This research examined the role of social capital in the disaster recovery process in Indonesia using two outcome proxies i.e. the days that the victims spend in the temporary housing and the housing reconstruction that households has done. The author refers to previous studies that capture the significant effect of social capital to the recovery process. OLS and 2SLS model have been utilized for estimating the outcome, which include the uniformity of religion and ethnicity as control variables. The estimation results show us that participation in head of village voting has a positive significant relationship to the days that the victims spends in temporary shelter. Meanwhile, social capital has no significant impact to housing reconstruction option since households still take financial issue as their main concern. Further research that include households’ pre-disaster mitigation like insurance and technology implementation need to be conducted, to obtain a more comprehensive insight in this field.
