Mobility Pattern Changes in Indonesia in Response to COVID-19

Abstract

All countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic have established several policies to control the spread of the disease. The government of Indonesia has enforced a work-from-home policy and large-scale social restrictions in most regions that result in the changes in community mobility in various categories of places. This study aims to (1) investigate the impact of large-scale restrictions on provincial-level mobility in Indonesia, (2) categorize provinces based on mobility patterns, and (3) investigate regional socio-economic characteristics that may lead to different mobility patterns. This study utilized Provincial-level Google Mobility Index, Flight data scraped from daily web, and regional characteristics (e.g., poverty rate, percentages of informal workers). A Dynamic Time Warping method was employed to investigate the clusters of mobility. The study shows an intense trade-off of mobility pattern between residential areas and public areas. In general, during the first 2.5 months of the pandemic, people had reduced their activities in public areas and preferred to stay at home. Meanwhile, provinces have different mobility patterns from each other during the period of the large-scale restrictions. The differences in mobility are mainly led by the percentage of formal workers in each region.

Time-Series Clustering of the Regencies Hotel Room Occupancy Rate in Indonesia after the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…where wk is the distance that corresponds to the k-th element of the warping path W. This distance is the same as the Euclidean distance for the case where n = m and only the diagonal of the LCM is traversed [15]. In this study, clustering was performed using the time series k-means available in the tslearn Python package with the dtw metric.…”

Efek Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, Kependudukan, Dan Transportasi Terhadap Kualitas Udara Sumatera Selatan

“…Selain itu, nilai IKU juga penting sebagai dasar penyusun kebijakan khususnya untuk pengelolaan kualitas udara sehingga dapat melindungi manusia dan ekosistemnya (Kemenlkh 2016). Bahkan, tidak hanya digunakan untuk melihat aspek kesehatan, IKU juga dapat digunakan untuk melihat kondisi sosial ekonomi suatu wilayah (Pramana et al 2020).…”

A review from a geospatial perspective on how COVID-19 is affecting tourist activity in Yogyakarta city

“…Different Indonesian provinces have exhibited diverse mobility patterns during the restrictions, involving a concession between residential and public areas. The pandemic's spread positively correlates with the number of visits to retail and recreation centers, groceries and pharmacies, and parks, whereas mobility to workplaces has a negative correlation [8]. Hence, travel restrictions have been pivotal in managing the transmission of COVID-19 and have impacted people's mobility in Indonesia amidst the pandemic.…”
