“…We have treated the size of the houses as a determining characteristic and its main use, trying to differentiate between the tourist use as an essential factor for the potential spread of the COVID-19 disease, given the mobility of people (tourists of various origins) that this causes. However, we are aware that there are many other aspects that can be treated and are highlighted in the scientific literature [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ].…”

The relationship between the social structure of urban spaces and the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic is becoming increasingly evident. Analyzing the socio-spatial structure in relation to cases may be one of the keys to explaining the ways in which this contagious disease and its variants spread. The aim of this study is to propose a set of variables selected from the social context and the spatial structure and to evaluate the temporal spread of infections and their different degrees of intensity according to social areas. We define a model to represent the relationship between the socio-spatial structure of the urban space and the spatial distribution of pandemic cases. We draw on the theory of social area analysis and apply multivariate analysis techniques to check the results in the urban space of the city of Malaga (Spain). The proposed model should be considered capable of explaining the functioning of the relationships between societal structure, socio-spatial segregation, and the spread of the pandemic. In this paper, the study of the origins and consequences of COVID-19 from different scientific perspectives is considered a necessary approach to understanding this phenomenon. The personal and social consequences of the pandemic have been exceptional and have changed many aspects of social life in urban spaces, where it has also had a greater impact. We propose a geostatistical analysis model that can explain the functioning of the relationships between societal structure, socio-spatial segregation, and the temporal evolution of the pandemic. Rather than an aprioristic theory, this paper is a study by the authors to interpret the disparity in the spread of the pandemic as shown by the infection data.

“…The World Health Organization underlined that the conditions of housing absolutely takes priority in the frame implications that cause the level of healthiness for the people. It can also reduce disease because the people can live safely in a safe and warm housing, and at the end the quality of life can be achieved [1].Housing with substandard spacing is linked with mental and infectious diseases [39] The infectious disease transmission concepts of airborne, droplet, fomite, and contact routes have remained nearly unchanged since the sixteenth century [40]. The strong correlation between the built environment, overcrowding, and the spread of infectious diseases is well documented in particular for some pathologies and is now coming back as a fundamental threat due to the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…It is absolutely an important issue among social matters due to the fact that the global urban population is calculated to double by 2050. This increased population will end in a result of the problem of housing in both developing and developed countries [1]. According to INCLAR the the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, the issue of housing rights will occupy the attention of citizen who still don't have their own house.…”

Kota Tua area in West Jakarta, especially around the railroad tracks, is still inhabited by the poor of Jakarta. The cultural heritage-based revitalization of the Kota Tua Jakarta Area essentially requires the residents who live in the vicinity of the railway line area to be relocated to a safer place which will certainly have an impact on the surrounding residents. This study discusses whether Governor’s Regulation No. 36/2014 is in line with the Gwangju Declaration in realizing the revitalization of the Kota Tua Jakarta area. Also, how is the fulfillment of the right to housing around the railroad tracks related to preventthe spread of COVID-19 in the Kota Tua Jakarta area? Hence, this can be answered through the urgency and priority scale of human rights implementation in the Kota Tua Jakarta Area, specifically in the vicinity of the railroads track, including during the outbreak of Covid-19. This research is a normative juridical with qualitative analysis of the legal norms of national legislation related to the implementation of human rights. The analysis is qualitative, and based on a systematic literature review over scientific journal database. The results of this research show that the protection of human rights for the residents living in the vicinity of the railway line is still not fully implemented. For this reason, it is necessary to implement regulations to ensure respect and guaranteed human rights to the residents, especially the right to health, the right to education, the right to food, including the right to a healthy environment. Keywords: Kota Tua Jakarta, revitalization, human rights city

“…It is also necessary to consider what impact the increase in unemployment (Blustein et al, 2020) during this period has had on high-rise residents. In addition, housing and living conditions can impact the health of occupants and the spread of Covid-19 (Ismail et al, 2022). Particularly high-rise residential buildings have a higher population density per building area than other types of housing and have more common facilities and services.…”

“Double Ageing” in the High-Rise Residential Buildings of Tokyo

This study aims to explore the current “double ageing” (demographic ageing of residents and physical ageing of facilities) in high-rise (over 20 stories by the Japanese Government’s definition) residential buildings in Tokyo, where the rate of ageing has increased most rapidly since the late 1990s, compared to those of other cities and high-rise residential buildings worldwide. First, the trend of demographic ageing in the districts where high-rise residential buildings are concentrated is analysed. The results show that demographic ageing in high-rise residential buildings is faster than in other residential buildings because the age group of the residents is concentrated across two generations: the generation born in 1946–1955 and the generation born in 1966–75. Second, the relationship between demographic and physical ageing was examined through an online survey of 978 residents of high-rise residential buildings conducted in January 2021. A generation gap in values regarding their high-rise residential buildings was clearly identified. Third, the cause and result of the generation concentration and gap were investigated via an interview survey of 26 informants extracted from the online survey. Three main findings emerged: (a) the ageing of the generation born in 1946–1955 has given rise to housing insecurity because of the decline in income, (b) the high rate of singles within the generation born in 1966–1975 may be as a result of housing insecurity after their retirement, and (c) the introduction of social distancing has accelerated the substantial “ageing” of relatively good facilities, but a straightforward generational conflict was not fully deciphered in this article because of lifestyle diversification over generations and organisational culture of management associations.
