Medical waste in hospitals increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical waste management is very important and includes sorting, transporting, weighing, temporarily storing, and handing over waste to third parties. The Muhammadiyah University General Hospital of Malang (RSU UMM) is a referral hospital for COVID-19. This study aimed to evaluate medical waste management at the RSU UMM during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was an observational, retrospective and descriptive study that was conducted from March 2020 until July 2021. The secondary data were taken from the environmental health unit reports at RSU UMM. The collected data included weights of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 medical waste. Over the study period, there were 1762 COVID-19 patients. The solid waste included disposable waste and personal protective equipment. The medical waste at RSU UMM during the COVID-19 pandemic was more substantial than before the pandemic. The different treatments of medical waste before and during the pandemic were classified by type, weight and frequency of transport. Over the 16 months, 46,649 kg of hospital waste was managed. Keywords: medical waste, COVID-19, weight of waste

Man-made or natural disaster, both create community economic distress; it makes the degree of accessing regular source of community income more difficult to be reached. Within a certain time when there are no improvements in mitigation and anticipation, it will bring poverty in the community.In December 2019 has been found severe acute respiration syndrome coronavirus 2 that identified in Wuhan China and spread worldwide. In Indonesia there was 700,097 cases of infections nationwide and bring to death toll to 20,847. Inability to completely control or prevent disasters, trigger social change. The basis of social change is the changes process of human thought. These changes can refer to the dynamics of cultural values or social evolution. Social change, the process of certain social or cultural development under strong stimulation. Therefore, historical background data are essential in understanding people behaviour. Conceptually, this proposal employ sustainable livelihood in capturing the community's economic distress that is constructed by the environment changes especially the danger of corona virus spread. In portraying community desire and intention in responding the environment changes and other factors that potentially create vulnerable condition cannot be separated from the community assets. Those assets that owned by the community are physical assets, human asset, social asset and financial support. Owing to the aim of this research is to strengthen the process of community adaptation behaviour toward the disaster and other threats; it seems the use of sustainable livelihood approach is methodologically correct. However the limitations of utilising this method require a long term and cyclical process of research. The strength of this method will provide a comprehensive approach in identifying factors that determine the community distress and able to identify community resilience based on the community consensuses through the assets and potencies mapping.
