Abstract

Pandemic Covid 19 has been fading the power of communal and economic communities of the world, various ways to save the condition of this Pandemic has been undertaken by various countries in saving the current socio-economic situation. With a quantitative approach the study was conducted to analyze the model of social capital strengthening of people in Garut district through social economic mitigation based on local wisdom. The research was conducted by doing surveys in 5 sub-districts in Garut Regency through online KKN students participation. The results showed that communities in the area are difficult to maintain social distances because they feel they are still in one sehari2 community, and if anyone from outside they inform the local caretaker. Social capital Strengthening is not carried out by maintaining social and physical distance, but by recognizing the citizens themselves, and if there is a new person advised to introduce it to the local administrator. This way the economic activities in the area can go as usual, so that Pandemic is not so feared, but social values and local togetherness continues to be preserved. Only the economically affected are the citizens who wander and work outside the city alone. Thus, based on the social capital and local wisdom they have, they are able to mitigate the social economy in its environment.
