“…COVID-19, directly and indirectly, affects people’s mental health through decreased employment, fear triggered by media coverage, isolation, and so on (Falk et al, 2020). Some studies have demonstrated psychological problems such as increased psychological stress (Dyer et al, 2023), depression and anxiety (Bartone et al, 2022; Güdül Öz and Nazik, 2023; Rudenstine et al, 2022), increased suicidal ideation (Liu et al, 2023; Narita et al, 2023; Olié et al, 2022), insomnia (AlRasheed et al, 2022), post-traumatic stress disorder (Hébert et al, 2022), and severe emotional exhaustion (Carranza Esteban et al, 2022) during the pandemic. However, relevant studies have mainly focused on the mediating and direct effects of COVID-19 on mental health and illness, lacking attention to the differences in its effects caused by the neighborhood environment.…”

Due to COVID-19, the urban lockdown has caused a significant impact on the mental health of residents. However, limited research investigates the role of neighborhood factors on residents’ mental health during and after the lockdown. This study examines Wuhan, the first city to experience the COVID-19 outbreak, employing multiple linear regression and XGBoost algorithms to analyze the emotional status and distribution of Wuhan residents. The goal of this study is to identify the moderating effect of the neighborhood environment scale on emotional positivity and the marginal effect of the neighborhood environment on residents’ emotions. The results of the study indicate that specific neighborhood environmental characteristics have varying effects on residents’ positive emotions, both before and after the COVID-19 lockdown. The green space ratio, attraction density, waterfront space density, and service facility density all positively affected mood within different distance ranges. Shopping facilities, on the other hand, had mainly positive effects during the open period, with negative effects during the closed period. Furthermore, this study determined scale thresholds where neighborhood environments had a positive effect on mood. For instance, attractions and waterfront areas improved the mood of residents in residential areas, up to at least 3 km away. Medical facilities had a positive effect on residents’ mood beyond 2.2 km. This study highlights crucial implications for planning and managing neighborhoods to promote resilience during future public health crises.
