Abstract
The global Covid-19 pandemic is practically concentrated in urban areas. However, in some cases, this global virus has also spread in rural areas. As the capital city of Bali Province, Denpasar City represents urban areas, and its suburbs represent rural areas. There is a difference in the number of cases between the two regions, but it is not known whether there is a difference in mitigation between them. This study aims to analyze the differences in the implementation of Covid-19 mitigation between rural and urban areas. This research is exploratory research with in-depth interviews to collect data from key informants, and then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results show differences in the implementation of Covid-19 mitigation between urban and rural areas, both structural and non-structural mitigation. In structural mitigation, urban areas look more competent than rural areas. Meanwhile, in non-structural mitigation, urban areas appear to be more regulation-oriented than rural areas. The difference in mitigation has implications for the vulnerability of the region in the spread of Covid-19 cases.
