This research was intended to determined community capacity and strategies to enhanced resilience amid the devastating Covid-19 pandemic in urban areas.Community capacity was measured using quantitative and qualitative assessment methods. The former included a questionnaire survey of every member of the Covid-19 task force at the neighborhood level (census), while the latter collected qualitative data through field surveys and in-depth interviews. Community capacity served as the dependent variable, and the independent variables were threefold: preparedness capacity, adaptive capacity, and mitigation capacity. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively through statistical calculations (validity, reliability, and linear regression tests), then the descriptive analysis of the qualitative data complemented the results. Both validity and reliability tests yielded r-count>r-table for each variable (reliability= 0.427>0.339), meaning that the data were valid and reliable. Further, the analysis produced three community capacity levels: 44% high, 29% medium, and 27% low. Based on the highest percentage, it could be inferred that the community had very good capacity, it was showed that recilience was quite high. The linear regression test revealed interdependent variables with Sig. r tabel sehingga data valid, sedangkan reliabilitas data menunjukkan r hitung > r tabel yaitu 0,427 > 0,339 sehingga data reliabel. Analisis kapasitas masyarakat menunjukkan 44% kelas tinggi, 29% kelas sedang, dan 27% kelas rendah, sehingga kapasitas masyarakat sudah sangat baik dengan ketahanan yang cukup tinggi. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan dengan pendekatan linier, variabel saling berpengaruh dengan nilai Sig. < 0,05 (Ho ditolak), sedangkan R Square pengaruh paling besar adalah variabel mitigasi dengan tingkat pengaruh 48%. Strategi peningkatan kapasitas ketahanan masyarakat dapat dilakukan dengan penerapan protokol kesehatan, peningkatan media informasi, dan penguatan sosial ekonomi masyarakat
