Abstract

This article aimed to point out how communities adapted to COVID-19 pandemic by studying the concept of adaptation theory. The study found that the communities adapted themselves to survive the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The important factors were: 1) Leadership factor which leaders successfully communicated accurate information to community members and coordinated with relevant departments outside the community to get help. 2) Community member factor which the members of community had unity and collaboration to solve problems with a profound relationship system and cordial support. And 3) community administration factor which the community administration was precise with proper and clear duty breakdown structure, internal community management plan, implementation and assessments. In addition, the community was a self-reliant community both during normal times and during various crises. The community members had good conscience towards the community with civil consciousness and attitude regarding the problems of the community and had intention to join the responsibility and solve the problems together.
