1 Social Cohesion and Natural Disaster Loss Recovery of Households: Experience from Bangladesh International Conference on Social Cohesion and Development, January 20-21, 2011, Paris, France 1
2 Introduction Natural disasters increase poverty and deprivation of people of affected areas. Negative effects are not equal for all households. Natural disaster on assets are relatively longer term and more acute for the lowest wealth group than other wealth groups in the society. Due to the natural disaster, some of the lower strata households fall into perpetual poverty traps without having a very little hope of escaping it. The extent of recovery of lost assets also depends on the access to local markets and institutions. 2
3 Introduction If the markers are full and complete, all households have the same access to local markets and institutions. HHs can use loan and insurance contracts for coping with assets and income losses caused by the natural disasters. The loans and insurance contracts help households to rebuild their lost assets quickly. In developing countries, markets-especially credit and insurance markets-are not full and complete. 3
4 Introduction Formal sector credit and insurance markets are not available in many areas in developing countries, specially in Bangladesh. For this reason, HHs depend on informal risk sharing mechanisms, such as mutual insurance, for mitigating and recovering natural disaster losses. 4
5 Social Capital and Natural Disaster The success of a household in terms of the effective utilization of informal credit and insurance contracts for recovering natural disaster losses depends on the level of social capital it posses Putnam (1995) defines social capital as the co-operation and mutually supportive relations in communities and nations. The households in a network with a higher level of social capital are expected to help each other within the network when they face adverse shocks (Fafchamps and Lund, 2002). 5
6 Social Capital and Natural Disaster Carter and Maluccio (2003) finds that trust at the community level, an indicator of the level of social capital, has a positive impact on the mitigation of weather shocks on the nutritional status of children in South Africa. Mongues (2006) suggests that the social network plays a positive role in the recovery and growth of asset of households after environmental shocks in Ethiopia. 6
7 Social Cohesion Social capital is limited compared to social cohesion as it does not incorporate the issue of the distribution of opportunities in an area. Due to this, this paper aims to assess effects of social cohesion of natural disaster loss recovery. Following Maxell (1996), this paper defines social cohesion as building shared values and communities of interpretation, reducing disparities in wealth and income, and generally enabling people to have a sense that they are engaged in a common enterprise, facing shared challenges, and that they are members of the same community. 7
8 Y Y ij ij SCI SCI j j X Econometric model ij COVRISK Z j X u ij i Z j u i Y ij SCI COVRISK SCI * COVRISK j X ij Z j u i Where Y ij = The extent of HH s disaster loss recovery; SCI j = Village level social cohesion index; COVRISK j = Village level disaster covariant risk; X i = A vector of household socio-economic characteristics; and Z i = A vector of village-level characteristics; 8
9 Social cohesion index There is no single universally accepted measure for social cohesion. This paper constructs a social cohesion index (SCI) through taking into consideration three components: social capital, material condition, and social order. The village level social capital incorporates the number of social organizations in the village. The material condition dimension of social cohesion looks into the issue of income variations among households in the village. The social order dimension considers peace and security in the village. 9
10 Data The analysis is based on a household-level survey of randomly selected two thousand six hundred and eighty (N=2680) households from 140 villages in different parts of the country. Besides information on social cohesion, and natural disaster loss and recovery, the survey collected detailed information at the household as well as village level. 10

16 Conclusion There is a significant positive relationship between the village level social cohesion and the natural disaster loss recovery of households. This paper also finds that social cohesion is less effective in those villages where the natural disaster is highly covariant. 16
