Abstract

Numerous aspects of human life have changed as a result of the advancement of science, particularly in the field of information and communication technology. They no longer need to be in a specific location because it is so simple to build a network today. They can create a network based on shared objectives and experiences. Manuel Castells (1981) created the term "Network Society" to describe a new idea of society in the digital age as a result of this occurrence. The Pandemic that swept the globe and lasted more than two years has made research on the Network Society interesting in recent years. As a result, the goals of this research are to (1) ascertain how the covid-19 pandemic affected the existence of networked communities among MSME actors, (2) ascertain the state of the networked community among MSME actors during the pandemic era, and (3) determine what factors influence the existence of a network society among MSME actors on the island of Lombok. The researcher creates a strategy for data collecting utilizing a questionnaire in this study, which employs a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. Based on the criteria for the location of the respondent's residence, namely urban and rural areas, the research location was chosen using a purposive sampling strategy. The study's findings demonstrate that, generally speaking, the COVID-19 epidemic has little impact on the existence of networked societies, particularly among MSME actors. One of the catalysts for the emergence of new MSMEs in the research field is the pandemic. Community networks among MSME actors have expanded during the pandemic. Social and economic reasons are the main determinants of the growth of a networked society among MSME actors
