Abstract

       This study is aimed at (1) compiling effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the people and their needs for aid, (2) examining and analyzing the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the relations to their needs for aid, and (3) examining the management of aid rendered by Nonthaburi Municipality that relates to the people’s desires to request aid. The population in this study was the people who have been affected by Covid-19 pandemic in the area of Nonthaburi Municipality. The formula of Krejcie and Morgan (1970) was used to calculated the sample size, equivalent to 400 samples of population. The tool for data collection was a questionnaire. The data were analyzed by the degree of frequency, percentage, arithmetic means and standard deviation. The hypotheses were proved by a correlation analysis to see the direction of relations between two variables where the correlation coefficient (r) was the indicator of this relation, whether the two variables have a negative correlation, or a positive correlation, or no correlation. The following is a summary of the result of this study.

The analysis of the effects that people have encountered in the Covid-19 pandemic could be concluded that there were four aspects on which people have been most affected, namely a burden of expenses, living condition, social distancing, and mental health. After analyzing their desires to request aid, it could be summarized that people needed aid mostly in 5 aspects, namely a burden of expenses, living condition, social distancing, illness, and mental health.

The opinions of the people who have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic toward aid management of Nonthaburi Municipality in 4 aspects are as follows: (1) The dissemination of knowledge of aid rendered to the affected people was in overalls at a high level; (2) The assistance in protection and control of communicable diseases was in overalls at a high level; (3) The support in aid rendered to the affected people according to the government aid measures was in overalls at high level; and (4) The action and development of aid management system for rehabilitation and remedies were in overalls at the highest level.

The result of correlation analysis showed that if people were affected on eight aspects, namely mental health, illness, living condition, employment, work, income, expenses, and social distancing, they would need aid in eight aspects. However, if they were affected on one aspect, they would need aid in more than one aspect.

The correlation analysis of aid management of Nonthaburi Municipality in four aspects revealed that the people’s need for aid resulted from 1) the knowledge of aid rendered to the affected people, 2) the support in aid rendered to the affected people according to the government aid measures, and 3) the action and development of aid management system for rehabilitation and remedies. However, the assistance in protection and control communicable diseases did not affect the people’s need for aid.
