Abstract

Urban mobility is likely to undergo significant changes due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and future potential outbreaks. This study examines the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operational services of old-style LAMAT (i.e., Remork) drivers. The pandemic's influence was investigated using several analytical approaches—including mean comparison and regression analyses—which used data collected from an interview survey with 186 Remork drivers in Phnom Penh from December 25–28, 2020. The results indicated a negative influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the livelihoods of Remork drivers; that is, the drivers' monthly income has substantially declined since the pandemic began (p < 0.01). The impacted drivers also expressed their difficulties during the pandemic and requested various forms of public support. This study provides different perspectives on analytical techniques to examine the possible influence of COVID-19 on society and offers guidance for relevant urban transport policies in response to the current pandemic and the new normal.

新冠肺炎疫情对亚洲发展中城市旧式LAMAT服务的影响——以金边为例

由于目前的COVID-19大流行和未来可能爆发的疫情，城市交通可能会发生重大变化。本研究考察了新冠肺炎疫情对老式LAMAT(即remk)司机运营服务的影响。通过几种分析方法(包括均值比较和回归分析)调查了大流行的影响，这些分析方法使用了2020年12月25日至28日在金边对186名拉莫克司机进行的访谈调查收集的数据。结果表明，新冠肺炎疫情对司机生计产生负面影响;也就是说，自疫情开始以来，司机的月收入大幅下降(p <0.01)。受影响的司机还表达了他们在大流行期间的困难，并要求各种形式的公众支持。本研究为分析新冠肺炎对社会可能产生的影响提供了不同的分析技术视角，并为应对当前大流行和新常态的相关城市交通政策提供了指导。
