Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has not only had an impact on public health, but also the condition of the economy, education, and social life. The decline in these activities has an impact on the socio-economic conditions of the community, especially the vulnerable and poor. A development concept emerged from the Resilient City, namely the Health Resilient City, which is an urban system that is able to maintain adequate protection for the population, the economy, and the environment to enable it to continue to grow sustainably in response to the Health crisis. To realize a Health Resilient City, the first effort that needs to be done is to assess the level of community resilience to pandemics that occur in socio-economic aspects. This assessment was conducted in the city of Bandung, with the observed variables being the rate of economic growth, the number of poor people, food prices, food security programs, efforts to protect the business world, social assistance, business model innovation, community empathy, cultural-based handling, and local wisdom, dissemination of information, crime rates, and the number of people who have been vaccinated. The approach taken is a descriptive quantitative approach with the Rapfish Analysis. Based on the results of the analysis that has been carried out, the level of community resilience in the socio-economic aspect is in a position of moderately resilient.
