The COVID-19 outbreak demonstrates how unprepared the world is for a different type of crisis, especially non-physical calamities. Revitalizing community involvement in disaster management is essential for making a community resilient. Due to differing sociocultural contexts, the resilience perceptions of communities in different parts of the world may vary. This study aims to understand community resilience factors after the COVID-19 disaster in Indonesia and Malaysia. Data from 2034 questionnaires using 5-interrelated domains in the Communities Advancing Resilience (CART) Toolkit Survey were collected. This study was conducted across Indonesia and Malaysia from March to April 2022. A quantitative-based cross-sectional study design and convenience sampling were applied. Respondents for this study were Indonesian and Malaysian citizens above 18 years of age who met the inclusion criteria. A total of 2034 respondents, 715 from Indonesia and 1,315 from Malaysia responded to the survey. The results suggest that Indonesian and Malaysian communities' Transformative Potential and Informative-Communication domains differ significantly. Indonesian communities demonstrated a higher mean value on Transformative Potential domains than Malaysian communities did, while Malaysian communities indicated a higher mean value on Informative-Communication domains. This study concludes that compared to Malaysian communities, Indonesian communities have a more significant potential for transformation because they can frame collective experiences, gather, and analyze pertinent data, evaluate community performance, and develop resilience-building abilities. On the other hand, Malaysian communities are more resilient in providing information and communication. We found the need to develop a community resilience model that incorporates specific cultural and local requirements. Cooperation between the two countries would open many possibilities to emphasize the capability to bounce back sooner after a catastrophe such as the COVID-19 pandemic and achieve Sustainable Development Goals.
新冠疫情大流行表明，世界对不同类型的危机，尤其是非物理性灾难，毫无准备。重振社区参与灾害管理对于提高社区的韧性至关重要。由于社会文化背景不同，世界不同地区社区的韧性认知可能有所不同。本研究旨在了解印尼和马来西亚新冠疫情后的社区韧性因素。本研究使用社区韧性提升工具包调查中的 5 个相互关联的领域，共收集了 2034 份问卷的数据。本研究于 2022 年 3 月至 4 月在印尼和马来西亚进行。采用定量的横断面研究设计和便利抽样方法。本研究的受访者为 18 岁以上的印尼和马来西亚公民，符合纳入标准。共有 2034 名受访者，其中 715 名来自印尼，1315 名来自马来西亚，他们对调查做出了回应。结果表明，印尼和马来西亚社区的变革潜力和信息交流领域存在显著差异。印尼社区在变革潜力领域的平均得分高于马来西亚社区，而马来西亚社区在信息交流领域的平均得分高于印尼社区。本研究得出结论，与马来西亚社区相比，印尼社区具有更大的变革潜力，因为他们能够构建集体经验、收集和分析相关数据、评估社区绩效以及发展韧性建设能力。另一方面，马来西亚社区在提供信息和交流方面更具韧性。我们发现有必要制定一种社区韧性模型，将特定的文化和地方需求纳入其中。两国之间的合作将为强调在新冠疫情等灾难后更快恢复的能力并实现可持续发展目标提供许多可能性。
