Indonesia, especially in the DKI-Jakarta area until now. To reveal this reality, qualitative research methods are used where the data obtained is processed by organizing and sorting the data into patterns or categories and descriptions of basic units so that they can be read and interpreted. Based on the facts and phenomena obtained in the field, the research results are as follows: First, the role of soldiers in accelerating the handling of the pandemic is carried out through interaction with the community, supported by the implementation of an active role in providing assistance that has been carried out effectively despite fears of resistance with the community. Second, the form of the TNI's role is shown by active coordination starting from the early stages to the present in handling the pandemic. in addition, the appeal for handling the pandemic is conveyed through the Social Communication strategy and conducting monitoring and evaluation as a basis for formulating future strategies. Third, the involvement of the TNI in accelerating the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic is supported by personnel resources who, in terms of quality and quantity, are eligible to be involved in handling the Covid-19 pandemic, and are supported by a presidential policy that is made as a legal umbrella in its implementation.

Barrier, The inhibiting factor in the involvement of the TNI in accelerating the handling of the covid pandemic is the lack of knowledge and lack of awareness of the public about the dangers of covid 19 and state budget support that is sourced from the APBN but is limited in its use and can impact on the defense budget allocation. From these findings, a Major Proposition can be drawn up. The role of soldiers in accelerating the handling of the pandemic is carried out through interaction with the community and active coordination with other institutions followed by monitoring in order to show that the TNI is indeed needed because it is supported by soldier resources and the right policies in handling the pandemic, regardless of still not optimal awareness and budget support in its involvement. The above results support the main theory (grand theory) used in this study, namely the theory of role aspects from Bidlle and Thomas in Sarwono (2005) which mentions important aspects of behavior in roles, namely: expectations, norms in roles that are realized by social interaction, form role and role assessment. However, in the behavioral aspect of the role studied regarding the involvement of the TNI in the Acceleration of Pandemic Response, the behavioral aspect of the role does not accommodate expectations in the role because the expectations about the role are the expectations of others about appropriate behavior, which should be shown by someone who has a certain role. Expectations about this behavior can be generally accepted, can be expectations from a group of people, and can also be expectations from one particular person, this is because at the beginning of this involvement the TNI's role in handling the pandemic there were still pros and cons regarding its involvement. which should be shown by someone who has a certain role.

Risk Management and Healthcare Policy
Introduction: In the absence of vaccines and specific drugs, prevention effort has been attributed as the primary control mechanism of COVID-19. Knowledge, attitude, and practice are used to determine the current situation and formulate appropriate control interventions as well as risk communication. This study, therefore, aims to assess knowledge, attitude, practice and information needs about COVID-19 in Indonesian society. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey in the third week of August 2020. Purposive and random sampling was used to select the respondents. People with a minimum age of 18 years and residing in Indonesia were allowed to participate in this study. The survey was conducted with an online questionnaire that spread on several platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook by distributing the link and continuous chain messages on that platform. Data were analysed using descriptive, chi-square and logistic regression test. Results: A total of 816 respondents were included in this study. In general, public knowledge about COVID-19 was sufficient, but some topic areas were still low. Most people had a positive attitude about the COVID-19, but they provided a negative response to government policies. Most of the community has taken preventive measures for COVID-19. However, some behaviours received a low percentage. Information about how to prevent COVID-19 was the most wanted information during this pandemic. Social media was a favourite source of information, with the most popular type of visualisation was a table containing numbers. Age and education were significantly associated with knowledge. Some attitudes were affected by age and occupation scope. Gender and health insurance ownership significantly associated with preventive measures. Conclusion: This research highlights the importance of providing valid, effective, efficient, and continuous information to the public through appropriate channels to increase understanding about COVID-19 precautions.

The global pandemic Covid-19 has disrupted many lives in Indonesia. In February 2020, the unemployment rate in Indonesia reached 4.99% and will worsen due to the pandemic. Interestingly, based on the World Giving Index, Indonesia has been consistently placed within the Top Ten of Most Generous Countries in the World since 2016, and occupied the first ranking in 2018. In relation to this, this research aims to investigate these interconnected issues, especially how local communities responded during the Covid-19 crisis to reduce the impact. This study applied two stages of methodology, namely the qualitative media analysis using NVivo, complemented by a descriptive statistical analysis using a questionnaire. It is found that the social activities trend among communities in Indonesia during the period of the pandemic is volunteering and donation activities. Furthermore, Indonesia has handled the Covid-19 pandemic by leveraging available groups and networks, the trust and unity built in the Indonesian philosophy, collaboration between groups, increasing social cohesion and inclusiveness of aid, and finally by implementing and supporting government policy and actions.

In the beginning, the pandemic panicked the people of Cibiru. Over time, the case fell in line with the increasing number of patients recovering. In addition, different views between elements of government make people surrender and believe in the power of nature's creator. Under these conditions, the researchers were interested in learning more. The study was conducted using a descriptive analysis of a number of parties regarding economic and social activities. The results show that there are three important components: First, trust builds the creator and reduces to the government component, communication that a number of parties do not work consistently when responding to COVID-19, and enforcement of unclear rules. In a nutshell. The citizens, grouped into two groups, agree that a pandemic is dangerous and urge them to follow values in the form of existing rules. Also,The pandemic communication competes in a short time and therefore cannot be carried out interactively.The government’s assertiveness of forcing residents to be at home becomes difficult as compensation can be granted for lost opportunities to seek family income Lastly, due to the preparation of the strategy that precedes the arrival of a pandemic, it cannot be face wisely.
