Navigating Multidimensional Household Recoveries Following the 2015 Nepal Earthquakes
Summary
The research adds to disaster aid literature, offering a unique dataset and methodology for understanding multidimensional recovery dynamics at household and settlement levels. Recovery from natural disasters varies and evolves over time based on vulnerabilities. This research studies the 2015 earthquake's impact on rural recovery in Nepal. The paper surveyed 400 households at two intervals, using NMDS analysis to explore indicators and relationships. Recovery differed based on livelihoods, displacement, and accessibility. Dam-inundation zone households awaited relocation. It shared findings with stakeholders, linking quantitative analysis with experiences.
