ABSTRACT
Effective strategies could be generated by understand the problem through system thinking. Besides curing Covid-19, the government needs to formulate good risk communication to their society thus the society could accept the right message and act the right response. Before formulating the good risk communication, it is important to understand the society and their perception toward the pandemic. The understanding of perception is necessary to the balance response between risk and response. The exploration through Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) can show the structure of given system and help to capture a mental model. This study aims to develop CLD model of risk perception toward government attempts in handling Covid-19, so the government can formulate the strategies by proposing suggestion based in risk perception of society. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Gap of information regarding the risks of Covid-19 conveyed by the government to the public will result in various problems such as socio-economic impacts, loss of trust in the government, and even loss of life. The problem of communicating the risk of Covid-19 is complex because the problems that occur will be interrelated and affect each other. Different perceptions of society and the government in viewing the risk of Covid-19 can hinder the completion of Covid-19 cases. This problem should be seen as a system. Systems dynamics is a discipline that focuses on the research and analysis of information feedback systems. By modeling a risk communication strategy, this study aims to mapping research opportunity of Covid-19 risk communication problems related to soft variables and developing modes for their resolution by using system dynamic. © 2021 IEEE.
