| Summary: | Cities are vulnerable to a range of hazards and shocks. The
COVID-19 has exposed the direct consequences of limited
preparedness and resilience when facing a global
emergency. In the face of these growing challenges, cities
need the tools and knowledge to plan and mitigate the
adverse impacts. The geospatial approach can play a
critical role in supporting a more resilient urban planning
with meaningful decision-making. Thus, this paper
highlights the extent to which emerging geospatial
approaches have deliberately enabled urban planning
efforts to achieve urban resilience in Malaysia. To do so, we
conduct a systematic literature review on different fields,
and aspects of the geospatial components which consist of
Geographical Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing
(RS) and other relevant ones. The finding shows that
moderate progress has been made on providing and
exploring geospatial data usage by the relevant agencies to
include geospatial data in various urban applications in
Malaysia. Finally, this paper informs the industry,
governmental and non-governmental and academia on
geospatial enablement progress. Simultaneously, we
believe that this tool to assist in urban applications is among
the best promising ones for future sustainability and
resiliency of cities. |
