We conducted an observation survey at JR Osaka Station Atrium Square and a quantitative analysis of “securing physical distance” to clarify the effect of “new lifestyle” due to the COVID-19 infection in public spaces. As a result, we found the following. Three months after the state of emergency was lifted, the number of people stopped/stayed increased slightly compared to immediately after the state of emergency was lifted, but their locations tend to be more uniform. This is thought to be the result of the establishment of a “new lifestyle” due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
