Abstract

Abstrak. The research was conducted to analyze the effect of damage, losses and economic pressures on the length of recovery of family assets experienced by families victims of flash flood in Garut in 2016. This study used a cross-sectional method and a retrospective study involving 120 examples selected disproportionally stratified random sampling by place of residence namely in shelters and non-shelters (60 families each). The results showed that there were no significant differences between damage and losses and the duration of recovery of assets in families living in shelters and non-shores, while economic pressures were higher for families living in shelters. An important finding of this study is that the average length of asset recovery is 482 months. The regression test results show that the higher the father’s education the faster the asset recovery, while the greater the value of damage and the greater the economic pressure, the longer the asset recovery.
