The Traditional Value of the Sasak Lombok Community Regarding Handling COVID-19: A Literature Review

Abstract

Several previous studies have shown that values and traditions as local wisdom of the Sasak community can be a prospective alternative solution in dealing with COVID-19, but no researcher has reviewed the results of previous studies. This study aims to illustrate the traditional value of the Sasak people in handling COVID-19. This research method combines qualitative research with the study of literature. The data used in this study is secondary and comes from research articles published in the last three years in national and international journals. Article search techniques use keywords from Scopus and ProQuest databases as well as Google Scholar. There are four articles that are relevant and fit the research inclusion criteria. The results showed that the traditional values of the Sasak community have a positive impact on handling COVID-19, such as the values of compliance, togetherness, and psychological resilience.
