We aim to understand the effect of different information types on risk perception and examine relationship between perceived travel behaviour during a pandemic outbreak. A hybrid choice model structure, incorporating multiple discrete-continuous extreme value model, was formulated estimated explore travellers' mode usage changes. used map visually explain which elements felt unfamiliar uncontrollable travellers. Virus variation, Potential sequelae, Long-term coexistence coronavirus with humans were as most elements. The results indicate that increased tends reduce use public transport increase shared bikes private cars. Reducing passengers' is critical encourage re-uptake in post-pandemic era. As travellers also show significant heterogeneity, governments should design targeted intervention strategies return when considering communication.

The restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to significant changes in travel behaviour and public activities, they might contributed residential location choices. However, research examining relationship between choice is very limited. To that end, this paper focuses on how pandemic-induced work patterns, preferences daily activity patterns altered potentially, relocation trends. main determinants of been established literature over past 30 years: physical attributes dwelling; surrounding built environment; affordability; accessibility transportation, workplaces, services. each these are prioritised differently depending circumstances. Therefore, exploring priorities shifted after can pave way for understanding shift as a consequence. From review, key findings include decreasing importance transport workplace pandemic. Firstly, teleworking becoming more prevalent within office jobs than before pandemic, leading less frequent trips conventional reducing need live commutable distance workplace. Secondly, other activities likewise become due either remote alternatives (e.g., online shopping) or shifting towards services closer home, general. Another consequence people staying at home longer before, thus increasing desirable dwelling such larger house size wider green space. Since generally affordable areas accessible services, may subsequently lead migrations lower population density, potentially decentralising urban areas.

This study synthesizes the empirical research on Work From Home (WFH) during COVID-19 from 2020 to 2022. The addressed two objectives; (1) find common WFH practices 2020–2022 period and (2) areas that are not in landscape (3) need attention future practices. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology Preferred Reporting Items for Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used address these objectives. Following a predetermined article selection criteria, 108 articles included Scopus review. first objective found five of outcomes which are; attitudinal means WFH, Gender-related outcomes, Leadership challenges mental health (4) Work-related (5) Mobility-related outcomes. Addressing second objective, we have seven research, including related Determinants Occupational addressing objective. Moreover, implications practicality researchers also provided.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in working from home worldwide, making the work-from-home (WFH) setting crucial context for studying influence of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) on workers' well-being and productivity. A narrative visual synthesis 41 research articles IEQ WFH settings was conducted identify factors being measured their correlations with perceived productivity well-being. This review shows that conditions at were mainly within recommended international standards. However, some high maxima recorded, particularly metrics related air partly due wider availability evidence, which raised concerns regarding suitability while home. Despite presence these maxima, workers generally rated all highly. could possibly reflect lack awareness changes conditions, suggesting monitoring might be necessary when Compared traditional offices, seemed more satisfied although found deficient sound insulation, ergonomic technological support, leading multiple health complaints. Several studies have also demonstrated between assessments those productivity, physical mental Future should consider using longitudinal study design including representative samples, different seasons, multi-domain analyses, multicountry multicultural settings.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated cultural and organisational acceptance of remote working. For a portion the commuting workforce, working from home (WFH) is now possible. Of great interest whether increased WFH will diminish actual mobility, thereby reduce transport task cities. To understand this possibility, we must know how much be sustained into future. Using bespoke approach combining scholarly grey literature, review develops tangible record employee desires intentions to WFH, in context expectations employers. Its contribution novel rigorous appraisal recent practices sentiments. Results confirm that there strong underlying demand WFH. Many studies, however, estimate unrealistically high rates which cannot projected onto wider population. Further, find conflict between preferences their with estimations far greater than estimates expectations. This finding confirmed by analysis employer Employers broadly realise accommodating reflects best-practice approach, yet favour predictable routines where specific days on-site attendance are mandated. We conclude reflections on impact our findings system. propose commuter decision-making depends degree employers mandate attendance.

COVID-19 mitigation measures triggered a sharp increase in the adoption of teleshopping and telecommuting activities. However, there is need to understand extent which past frequencies experiences will affect post-pandemic teleactivity behavior. Moreover, are interconnected, relationship may exist between them world.

The data come web-based survey conducted for Central Okanagan region Canada. Model results confirm presence unobserved factors influencing choices. Looking at endogeneity, after pandemic revealed positive effect on shopping. were not same ordering. also significant impact preferences.

Urban birds' tolerance towards humans was largely unaffected by COVID-19 shutdown-induced variation in human presence

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and respective shutdowns dramatically altered human activities, potentially changing pressures on urban-dwelling animals. Here, we use such COVID-19-induced variation in presence to evaluate, across multiple temporal scales, how urban birds from five countries changed their tolerance towards humans, measured as escape distance. We collected 6369 responses for 147 species found that numbers parks at a given hour, day, week or year (before during shutdowns) had little effect birds’ distances. All effects centered around zero, except the actual trial (hourly scale) correlated negatively, albeit weakly, with results were similar most species. Our highlight resilience of changes complexities linking animal fear behavior, challenge quantifying both simultaneously situ.
