- Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on public health, with Jakarta being the most affected area in Indonesia. To combat the spread of the virus, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has implemented innovative policies aimed at eradicating transmission, providing treatment and recovery services, and promoting a clean and healthy lifestyle. This study analyzes the government’s responsiveness to the pandemic and its policies using John Rawls’ social justice theory. Qualitative research and content analysis were used to analyze the government’s policies, followed by a focus group discussion to refine the findings. The results demonstrate that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has been responsive to the needs of the community, implementing dynamic and innovative policies covering education, health, socio-economics, and violence against women and children. Despite challenges, the government’s efforts have been successful in combatting the pandemic. The study’s implications suggest that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s responsiveness could serve as a model for other regions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
