Abstract

Tanjungpinang is a city within an archipelago with a unique geographical structure and composition of the population. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a change in behavior in most communities. This study aims to provide an overview of parenting style and relationship patterns of the Chinese community in Tanjungpinang, in the context of Chinese New Year celebrations, which were conducted exactly two months before the COVID-19 Pandemic. Participants of this study were 5 families living in Tanjungpinang, as well as the community that was involved in the Chinese New Year celebration. The study was conducted using a qualitative method, and an ethnographic approach. Data collection was conducted through observation and in-depth interviews. The study shows that although different, the parenting style of the five families tend to be authoritative. Relationships between community members tend to be formal and not intimate. However, there is strong mutual respect among community members. Gadget usage is high among the younger generation, and this can affect social awareness. The use of gadgets by the younger generation is expected to become more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings show the influence of community context on family and individual behavior in Tanjungpinang, and this supports the ecological theory by Bronfenbrenner.
