Siti Rokhimah, Ehrmann Suhartono

Abstract


The Covid 19 pandemic that occurred in the world made all humans limited in space and time in their activities. The rapid transmission has created a new trend in life where social contact is minimised to avoid massive transmission. The impact of this is very significant, especially for both central and local governments in terms of revenue and expenditure. The government is refocusing the budget on the health sector as a form of clarity on budget targets in response to the covid 19 pandemic. In this case, of course, it will have an impact on the performance of services provided by local governments, especially those that intersect directly with the public. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of local government services that will be compared during normal times (before the covid 19 pandemic) and during the covid 19 pandemic, especially district / city governments in East Nusa Tenggara Province. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method and uses secondary documents in the form of local government financial reports at districts / cities in East Nusa Tenggara Province in the 2017-2021 range. This study uses the service solvency dimension to measure it by dividing the amount of fixed assets owned by the local government divided by the population in the area. The results show that service solvency in district / city governments in East Nusa Tenggara Province, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic is higher than before the Covid 19 pandemic. The government is very prepared for the Covid 19 pandemic conditions in terms of services because in this condition the service solvency is higher than during normal conditions.
