Structural Determinants of Household Resilience in Earthquake-Affected Communities: A Case Study from Bawean Island

Abstract

Abstract This study examines the socioeconomic impacts of the March 2024 earthquake on household resilience in Bawean Island, East Java, Indonesia. Data for this study were collected through a survey with a snowball sampling technique, with a total of 221 valid respondents from affected regions. Using a household survey across 12 affected villages and partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the study identifies critical factors contributing to household resilience, namely social, economic, human, and physical capital assets. The findings can be explained in two ways. First, the result confirms social, economic, human, and physical capital as critical resilience determinants. Second, higher household resilience could reduce the impact of natural disasters. This study can be an input for policymakers to strengthen household resilience in disaster-prone areas to support sustainable development goals (SDGs).
