Spiritual Aspects of Community in Preparedness to Face Earthquake Disasters: Literature Review

Introduction: Community preparedness for earthquakes is a crucial aspect of disaster risk reduction (DRR). Spiritual factors are considered a component that influences how communities perceive risks, respond to threats, and recover after a disaster. Research Method: This study aims to analyze the role of community spiritual aspects in earthquake preparedness through a review of international and national literature published in 2010–2024. Result: The results of the study show that spirituality plays a role in shaping risk perception, increasing psychological coping abilities, strengthening social capital, expanding the function of religious institutions, and supporting the post-disaster recovery process. Conclusion: Integrating a spiritual approach into community-based DRR programs can be an effective strategy in strengthening the social and psychological resilience of communities living in earthquake-prone areas.
