“…The preventive measures in public and indoor environments greatly contribute in reducing the disease transmission. Public transportation systems accelerate the spread of respiratory diseases such as influenza and coronaviruses worldwide due to high occupant density in an enclosed space [5,6].…”

“…Ventilation and surface disinfection of transportation systems have been reported to be the effective factors in reducing pollutants in electric buses in Italy [5]. In some regions, there were certain restricting rules in the public transportation system, such as limiting the ridership to 15 passengers per city bus and 30 per rail car [6]. In the U.K., maintaining a distance of two meter has been considered necessary in public transport systems [2].…”

Background Determining people’s healthy behaviors related to COVID-19 could be effective in providing preventive measures. The present study aims to investigate preventive behaviors associated with COVID-19 including wearing masks and keeping physical distance among the passengers on buses and public taxis measures to evaluate the ventilation systems in these vehicles. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on 753 passengers on buses and taxis in Tabriz, northwestern Iran, from 15 February to 1 March 2021. Multistage sampling method was used to select the participants. Tabriz was socioeconomically divided into three areas, including high, moderate, and low socioeconomic status. Three researchers were observed passengers behaviors standing at the selected stations and assessed their behaviors according to study checklist. Results In total, the data were gathered from 358 (47.5%) female and 395 (52.5%) male in public transport systems. The results of this study indicated that female passengers used masks significantly more than men (P < 0.001). About 40% of men and women did not keep a physical distance of at least one meter in the public transportation system. Failing to keep social distancing was mostly observed among people with low SES (N = 103, 54%) and those who were in city center (N = 88, 48.5%). According to the multivariate regression analysis, for not wearing mask: being male [OR 4.94; 95%CI (2.62–9.28)] and using bus [(OR 3.27, 95%CI (1.73,6.19)], and for not physical distancing: having age under 25 years [OR 2.58; 95%CI (1.53,4.36)] and low socioeconomic status (SES) [OR 5.19; 95%CI (3.25,8.30)], and for no ventilation: using bus [OR 1.57; 95%CI (1.05,2.34)] were significant predictors. Conclusion Our results suggest that gender, type of vehicle, age, and SES were significant predictors of non-adherence to COVID-19 preventive behaviors in public transport during the pandemic. Given that social distancing is less observed in the public transportation system in Tabriz, Iran, it is necessary for government to consider and monitor guidelines to protect the passengers from COVID-19 infections by providing measures to maintain physical distance in public transportation systems. It may be possible to force vehicle owners who do not comply with health protocols to keep some distance by imposing fines.

“…Главным тезисом этой парадигмы является внедрение эффективных бизнесинструментов в общественный сектор (Osborne and Gaebler, 1992). При этом трудности внедрения ее принципов в различных странах периодически пробуждают исследовательский интерес Shaw, 2012;Tabrizi et al, 2018). С определенной долей условности в общем процессе оценивания политики выделяются «несколько самостоятельных направлений: аудит эффективности, оценка программ, оценка регулирующего воздействия (ОРВ), оценка реформ, бюджетирование, ориентированное на результат, имеющих разную историю, цели, нормативное закрепление, но объединенных общей идеологией и отчасти инструментарием» (Дорошенко и др., 2014, с.…”
