Construction of Community Perceptions on Government Effort in Managing the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Covid Score-10 Approach

Abstract

Countries around the world are still serious about dealing with the spread of COVID-19. No country in this world has been able to get out of the pandemic. The number of patients dying, recovering, and sick shows a graph increasing every day. To stop the spread of COVID-19, uniformity and support from the community are needed. The expected result of this research is to find out and construct knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of the community towards the Covid-19 handling program that has been and will be carried out by the government. The research method uses a descriptive quantitative Covid-10 approach with an online survey method using a questionnaire provided in the form of a google form application. Data was collected by stratified random sampling and disseminated through the media with a sample of 1,191 respondents in the DIY Region. Most respondents (95.1%) support the government's efforts to change behavior in dealing with the pandemic. However, 42.1% of respondents feel that the government has made the right programs and policies.
