JAKARTA - Crowds at tourist sites again occurred at Karang Hawu Beach, Sukabumi, West Java Sunday, May 23. A video of the crowd on the beach was circulated on social media. And the police moved quickly to disperse the crowd. Psychologist Tika Bisono has an interesting review and analysis of the crowd that re-occurred this.

Previously there was a crowd at the tourist sites of Pelabuhan Ratu Sukabumi and Ancol, Jakarta. As usual, after the issue went viral in the mass media and social media, the local government acted quickly. Anies Baswendan closed several tourist sites in Jakarta such as ancol dreamland, TMII and Ragunan Zoo.

West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil did not want to miss. He also instructed that pangandaran tourist area and several other locations such as Kawah Putih are also closed for tourists. But why Hawu Coral Beach remains open for tourists to visit. This is the question of many parties.

According to the psychic Tika Bisono, basically man is a social being. He can't live alone. "Psychologically man is a social animal, he can not live solitary (alone). The tendency to socialize is in all normal human beings. Only the abnormal ones (schizophrenia) are solitary and they are usually evacuated in mental hospitals," he told VOI who contacted him Sunday, May 23.

Right now, continued Tika, we are still in a difficult condition. The corona pandemic has not hit. All parties must remain vigilant. Later our society was polarized in two large groups. Groups that survived and wanted to survive and groups that did not survive and were affected by COVID-19.

"The cry of not crowding that was powerful for a long time is not powerful anymore. There is apathy from a group of our society. They surrender if they get COVID-19 it's fate. Now a sentence like this must be addressed by the state," said Tika who is also a singer.

The way the state deploys its officers both civilian and military to take decisive action on anyone who violates the rules. "If the police have not put down the army to guard the tourist sites that are closed. Otherwise with an iron fist this rule will always be violated. Just look at the countries that successfully faced COVID-19, they are firm, that's the key," said Tika Bisono.

The community in the case of the crowd that occurred on Karang Hawu Beach, continued Tika can not be blamed completely. Because after a long time locked up, people also want to vacation, it turns out that among the many tourist attractions there are still open. After a new frenzy the authorities dispersed the crowd.

Countries according to Tika must be strict in implementing prokes and restrictions related to covid-19 prevention. "Yesterday ahead of Eid I saw it was good the application of homecoming restrictions. The percentage of people who go home decreases drastically. But I don't think it's long enough," he said, adding that all potential locations that cause it should be closed as a measure of anticipation.

The government in Tika's view is still saggy in addressing the covid-19 issue. "Indonesia is what I see is still saggy in law enforcement to counter COVID-19. Try to check there are regional heads who get sanctioned when there are cases of crowds for example? If it is there will certainly make others agile and do not want the area to be in disoriented that could result in him being sanctioned or his position lost for example," said Tika Bisono.
