Built environment and the metropolitan pandemic: Analysis of the COVID-19 spread in Hong Kong

Tsz Leung Yip et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019 led to rapid global infections and deaths, with metropolitan areas particularly affected due to their dense populations. This study investigates the impact of built environments on COVID-19 spread, finding that restaurants, public transportation, and markets play key roles in transmission. Recommendations include maintaining social distancing measures until the virus is contained.

Exploratory study on the spatial relationship between emerging infectious diseases and urban characteristics: Cases from Korea

Donghyun Kim

Summary: This study investigates the spatial correlations between urban characteristics and the emergence of infectious diseases. The research found that urban characteristic factors have different effects according to the type of infectious disease, with spatial regression models showing spatial dependence and clusters in the distribution of emerging infectious diseases. The study suggests spatial policies for preventing infectious diseases by considering the spatial relationships between urban characteristics and infectious diseases.

Built environment and early infection of COVID-19 in urban districts: A case study of Huangzhou

Bo Li et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the spatial distribution of COVID-19 clusters in urban areas, analyzing the case clusters in the Huangzhou district of Huanggang city using GIS methods. It explores the relationship between built environment attributes and cluster size, finding significant direct and indirect influences of commercial vitality and transportation infrastructure on the number of cases. The findings provide evidence for local health authorities to make informed decisions in responding to possible severe epidemics by implementing sufficient measures in areas with high resident density.

Association of built environment attributes with the spread of COVID-19 at its initial stage in China

Shuangjin Li et al.

Summary: The study found that factors related to the spread of COVID-19 include density of points of interest around railway stations, transportation from Hubei Province, and the aging population ratio in cities. Cities with higher infection rates tend to have higher between-ness centrality values, while the aging population ratio shows a negative association with infection rates.

Pandemics, tourism and global change: a rapid assessment of COVID-19

Stefan Gossling et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global tourism industry, causing a near halt in travel activities and a significant decrease in international tourist arrivals. As the crisis continues, the tourism sector needs to focus on its ability to respond to pandemics, reconsider existing growth models, and explore how the pandemic may reshape society and the economy.

Jarvis T. Chen et al.

Summary: The study reveals stark social inequities in COVID-19 outcomes in the United States, with higher rates of mortality, confirmed cases, and positive tests in areas with higher poverty rates, household crowding, and percentage of people of color. Similar socioeconomic gradients were observed in Illinois and New York City.
