Abstract

Disasters impact family life through economic and psychosocial disruption, which can reduce marriage quality. This research aims to analyze the influence of the family environment, vulnerability, and regenerative typology on the marital quality of families of earthquake disaster survivors in the Cianjur district. This research was conducted using a cross-sectional study design. The population of this study comprised families of earthquake survivors in Cianjur Regency. The respondents in this research were the wives of 200 earthquake survivors in Cianjur Regency. This research was approved by the Human Ethics Commission of the Bogor Agricultural Institute (Number 1063/IT3.KEPMSM-IPB/SK/2023). Data analysis was performed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that marital quality is influenced by the family environment, vulnerability, and regenerative typology. The results also show that the family environment negatively affects family vulnerability and, consequently, the regenerative typology. It is anticipated that the government, academics, community organizations, and other communities will collaborate to provide post-disaster psychosocial assistance through counseling and family consultations. This will help to relieve stress and tension due to various psychosocial problems and improve the quality of marriage. In disaster-prone areas, disaster risk analysis is needed for physical and social aspects, and integration is needed in regional development planning, especially family development, to minimize the impact of disasters on the quality of marriage. The novelty of this research is that it measures marital quality under post-earthquake conditions.

 

Keywords: family, disaster survivors, marital quality.
