Hambatan dan Strategi Bertahan Para Penyintas Covid-19: Studi Kasus Wirausaha Kuliner di Yogyakarta

Pajar Hatma Indra Jaya

Abstract

This study explores the survival strategies employed by Covid-19 survivors to improve their economic activities, with a specific focus on culinary entrepreneurs. Despite recovering from the virus, these individuals continue to face obstacles in resuming their businesses. Limited research has been conducted on the strategies adopted by survivors after their recovery, particularly in the culinary sector. This paper presents qualitative data collected through observation, document study, and interviews. The study includes twelve informants from six cases of Covid-19 transmission, purposively selected to investigate their perceptions and practices regarding economic survival post-recovery. The findings reveal that Covid-19 survivors encounter social exclusion in the form of isolation when attempting to resume work. The fear of societal stigmatization and maintaining distance from survivors results in a lack of community support, leading to economic stagnation for over a month. Despite efforts to obtain a health certificate from the government, the survivors struggle to restore normalcy. Consequently, they adopt various survival strategies, although these methods often require a considerable amount of time to achieve full recovery. To address this issue, the Indonesian House of Representatives should provide support, including oversight of government policies. It is recommended that when the government forces the closure of a business, they must also offer assistance and facilitate the official reopening after the recovery period. This approach will help restore consumer confidence and expedite economic recovery. It is crucial to learn from these findings to better prepare for similar situations in the future.


Abstrak:


Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi strategi bertahan yang digunakan oleh penyintas Covid-19 untuk meningkatkan aktivitas ekonomi mereka, dengan fokus khusus pada para pengusaha kuliner. Meskipun telah sembuh dari virus, mereka ini tetap menghadapi hambatan dalam melanjutkan usaha mereka. Penelitian mengenai strategi yang diadopsi oleh mereka setelah pulih, terutama di sektor kuliner, masih terbatas. Makalah ini menyajikan data kualitatif yang dikumpulkan melalui observasi, studi dokumen, dan wawancara. Penelitian ini melibatkan dua belas informan dari enam kasus penularan Covid-19, yang dipilih secara sengaja untuk menyelidiki persepsi dan praktik mereka terkait bertahan secara ekonomi setelah pulih. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa mereka yang selamat dari Covid-19 menghadapi eksklusi sosial dalam bentuk isolasi saat mencoba untuk kembali bekerja. Rasa takut akan stigmatisasi sosial dan menjaga jarak dari mereka yang sembuh mengakibatkan kurangnya dukungan komunitas, yang mengakibatkan stagnasi ekonomi selama lebih dari sebulan. Meskipun telah berusaha mendapatkan hasil tes negatif dari pemerintah, mereka masih kesulitan kembali ke kondisi normal. Oleh karena itu, mereka mengadopsi berbagai strategi bertahan, meskipun metode ini sering kali membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama untuk mencapai pemulihan penuh. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Indonesia sebaiknya memberikan dukungan, termasuk pengawasan terhadap kebijakan pemerintah. Direkomendasikan agar ketika pemerintah memaksa penutupan suatu bisnis, mereka juga harus menawarkan bantuan dan memfasilitasi pembukaan kembali resmi setelah masa pemulihan. Pendekatan ini akan membantu mengembalikan kepercayaan konsumen dan mempercepat pemulihan ekonomi. Sangat penting untuk belajar dari temuan ini agar dapat lebih siap menghadapi situasi serupa di masa depan.
