“…One environmental factor that needs further investigation, even though it was already reviewed [73][74][75] and initially analysed [76][77][78], is the role of long-term exposure to air pollution in the spread of COVID-19 and manifested higher morbidity and mortality rates. The very first appearance of this virus cannot be directly correlated with pollution since, similar to the other SARS coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 is alleged to have transferred the host from the originating bats to humans [79].…”

COVID-19 escalated into a pandemic posing several humanitarian as well as scientific challenges. We here investigated the geographical character of the early spread of the infection and correlated it with several annual satellite and ground indexes of air quality in China, the United States, Italy, Iran, France, Spain, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The time of the analysis corresponded with the end of the first wave infection in China, namely June 2020. We found more viral infections in those areas afflicted by high PM 2.5 and nitrogen dioxide values. Higher mortality was also correlated with relatively poor air quality. In Italy, the correspondence between the Po Valley pollution and SARS-CoV-2 infections and induced mortality was the starkest, originating right in the most polluted European area. Spain and Germany did not present a noticeable gradient of pollution levels causing non-significant correlations. Densely populated areas were often hotspots of lower air quality levels but were not always correlated with a higher viral incidence. Air pollution has long been recognised as a high risk factor for several respiratory-related diseases and conditions, and it now appears to be a risk factor for COVID-19 as well. As such, air pollution should always be included as a factor for the study of airborne epidemics and further included in public health policies.

“…Research has mainly focused on issues related to health and, to a lesser extent, the economy, but issues related to cities have also been addressed. We can find research that studies the impact of COVID-19 on urban air quality [16][17][18][19] or on the effects of human concentration, the consequences for public transportation or on new mobility patterns [20,21]. Noteworthy as well is the work on the need to transition to a more sustainable and resilient type of urbanization, which includes a change in the architecture of homes, creating more green spaces, with spaces that allow teleworking and the means for virtual education [22][23][24], or on the convenience of decongestion in urban habitats towards the surrounding rural spaces [25].…”

“…This fear has caused changes in the use of public space worldwide [8][9][10][11][12] and leisure activities for Spaniards, especially with regard to their relationship with the restaurant Mathematics 2021, 9, 2133 2 of 18 sector, in which Spain holds a unique position at a European and global level [13]. As discussed later, in Section 3.1, Spaniards have changed their habits related to spending time out of the house as well as the frequency with which they go to bars and restaurants, demonstrating a clear preference for open spaces over closed spaces.…”

COVID-19 and Changes in Social Habits. Restaurant Terraces, a Booming Space in Cities. The Case of Madrid

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and the fear experienced by some of the population, along with the lack of mobility due to the restrictions imposed, has modified the social behaviour of Spaniards. This has had a significant effect on the hospitality sector, viewed as being an economic and social driver in Spain. From the analysis of data collected in two of our own non-probabilistic surveys (N ~ 8400 and N ~ 2000), we show how, during the first six months of the pandemic, Spaniards notably reduced their consumption in bars and restaurants, also preferring outdoor spaces to spaces inside. The restaurant sector has needed to adapt to this situation and, with the support of the authorities (regional and local governments), new terraces have been allowed on pavements and public parking spaces, modifying the appearance of the streets of main towns and cities. This study, focused on the city of Madrid, analyses the singular causes that have prompted this significant impact on this particular city, albeit with an uneven spatial distribution. It seems likely that the new measures will leave their mark and some of the changes will remain. The positive response to these changes from the residents of Madrid has ensured the issue is being widely debated in the public arena.

El propósito del presente estudio estuvo centrado en un análisis sistemático, para el uso de las plataformas digitales como fomento de la cultura ambiental en instituciones públicas. La investigación corresponde a una revisión teórica documental y/o bibliográfica. El avance de la tecnología ha permitido que nos encontremos a la actualidad en una era digital, lo cual a coadyuvado en el fomento de la cultura ambiental para disminuir la contaminación, ello exige la reducción del uso del papel y la implementación de plataformas digitales a nivel nacional en las instituciones públicas, correspondiendo que se estudie a las plataformas digitales, sus beneficios en las instituciones públicas y la cultura ambiental. Reflexionando sobre el uso de plataformas digitales como medio que fomenta la cultura ambiental en instituciones públicas, se propone una serie de cuestiones que motivan el uso de plataformas digitales, a través de decisiones legislativas y la participación de toda una población.
