“…Data were collected between June and August 2020, when strict Covid-19 restrictions were still in place. The timing of this data collection enabled a particular focus on how homes were used and experienced during the pandemic, when existing work, care, and domestic labour practices were severely disrupted, our relationships to home and the meanings of home were altered (Byrne, 2020;Devine-Wright et al, 2020), and issues of housing quality were exacerbated (Brown et al, 2020;Byrne & Sassi, 2022;Horne et al, 2020;Soaita, 2021). In this paper, our analysis complements and builds on the studies discussed in the preceding paragraph through its focus on how a range of residents of working age in London experience the spatiality and affordances of their dwellings, and on how these experiences were challenged in the Covid-19 pandemic (in particular in relation to household dynamics and home working practices).…”

“…Since COVID-19 weakened the public ability to afford rent, mortgages, and home repairs [28], real estate economy data (including property management fees, housing prices, and housing rent) were also introduced to complement independent variables. The unit of these three economic indicators was unified as "RMB/square meter.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak followed by the strict citywide lockdown in Shanghai has sparked negative emotion surges on social media platforms in 2022. This research aims to investigate the spatial–temporal heterogeneity of a unique emotion (helplessness) and its built environment determinants. First, we scraped about twenty thousand Weibo posts and utilized their sentiments with natural language processing (NLP) to extract helplessness emotion and investigated its spatial–temporal variations. Second, we tested whether “helplessness” was related with urban environment attributes when other real estate economic and demographic variables were controlled using the ordinary least squares (OLS) model. Our results confirmed that helplessness emotion peaked in early April when the lockdown started. Second, residents in neighborhoods characterized by higher rents and property management fees, higher population density, lower housing prices, lower plot ratios, or surrounded by less tree view and higher perceived visual complexity, are found to exhibit higher degree of “helplessness”. This study provides an effective data-driven framework to utilize social media data for public sentiments monitoring. The helplessness emotion identified is a unique mental distress under strict quarantine measures, which expands the growing literature of urban governance in the post-pandemic era. Decision makers should pay attention to public opinions and design tailored management measures with reference to civic emotion dynamics to facilitate social sustainability and resilience in face of future crises.

“…The overall pandemic experiences of families [ 6 ] and specific experiences of adults who test positive for COVID-19 is being investigated, but little is known about the impact of a positive test on the child, parents and families [ 7 , 8 ]. In one qualitative study of 11 COVID-positive adult patients in New South Wales [ 7 ], five themes were identified to describe participants’ experiences in an isolation facility: knowing about COVID-19; planning for, and responding to, COVID-19; being infected; life in isolation and the room; and post-discharge life.…”

COVID-19 and associated public health policies have significantly disrupted the lives of both adults and children. Experiences of COVID-positive adults are well described but less is known about the experiences of families of children who receive a positive diagnosis, and the impact of public health policies on this experience. This study aimed to develop a framework to understand the lived experience of families with a child testing positive for COVID-19. We applied a qualitative study design, using grounded theory. The study took place in Melbourne, Australia between July and December 2020, during the first major Australian COVID-19 wave. Parents of children 0–18 years tested at a walk-in clinic at a paediatric tertiary referral hospital were invited to participate. Two interviewers jointly undertook in-depth interviews with parents of children who tested positive. Interviews were transcribed and two analysts used an inductive, critical realist analysis approach with NVivo and a virtual whiteboard. Results are presented incorporating a stratified reality (empirical, actual, real). Families described seven sequential stages of the COVID-19 positive testing journey: COVID-19 close to home; time to be tested; waiting for the test result; receiving the result; dealing with the diagnosis; coping with isolation; and moving forward/looking back. Our findings highlight how public health policies and messages targeting the general (adult) public were experienced by families. We provide a framework that families move through when their child tests positive for COVID-19. Within each phase, we report unmet needs and identify strategies to improve future pandemic planning for parents and children.
