This paper investigates the role of Islamic faith-based organisations (FBOs) in Indonesia and examines the way in which their disaster recovery aid can be successful or less successful depending on social capital formation in communities affected by a disaster. The paper argues that Islamic FBOs play a prominent role in disaster-affected communities by building new social capital or strengthening existing social capital. Failure to do so may affect a community's recovery and its long-term resilience. Applying a framework that considers three types of social capital-bonding, bridging, and linking-from a comparative perspective, the paper discusses two cases of disaster recovery: one following the earthquake that struck Aceh in 2013; and the other after the Mount Kelud volcanic eruptions in East Java in 2014. In both instances, the findings highlight the importance of the village facilitator, cultural sensitivity, and understanding of local indigenous and religious practices for successful disaster recovery.

Local Abstract: [Publisher, Japanese] 本論文では、インドネシアにおけるイスラム教の信仰に基づく組織(FBO)の役割を調査し、災害の影響を受けた地域社会における社会資本の形成を通じて、その災害復興支援がどのように成功するか、あるいは失敗するかを検証する。イスラムFBOが新たな社会資本を構築したり、既存の社会資本を強化したりすることで、災害の影響を受けた地域社会で重要な役割を果たしていると論じている。これがうまくいかない場合、コミュニティの回復と長期的な回復力に影響を与える可能性がある。本論文では、3タイプの社会資本(絆、橋渡し、つながり)を比較の観点から検討するフレームワークを適用し、2013年のアチェ地震と2014年の東ジャワのケルド山の噴火後の2つの災害復旧事例をそれぞれ論じている。どちらの場合においても、調査結果は、災害復興を成功させるためには、村のファシリテーター、文化的配慮、地元の先住民族や宗教的慣習を理解することの重要性を浮き彫りにしている。. [Publisher, Chinese] 本文探讨了印度尼西亚的伊斯兰信仰组织 (FBOs) 的作用，并探讨了他们在受灾社区形成社会资本来提供灾难恢复援助的成功或失败的方式。该论文指出，伊斯兰信仰组织通过建立新的社会资本或加强现有的社会资本，在受灾社区发挥着重要作用。如果不这样做可能会影响社区的恢复和长期复原力。本文从比较的角度应用考虑三种的社会资本(结合、桥接和连接)的框架，分别讨论了 2013 年亚齐地震和 2014 年东爪哇克鲁德山火山爆发后的两起灾后恢复案例研究。在这两种情况下，研究结果都强调了村庄协调员、文化敏感性以及了解当地土著和宗教习俗对于成功实现灾难恢复的重要性。.
