本研究的目的是确定在COVID-19大流行期间，交通行为根据每个住宅群发生变化的可步行街道。通过阐明的变化，它是可能的，以确定应该重新设计的街道以下的交通行为的变化与人类的流动性。本研究分析了位于大坂都市圈的郊区城市茨木市。该分析比较了2020年4月和2019年4月GPS位置历史的面板数据。所用的分析方法是经验贝叶斯克里金。结果表明，在密集、蔓延、山区和老NT集群中，速度显著增加。我们亦发现，在COVID-19疫情期间，骑自行车的人数有所增加。研究结果显示，有必要根据每个住宅区群为后COVID-19大流行时代设计适合步行的街道。例如，一些汽车车道需要在主要街区转换为自行车道，以在集群中创建适合步行的街道。
The purpose of this study was to identify the walkable streets where traffic behavior changed according to each residential cluster during the COVID-19 pandemic. By elucidating the changes, it is possible to identify streets that should be redesigned following the changes in traffic behavior in relation to human mobility. This study analyzed Ibaraki City, a suburban city located in the Osaka Metropolitan Area. The analysis compared the panel data of the GPS Location History for April 2020 and April 2019. The analysis method used was Empirical Bayesian kriging. The results show that the speed significantly increased in the dense, sprawl, mountain, and old NT clusters. It was also found that the number of cyclists increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results suggest a need to design walkable streets according to each residential cluster for the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. For example, some car lanes need to be converted to bike lanes in the main neighborhood to create walkable streets in the clusters.
