Context: The pandemic has demonstrated several weaknesses and inequalities in the way society live and develops within cities, the economic losses, the massive contagions, and above all the lack of control and people's lack of awareness of the situation. Objectives: This study tries to attempt, city lacking in green spaces, towards a city with green and sustainable planning, and the association between urban greenery and physical activity during the Covid-19, as well as proposing urban green corridors as a planning tool for urban green areas. Methods: The research method was applied Bibliographic analysis which focuses on the importance of green areas, health, wellbeing, and multifunctional, and City analysis based on surveys to understand the residents' behavior during the pandemic. Results: Green and recreational spaces in Riobamba was exposed by all those who could not cope with the lockdown, since only 8% of those surveyed stayed at home, while 70% left their homes for green or recreational spaces within the urban area and 23% left the city in search of parks or nature reserves. This shows, how the quality of green areas can positively affect people’s behaviors during the Covid-19. The diagnosis, highlighted the preservation of natural areas, urban reforestation, re-naturalization of spaces or urban voids. Conclusions: The urban green corridor is conceived as a system where several spaces are connected, creating two interactions: the first is how the city can provide the necessary infrastructure during a crisis, and the second is how it energizes and prioritizes the health and supply systems for urban residents, creating safe spaces for each of the city's sectors.
The pandemic has demonstrated several weaknesses and inequalities in the way society live and develops within cities, such as economic losses, massive contagions, and above all, the lack of control and people's lack of awareness about the crisis. This study aims to investigate the transformation of cities with a shortage of green spaces into cities with green and sustainable planning, the association between urban greenery and physical activity during the Covid-19, and urban green corridors as a planning tool for urban green areas. The green corridor was born out of a social need in the face of a health crisis and the improvement of the urban environment. This research employs three methods to study: empirical judgment and experience analysis and network analysis. All those who could not cope with the lockdown exposed green and recreational spaces in Riobamba, since only 7% of those surveyed stayed at home, while 70% left their homes for green or recreational spaces within the urban area and 23% left the city. This shows how the quality of green areas can positively affect people’s behaviors during the Covid-19. This effect highlighted the preservation of natural areas, urban reforestation, and re-naturalization of spaces. The urban green corridor is a system that connects several spaces, creating two interactions: the first is how the city can provide the necessary infrastructure during a crisis, and the second is how it energizes and prioritizes the health and supply systems for urban residents, creating safe spaces for each of the city's sectors.
Propose:Today, cities compete to attract more tourists and visitors, and city branding plays a crucial part in this. It takes a long time for a city's identity to develop; it develops through time and becomes more culturally diverse as a consequence.Design/methodology/approachThis article focuses on the branding of Balkh province in northern Afghanistan by using its cultural and historical heritage assets. This article examines whether Balkh's unique identity may be used for city branding and analyzes which of the city's historical sites, important personalities, and historic events might be exploited as city brands. FindingResults from a questionnaire and SPSS 24 analysis of 111 people suggest that Balkh's strong identity, cultural and historical heritage assets may be used for its branding.Originality/valueThe other goal of this research is to find out how some of Balkh's historical and cultural assets could be used to create a city brand and show off the city's rich history.
