Abstract

We analyse the Slovenian subsample (n = 415) of an international online survey about changes in daily mobility during the COVID-19 outbreak in spring of 2020 from a geographical perspective. We split the dataset into three spatial classes (urban, transitional and rural) according to respondents’ place of residence. The people’s behaviour is compared before and under the COVID-19 lockdown and are analysed in terms of commuting frequency, changes in mode choice for commuting and style of grocery shopping. The results show that commuting was reduced drastically during the lockdown while the car both for commuting and shopping remained the main transport mode, especially in rural areas. With an unprecedented insight on travel behaviour changes due to pandemic, the study congruously argues for improved transport policies to meet climate change and public health challenges.

新冠肺炎对斯洛文尼亚日常流动性的影响

我们从地理角度分析了一项国际在线调查的斯洛文尼亚子样本（n=415），该调查涉及2020年春季新冠肺炎疫情期间日常流动性的变化。我们根据受访者的居住地将数据集划分为三个空间类别（城市、过渡和农村）。对新冠肺炎封锁前后人们的行为进行了比较，并从通勤频率、通勤模式选择的变化和杂货店购物方式等方面进行了分析。结果显示，在封锁期间，通勤大幅减少，而通勤和购物的汽车仍然是主要的交通方式，尤其是在农村地区。该研究对疫情导致的旅行行为变化有着前所未有的见解，一致主张改善交通政策，以应对气候变化和公共卫生挑战。
