aftershocks, landslides and debris flow).

The main analysis examines the impacts of natural

disasters mainly to the local economy, social activity

and physical/environment.

Conclusion

This study revealed an evidence that can be used to support the claim that monthly

income of the villages was reduced after the disaster. The most significant evidence is the increase in the

percentage of households with a monthly income below RM500 in every village (which means more people have fallen into the “poor” category) which is then

directly related to the decrease in households with a monthly income between RM501 and RM2500.

However, this study cannot confirm/conclude whether the poor people (income below

RM500/month) in the study area is attributed to the reduced revenue for categories

other than under RM500.

Thus, regular research should be conducted promptly to describe this relationship in

greater depth and find out whether the decline in income was due to a disaster or

otherwise
