“…In another study, Liu et al [53] found that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, discriminated-against migrants had insufficient access to social activities and neighborhood POS because of fear. Likewise, Ma et al [54] revealed that Asians were less likely to increase walking than Caucasians due to racism during the COVID-19.…”

Considering the significance of physical activities in maintaining physical and mental well-being, several nations made exceptions during the COVID-19 lockdowns and allowed residents to walk outdoors, but with time and distance restrictions that varied across countries. This study aimed to identify if such regulations provided residents with equal access to public open spaces (POS) to engage in physical activity during the lockdown. Using a mixed research method (secondary descriptive data, field observations, and spatial analysis), we assessed the one-kilometer walking limit imposed on six typical existing neighborhoods in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. We find that the imposed one-kilometer limit was effective in providing accessibility, and the four urban factors ensured the effectiveness of the imposed walking distance: the small scale of residential districts in comparison to the long-imposed walking distance; the presence of neighborhood parks near main local streets; the distribution of neighborhood parks throughout the districts; and the absence of major highways that physically isolated residential districts. Notably, regulations related to walking distances during future pandemics should not be generalized to all cities; instead, they should be based on the existing availability of relatively good POS provisions with easy and equal access to all community members to enhance social sustainability.

“…Planning practitioners are interested in identifying influential contributors to user satisfaction with trails and improvement priorities to satisfy trail users. Due to the risk of COVID-19 exposure in gyms and fitness centers, there has been an influx of people on city trails and sidewalks (Ma et al 2022), particularly in low-density areas (Zhang and Fricker 2021). This behavioral change is positively associated with people's mental health and community cohesion (Ma et al 2022).…”

Using data collected from trail users in Woodbury, MN, this study applies gradient-boosting decision trees to explore the nonlinear associations between trail elements and user overall satisfaction. Scenery, personal safety, and connection are the most important contributors to overall satisfaction. Several trail elements show nonlinear effects on overall satisfaction. Specifically, bumps and lighting greatly affect overall satisfaction when their performance is poor, whereas personal safety, home access to trails, and shade improve overall satisfaction when performing well. The results also showed that the city should prioritize improvements on bumps, lighting, roadway crossing, safety, and access to enhance user satisfaction effectively.

“…In different countries and regions, COVID-19 resulted in a significant decline of travel frequencies and distances, and a plummeting number of transportation users [ 1 ]. According to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) statistics, the number of global aviation passengers (including both international and domestic travel) fell by 60% from 2019 to 2020.…”

A novel resilience analysis methodology for airport networks system from the perspective of different epidemic prevention and control policy responses

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As the COVID-19 pandemic fades, the aviation industry is entering a fast recovery period. To analyze airport networks’ post-pandemic resilience during the recovery process, this paper proposes a Comprehensive Resilience Assessment (CRA) model approach using the airport networks of China, Europe, and the U.S.A as case studies. The impact of COVID-19 on the networks is analyzed after populating the models of these networks with real air traffic data. The results suggest that the pandemic has caused damage to all three networks, although the damages to the network structures of Europe and the U.S.A are more severe than the damage in China. The analysis suggests that China, as the airport network with less network performance change, has a more stable level of resilience. The analysis also shows that the different levels of stringency policy in prevention and control measures during the epidemic directly affected the recovery rate of the network. This paper provides new insights into the impact of the pandemic on airport network resilience.
