There are strong indications that the built environment intertwines consistently with the advent of COVID-19 and the need
for post-disaster recovery. Efforts to combat the menace call for an integrated human social capital index; which little
research has adopted over the years in the framework of people and place study in Nigeria's context. This study proposes a
framework examining the impact of a resilient built environment in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Multivariate data
analysis of AMOS software was used to analyze and test the research hypotheses proposal; while a confirmatory factor
analysis was used to evaluate the reliability and validity of each construct in the model. This study reveals that built
environment capitals, disaster management indices, and awareness on the Covid-19 have indirect effects on Covid-19
pandemic indices through Human social capital. The implication of the study is useful for Post-Covid 19 recovery; which is
important for future planning of the built environment in Nigeria.
