Abstract

This research investigated how social capital took parts in the process of disaster recovery in Indonesia using two outcome proxies i.e. the days that the victims spent in the temporary housing and the housing reconstruction that households built. The study is referred to previous studies capturing the significant effects of social capital to the recovery process. OLS and 2SLS models were applied to estimate the outcome, including the uniformity of religion and ethnicity as control variables. The estimation results show that during the initial phase of disaster management in Indonesia, participation in head of village voting had a significant positive relationship to the days that the victims spent in temporary shelter. Meanwhile, social capital did not significantly give impact to the housing reconstruction option due to the financial issue as the households' main concern. To obtain a more comprehensive insight, a further research that includes households' pre-disaster mitigation like insurance and technology implementation needs to be conducted
