Supporting Factors Victim coping strategies are spiritual beliefs, material assistance from State institutions, and support from the victims' social environment. On the other hand, the inhibiting factor of the fire victim coping strategy is the uneven distribution of aid patterns and the absence of experts in the field of counseling or psychology.
