  Abstract
  This paper is about modeling social resiliency of communities under volcanic risks. The model is based on causal-relationship factors that contribute to the development of social resiliency of communities. Resilience in the model is measured by the variable 'intention to prepare' and is predicted by factors at individual, community and institutional level. The hypothetical model was then proposed and tested using data from communities living in the southern flanks of Mt. Merapi (n =322), Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Two possible results were obtained and they confirmed that the social resilience of communities in the study area is mainly predicted by the community-level variables and institutional variables.
