This study puts emphasis on disaster resilience and attempts to understand and validate the recovered Songhe tribe that was heavily struck by severe large-scale mudslides caused by two consecutive typhoons, Mindulle and Aere, 12 years ago. The objective is to understand the disaster process of mudslides and the formation of local people and resilience towards disasters. 29 volunteer inhabitants who have experienced mudslides were interviewed on how they developed their disaster resilience and how they reconnected with their environment. The research concluded that Songhe residents were equipped with basic resilience after mudslides. In addition, Songhe residents gained disaster experience through time, education and disaster occurrence, which altered their understanding, attitude, and ability to coexist with disasters. This research takes Songhe as an example in the hope of setting up a reference study for further investigation in the field of disaster resilience.
