Abstract
This study aims to be an exploratory study that analyzes individual health changes caused by COVID-19 and analyzes differences by identifying whether health inequalities exist. According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency‘s 2020 Community Health Survey, the walking rate was 37.4% on a national basis, a decrease of 3.0%p year-on-year, and the gap calculated by the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the average between regions was 67.8%p, an increase of 9.8%p year-on-year. The research questions are as follows: first, "Did COVID-19 affect health inequalities between regions?", and secondly, "If health inequalities exist, what about the pandemic before and after changes in spatial and spatial distributions?". The summary measures(Coefficient of variance) and spatial econometrics models(Moran’s I and LISA) are used to analyze the changes in health disparities between regions before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. This paper analyzes the differences in the health level of citizens between regions with the national city and township as a spatial scope.
