukkan 51636 km2 kawasan yang mengalami masalah banjir dengan perimeter

94428 km di seluruh Sarawak Pada kebiasaannya keluasan dan perimeter kawasan

yang terlibat dengan banjir adalah 550km2 dan 600km Kesimpulan daripada

penilaian yang dilakukan mendapati bahagian Samarahan dan Mukah merupakan

bahagian yang sering berdepan dengan masalah banjir Ianya berpandukan jumlah

sungai di bahagian tersebut dan juga peratusan kawasan yang dinaiki air Kajian ini

akan membantu penduduk di kawasan yang terlibat dengan banjir untuk memahami

dan mendapatkan maklumat mengenai banjir Selain itu mereka juga boleh membuat

persiapan untuk menghadapi banjir

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

INTRODUCTION

This chapter consist of introduction research problem research aim and

objectives research scope significant of research and hypothesis

11 Introduction

Some said ldquo Flood is too much water in the lsquowrong placersquo rdquo The fact is

flood is one of the oldest natural disaster that happened in the world Flood also the

most frequent hazard in Malaysia Flood can occur in any region in countryside or in

cities Due to data recorded by DID Malaysia in 2014 there are is over 30000km2

flooded area and 9 of the total area in Malaysia Also 48 million (20) people

affected by the flood (Bibi Zarina2014) Flood can cause by many reason In

Malaysia the flood occurrences always related to natural phenomenon and human

activities Natural phenomenon like heavy rainfall and high tides Therefore the

human activities related to change in land used rapid uncontrolled development

effect of urbanization inadequate drainage facilities obstruction in rivers and solid

waste debris (Keizrul2004)

12 Problem Background

Sarawak is located on Borneo island which is the third largest island in the

world Also as the largest of Malaysiarsquos thirteen states Sarawak also known as a

2

state with longest river in Malaysia and having plenty of river basin In each basin boundary

there are several main river There are 22 major river basin all over the state In each major

river basin boundary there are plenty of main river These rivers plays many roles to the

environment and the main source for water supply In other hand the rivers also as one of

the main source for the flood problem

Sarawak always facing with flood problem when ever there is rainy season or

during North East Monsoon in November to Februari The worst flood event was in 1963

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

3

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

2004 and 2009 But in previously 10 years Sarawak experience almost flooded event every

year whether it is worse or normal flood Flood occurrence in Sarawak also related to the

natural phenomenon and human activities

Due to natural phenomenon Sarawak which is located immediately north of the

equator and it experiences two monsoons yearly The North East Monsoon which usually

occurs between November to February brings with it heavy rainstorms The annual average

rainfall is above 3000 millimeters During these rainstorms flooding in the low-lying areas

and natural floodplains along many rivers and even in some urban areas are common Some

said the high tides also cause for the flood occurrence in Sarawak River but due to DID

Sungai Sarawak tides is fully controlled by Kuching Barrage and Shiplock

13 Research Problem

Sarawak facing with the worst flood event in Sarawakrsquos history beginning in the

year 1963 Then Sarawak facing with this natural disaster more often until year 2013 Even

though there are many mitigation flood have been planned all over Sarawak but the flood

matter still not conquer Every year we still heard about flood occurrence in every division in

Sarawak

In order to evaluate the floodplain the flood prone map was develop by DID to

shows the area that affected by flood But the flood prone mapping is only a flood forecasting

based on the previous flood data (Jones2004) This flood prone area was used to develop an

early warning of the flood occurrence According to DID Sarawak (DID2014) the flood

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood

prone mapping that they develop is for 100 years ARI and updating the flood prone mapping

whenever there is a flood event

14 Research Aim and Objective

Research aim and objectives of this study can showed the importance of this

study It also related to the problem statement above Hence the objectives of this study are

i To produce a flood mapping areas and identify the river that contribute to

flood

ii To evaluate the flood mapping based on areas and perimeter

15 Research Scope

This study was conducted at Sarawak as the biggest state in Malaysia Consist of

eleventh (11) division Sarawak having the most river stream in Malaysia There were thirty

five (35) gazette river all over division These river was the main contributed of flood

occurrences

Using GIS application to achieve all the objectives especially in order to

produced floodplain area The hardcopy data that obtained from DID was transferred into

digital form with additional other hydrology data such as flood history

Evaluate the data using GIS application like calculate the areas and perimeter of the

floodplain from the flood map The frequency of the flood area and perimeter also calculated

and appear in histogram chart

16 Significant of Research

4

The benefits and expectation from this study are

i The data analysis can give appropriate information to the villagers and

concern bodies

ii These analyse data can educate people about flood and preparation on

facing flood problem

iii The Flood Hazard Mapping area will give the appropriate information on

how far the flood can reach

17 Hypothesis

The research will shows the affected area by flood due to the flood data that

recorded by DID Sarawak But the flood data only show the water level at several areas So

the flood prone mapping will be show the appropriate areas that affected by the flood

The GIS tool can calculate the affected areas in kilometer square (km2) Also it will

gave a result on how far the flood can reach based on measurement in meter (km) The

frequency areas and perimeter also calculated so that we can evaluate the most comment

areas and perimeter that affected by flood
