ABSTRACT
Urban areas have interaction characteristics that favor the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. The lifestyle of urban communities with higher close contact influences the speed of the spread of Covid19, which makes cities play an important role in the transmission of Covid19. Surgo Ventures' Covid19 Community Vulnerability Index variable is used to analyze the community vulnerability in Surakarta Greater Urban. Statistics from government agencies were used to collect data on population, heterogeneity, housing conditions, health care systems, and environmental risks, which were then analyzed in the sub-district spatial unit. The findings show a close correlation between the aggregate value of the Covid19 Community Vulnerability Index (CCVI) and the rate of spread of Covid19 both in the city center and the urban fringe. However, the variable with the strongest correlation in the urban area differs from the variable in the urban fringe area. Furthermore, there are differences in vulnerability in urban communities. This demonstrates the need for different Covid19 handling strategies in different communities, despite the fact that they are all part of the same urban service system. The identification of these determinants may subsequently contribute to the design of cities that are better prepared for future pandemics.
ABSTRACT
Climate change does not only occur in general conditions, but also during a pandemic. Public green open space is seen as part of ecosystem services that play a major role in recovering from climate change, especially during the pandemic. But, higher accessibility to public green open space also means a higher risk of spreading infection due to the greater opportunity for people to meet each other. This study aims to see the use of green open spaces in Surakarta, even in pandemic Covid-19. The spatial correlation between Covid-19 cases and green open space usage will provide an overview of green open space usage in areas that has different risk of covid-19. Because green open space is an infrastructure that has the potential to be utilized by the community to improve health during a pandemic, it is also necessary to anticipate the behaviour of using green open space by the community. Therefore, in this study, the public's perception of using green open space before and after/during the pandemic will also be seen. The results shows that green open space usage in Surakarta decreased during pandemic. But, it is not because of the pandemic, but because of the weather and personal reasons.
