Abstract : Results from previous studies found that the low of quality of life (QoL) in the temporary flood transfer centers (TFTCs) exists due to inadequate of food supply, no understanding between evacuees, the congestion of TFTCs, and the unsuitable and insufficient equipment used. Besides that, the flood victims are also exposing to dangerous diseases cause by water pollution. Consequently by stress these scenarios, this aim of this study to investigate the role of flood victim condition as a Moderator Variables towards their QoL at TFTC. Results indicate that flood victim’s conditions plays significant impact to total variance in QoL. This research was conducted in 21 TFTCs at East Coast Region of Malaysia during flood events at end 2016 until early 2017. This study uses quantitative and qualitative approaches by collecting literature relating directly and indirectly with the QoL of flood victims. Data will analyses using IBM SPSS Statistics and IBM SPSS AMOS in order to run the several tests and using Nvivo11 to managing the information for primary and secondary data. Index Terms - Quality of life, temporary flood transfer center, moderator variables, quantitative and qualitative approach.
