This study models and tests the life recovery process of survivors from the 1995 Kobe earthquake using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on the Hyogo Prefecture Life Recovery Survey data. The research outlines the factors influencing life recovery, satisfaction, and adjustment, exploring critical elements and antecedents affecting the long-term effects of disaster recovery. It also discusses the need for a shift in the conceptualization of recovery and the importance of understanding recovery as an ongoing process. The study highlights the significance of social, community, and family support in facilitating life recovery and adjustment post-disaster.

What is known and trends for improving recovery and reconstruction following disasters a) there exists a need to shift the conceptualiza-tion of recovery from linear and outcome based to seeing it as an ongoing and long-term process. b) antecedent recovery studies tend to be “overly descriptive, fragmented, and short-term oriented” c) not much attention has been paid to link a disaster response phase to a recovery phase. d) more research is needed in order to understand the long-term effects of disaster recovery (Wenger, Rubin, Nigg, Berke & Bolton, 1996).

Conclusions • The current study aimed to develop and test causal models of long term life recovery processes among those who experienced the 1995 Kobe EQ. • Based on reviews of preceding studies in Japan and US, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to the data obtained by the 2003 Hyogo Prefecture Survey on disaster survivors (N=1203). • A final SEM model provided causal chains of recovery promoting factors, recovery process and recovery outcome.
