Kampung Jawi is a Javanese tourism village in Semarang City, Indonesia that aims to realize sociocultural sustainability. Currently, sociocultural sustainability faces the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, which restricted various activities. This quantitative study examines the sustainability of sociocultural activities in Kampung Jawi during the Covid-19 pandemic. The scoring analysis is applied to the questionnaire results to calculate and group the sustainability score into low, medium, and high. Questionnaires are distributed to 94 local communities to assess sociocultural sustainability during the pandemic. The results show that the sustainability of sociocultural activities in Kampung Jawi during the Covid-19 pandemic is “Medium.” The pandemic’s most significant impact is on cultural richness and participation because it restricts various community sociocultural activities. Furthermore, Covid-19 affects people’s efforts to maintain their cultural assets now and in the future. It has weakened economic activities that can reduce the village’s ability to provide cultural and health facilities.
