“…Regarding local government works in this mechanism. As is described in Figure 3 , in this pandemic, the local governments' power is compressed because of the highly centralized central government in an emergency public health ( 24 ); it has not enough ability to deal with this matter. To protect their interests, the local government will seek instructions from the central government to get the freedom of action and support.…”

ObjectiveThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has threatened the state's governance and public safety. This study investigates whether and how public participation can affect central government policy response to this pandemic in the context of China.MethodsThis study constructs the theoretical framework based on theoretical analysis, and Social Network Analysis is used to analyze data on the public participation, New Media, and the central government response in this pandemic.ResultsFindings show that the Chinese central government does not always adopt top-down elitist governance strategies in risk management. The central government will also adopt the bottom-up governance strategy triggered by public participation. In this process, New Media acts as a catalyst. Specifically, when faced with a public emergency and needs a policy response from the central government, public participation firstly creates “participation” with the authority of the media, forms public opinion, and then the prompt policy response from the central government.ConclusionThis study confirms that the central government will refer to public participation to decide the policy response. It also shows that the theory of government response applies to both the local government and the central government.

“…Journal articles, research reports, and commentary describe second-order impacts related to the economy that include remittances (Ratha et al 2020), employment (Gentilini et al 2020), inequality (UN-Habitat 2020), tourism (Gössling, Scott, and Hall 2021), and poverty (Martin et al, 2020). Several articles describe the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on air quality (described below); albeit there are other environmental impacts such as wildlife movement and behaviour (Rutz et al 2020) (Karim, Islam, and Talukder 2020;Li et al, 2020;Shakibaei et al 2021;Truelove et al 2020;Yi et al 2020). Also, there are 38 articles utilizing a geospatial approach, such as spatial modelling (Karaye and Horney 2020), spatio-temporal studies (Yang et al 2020), and surveys (UNHCR 2020).…”

This paper examines the current state of knowledge focusing on the second-order impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic through a geospatial lens. The purpose is twofold: (1) present a global programme -Cities' COVID Mitigation Mapping (C2M2) programme -focusing on urban areas that explores second-order impacts through the use of geospatial tools and technologies, and (2) identify and assess the emerging literature on second-order impacts using geospatial data and analysis to support this project. Effects of the pandemic are rapidly unfolding across the world; however, an assessment of the literature reveals that second-order impacts of COVID-19 are seasonal, spatial, and scalar across multiple thematic areas includ-ing the economy, environmental health sector, education, and migration/mobility. Successive waves of the pandemic are continuing to be met with specific public health measures (e.g. lockdowns, travel restrictions, social distancing guidance, mandates for the use of personal protective equipment) that will have longterm impacts on vulnerable populations. A literature review was conducted to identify how the pandemic's second-order impacts derived from geospatial data and analysis can provide the basis for using geospatial data to study vulnerable urban populations more generally. This review reveals a gap in the literature, with far more articles emphasizing geospatial approaches to assess first-order impacts and alimited number of articles focused on geospatial approaches investigating second-order impacts. Nonetheless, this nascent literature provides the basis for designing approaches with local partners and by local and regional governments to apply geospatial data and methodologies to the development of mitigation strategies to prioritize limited resources to minimize the long-term consequences of COVID-19.

“…For instance, Qian and Hanser analysed Wuhan residents' lived experiences of lockdown life and identified three pre-existing structures that facilitated the effective implementation of the massive lockdown [14]. The effects of human mobility restrictions on inter-provincial migration flow during the pandemic [15] were also studied by scholars. However, the political change caused by the pandemic is not the main concern of existing studies, and the transitional social-political context of urban China has not achieved enough academic concern either.…”

This article explores the short-term and (potential) long-term influences of COVID-19 on urban China and its governance, which was characterised by increasing mobilities and delocalised societies before the outbreak. Through the analysis of 18 observation reports in 16 cities, it is revealed that the outbreak enables the government to (re-)build a location-based urban management system with the participation of residents facing the pandemic as an external threat. A paradoxical combination of low physical mobility and high information mobility occurs. The location-based lifestyle and governance pattern has been “normalised” rather than just being a temporary response to the pandemic. The re-localisation in urban China differs from the localism in western societies as it results from the combination of the state-power-based governmental action and citizens’ participation aimed at regaining location-based ontological security. The normalisation of the re-localisation tendency may bring about fundamental changes to urban China, even “after” the pandemic.
