“…It influences how society uses space and focuses our perspective on the importance of critical infrastructures, public services, and community networks (Lamker et al, 2020). The Covid-19 pandemic might have a lasting impact on the way we deal with our built environment and open spaces (Gill et al, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic also provides an unsettling window onto distinctions between 'high' and 'low' tech and 'skilled' and 'unskilled' labor, and the problems with seeing the world in terms of 'technological fixes' (Mody, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious problems in South Korea that led to an economic recession, stunted national growth, a huge gap between the real estate market and the asset market, and job instability in almost all sectors. Like most countries around the world, South Korea has aggressively implemented economic policies to overcome the debilitating effects of the pandemic, actively pursuing policy countermeasures that focused on what it called the Korean New Deal. To measure the effects of the Korean New Deal on the revitalization of the nation, this research paper used a dynamic regression model to analyze its impact on the economy. Our research used panel data on South Korea’s resulting economic growth rate and the supplementary budget the government provided to attain it. Our analysis showed that the supplementary budget created by the South Korean government did have an effect on the quarterly economic growth rate compared to that of the previous quarter. However, compared to the previous year’s economic growth rate, the government’s supplementary budget investment was unable to augment the yearly growth rate. It is our hope that these findings and the analysis of these outcomes will contribute to the formulation and implementation of a more efficient set of economic policies by the South Korean government for overcoming the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation’s economic life and well-being.

“…The Covid-19 pandemic might have a lasting impact on what we deal with in our built environment and open spaces. From its start, researchers and practitioners have felt the need to reflect on its consequences, which are spatial and social as well as political and economic (Gill et al 2020). Although there are some statements about when and how this epidemic will end, there is no complete information on this issue.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic, which emerged in Wuhan city of China's Hubei province in December 2019, affected the whole world in a short period of 3 months. The Covid-19 outbreak, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization as of March 12, 2020; was imposed significant restrictions on the use of open spaces, which adversely affected the daily life of individuals physically, mentally and socially. Apart from the health problems experienced by people, it has also created many spatial choices and changes. New preferences, where social distance is at the forefront, have started new venue organizations along with new requests. Although the changes experienced with the Covid-19 pandemic may seem negative, they contain opportunities that allow change and development. Making people's living environments more functional, remembering the importance of nature and reviewing social relations can be evaluated in this context. Looking from history to the present, the Covid-19 pandemic is not the first and will not be the last. For this reason, the study aims to investigate the change in the spatial preferences in the society with the pandemic and to create an idea for the next pandemics. In this context, 289 people were reached by using the online survey method and various questions were asked. Various results were obtained and interpreted by performing variance analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, crosstabs test and frequency analysis (P˂0.01) on the obtained data. As a result of the study, from the statistical data, it has been observed that 'people are more oriented to nature' due to the Covid-19 pandemic and that open green spaces suitable for social distance are sought in spatial preferences. These findings shed new light on the value of urban nature as resilience infrastructure during a time of crisis.

“… Barbarossa (2020, p. 3) observes that this mega health crisis “has strictly connected mobility, urban spaces and health, highlighting the need to act immediately in transforming cities through new sustainable transport models”. Thus, although there are researchers ( Askarizad et al, 2021 ; Gill et al, 2020 ) that disagree to such a view, the outbreak seems to have had a positive impact on urban planning strategies as the implementation of specific urban renewal plans has been accelerated.…”
