The triad of host, agent, and environment has become a widely accepted framework for understanding infectious diseases human health. While modern medicine traditionally focused on the individual, there is renewed interest in role environment. Recent studies have shifted from an early-twentieth-century emphasis individual factors to broader consideration contextual factors, including environmental, climatic, social settings as spatial determinants This focus been particularly relevant context COVID-19 pandemic, where built urban increasingly recognized crucial factor influencing disease transmission. However, operationalizing complexity associations between health empirical analyses presents significant challenges. study aims identify key caveats operationalization analysis proposes guiding principles future research. We how was studied recent literature COVID-19. Based set criteria, we analyze 23 explicit implicit assumptions regarding health-related dimensions Our findings highlight complexities potential pitfalls, referred 'spatial trap,' current approaches epidemiology concerning conclude with recommendations questions avoid falsely attributing impact outcomes clarify dimensions.

While COVID-19 lockdowns have slowed coronavirus transmission, such structural measures also unintended consequences on mental and physical health. Growing evidence shows that exposure to the natural environment (e.g., blue-green spaces) can improve human health wellbeing. In this narrative review, we synthesized about nature's contributions wellbeing during first two years of pandemic. We found pandemic, people experienced multiple types nature, including both outdoors indoors. Frequency visits outdoor areas (i.e., public parks) depended lockdown severity socio-cultural contexts. Other forms nature exposure, as spending time in private gardens viewing greenery from windows, may increased. The majority suggests pandemic was associated with less depression, anxiety, stress, more happiness life satisfaction. Additionally, correlated inactivity fewer sleep disturbances. Evidence mixed regarding associations between COVID-related outcomes, while might be greater rates transmission mortality when proper social distancing were not maintained. Findings whether helped ameliorate inequities by impacting lower-socioeconomic populations than their higher-socioeconomic counterparts for example mixed. Based these findings, argue buffered negative behavioral impacts Recovery resilience current crises future improved nature-based infrastructure, interventions, designs, governance.

Despite the importance of social justice and community attachment for subjective well-being (SWB), existing research fails to adequately examine these factors in urban emergencies. This study develops a theoretical framework elucidate roles environment perception, justice, SWB during emergencies, with focus on vulnerable populations. Drawing context COVID-19 lockdown Shanghai, expands definition groups, considering including gender, income, immigrant, housing ownership, infection/exposure history. We proposed structural equation modelling compare groups multiple-group analysis. The analysis evidences direct contribution SWB, intermediates environmental perception SWB. These present heterogeneity among groups: identity only affects perceived health residents infection history, ownership high income. revisits interaction between emergencies from vulnerability perspective. discussions provide novel insights devising strategies service infrastructure development aimed at enhancing resilience. Also, findings can benefit emergency planning both city scale.

Since early 2020, researchers have made efforts to study various issues related cities and the pandemic. Despite wealth of research on this topic, there are only a few review articles that explore multiple it. This is partly because rapid pace publications makes systematic literature challenging. To address issue, in present study, we rely bibliometric analysis techniques gain an overview knowledge structure map key themes trends Results 2,799 show mainly focuses six broad themes: air quality, meteorological factors, built environment transportation, socio-economic disparities, smart cities, with first three being dominant. Based findings, discuss major lessons can be learned from pandemic highlight areas need further research.

This research investigates the relationship between COVID-19 and urban factors in Tokyo. To understand spread dynamics of COVID-19, study examined 53 variables (including population density, socio-economic status, housing conditions, transportation, land use) municipalities Tokyo prefecture. Using spatial models, analysed patterns predictors infection rates. The findings revealed that cases were concentrated central Tokyo, with clustering levels decreasing after outbreaks. rates higher areas a greater density retail stores, restaurants, health facilities, workers those sectors, public transit use, telecommuting. However, household crowding was negatively associated. also found telecommuting rate strongest according to regression model time-fixed effects, which had best validation stability. study's results could be useful for researchers policymakers, particularly because Japan have unique circumstances, as there no mandatory lockdown during pandemic.

Numerous studies have explored influencing factors in COVID-19, yet empirical evidence on spatiotemporal dynamics of COVID-19 inequalities concerning both socioeconomic and environmental at an intra-urban scale is lacking. This study, therefore, focuses neighborhood-level spatial the incidences relation to for Berlin-Neukölln, Germany, covering six pandemic periods (March 2020 December 2021). Spatial Bayesian negative binomial mixed-effect models were employed identify risk patterns different periods. We identified that (1) relative risks varied across time space, with sociodemographic exerting a stronger influence over features; (2) as most predictors, population migrant backgrounds was positively associated, 65 negatively associated incidence; (3) certain neighborhoods consistently faced elevated incidence. study highlights potential structural health within communities, lower status higher incidence diverse Our findings indicate locally tailored interventions citizens are essential address foster more sustainable urban environment.
