Journal Title: Journal of Urban Development and Management - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Quality of Life is important but often neglected, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Health and economic aspects are currently getting more attention. Therefore, this study tries to measure the Quality of Life of the community during a pandemic, especially when physical distancing is implemented. To measure Quality of Life, the data was collected using a survey conducted electronically using the Google form application. The instrument used in data collection was adapted from WHOQOL instruments. Data collection began after one year of the adoption of a physical distancing policy by the Indonesian government and carried out for one month and collected 370 respondents after filtering. This study shows that the Quality of Life of the community in general is not different from the aspect of the characteristics of the respondents. Family income, age and length of time for physical distancing are domains that affect several Quality of Life domains. Strengthening of religious values, subsidy schemes to maintain family income levels and length of physical distancing can be used as policies taken by the government related to the Quality of Life due to global pandemic disasters.
