I. INTRODUCTION
The construction sector, which is directly or indirectly affected, is currently struggling with all its might to survive and recover. The construction sector is one of the worst sectors affected by the Covid-19 pandemic due to the implementation of construction projects, one of the most important activities for national economic development. Major changes due to the impact of the pandemic brought about major changes in the economic, social and environmental sectors were greatly felt by project stakeholders such as implementing contractors, supervisory consultants and owners. According to data from the Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE) of Denpasar City, it was recorded that the tender list for the type of procurement for construction work in the Denpasar City Government from 2019 was 130 tender data, the list of tender data decreased in 2020, with only 25 tender data  2 12 with three tender data submitted successfully and 22 tender data failed.
The data show that the growth in the value of the construction index has decreased from 4.9% to 2.1% in 2020 [7]. The decline in the construction index was due to many problems in project implementation, ranging from budget diversion for handling Covid-19, limited resources, and other circumstances. Obstacles in the implementation of construction projects will arise when the project objectives are not realized. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the problems generally faced by project stakeholders were in the construction implementation phase. The impacts include aspects of human resources, materials and equipment, work methods, and finances. The problems described have the potential to affect the performance of construction projects. So, it is important to measure such so that the cost, quality and time are right. From this, it is necessary to carry out this research so that the performance of construction projects in Denpasar City remains in a stable condition during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the performance of construction projects in Denpasar City, to analyze the impact variables of the Covid-19 pandemic that most dominantly affect the performance of construction projects in Denpasar City, and to formulate strategies to improve the performance of the most dominant construction projects. affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in Denpasar City.

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on the construction world. Therefore, it is warned that raising awareness of the occupational safety and health of construction workers is very important. Therefore, good countermeasures are needed in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, so that the implementation is not hampered and the safety and health of construction workers are important.

Construction Project Performance
Measurement of the performance of a construction project must be carried out to find out whether in the process of work activities there are errors from the predetermined plan, or whether performance can be achieved according to the planned schedule, or whether the performance results are as expected [14]. Construction project performance can be measured based on the cost, quality and time spent. Source: [5], [8], [12], [6], [1]

III. METHOD
This research was conducted on government projects in Denpasar City. The methods used in data analysis techniques are quantitative and qualitative. The data sources specified include primary data obtained directly from the results of distributing questionnaires regarding the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic that affects the performance of construction projects in Denpasar City. As well as data from the results of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to formulate strategies in improving the performance of construction projects that are most dominantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. While secondary data were obtained from the Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE) web page for the Denpasar City area to get the total number of projects that won tenders in 2020-2021. The data analysis technique applied is multivariate analysis with surveys using online questionnaires using Google Form, then the questionnaires will be disseminated via social media or email to respondents, then analyzed using SmartPLS software. Qualitative analysis is done by conducting direct Focus Group Discussion and fishbone diagrams. A minimum sample of 26 populations at a 5% margin of error of 24 construction projects with respondents to fill out the questionnaire from this study, including one project manager/executor from the contractor and one team leader/supervisor from the supervisory consultant, and one person from the owner, so that the total minimum sample of respondents is 72 respondents. Meanwhile, the selection of sources for the FGD was determined by using a nonprobability sampling technique with purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is used for the sample of informants that is adjusted to the research objectives. The focus group discussion resource persons were attended by five people consisting of three project managers (contractors), and two team leaders (supervising consultants).

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In this study, the total number of respondents who participated was 78. Based on the results of the questionnaires that have been distributed, the characteristics of the respondents who contributed to this study were the right respondents.

Analysis of the Covid-19 Pandemic Impact on
Construction Project Performance    Based on Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Table 3, and Table 4, it can be concluded that the construct is declared if the composite reliability value is above 0.6. It can be concluded that the research variables of human resources, materials and equipment, work methods, finances, and construction project performance are declared to meet reliability.      The results of statistical testing on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic with variables of human resources, materials and equipment, work methods, and finances affect the performance of construction projects (P <0.05).  The results of statistical testing on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic with the variables of human resources, materials and equipment, work methods, and finances affect the performance of construction projects in terms of cost, quality, and time (P <0.05). It's just that there are two hypothetical aspects that have no effect (P> 0.05), namely the aspect of human resources on quality because, if there is a reduction in labor, it will not directly affect the quality but is more influential in terms of time. The second is the financial aspect of quality because the quality aspect does not significantly affect the financial aspect.

Strategies in Improving the Performance of Ca Are
Mostly Affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic  Due to economic problems, suppliers do not produce materials in large quantities.
The contractor can pre-order first with the supplier.

Materials and Equipment
There is a delay in the availability of heavy equipment.
-Limited spare parts must be imported from abroad during the Covid-19 pandemic. -The heavy equipment service provider does not perform maintenance on the heavy equipment.
-Contractors can change work methods and try to find other heavy equipment service providers.

Conclusions
The conclusions from the results and discussions, among others, are: the Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on the performance of construction projects in Denpasar City, in particular on the aspects: Human resources have an impact on the performance of construction projects in terms of a significant time of 2.5%, which in this case was work experienced delays, and in terms of significant costs of 0.9% causing construction project expenditures to exceed the planned costs. Materials and equipment have an impact on the performance of construction projects in terms of significant time of 3.0% to be late due to inappropriate considering of supplier selection, in terms of significant costs of 1.2% so that cost control for materials and equipment becomes inappropriate and in terms of significant quality 0.1% resulted in the type of material and the number of material units and heavy equipment used were not in accordance with the requirements. The work method has an impact on the performance of construction projects in terms of significant time of 3.4% to be ineffective in compiling the method of carrying out work, 0.7% in terms of significant costs causing the project budget to be inappropriate due to having to change the method of work that has been planned, and from a significant quality aspect of 0.7% due to not according to the required technical specifications. Financial impact on the performance of construction projects in terms of significant costs of 4.9% causes the project cash flow to exceed the required and significant time in terms of 1.5% so that the work exceeds the planned time.
The Covid-19 pandemic variable that has the most impact on the performance of construction projects in Denpasar City is the material and equipment aspect, including limited material accommodation, delays in material delivery, limited material availability, and limited availability of heavy equipment, 3,321. Strategies to improve the performance of construction projects in Denpasar City which are most dominantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, namely the Material and Equipment Aspects, are pursued through Focus Group Discussions, as follows: Provide alternative materials that have equivalent alternatives. Before entering into a work agreement with the supplier, the contractor should study more detail the contract with the supplier first; perform re-scheduling related to delays in construction project work resulting in an extension of the contract period; monitoring related to material expeditions; contractors can pre-order in advance to the supplier; and contractors can change work methods and seek to find other heavy equipment service providers.

Suggestions
The suggestion from the results and discussion of this research is that construction project companies can use this research to pay attention to the factors that can affect the performance of construction projects in the implementation of construction projects during the Covid-19 pandemic. For other researchers, it is expected to examine other sources and references regarding the impact factors of the Covid-19 pandemic because this research only examines aspects of human resources, materials and equipment, work methods and finances. Therefore, this research can be considered for further development. In relation to strategies to improve the performance of construction projects, construction project actors are expected to understand and monitor to overcome urgent problems that occur in the implementation of construction projects.
