Abstract
Covid-19 has had an effect on various aspects of life. This study was to compare spatial distribution of covid-19 in Indonesia and Malaysia and its prevention efforts. The design of this study is a comparative study using descriptive analysis. Research was carry out in June through September 2020, taking location in Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia and Perak, Malaysia. Research focuses to data on infected positive patients with covid-19. Research data uses a secondary data, which is official statistics of covid-19. Statistical data then tabulated and mapping. The administrative map of both research sites used as a basis for the production spatial distribution map of positive patients infected with covid-19. Research shows that the number of positive patients infected by covid-19 June through September 2020 in five districts of Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia continued to increase significantly. Judging from time, spatial factors changes in covid-19 risk zones occurred in June to September 2020. Public movement and open access to Central Java Province causes 5 districts on Yogyakarta Special Region enter the high risk zone covid-19. Compared with Perak, Malaysia it different, spatially covid-19 infected number of positive patients in Perak, six district are relatively steady and four district are increasing. The increase occurred in Kinta District of July and August 2020, Kerian District of August 2020, Kuala Kangsar District of July 2020, and Perak Tengah District of September 2020. Judging from time, spatial factors do not changes the covid-19 risk zone from June to September 2020. Public movement and open access to Kedah, Kelantan, and Selangor caused two districts in Perak enter the high risk zone covid-19, five districts enter the medium risk zone covid-19, and three district enter the low risk zone covid-19. Indonesia and Malaysia's government efforts to prevent the spread of covid-19 are almost the same, which are restrictions on several public activities, clean and healthy socialization of living behaviour in all sectors, implementation of health discipline protocol in new normal, and provide of update covid-19 information data. The difference, lies in implementation lockdown, which some areas in Indonesia include Yogyakarta Special Region do not apply on Large Scale Social Restrictions (LSSR) like Jakarta, while a full implementation of lockdown in Malaysia through Movement Control Order (MCO) including Perak, so a growing number of covid-19 cases can be more pressure.
Highlights
In December 2019, reports of a virus outbreak in Wuhan, China, and spread rapidly across areas of the world, including Indonesia
Public movement cause of all district of Yogyakarta Special Region to enter the high risk zone for covid-19, this is supported by open access to the Central Java Province
In June to August 2020, it is can be seen that the highest number of positive patients infected with covid-19 in Yogyakarta Special Region was in Sleman District, followed by Bantul District, Gunungkidul District, Yogyakarta City, and the lowest in Kulonprogo District
Summary
In December 2019, reports of a virus outbreak in Wuhan, China, and spread rapidly across areas of the world, including Indonesia. As the number of confirmed cases covid-19 in Indonesia continues to increase, the Indonesian government designated the covid-19 epidemic as a nonnatural national disaster. Malaysia is not unlike Indonesia, it is affect by covid-19 and has imposed emergency status, but the number of confirmed deaths is far below Indonesia. Spatial mapping using the Geographic Information System (GIS) today is especially important in providing information about affected areas of covid-19, which this study can help to see differences in the spread of covid-19 in Indonesia and Malaysia. GIS plays a major role in visualization and tracking confirmed cases, predictions of regional transmission, spatial segmentation of risk levels and prevention. Digital maps provide a communication tool for delivering spatial distribution of covid-19 to the public and to the authorities so that efforts to prevent the spread of covid-19 in the region can be do in time
