Abstract
Regrouping is a government?s policy to solve educational problems existing at the location of Merapi eruption by uniting / regrouping some schools in the eruption zone due to severe destruction at the former school buildings. The aims of the study were 1) to describe the process of regrouping policy and resiliency; 2) to describe the role of social capital of the school resiliency, 3) to describe the usefulness of social capital regarding the development of school?s programs after the eruption.This qualitative research was conducted in SD N Umbulharjo 2 as one of the schools implementing the regrouping policy after the catastrophe. The data analysis techniques involved observation, in-depth interview, focused-group discussion and documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction technique, data display, conclusion and data verification. The validity was obtained through the triangulation methods considering the source of information and time allocation.The result of the research showed that; Firstly, regrouping is a government?s policy regarding the solution regarding educational problems in the eruption zone dealing with creating effective teaching and learning process. Moreover, regrouping can also help the schools? principals, teachers and the students to build school resiliency. Secondly, the school resiliency needs social capital to energize the school?s stakeholders collectively after the eruption to create better teaching and learning process.
