The April/May 2015 Nepal earthquakes and aftershocks had catastrophic impacts on rural households living in biophysical extremes. Recoveries from natural hazards that become disasters have tangible and intangible short- and long-term dynamics, which require linked quantitative and qualitative methods to understand. With these premises in mind, we randomly selected 400 households in two accessible and two inaccessible settlements across two of the highest impacted districts to assess variation in household and settlement recoveries through tangible impacts to infrastructure and livelihood and intangible impacts to place attachment and mental well-being. We conducted household surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus groups over two tenweek intervals at 9 months and 1.5 years after the earthquakes and returned at 2.5 years to share and contextualize results. Previously, we used non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination to illustrate associations among recovery indicators, demographics, and adaptive capacity domains composed of multiple variables. Results indicated that socio-economic status, hazard exposure, livelihood, and displacement influenced recovery outcomes the most. Here, we triangulate and broaden those findings with 797 surveys, 40 interviews, eight focus groups, and eight research return workshops to illustrate the tangible and intangible dynamics of shortterm recoveries through three interconnected and multi-faceted thematic sections: 1) inequality; 2) hazards, livelihood, and displacement; and 3) place, uncertainty, and mental well-being. Our contributions include: 1) providing a linked quantitative and qualitative dataset with a random sample collected at two short-term post-disaster time intervals; 2) illustrating how inequalities shape tangible and intangible recovery dynamics; and 3) documenting linkages between recovery and nascent transformations.

2015年4月/ 5月，尼泊尔地震和余震对生活在极端生物物理条件下的农村家庭造成了灾难性影响。从自然灾害中恢复成为灾难，短期和长期的变化是有形的和无形的，这需要用定量和定性的方法相结合来理解。考虑到这些前提，我们随机选择了两个受影响最大的地区中的两个无障碍住区和两个无法进入的定居点中的400户家庭，通过对基础设施和生计的有形影响以及对依恋和心理健康的无形影响来评估家庭和定居点恢复的变化。存在。我们在地震发生后9个月和1.5年的两个十周间隔内进行了家庭调查，深入访谈和焦点小组讨论，并于2点返回。5年的时间分享结果并根据情况进行总结。以前，我们使用非度量多维标度排序来说明恢复指标，人口统计数据和由多个变量组成的自适应容量域之间的关联。结果表明，社会经济状况，危害暴露，生计和流离失所对恢复结果的影响最大。在这里，我们通过797个调查，40个访谈，八个焦点小组和八个研究回报研讨会来对这些发现进行三角化和扩展，以通过三个相互关联且涉及多个方面的主题部分来说明短期回收的有形和无形动态：1）不平等; 2）危害，生计和流离失所；3）地点，不确定性和心理健康。我们的贡献包括：1）提供一个链接的定量和定性数据集，其中包含两个短期灾后时间间隔收集的随机样本；2）说明不平等如何影响有形和无形的恢复动力；3）记录恢复和新生转化之间的联系。
