A study on changes in outing behavior, outdoor space usage and life satisfaction with COVID-19

Abstract

Going out behavior has dramatically changed, due to the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). We clarify how the new coronavirus infection affected outing behavior, the use of outdoor spaces, and the degree of life satisfaction. As a result, there was a correlation between the frequency of going out and the degree of life satisfaction, and we showed a decrease in the degree of life satisfaction. Outdoor spaces such as parks and green roads are one of the places to go, but few people selected outdoor spaces as new outing, so it is important to secure outdoor spaces as safe places to go out.
