Case Study on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Social and Economic Life in Tangerang

The world has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including in Tangerang. This study investigates the impact of the pandemic on the social and economic lives of people in the area. The study uses a qualitative approach that collects data through in-depth interviews and surveys. The study shows that the pandemic has reduced social interactions due to the cancellation of many community activities and mobility restrictions. On the economic side, many small and medium businesses have experienced a decrease in revenue, causing more people to leave their jobs and become unemployed. In addition, people face difficulties in accessing education and health services. The results are expected to help policymakers create a more sustainable and efficient post-pandemic recovery plan.
