Description:
The COVID-19 pandemic makes a big impact on human mobility. For example, non-pharmaceutical control measures such as physical distancing not only help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 to some extent, but also affect people’s daily mobility. The available geospatial technologies (e.g., GPS and environmental sensing) as well as the high-quality data of individual health outcomes may help document the associations between environmental contexts and human mobility. Additionally, understanding how these associations shift further helps people understand the changes in human-environmental associations during the global pandemic. Further, the environmental sensors and the individual trajectory data have been recognized as important tools to measure environmental effects on individual health outcomes and mobility in public health, environmental health, food study, and crime.
This session welcomes papers seeking associations between human mobility and environmental contexts before and/or during the global pandemic. Viewpoints specifying challenges that should be paid attention to regarding human mobility are also welcomed. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
• Impacts of environmental contexts on human mobility
• Applications integrating sensor data (e.g., noise/air pollution) and trajectory data to study individual mobility/health outcomes before and/or during the global pandemic
• Public health impacts of food security and food accessibility before and/or during the global pandemic
• Geoprivacy protection when collecting individual mobility data
• Innovations of the conceptual framework and/or methodological issues in human mobility research
