Abstract

Natural disasters are events that are difficult to avoid and can be accurately predicted. In September 2018, one of Indonesia's regions, specifically Palu, Central Sulawesi, just experienced a natural disaster. Victims of natural disasters face very complex situations and conditions, both physically, psychologically and socially. Losing someone close to you can cause sadness, anger, regret, and strong emotional experiences. Human ability to be able to rise again and continue life after experiencing difficult situations or experiences is known as resilience. Resilience aspects increase the likelihood that disaster victims can recover from their past experiences, so that they become stronger individuals and find a better life. The purpose of this study was to determine the aspects of resilience in victims of natural disasters in Palu. This study used a qualitative research method with interviews as a data collection method. The results showed that four subjects had aspects of emotional regulation, impulse control, optimism, causal analysis, empathy, self-efficacy, and reaching out. Meanwhile, one other subject only has aspects of causal analysis, empathy, and reaching out. Based on the research results it is known that the five subjects have resilience in having resilience in facing difficult situations or pressures that occur in their lives due to natural disasters. Although the resilience of each subject is not entirely the same, overall they can be said to be resilient in carrying out life after a disaster.
