Housing Reconstruction

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.

Purpose Social capitals in a community are in the form of bonding, bridging and linking through social networks. This paper aims to determine the role of social capital in the recovery process of cultural heritage sites. It identifies the existing social capital and the role of community. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on the existing literature reviews complemented by the questionnaire survey. Three disaster-affected cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu were selected for the study. The questionnaire survey and group discussion with 300 disaster survivors were conducted. Findings This paper discusses social capital and its limitations for recovery. It proposes a new model of disaster recovery based on social capital and community. Research limitations/implications This research is based on the region with high social capital. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test in the low social capital community. Practical implications The approach of disaster recovery discussed in this paper can be implemented in the cultural heritage rebuilding after the disaster. Social implications This paper is based on social capital and community involvement. This paper identifies the importance of community involvement in the recovery. Originality/value The paper identified that during the recovery, in addition to social capitals, the role of community participation is unavoidable.

Abuse Treatment

La prevalencia del abuso de sustancias constituye un problema creciente entre las mujeres de bajos ingresos en Puerto Rico. El acceso a tratamiento puede jugar un rol importante en la remisión, sin embargo muy poco se sabe sobre su utilización. Además, se desconoce el papel mediador del capital social en la utilización de tratamientos para abuso de sustancias. Este estudio examina el papel relativo del capital social y otros factores en la obtención de tratamiento para abuso de sustancias entre mujeres de 18 a 35 años que viven en áreas urbanas de alto riesgo en San Juan, Puerto Rico.   ABSTRACT The prevalence of substance abuse constitutes an increasing problem among low-income urban women in Puerto Rico.

Further, the mediating role of social capital in substance abuse treatment utilization is unknown. This study examines the relative role of social capital and other factors in obtaining substance abuse treatment of women ages 18-35 living in high-risk urban areas of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
