INTRODUCTION
The phenomenon of Covid-19 first emerged from China which spread throughout
the world with transmission called imports from outside the region (Try Ayu Amanda
Pasaribu, 2021). From the origin of its development there are no strong research results as
to what causes this virus, but analysis by experts suggests that Covid-19 is stronger at
surviving in low temperature and dry areas but can also be in the opposite temperature and
humidity conditions (Yuliana, Ruswanto, Apt, & Farm, n.d.). The emergence of a COVID-
19 pandemic case was first reported by the Chinese state on December 31, 2019 at the
World Health Organization office in China to receive a notification about a type of

pneumonia whose cause was unknown in the form of an acute respiratory infection that
attacks the lungs detected in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China with some patient
traders operating at the Huanan Fish market (Jonathan Charis Pasaribu, 2020).
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia became one of the countries
affected by Covid 19, through a citizen from Japan being the first case that was declared
positive in March 2020 until the spread developed to all provinces, districts/cities and cities
village or hamlet. In Indonesia itself, it is affected by the government aspect, namely the
relationship between the center and the regions for handling Covid-19 in the context of the
medical service aspect that is given the authority to administer it in the regions (Ariyanto,
2020). Various efforts were made by the regional government when the first case occurred,
but the legal umbrella was considered incomplete and comprehensive to become a weapon
for the regional government in efforts to overcome Covid-19 (Harahap & Nasution, 2020).
Based on the observation that Tarlawi village is an area where the government's
performance is still less than optimal in implementing health protocols, especially
regarding the prevention of Covid-19 such as socialization, providing assistance, and social
restrictions. Covid-19 socialization is to increase public understanding of Covid-19
prevention in the form of wearing masks, how to wash hands with soap as well as related
to social restrictions (Ardiputra et al., 2020). Because the handling of Covid-19 is not only
burdened to the central government but also to the provincial, city/district and village or
sub-district governments (Ningrum, Mubarak, Sari, & Husnah, 2020). So the role of the
village government is very central in efforts to control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic
in relation to village authority (Gea, 2020). Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Village
Authority is a legal community unit that has territorial boundaries that are authorized to
regulate and manage government affairs, the interests of the local community based on
community initiatives, origin rights and or traditional rights that are recognized and
respected in the government system. Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (SATRIA,
2016). However, in carrying out their duties and responsibilities at the regional level, they
still rely on the regulations set by the central government. If it is related to the prevention
of Covid-19, it refers to Law No. 6 of 2018 concerning health quarantine in an area and
Law No. 21 of 2020 concerning Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) in the context of
preventing transmission of corona virus diseases (Covid-19) (Karyono, Rohadin, &
Indriyani, 2020).
From the description above, the author is interested in carrying out research on
Public Perceptions of Village Government Performance in Handling Covid-19 in Tarlawi
Village. The purpose of the study was to find out how the community's perception of the
performance of the village government in handling COVID-19 in Tarlawi Village.

The research location will be conducted in Tarlawi Village, Wawo District, Bima
Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province. To test the hypothesis that has been proposed in
this study, it is used in data processing with the help of the SPSS for windows program.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Results of Analysis Using SPSS 21
Table 1 The value of the validity test of the results of the analysis using SPSS 21
Based on these results, an instrument is said to be valid if the value of the analysis
results is more than 0.30. So it can be seen from the results of the analysis in the table
above, it is obtained that all instrument values are more than 0.30. This means that it can
be concluded that all of these instruments are valid, which means that they can be continued
for data collection.
In this study, the reliability test used Cronbach's Alpha for more details, see the table
below;
Table 2. Instrument reliability value SPSS 21 . analysis test results
Based on these results, the questionnaire is said to be reliable if the Cronbach alpha
value is greater than 0.60. then it can be seen that the value of Cronbach's alpha is 0.698
which is greater than 0.60.
One sample T-Test test based on the data that has been obtained in this study will be
analyzed using the one sample T test formula. According to Sugiono (2012) the one-sample
T-test formula is as follows
To test the hypothesis, it is analyzed using the SPSS application with the criteria for
the t test, namely if t count < t table then H0 is accepted / Ha is rejected

Table 3. T test results using SPSS 21 analysis
It is known that the calculated T value is 80.190 and the t table value is 0.187. If you
conclude that t count < t table or -80,190 < 0.187, then H0 is accepted and Ha is
automatically rejected, meaning "the community's perception of the village government's
performance in handling Covid-19 give bad feedback." It is clearer on the normality curve
of the one-sided test, namely the right-hand test as follows:
daearah penerimaan H
0
daerah penerimaan H
a
T
hitung =
-80,190
0 T
tabel =
0,187
Based on the curve image above, it can be concluded that HO is accepted and Ha is
rejected, meaning that the community's perception of the performance of the village
government in handling Covid-19 in Tarlawi village is less than 75%, which means that it
gives a bad response.
CONCLUSION
Based on the hypothesis testing, it was tested using the T test, it turns out that the
price of Tcount < Ttable (-80,190 <0.187) turns out that H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected.
It can be concluded that the community's perception of the performance of the village
government in handling covid-19 in Tarlawi village is less than 75 % means that the
response is not good. However, the community hopes that the handling of COVID-19 will
be carried out easily, quickly and accurately.
The participation of village government officials and responsibilities in carrying out
their duties is very important in improving services in Tarlawi Village by improving
working methods, changing work culture and having quality work, and having good quality
performance and responsibility for the rights and obligations as village officials.
