“…Based on Google Mobility Report data, even comparing two countries with different characteristics, Germany and Qatar, the impact on the transport sector (e.g., correlations between traffic volume and government measures) was found to be similar (Jaekel and Muley 2022). Using smart card and private vehicle records in Korea, Lee et al (2023) found that trip frequency was significantly decreased during non-peak hours on weekdays and during weekends. In addition, private vehicle usage increased for shorter trip distances, while bus usage dropped regardless of trip distances.…”

The unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak has significantly influenced our daily life, and COVID-19’s spread is inevitably associated with human mobility. Given the pandemic’s severity and extent of spread, a timely and comprehensive synthesis of the current state of research is needed to understand the pandemic’s impact on human mobility and corresponding government measures. This study examined the relevant literature published to the present (March 2023), identified research trends, and conducted a systematic review of evidence regarding transport’s response to COVID-19. We identified key research agendas and synthesized the results, examining: (1) mobility changes by transport modes analyzed regardless of government policy implementation, using empirical data and survey data; (2) the effect of diverse government interventions to reduce mobility and limit COVID-19 spread, and controversial issues on travel restriction policy effects; and (3) future research issues. The findings showed a strong relationship between the pandemic and mobility, with significant impacts on decreased overall mobility, a remarkable drop in transit ridership, changes in travel behavior, and improved traffic safety. Government implemented various non-pharmaceutical countermeasures, such as city lockdowns, travel restrictions, and social distancing. Many studies showed such interventions were effective. However, some researchers reported inconsistent outcomes. This review provides urban and transport planners with valuable insights to facilitate better preparation for future health emergencies that affect transportation.

“…Other influencing factors include various prevention and control campaigns discouraging public gatherings, which may have diminished residents' inclination to frequent these green areas. This trend likely endured throughout the entirety of the pandemic [58]. Nevertheless, despite the reduced individual aspirations for visitation post-outbreak, residents still expressed a need for at least one green space visit per week during the pandemic (the numerical scale is as follows: 1 denotes less than once, 2 denotes once, and this pattern increases accordingly; the value 2.038 signifies a minimum of one time in green space).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a quintessential public health crisis, profoundly impacting the utilization patterns of urban green spaces through stringent quarantine and lockdown measures. However, existing research inadequately addresses specific concerns regarding future urban green spaces and tends to oversimplify population divisions. This study delves into the needs and preferences of Shanghai residents affected by the pandemic and quarantine measures, focusing on various aspects such as specific types of green spaces, facilities, landscape elements, and landscape and spatial types. Multifactorial population clustering was also performed. This study delineates the following conclusions: (1) It is imperative to afford residents access to green spaces at least once a week, even during quarantine periods. (2) Residents exhibited a preference for accessible green spaces equipped with essential amenities, favoring unobstructed vistas and plant-centric ecological landscapes during the pandemic. Additionally, there is a notable preference for private green spaces among residents. (3) Post-pandemic, the “affluent” group displays a heightened overall demand for green spaces, the “middle-class” group shows a conspicuous inclination towards specific green space landscape elements, while the “low-income” group consistently exhibits a low preference for green spaces during and after the pandemic. This study underscores the necessity of developing human-centric green spaces to promote equity and resilience in the face of future emergencies, rooted in residents’ preferences amidst public health crises.

“…The lack of conclusive findings in related academic fields can be attributed to the scarcity of studies exploring the factors that significantly influence the acceptance intention of airport biometric systems although a few exist (e.g., [10,13,21,22]). Also, travel behaviors have undergone significant changes in response to COVID-19 [23][24][25]. As we prepare for the post-pandemic era, it is important to establish precise strategies by identifying the factors that influence the adoption of airport biometric systems.…”

After the pandemic, there has been an increasing emphasis on customer convenience, with biometrics emerging as a key solution. This study empirically investigates the intention of Korean travelers to use airport biometric systems. The technology acceptance model (TAM) was employed to explore users’ perceptions of the system’s functional aspects, while technology familiarity, social influence, and trust in information protection were integrated into the model to understand users’ psychological aspects. The results reveal that perceived usefulness and ease of use have a positive relationship with the intention to use the biometric system and that perceived ease of use positively influences perceived usefulness. The impact of social influence and technology familiarity was not statistically significant but trust emerged as the most influential factor determining the intention to use the system. Furthermore, the study identified that gender moderates the effect of trust on the intention to use. This study contributes by identifying key determinants for airport biometric system adoption and by investigating the moderating influence of gender. As a primary result, airport biometric systems must have effective functionality and a user-friendly passenger environment while ensuring confidence in system security. These findings have significant implications for the sustainable implementation of airport biometric systems.
