Abstract
The establishment of the Covid-19 Prevention Mutual Assistance Task Force Based on Desa Adat in Bali, places Desa Adat as the spearhead of handling Covid-19 throughout the island in Bali. The role of Desa Adat as one of the policy actors who collaborate in handling Covid-19 in Bali in general and in Denpasar City in particular is highly expected. This qualitative descriptive study aims to analyze the role of Desa Adat in handling Covid-19 in Denpasar City. Analyzing the role of Desa Adat as the spreadhead in handling Covid-19 in Denpasar City is interesting, because with the issuance of a Joint Decree of the Governor with the Bali Province Desa Adat Council, as one of the policies for handling Covid-19, it has not been able to play an optimal role. Data were collected through observation, literature study and interviews with informants who were determined by purposive sampling. The results show that the role of Desa Adat in handling Covid-19 has not been optimal because the achievement of activity objectives has not been in accordance with the plan. Alternative decisions still depend on the various potential resources of each customary village. The ability to utilize the limited resources owned is still not optimal in alternative decisions. Meanwhile, the factors that hinder the optimization of the role of Desa Adat in handling Covid-19 in Denpasar City are internal and external factors of Desa Adat.
