Four years after the devastating Gorkha earthquake, the people of Nepal still live every day with the problems the world left behind.
The Nepal Gorkha earthquake in April-May 2015 killed 8790 people, injured 22,300, and damaged around a million buildings. A survey conducted in 2018 found that the economy recovered in three years, 90% of people were back in their homes after four years, and infrastructure and non-domestic constructions took five years to rebuild and repair. Respondents felt that the quality of housing and earthquake safety had improved, but more needs to be done in technical training on earthquake-resistant construction in rural and remote areas. The study aims to identify the factors affecting the speed and quality of recovery after the disaster.
