The seven element model of life recovery from the Kobe Earthquake was formed as a result of grass root workshops in the Kobe Total-Quality-Management-based Assessment. The seven elements included housing, social ties, townscape, physical/mental health, preparedness, economic/financial situation, and relation to government. This study aimed to verify the life recovery critical element model by a random sample survey of impacted people. The sample consists of 1,203 adults over the age of twenty who resided in the Kobe-Hanshin region at the time of the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Measures were developed for each life recovery element, and General Linear Model analyses were conducted to examine the effects of housing damage, demography and life recovery elements factors on life recovery. Significant house damage-by-demography interaction effects were found. The least recovered among the young aged group were those whose houses were fully damaged and those who engaged in small business as proprietors. As for the middle aged, the least recovered were 1) those whose houses were half damaged and those who engaged in small business (as proprietors or sales clerks) and 2) those whose houses were fully damaged and those who were unemployed. All seven critical element variables predicted the level of life recovery with moderate to strong significance. Those included housing (types of housing and housing structure), social ties (civic-mindedness, community participation and family system functioning), townscape (awareness of urban commons or a sense of attachment to locale), mind and body (mental stress, physical and mental stress interaction, and general health practices), preparedness (optimistic expectation of future earthquake damage), economic/financial situation (income and savings), and relation to government (willingness to pay, and self governance and communitarianism interaction) . The final model which incorporated housing damage, demography, and the seven critical elements accounted for nearly 60 % of the life recovery variance.
