Abstract

2020 was the start of the toughest year for the world community in general, especially Indonesia in the health sector. The outbreak of the Covid-19 case in various regions requires clear and accurate information in efforts to deal with this pandemic. This study aims to spatially map the vulnerability of COVID-19 based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The method d used is a weighted overlay. The data used are population (P), population density (PD), elderly (EP), school students (SS), and hospital beds (HB). The analysis s used is a spatial analysis using ArcGIS 10.8. The results of the study show that North Pontianak District has a very high vulnerability to COVID-19. West Pontianak District and Pontianak City have high vulnerability. South and East Pontianak sub-districts have moderate vulnerability. For Pontianak Tenggara District, the level of vulnerability to COVID-19 is very low. The vulnerability to COVID is very low in Southeast Pontianak District because it has the smallest population, low density, few elderly people, few school-age children, and lots of hospital beds. An information system is an effective tool in conveying information on the spatial distribution of the level of vulnerability of Covid-19 in an area, so that steps and handling policies can be  taken according to existing priorities.
