Identifikasi Ruang Manuver Menuju Resiliensi Komunitas di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

Since firstly announced as an infectious case in Indonesia in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted to the economy, society, culture, education, and the environment. Although the government has moved with various stimuli, policies and continues to improve vaccination programs, there are still many things that ultimately force people, communities, and individuals to move independently as a form of resilience to this pandemic situation. Community Architects (ARKOM) and informal communities within this group network have worked for a long time in realizing inclusive, disaster-responsive, and participatory settlements. Through a participatory and bottom-up approach that places the community as the main subject of development, ARKOM has succeeded in making a significant contribution to the growth of community resilience to disasters. However, the COVID-19 pandemic presents different challenges than previous disasters. As a new model of disaster, the COVID-19 presents a different challenge where the recovery process and the prevention of its impacts should go hand in hand. Therefore, seeing disaster as both a challenge and an opportunity to develop, this study aims to document the resilience process shown by informal communities during the crisis moment of the COVID-19 pandemic.This research takes the lens of room of maneuver that was initiated by Safier consisting of strategic, technical, organizational, and social dimensions based on the movement in the field generated by ARKOM and the communities within. The research method is based on data collection and analysis using snowball techniques through in-depth interviews with respondents involving the community and facilitators in the field
