Natural disasters impacted by climate change are major global problems
threatening the whole ecosystem. The threat of flooding that comes with sea
level rise is one of these threats that threaten %29 of the world’s population.
Due to the rising global warming heavier precipitation, more frequent
hurricanes, and higher sea levels cause floods frequently. With technological
advances, there is a growing demand in different industries to find flood threat
management. Effective flood management requires long-term, anticipatory,
and innovative approaches. This study suggests amphibious structures as a
solution to locations at risk from flooding. Following a review of the literature,
the study will evaluate future climate scenarios and present suggestions for areas
where water-related hazards currently exist or may arise in the future. These
suggestions cover factors such as the use of renewable energy resources in
floating structures and sustainable solutions to climate change. After evaluating
the structures designed in the past and present in terms of sustainability, a
comparison of design examples is presented. The final section discusses the
benefits that floating structures can bring in case of a disaster in Izmir where
there are water-related threats. This paper emphasizes the importance of floating
buildings as a strategy developed against floods and abnormal increases in water
levels due to climate change. Future studies should focus on these sustainable
design solutions to climate change-related disasters.
