Abstract
With the spread of COVID-19 infection, a state of emergency has been announced and individuals have been refrained from acting. Along with this, people’s behavior has changed, which has never been seen in the past. In this paper, we first clarified the actual situation based on an activity survey for individuals throughout daily life. As a result, it was concretely shown that the conversion of transportation from public transportation to automobiles, and the implementation of work at home (remote work) have not returned to the original state, even after the state of emergency was lifted. The change is occurring plastically. In addition, using the relationship diagram between urban density and automobile dependency introduced by Newman and Kenworthy (1999), it was suggested that the infection situation may be worse in cities with sparse urban spaces that are highly dependent on automobiles. Furthermore, based on the results of research on online shopping from the past and the results of new awareness surveys, we pointed out the considerable impact of remote work and online shopping on the actual urban space in the future. At the same time, examples are given of actual urban facilities that are currently disappearing as if they were swept away by the “the slowly coming tsunami.” Based on these results, this paper emphasized the need for a “new three-magnet,” which is a basic concept for using cyberspace in consideration of real space. As a concrete action, with the catchphrase “How to manage online wisely”, we need to establish “Outing MM” that recommends the safety of going out as a new mobility management measure.
