Abstract

Although research on housing and settlement is not new, however, little is known about the concept of resilience in the resettlement of disaster-affected communities. The ability of housing to meet the needs of occupants has become a major challenge. As an adaptation process, changes that lead to failure to maintain the principle of resilience become a phenomenon that often occurs. With a case study of post-disaster housing Pager Jurang and Dongkelsari in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, this article analyzes the changes occurred in relation to housing resilience understanding. This research was conducted by analyzing the changes associated with the understanding of housing resilience by using a descriptive qualitative approach based on direct observation, interviews, and analysis of secondary data and literature. Physical, spatial, and culture become 3 main issues that are analyzed and linked to social capital and physical capital to find a new understanding of housing resilience. The study finds that the understanding of resilience should not only focus on physical and measurable matters but also need to give greater focus to non-physical matters which in the longer phase turned out to be very significant on the level of housing resilience and play a major role in its sustainability.
