“…Resource consumption is also an interesting topic during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, Geraldi et al found that the electric energy consumption by health centres, administrative buildings, elementary schools, and nursery schools reduced by 11.1%, 38.6%, 50.3%, and 50.4%, respectively [22]. In Joinville, Kalbusch et al found that the water consumption by the commercial, industrial and public categories decreased.…”

This study investigated changes of individuals’ consumption behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic and explored the driving determinants in consumption expenditure in Zhejiang China. Based on the 454 samples of survey data, which were collected in 2020 and 2021, it showed a reduction trend in consumption expenditure during the pandemic. Compared to the consumptions before the pandemic, money spent on housing, food, and beverage did not change too much. However, expenditures on wearing, recreation, and education reduced. Age, family size, and household income were significant to the expenditure changes. Online shopping became an important alternative way for residents during the pandemic and the trend is expected to continue even after the pandemic. Based on the findings, suggestions are summarized as two points. First, the young and single residents are the main group for recovering the consumption for wearing, recreation, education, and public transport. Meanwhile, to improve the satisfactions in online shopping, regulations should be issued by the government in improving the quality of goods and service.

“…Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) imposed serious damage to the public health and is causing worldwide concern to the person-to-person transmission in buildings ( Benita, 2021 , Geraldi et al, 2021 ). Transmission routes of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been widely investigated, covering the large respiratory droplets, airborne aerosol and fomite routes ( Desai et al, 2021 , Agarwal et al, 2021 ).…”

Aerosol transmission is academically recognized as possible transmission route of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We established an approach to assess the airborne-disease infection risks through aerosol transmission based on the dose-response model and aerosol transport model. The accuracy of evaluation was guaranteed with on-site surveyed ventilation rate and occupant behavior. With the proposed approach, COVID-19 infection risks in 5 typical supermarkets and 21 small shops were evaluated. With one original infected early-shift staff, the average aerosols concentrations at steady-state are 1.06 × 10 −3 RNA copies/m 3 in the supermarkets and 4.73 × 10 −2 RNA copies/m 3 in the small shops. With the assumption of 5% original infected staff in the retail buildings, the infection probability of one customer is 1.40 × 10 −6 for visiting one small shop and 6.22 × 10 −6 for visiting one supermarket. The averaged infection risk in the supermarkets is higher than the small shops (p-value<0.001). On the other hand, the infection risks are higher for the staff working with the infected staff compared with the customers. The proposed approach can be applied to other occupied buildings and assist the pandemic control policy making for sustainable cities and society.

“…It is not enough to study Covid-19 from a health perspective; thus it is important to explore any impact of Covid-19 to others' discipline of study. For example, Covid-19 has been related to other subjects of the study such as social sciences ( Lake et al, 2021 ; Zhou and Guo, 2021 ), computer science ( Oliveira et al, 2021 ; Rahman et al, 2021 ), environmental sciences ( Sharif et al, 2021 ; Tarazona et al, 2021 ; Vale et al, 2021 ), and energy ( Geraldi et al, 2021 ; Szczygielski et al, 2021 ). The Covid-19 pandemic also has links to other global issues and problems such as poverty ( Brum and Rosa, 2021 ; Tavares and Betti, 2021 ), climate change ( Bhat et al, 2021 ; Rosenbloom and Markard, 2020 ), anthropogenic stressor ( Sarà et al, 2021 ), and food security ( Nchanji and Lutomia, 2021 ; Nechifor et al, 2021 ; Shupler et al, 2021 ).…”
