Abstract

The emergence of a phenomenon in the public space that has the  potential for conflict, because there are those who act as faceless
movement actors who have networks or networks, which are used as sources of social action. An action is called a social action, because the
subjective meaning is associated with individuals who act and take into account the behavior of others. Humans are actors who try to combine
personal characteristics that are addressed to others. The purpose of this research is to find out and understand the background of Social Conflict
based on the Covid-19 Phenomenon, in the perspective of Social Action theory and Dramaturgy Theory. This study uses a qualitative approach.
Data was collected through tracking information from various social media, and related documents and literature studies relevant to this
research. This study shows that social conflicts are caused by misunderstandings, both the community and the government in
addressing the issue of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is broadcast through social media, as hoaxes or as social facts. The government's
inability to provide public comfort from the issue of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the digital era. The government's thinking structure and
policies have been infected with the manifest interests of power.
Lockdown cannot be carried out because of the consequences for Covid- 19 exporting countries, not being able to freely enter certain areas in
Indonesia. There are certain actors who have succeeded in using the social media space to produce public panic. Massive panic occurs in the
community which has an impact on the emergence of weak mental illnesses that directly affect humans, so they are powerless to do
anything.
