Urban Community Resilience Amidst the Spreading of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): A Rapid Scoping Review

Abstract

This article aims to examine the existing current studies in urban community resilience related to the pandemic (COVID-19 Pandemic) and to raise a sense of urgency in future research for the model building of urban community resilience during the next pandemic if any. Our review is based on 47 articles considered eligible following inclusion and exclusion criteria after identifying, screening, and prioritizing the title and abstract of 703 records. The insights are organized by three indicators that affect community resilience. The first is the urban community’s vulnerabilities during a particular pandemic. Second, the types of community organizations in dealing with the impact of the pandemic. Third, key dimensions to build community resilience. We draw some intriguing takes for future research that needs to focus on community resilience after the pandemic cases have hit the ground, as a need to draw lessons for the new normal and future challenges and to examine the social learning and transformation process to establish community resilience.

A Systematic Review on Non-Governmental Organization Role and Strategies During COVID-19 Pandemic

“…This study had involved 14 articles from all over the world. The country of the origin includes Brazil (Coriolano & de Oliveira, 2021), Cambodia (Henley et al, 2021), Thailand (Lau et al, 2021), Malaysia (Murdad et al, 2022), Nepal (Larmar et al, 2021), Hong Kong (Lau et al, 2021a), Indonesia (Rela et al, 2022), India (Peteet, Hempton, Peteet, & Martin, 2020) and five articles involved global data since it is a review article (Geekiyanage et al, 2021); (Ningrum & Subroto, 2022); (Santos & Laureano, 2022); (Sajjad & Eweje, 2021) and (Juhász & Hetesi, 2023).…”

“…Those living in slum communities, for example, had been heavily impacted by this pandemic since Their condition left them incapable of socially remove themselves, lacked access to masks and water for washing, and required behavioural instruction to reduce their exposure to COVID-19 contamination (Peteet, Hempton, Peteet, & Martin, 2020). Furthermore, as for the urban community, vulnerability caused by COVID-19 includes lack of primary health care, food shortage, loss income, poor housing, loss in trust in governance, lack of water, sanitation and hygiene and stigma of COVID-19 (Ningrum & Subroto, 2022). In addition, job opportunities and livelihoods had been negatively affected by COVID-19 in cities, especially among those involved in urban production, input supply, and marketing (Murdad et al, 2022).…”

“…Given the government's lack of proper health facilities, insufficient health workers, extensive food supply chains, and minimal social security, the contribution of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) cannot be overstated (Ningrum & Subroto, 2022). Despite this desperate situation, experts from NGOs and industries are reported to be left behind and sometimes neglected during drafting of any Standard of Procedure (SOP), guidelines, acts, regulation and policy (Kasmani et al, 2021).…”

“…NGO's have also started to use social media such as Facebook as a way to spread relevant information. In addition, NGOs provided technology tools such as the telephone to the community to enable them to take advantage of these technologies (Ningrum & Subroto, 2022) and (Narasri et al, 2020). The telephone provided also allowed NGOs to make direct contact with affected families (Larmar et al, 2021).…”
