Abstract: The COVID 19 pandemic has a significant impact on the lives of the poor, who are getting tougher. This
paper aims to describe the social resilience of the poor and vulnerable through the “DAPUR BUDE” program
during the COVID 19 in Yogyakarta. This study involving 160 respondents and ten informants determined
by purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that
most respondents were female, of productive age, married, and had secondary education. Before the COVID
19, the majority of respondents (86%) worked in the informal sector. However, during the COVID 19, 56.67%
of respondents lost their jobs (became unemployed), and the poverty rate increased by 35%. Program initiated
by LPPM Bina Insan Mandiri to improve the social solidarity to support food security affected by COVID 19
and people as the elderly, disabled, orphans and others. The program has served 1023 beneficiaries with
16,063 food packages. It is program has proven to be a solution for the poor and vulnerable to survive the
social shocks caused by the pandemic. It recommends creating in handling the impact of pandemic synergy
programs and services between the government, NGOs, civil society, and the business world to optimally
access the affected by COVID 19 services need.
1 INTRODUCTION
On March 2, 2020, for the first time, Indonesia
confirmed the entry of the coronavirus, namely with
the discovery of two positive patients who were in
treatment at the Sulianti Saroso Infection Center
Hospital, Depok. The first identified new coronavirus
named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV2) in Wuhan City, Hubei
Province, China, in December 2019 (Odriozola-
González et al., 2020; Tan et al., 2020). Diseases
from viruses that attack the human respiratory system
are called Coronavirus Dieses 2019 or COVID-19
(Wu et al., 2020; Yuliana, 2020), can move quickly
from human to human through direct contact (Li et
al., 2020; Rothe et al., 2020). Pane (2020) stated that
COVID-19 could attack anyone, from children, adults
to the elderly.
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a
new type of coronavirus with common symptoms
such as fever, fatigue, cough, convulsions, and
diarrhoea (Repici et al., 2020; World Health
Organization, 2020a). The initial symptoms of
COVID-19 are mild to severe flu and are equivalent
to or even more potent than MERS-CoV and SARS-
CoV (Kirigia and Muthuri, 2020). COVID-19 is
spreading rapidly within China and to other countries
(Wenjun et al., 2020) and has made it one of the most
infectious diseases in modern history (Wilder-Smith
and Freedman, 2020). Worldmeter (2021), noted that
until September 26, 2020, COVID-19 had spread in
215 countries globally with a total of 32,832,766
cases infected, 997,743 people died, and 24,213,521
people recovered. Sahin (2020) added that since the
first diagnosis on December 12, 2019, the COVID-19
virus has infected more than 51 million people and
resulted in more than 2 million deaths.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health
Organization (2020b) declared that the outbreak
caused by the coronavirus was a global pandemic that
spread throughout the world (Baig, 2020) and caused
a global health crisis (Loey et al., 2021). Both
developed and developing countries have the same
opportunity to be affected by COVID-19, therefore
World Health Organization urges all countries to
prepare anticipatory steps against the threat of

COVID-19 seriously. Furthermore, the World Health
Organization added that the meaning of a pandemic
has nothing to do with the severity of the disease, the
number of victims or infections, but is more
meaningful in the spread of the virus that spreads
rapidly and hits all countries in the world (Sitorus and
Hidayat, 2020). Thus, a pandemic is a health term that
refers to the spread of a disease that affects large
numbers of people (Bao et al., 2020; Jubba, 2021).
In the absence of helpful treatment strategies or
vaccines, the only effective public health intervention
for managing infectious diseases is controlling
person-to-person infection through social distancing,
isolation, quarantine, and community containment
procedures (Cetron and Simone, 2004; Masters et al.,
2020; Wilder-Smith and Freedman, 2020). Although
these measures were effective in significantly
reducing the transmission rate of COVID-19, they
resulted in large-scale unemployment and a
significant downturn in the Dutch economy (van Zyl,
Rothmann and Zondervan-Zwijnenburg, 2021).
Yusuf et al. (2020), stated that COVID-19 had social,
economic, and political impacts. Meanwhile, Cooper
et al. (2020), showed that the COVID-19 pandemic
affected human physical and mental well-being.
Some of these views have something in common in
seeing the Covid- 19 pandemics; namely, they both
emphasize the relationship between COVID-19 and a
universal threat to humanity (Anand et al., 2020).
Regarding COVID-19 cases in Indonesia, as of
May 31, 2020, based on data from the Task Force for
the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19, there were
26,473 people, with an overall recovery rate of 7,308
COVID-19 patients, or 27.6% of the total cases and
figures. The recorded death toll of positive corona
patients was 1,613 people. This figure is equivalent
to 6.1% of the confirmed cases for the COVID-19
case in the same period, D.I. Yogyakarta recorded,
236 positive patients, with 161 instances recovered
and 8 cases died. As of December 31, 2020, the
registered number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia
was 743,198 people, with 611,097 recovered cases
and 22,138 deaths (Sagita, 2020). For the COVID-19
case in the same period, D.I. Yogyakarta recorded
11,898 people, with 8,056 recovered cases and 260
deaths (Dinnata, 2020a).
The massive spread of the pandemic, the
government implemented various policies such as
social distancing, stay at home, social restrictions,
limited area locks and so on. This policy increased
poverty and unemployment. The data from the
Central Statistics Agency for the Special Region of
Yogyakarta (DIY) (The Central Statistic Agency D.I.
Yogyakarta, 2020), the poverty rate in DIY in March
2020 rose to 12.28% compared to September 2019 at
11.44%. In March 2020, the number of poor people
in DIY was 475,720 people. This number increased
by 34,800 compared to September 2020 of 440,890
people. The poverty line in DIY also increased to IDR
563,479, from the condition in March of IDR
449,485, to capita for a month. Meanwhile, the open
unemployment rate in DIY increased by 3.338% as of
February 2020. This figure increased by 0.52%
compared to February 2019 of 2.86% (Dinnata,
2020b).
To protect the public from basic food needs from
the government to Beneficiary Families, the
government launched social assistance programs.
Social assistance, according to the Regulation of the
Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of
Indonesia No. 20 of 2019, is assistance in the form of
money, goods or services to a person, family, group or
community who are poor, unable and or vulnerable
to social risks. Shahidi et al. (2019), explained that
social assistance is a government program that
provides support at the minimum income level for
individuals and families living in poverty. Syawie et
al. (2018), added that social assistance is an act of
government and non-government to channel
resources to vulnerable groups to reduce vulnerability
and risk to work and helps those who live in poverty.
Norton et al. (2020) social assistance maintains
income and access for the poor both in cash or goods
against.
In Indonesia, social assistance programs include
the Family Hope Program, Basic Food, Cash Social
Assistance, and other social assistance that reaches
the lower classes of society in meeting basic food
needs. The targets of the social assistance program
are individuals and families with poor socioeconomic
conditions in the implementation area listed in Social
Welfare Integrated Data (DTKS) issued by the
Budget User Authority (KPA) at the Ministry of
Social Affairs. Its objectives include: (1) fulfilling
basic food needs, (2) maintaining purchasing power,
and (3) provide assistance for the poor and
vulnerable.
The average amounts are 9 million-15 million
KPM. BPS Yogyakarta Province (2020) noted that
out of 3,888,288 people in D.I. Yogyakarta, as many
as 475,720 people or 12.28%, still live below the
poverty line who live across four districts (Bantul,
Sleman, Kulon Progo, Gunungkidul) and one city
(Yogyakarta). The recipients of basic food social
assistance in D.I. Yogyakarta is 370,343 KPM. They
received IDR 200,000/month. Meanwhile, the
number of recipients of Social Cash Subsidies (BST)
is 136,520 KPM. BST distributed IDR 600,000 per
AICOSH 2021 - The Annual International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities (AICOSH) “Life After Pandemic: Perspectives,
Changes, and Challenges”
60
KPM per month (April to June) and IDR 300,000 per
month for June to December (Prabawanti, 2020).
According to Renaldo (2020) the classic problem
in social assistance schemes is the inaccuracy of data
on recipients and the clarity of information, and
complaint channel. Meanwhile, public policy
observer Yogi Suprayogi said that the problem of
social aid lies in the uneven and uneven distribution
of aid (Taher, 2020). It is in line with the study results
Hermawati (2020a), at the beginning of COVID-19
(April-May 2020) from a sample of 150 low-income
families studied in D.I. Yogyakarta Only 48% are
able to access the program. Some respondents did not
receive the subsidies because their name were not in
the list, did not get the information, and did not know
how to access it.
As a response, Hermawati, joined by the
Community Development and Empowerment
Institute (LPPM BIMa), initiated the "DAPUR
BUDE" program (an acronym for Dapur Bima Untuk
sedekah-or Kitchen for Give Away). DAPUR BUDE
is a model of community empowerment based on the
local potential (Hermawati, 2020b). It is based on the
results of research at D.I. Yogyakarta that COVID-19
increased unemployment by 50.22%, decrease
income by 82.3% and a decrease in turnover by
around 40-80%. In addition, 52% of respondents did
not received social subsidy programs from the
government.
We conducted this research to describe the social
resilience model of the poor/affected by COVID-19
through the BUDE DAPUR Program. In addition, it
also wants to examine the existence of the value of
social solidarity in dealing with the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic in the Special Region of
Yogyakarta. According to Keck & Sakdapolrak
(2013), it needs three types of capacities to
understand the concept of social resilience fully. The
three capacities are coping with disturbances (coping
capacities), adaptive capacities and capacities to
change or transform (transformative capacities).
These three capacities can be used as indicators to
assess and analyze the level of resilience of an entity.
The word "social" builds the definition of social
resilience, which according to Rothstein (2005),
shows the relationship between individuals or groups
of humans with other human individuals or groups.
Max Weber has emphasised the aspect of the
interaction between individuals in his definition of
the concept of social action. According to Weber, an
action is "social" if the action is carried out by "taking
into account" the behaviour of others or is oriented to
"allegations about the behaviour of others in the
future" or "expected future behaviour of
others"(Weber, 2001). Cacioppo et al. (2011) have
put forward the definition of social resilience that
includes social relations, which states that "Social
resilience is the capacity to foster, engage this and
sustain positive relationships, and endure and recover
life stressors social isolation".
Based on the sociological perspective, social
resilience is the ability of a social system to maintain
social integrity. Or integration during and or after
being disturbed both from within and outside (Rilus
A. Kinseng, 2019). Because social integration is
essentially a matter of social relations, what Keck &
Sakdapolrak (2013) say is that social resilience is
relational because of power relations with various
social entities and relations with the natural
environment. Referring to Durkheim's theory, the
basis of social integration of a social system is
solidarity, which refers to a state of the relationship
between individuals and groups based on shared
feelings and beliefs that are shared emotional
experiences. If people trust each other, they will form
friendships, respect each other, take responsibility
and pay attention to common interests (Ritzer, 2012).
Durkheim further divides solidarity into two, namely
mechanical and organic solidarity. Mechanical
solidarity is a sense of solidarity based on the
collective consciousness. Organic solidarity is
solidarity that develops in complex groups.
Therefore, solidarity can change from automatic to
organic.
The formed DAPUR BUDE program was to
increase the value of social solidarity among low-
income families in particular and society in general
who experienced severe shocks due to the COVID-19
pandemic. As social beings, humans establish
relationships with other humans in various interests.
Relationships are born from reciprocal interactions
and mutual influence between interacting parties.
Sa’diyah (2016) states that social group interactions
require a process of solidarity to achieve common
goals and maintain group existence. Therefore,
collective awareness as group members is needed to
foster feelings or sentiments of togetherness in
creating group solidarity. The COVID-19 pandemic
has changed people's social relations and forced them
to keep their distance from other people and not do
activities outside the home. It has a significant impact
on the income of low-income families, most of whom
work in the informal sector. With the rules for social
distancing and restrictions on going out of the house,
they do not get income to meet the needs of daily life.
Moreover, many of these low-income families have
experienced layoffs. It assumes that social solidarity
could overcome the difficulties of the poor in meeting
DAPUR BUDE: A Model of Social Resilience for the Poor/Affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Special Region of Yogyakarta
61
their food needs. The values of solidarity, concern,
cooperation, a sense of belonging and sharing, which
are manifestations of the importance of social
solidarity, are expected to help the poor in dealing
with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2 RESEARCH METHODS
This study uses a mixed methods. The type of hybrid
method used is convergent parallel, i.e. it collected
quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, then
the results are interpreted as a whole so that more
comprehensive, valid, reliable, and objective data is
obtained (Sugiyono, 2014; Creswell and Creswell,
2018). This research took place in D.I. Yogyakarta is
in Sleman Regency, Bantul Regency, Kulon Progo
Regency, Gunungkidul Regency and Yogyakarta
City. We carried out to collect the data from June
2020 to December 2020.
The subjects in this study were low-income
families affected by COVID-19 in D.I. Yogyakarta,
which is directly or indirectly involved in the DAPUR
BUDE program. The research sample used a
purposive sampling technique, namely a sampling
technique by setting specific considerations or criteria
(Sugiyono, 2014). The considerations or criteria used
include 1) imperfect/affected families of COVID-19;
2) involved in the DAPUR BUDE program
(implementers and beneficiaries), and 3) domiciled in
D.I. Yogyakarta. For analysis, each DAPUR took ten
respondents as a sample, which taken randomly.
Thus, this research activity involved 160 respondents.
In addition, to strengthen the results of the analysis
conducted in-depth interviews with ten research
informants.
We carried out data collection techniques in two
ways, namely questionnaires and interviews.
Quantitative data were processed using descriptive
statistics. Meanwhile, we gave meaning
(interpretative) to descriptive qualitative data. The
process of data analysis was carried out at the time of
data collection and after data collection. The
analytical model used refers to the model of Miles
and Huberman (Miles and Hubermen, 1994).
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Profile of Respondents
This study involved 160 respondents in the Special
Region of Yogyakarta with the following
characteristics: the majority of respondents (68%)
were female, productive age (30-59 years) 78.37%,
married status (79.38%), secondary education (SMA
& SMP) as many as 63.13%, have 1-2 children
(61,25%) and bear 3-4 lives (52.50%). The data
shows that women from low-income families are the
group most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This data also illustrates the magnitude of the burden
on women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Based on occupation, before the COVID-19
pandemic hit, the majority of respondents (86%)
worked in the informal sector. However, during the
COVID-19 pandemic, most respondents (56.67%)
lost their jobs and were unemployed. The data of this
unemployment rate is from the accumulation of
respondents' jobs in the informal sector as
labourers/employees, traders, and entrepreneurs.
Based on the employment sector, the only industry
that was able to survive amid the COVID-19
pandemic was agriculture/animal husbandry, which
increased by 4%. Figure 1 shows the distribution of
respondents' jobs before and after COVID-19.
Figure 1: Respondents' Occupations Before and During the
COVID-19 Pandemic.
Respondent's income is the accumulation of
husband/wife/child income and income from other
sources for one month. According to the study results,
the lowest monthly income of respondents before the
COVID-19 pandemic was IDR 300,000 - the highest
was IDR 6,500,000, and the average was IDR
1,881,879. While the most insufficient income of
respondents per month during the COVID-19
pandemic was IDR 0 (no income), the highest was
IDR 3,450,000 and an average of IDR 678,858.
Therefore, the amount per capita per month in D.I.
Yogyakarta for 2020 is IDR 463,479. If the family has
an average of 4 family members, then the per capita
income per month is IDR 1,853,916.
If the family has an income below IDR 1,853,916
per month, it is in the poor category. Based on this
calculation, before the COVID-19 pandemic, 55
respondents (36.67%) had income equal to or above
the poverty line. At the time of the pandemic, only 15
respondents (10%) had incomes above the poverty

line. It means that 90% of respondents are in the poor
category. This data concluded that the current
pandemic caused an increase in the percentage of
low-income families by 35
%.
3.2 DAPUR BUDE: A Model of Social
Resilience during the COVID-19
Pandemic
3.2.1 Overview of the DAPUR BUDE
Program
DAPUR BUDE is a program built based on the
solidarity values of the Indonesian people, especially
the Javanese people, who prioritize the importance of
gotong- royong and help each other in dealing with
any problems, including in the face of the COVID-19
pandemic. The basic principles promoted are
humanity, togetherness, mutual assistance, non-
permanent (emergency) and participatory.
The core of the DAPUR BUDE Program is
supporting food ingredients from LPPM BIMa to
imperfect families/affected by COVID-19.
Technically, LPPM BIMa volunteers (low-income
families/involved by COVID-19) processed the food
in their respective kitchens. After cooking, the
volunteer's family consumed some of the food and
distributed the rest to poor families, families affected
by COVID-19 and people with other social welfare
problems such as the elderly, disabled, people with
mental disorders, orphans, abandoned children and
poor people (Rilus A. Kinseng, 2019). The objectives
to be achieved through this model are to overcome
urgent problems (fulfilling the food needs of low-
income families/affected by COVID-19); foster
solidarity, concern and social responsibility among
people with social welfare problems and the
community; and strengthen the synergy between
LPPM BIMa with assistance and various related
parties, especially in efforts to alleviate poverty and
handle the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in D.I.
Yogy
akarta.
3.2.2 Implementation and Development of
DAPUR BUDE
The BUDE DAPUR program was launched in early
June 2020, starting with two kitchens managed by
volunteers assisted by LPPM BIMa. Along the way,
many low-income families experience difficulties in
meeting their food needs due to being laid off from
work or their business not working. Hence, they have
no income and then apply LPPM Bima to establish a
DAPUR BUDE.
Along with the passage of time and the demands
of the community's needs, the number of DAPUR
BUDE continues to grow. As of December 2020, 16
DAPUR BUDE were operating in D.I. Yogyakarta
serving 678 beneficiaries with details: (a) Nine
kitchens in the Bantul area (288 beneficiaries); (b)
Three kitchens in the Sleman area (190 beneficiaries);
(c) Two kitchens in the Yogyakarta City area (150
beneficiaries); (d) One kitchen in the Kulon Progo
area (30 beneficiaries) and (e) One kitchen in the
Gunungkidul area (20 beneficiaries).
As a form of community support and
participation for low-income families affected by
COVID-19, 9 independent DAPUR BUDE have
developed (without food support from LPPM BIMa,
but providing services as part of LPPM BIMa). This
Mandiri DAPUR BUDE serves 345 beneficiaries
with details: (a) Three kitchens in the Sleman area
(110 beneficiaries); (b) One kitchen in the
Yogyakarta area (60 beneficiaries); (c) Two kitchens
in the Bantul area (90 beneficiaries); (d) One kitchen
in the Kulon Progo area (30 beneficiaries) and (e)
Two kitchens in the Gunung Kidul area (55
beneficiaries).
This data shows that the DAPUR BUDE can be
accepted and even receive positive support from the
community in program support, food, labour, etc.
When examined, the data closely shows that DAPUR
BUDE is growing in all districts/cities in DIY,
although the distribution unevenly distributed. The
problems that occur and the demand for services from
one area are different from another. During the
period June-December 2020, D A P U R B U D E a s a
whole has grown to 25 kitchens with a total of 1023
beneficiaries.
3.2.3 DAPUR BUDE Beneficiaries
In principle, each kitchen receives food assistance
with a relatively similar index (food ingredients in the
form of rice, eggs, cooking oil, flour, spices,
vegetables, noodles and others worth IDR 150,000)
for kitchen for every week. In practice, volunteers
have their creations, both in determining the menu,
the number of targets and so on. Not infrequently, they
get support from the surrounding community to
expand the assistance received from LPPM BIMa to
be more so that they can reach a broader target. The
number of food packages distributed by DAPUR
BUDE to 1023 beneficiaries over six months is as
shown in Figure 2.
DAPUR BUDE: A Model of Social Resilience for the Poor/Affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Special Region of Yogyakarta
63
Figure 2.
Figure 2 shows a graph of the food packages
distributed by DAPUR BUDE for a month to
beneficiaries. Overall, for six months, DAPUR
BUDE has distributed 16,063 food packages to 1023
beneficiaries. In October 2020, the food packages
distributed reached a peak compared to other months.
It shows that this is when the poor or those affected
by COVID-19 have felt the hardest. In the November-
December period, the demand for food assistance
decreased because some low-income families had
already found work, income or were covered by
social service, both from the APBN, APBD and
village funds. Figure 3 shows the beneficiaries of the
DAPUR BUDE program from June to December
2020.
Figure 3.
The data in Figure 3 shows that the groups that
receive the most benefits from the DAPUR BUDE
program are the elderly (303 people),
orphans/abandoned children (219 people), families
affected by COVID-19 (157 people) and women who
are socio-economically vulnerable (129 people). The
rest are with disabilities, people with mental
disorders, people with chronic diseases and so on.
Every week this vulnerable group gets food support
from the nearest DAPUR BUDE to survive during the
COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to food ingredients,
LPPM BIMa, through volunteers, also distributed
masks, hand sanitizers and vitamins to beneficiaries.
In addition, while distributing food, the volunteers
also conducted education and socialization related to
COVID-19 and its dangers. They emphasized the
beneficiaries to implement the health protocol to
avoid the transmission of COVID-19.
3.2.4 Community Participation in the
DAPUR BUDE Program
The DAPUR BUDE program can run because there
is budget support. To run this program, LPPM BIMa,
with the help of the business community and
participants (both individually and collectively),
allocates a certain amount of funds every month to
b u y f o o d a n d t h e n d i s t r i b u t e s i t t o each DAPUR
BUDE. The aid index assigned is IDR 150,000 per
kitchen per week, so that for a month each kitchen
gets food support worth IDR 600,000. Table 1
illustrates the support funds allocated by LPPM BIMa
for a month to finance the DAPUR BUDE Program.
The Food Package produced by DAPUR BUDE
considers if it is the calculation of the package with a
price index. A found difference is a form of
community support and participation for the DAPUR
BUDE program.
The data in Table 1 shows that from June to
December 2020, LPPM BIMa has allocated
around IDR 61.800.000 to support BUDE DAPUR
with a target of 1023 beneficiaries. The assistance
disbursed by LPPM BIMa is managed in such a way
by volunteers both independently and collectively
with the community support, therefore that
respondents can distribute some food packages. To
calculate the level of community support, the food per
package is IDR 8,000 and IDR 10,000 (based on the
minimum price in the market). With an index of IDR
8,000 per package, for six months, the accumulated
funds of IDR 128,504,000. Therefore, the community
participation can be calculated at IDR 66,704,000
(107.93%), exceeding the funds allocated by LPPM
BIMa. If the index per food package is increased by
IDR 10,000, then the community participation will be
IDR 98,830,000 (160%). From this calculation,
community participation in the DAPUR BUDE
program is more significant than the stimulant issued
by LPPM BIMa. It means that this program is very
effective in empowering the existing local potential.
Apart from financial, community support is also
significant in human resources (to collect target data,
cook together and distribute aid to beneficiaries). This
model has proven to strengthen solidarity and the
level of community concern, both among the poor

3.2.5 Discussion
The government's policy to implement stay at home,
social isolation, social distance and so on can reduce
the spread of COVID-19. On the other hand, this
policy has increased unemployment and poverty
rates, as stated (Van Zyl, Rothmann and Zondervan-
Zwijnenburg, 2021). This study also found the same
thing, namely that the COVID-19 pandemic that
occurred in Yogyakarta had increased the
unemployment rate by 52.26% and the poverty rate by
53.33%. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to
radical changes in respondents' activity patterns, the
way they work, study, shop and connect with others,
as stated by Antonides & van Leeuwen (2020). The
COVID-19 pandemic has changed the shape of
people's social relations and forced them not to move
outside their homes and keep their distance from
other people. For the upper-middle class, the changes
that occur are relatively easy to adapt; various
activities carried out using online actually facilitates
their multiple activities. However, it does not apply to
the lower middle class. Economically, this new
activity pattern significantly impacts low-income
families who rely on the informal sector for their
livelihood. By limiting social interactions and
activities outside the home, low-income families
cannot earn the income they need to meet their daily
needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused them to
lose their livelihoods and decrease their payment,
which impacts their level of social welfare, which also
reduces.
The COVID-19 pandemic encourages people to
adapt quickly, including in terms of social solidarity.
The habit of helping each other, sharing, supporting
each other and working together between neighbours
becomes social capital to deal with the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The DAPUR BUDE program,
born from the community with NGO facilitation, is in
line with the government's efforts to increase
community social solidarity during difficult times due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. This program to
strengthen food security for the imperfect/affected by
COVID-19 has mobilised many parties, from the
government, business world, mass media and civil
society, to build social solidarity.
During the six months of the program running,
DAPUR BUDE covered 1023 beneficiaries to
survive during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the
spirit of togetherness, cooperation and social
solidarity, this program has proven to be able to
distribute 16,063 food packages to imperfect/affected
families of COVID-19, the elderly, orphans and
neglected children, women with socioeconomic
vulnerability, persons with disabilities, people with
mental disorders, and others in D.I. Yogyakarta.
Financially, the DAPUR BUDE program has also
succeeded in encouraging more than 100%
community participation. Socially, this program has
also proven to strengthen social solidarity in the face
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Social solidarity defined
as a condition between individuals or groups that
carry moral feelings and beliefs and shared honest
feelings (Johnson, Doyle Paul, Lawang, 1994).
It concludes that the DAPUR BUDE Program is a
form of social resilience for the poor in D.I.
Yogyakarta to survive during the COVID-19
pandemic. According to Adger (2000), social
resilience is the ability of a group or community to
cope with external pressures and disturbances due to
social, political and environmental changes. It is in
line with Kwok, Alan et al. (2016), which states that
social resilience is the capacity of people and
communities to face external pressures and shocks.
Complementing the notion of social resilience, Keck
& Sakdapolrak (2013) state that the definition of
social resilience concerns social entities, both
individuals, organizations and communities and their
ability or capacity to absorb, cope with and adapt to
environmental and social threats. Furthermore, state
that we can understand the concept of social
resilience as a whole if it fulfils three capacities,
namely “the capacity to overcome disturbances, the
capacity to adapt and the capacity to change or
transform”.
In this research, the COVID-19 pandemic that
occurred in D.I Yogyakarta has encouraged the
community both individually and collectively to raise
social solidarity through the DAPUR BUDE to
overcome the problems that arose the COVID-19
pandemic. Through DAPUR BUDE, people learn to
adapt and establish social relationships with new
norms that have changed since the COVID-19
pandemic. With their awareness, the community is
also making social changes or carrying out
transformations to overcome problems that arise due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through DAPUR
BUDE, five capitals affect social resilience: human
capital, social capital, financial capital, natural
capital, and physical capital, as mentioned by Ellis
(2020). Therefore, it can be optimized for their
benefits to support the social resilience of the
imperfect/affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and
people with other social welfare problems.
DAPUR BUDE: A Model of Social Resilience for the Poor/Affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Special Region of Yogyakarta

4 CONCLUSION
The DAPUR BUDE program implements the values
of togetherness, cooperation and social solidarity in
the face of the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
This program has proven to be effective in mobilizing
community participation, both economically and
socially, to overcome the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic and overcome other social welfare
problems in the community. This program ran
smoothly and received support from many parties,
both from the government, business, and civil
society. The DAPUR BUDE program has proven to
be an effective model of social resilience in
overcoming the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The DAPUR BUDE Program overcomes the
difficulties of the poor and affected by COVID-19
and people with other social welfare problems in
D.I. Yogyakarta in meeting food needs in the era of
the COVID-19 pandemic. This program can also
optimize the existing social capital in the community
so that it has optimal benefits for the welfare of the
community.
This study recommends: (1) The DAPUR BUDE
program is proven to be effective in handling the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic so that it can be
as a model for community-based local community
empowerment in other locations; (2) For the handling
of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to be
effective, it is necessary to create a synergy of
programs and services between the government, civil
society (NGOs) and the business world so that the
imperfect/affected by COVID-19 can access the
services needed optimally and sustainably.
