Abstract

The previous literature in relation to the ongoing pandemic has revealed that COVID-19 may have a negative impact on social mobility and interactions within public urban spaces. While the present study has substantiated that there was no significant difference between people's use of urban spaces before and after the onset of COVID-19. Meanwhile, after the call off of the lockdown, people have shown a very strong desire for social interactions in sociable locations. This fact has revealed the novelty of present study. However, the pedestrians' propensity for commercial spaces has mitigated in comparison with the pre-COVID-19 periods; which is in line with previous studies.
