“…The findings revealed that younger passengers were more susceptible to feeling ill than older passengers while travelling by minibuses. The findings were consistent with prior research [ 4 , 10 , 20 – 22 ] which was conducted at diverse locations and times. According to William C. Cockerham (2013), our social environment does not totally define our behaviours, attitudes, and life outcomes, but it shapes or reshapes them.…”

“…According to the available literature, the feeling of illness among passengers while travelling by vehicle is induced by physical movement of the vehicle, driver disturbances, passive transport of passengers, and the travel behaviour or attitudes of passengers [10][11][12][13]. On the other hand, passengers' lack of physical activity before travelling, the impracticality of alternate modes of transportation, and driving anxiety and disquiet naturally result in passengers feeling ill when travelling by vehicle [14][15][16].…”

The current study investigated how and why sociocultural structures, situational conditions, and personal behavioural factors cause passengers to feel ill when travelling by minibuses, drawing on ideas from the social construction theory of illness. A significant objective was to investigate associated risk variables that influence passengers’ feelings of illness related to the social environment, addressing their beliefs, meanings, practices, and behaviours. A survey method was used to obtain data from 384 passengers for the study. The results of logistic regression indicated that feeling ill when travelling by minibuses differed from passenger to passenger; then, they had their own set of practical and emotional challenges that had no known medical reason. Compared with male and older passengers, female and younger passengers were more likely to feel ill. Furthermore, stress and role-set effects increased passengers’ experiences of feeling ill more than did passengers who had no stress prior to the trip and who had only one role. Additionally, passengers who travelled intermittently, utilized suppression techniques to lessen travel discomfort, and fastened seat belts were less likely to experience symptoms of illness. Passengers who travelled on unsafe roads and used alcohol before travel, on the other hand, were more likely to feel ill than those who travelled on safer roads and did not use alcohol before the trip. The findings suggest that passengers should be aware of predisposing conditions that result in illness, be able to rest before travelling, and use all suppressive methods to reduce or prevent illness while travelling by small buses.

“…The extant literature on active mobility in urban China exhibits both similarities and distinctions when compared to related studies in other nations. Notably, the research conducted in urban China has confirmed the simultaneous effects of COVID-19 on active mobility observed in other countries, like in the US (51-53), Iran (54), Greece (55), Australia (56), Bangladesh (57), Serbia (58), South Korea (59), and so on. This is evidenced by a reduction in the total amount of active travel, coupled with an increase in the proportion of active travel utilized in citizens' daily travel patterns.…”

“…This situation may prompt citizens to acknowledge and prioritize the health and environmental advantages associated with active mobility. Furthermore, research conducted in urban China validates the altered landscape of active mobility equality resulting from the epidemic, particularly affecting vulnerable demographics such as females, the older adult, and individuals with lower incomes (56,(64)(65)(66).…”

Active mobility, such as cycling and walking, is assuming a growing significance in the daily lives of urban residents in China due to its positive impact on health and the environment. The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic has elicited significant changes in behaviors, perceptions, and intellectual viewpoints in this domain, potentially altering residents’ physical activities in the long-term. This scoping review seeks to delve into the multi-dimensional influence of the epidemic on active mobility in urban China. A thorough investigation of English and Chinese studies up to January 2024 was conducted, drawing from articles in Web of Science and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure. Only empirical studies providing knowledge into this subject were selected in the review, which comprised 20 studies in total. This review indicates that the influence of COVID-19 on active urban mobility in China has exhibited contradictory outcomes in terms of behavior. Besides, the experiences during the epidemic have significantly shaped citizens’ attitudes and understanding of active mobility. The repercussions of the epidemic and the ensuing restrictions exacerbate the existing challenges faced by women, particularly those who are married, the older adult, and individuals with low incomes. The results exhibit both resemblances and idiosyncrasies when juxtaposed with prior research conducted in different nations. This analysis also offers valuable insights for improving active mobility across individual, organizational, and socio-political realms. The current state of empirical understanding in this field underscores the need for further research endeavors employing diverse methodological approaches and increased emphasis on the transformations anticipated in the post-epidemic era.

“…Pada sektor sosial ekonomi mulai menunjukan peningkatan kesejahteraan warga, pemulihan sosial serta perbaikan finansial rusak saat pandemi (James, 2020;Sparrow, et al, 2020); dan ketimpangan sosial serta kemiskinan diperparah covid-19 (Suryahadi et al, 2020). Pasca ruang gerak tidak lagi batasi (Stanesby et al, 2023); untuk penanganan pandemi., ekonomi yang merosot mempengaruhi jual beli bahan makanan berdampak penurunan imun (Maulidia et al, 2022); kini perlahan mulai tumbuh, adaptasi new normal kehidupan berjalan baik pasca PPKM. Ada pendapat beberapa responden bahwa tidak mensejahterakan sebab masyarakat di desa masih menjalankan aktivitas maupun rutinitas seperti biasanya meski ketika ada pendatang luar daerah, masyarakat membatasi interaksi sosial secara personal (Crawford, F. et al, 2022); lihat juga (Wei et al, 2023); tidak seperti masyarakat kota mobilitasnya tinggi, namun tetap memakai masker karena menjadi kebiasaan selama pandemi.…”
