Abstract: The purpose of this study is to reveal the impacts of the relationship between the social support given to disaster victims and their resilience to the disaster. Social support was subdivided into emotional, appraisal, information, and instrumental support. The effects of each support on the resilience of the victims who experienced the disaster were analyzed using Hierarchical regression. The analysis results of this study are as follows: First, analysis of all of the disaster victims showed that emotional support, appraisal support, and instrumental support had a positive impact on their resilience to disaster. Second, analysis of the victims who experienced large-scale damage caused by the disaster revealed that emotional support was the only type that influenced their disaster resilience. Third, analysis of victims who experienced minor damage from disasters revealed that social support did not have a significant impact on their resilience.
