Abstract

This research demonstrates the concept of disaster resilience in suburban communities that are vulnerable to floods with a comparative analysis research technique that involves a literature review examining existing research on flood resilience, urban and rural building techniques, and post-disaster housing reconstruction. Literature review to understand the characteristics of infrastructure repair and upgrade in suburban areas in different regions and different development levels that are vulnerable to flooding and affected communities and identify the mitigation strategies in the fields of disaster management, architecture, engineering, and culture to ensure the durability and stability of infrastructural structures from disaster in conserving the cultural heritage of Kogi state communities towards achieving sustainability.
