Abstract

ABSTRACT Pedestrian infrastructures in Hong Kong enable multilevel city life in a vertical metropolis plagued by land scarcity. Public spaces integrated into pedestrian networks play an indispensable role in neighbourhood accessibility. We visualize the impact of the Covid-19 vaccine passport (VP) restrictions on the use of public space on pedestrian accessibility to all 97 metro stations in Hong Kong. Pedestrians without a vaccine passport (PwoVP) need to walk significantly longer alternative routes. Specifically, VP-related access restrictions to indoor walkways have doubled the shortest travel time for PwoVP and a 50% reduction in accessibility of two-thirds of stations.

可视化Covid-19疫苗护照对香港地铁站行人通道的影响

摘要香港的步行基础设施为土地短缺的垂直大都市提供了多层次的城市生活。融入步行网络的公共空间在社区无障碍方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。我们可视化了新冠肺炎疫苗护照（VP）对使用公共空间的限制对香港所有97个地铁站的行人可达性的影响。没有疫苗护照的行人需要走更长的替代路线。具体而言，与VP相关的室内人行道出入限制使PwoVP的最短旅行时间增加了一倍，三分之二的车站的出入减少了50%。
