Urban Space Adaptation in Jurnatan Kampong in the Pandemic Era

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic and other global risks such as disaster and climate change force people and cities to cope with adaptation behaviour. Urban kampong and the inhabitants should do adaptive respond to reduce the virus spreading. New normal adaptation is a new behaviour to deal with health protocol and a fast-changing environment. Several kampongs and residents implement New Normal in their adaptation, but the rest organize the adjustment. At the same time, some adjustments do not meet the health protocol requirements due to the crowded kampong challenges to apply physical distancing. Consequently, several kampongs make their peculiar adaptation to fortify their area from pandemic risk and create specific adaptation behaviour. This paper wants to examine the adaptation behaviour in the urban kampong. This research tries to conduct qualitative approaches to seizure the condition in Jurnatan Kampong. The possible result is an actual adaptation behaviour pattern in the urban kampong. Lastly, grounded on the outcome, we will recognize the appropriate action to support peculiar adaptation in an urban kampong in the pandemic era.
