Abstract

This research is a sociological study with the unit of analysis is 5 families in Makassar City. The focus of the study is the socio-economic implications due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the direction of social change. This research study starts from the forms of social implications caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. After that, it discussed the forms of strategies carried out by the community to deal with social and economic problems caused by Covid-19. This is related to government policies in the form of implementing lock down and social distancing. The government’s policy to limit activities, especially in the economic field, has become a dilemma for people who work as day laborers and other economic sectors that require activities outside the home. The results showed that there was a fundamental change in the patterns of meeting the needs of the community who tried to adjust to the conditions by switching professions or creating new types of income sources.
