This research is motivated by the phenomenon of social restrictions as an effort to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by maintaining physical distance or reducing direct contact between individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Studies on the Gudang Karang community are one of the interesting things to research with the aim of knowing how social mechanisms and adaptations occur in the Gudang Karang community as a form of social resilience in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the portrait of community social resilience that occurs in the Gudang Karang community. Interviews with informants were used in order to gather information to answer research questions. The research findings show that the Gudang Karang community has succeeded in going through a process of social resilience by responding to challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic as evidenced by the transformation from Kampung Tangguh, then becoming a Disaster Response Village, and leading to the Empowered Villages Program (KASNO). The results also show that the concept of social resilience that occurs in the Gudang Karang community complements the structural-functional theory by emphasizing the importance of the ability of individuals or groups to adapt and recover from difficult situations.
