Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to the travel and mobility of various population groups worldwide. These impacts were more pronounced for older adults, who, in various countries around the world, were instructed to quarantine for prolonged periods and avoid contact with others. The impact of these disruptions has been differently experienced between countries and geographical regions with levels of economic development and transport infrastructures playing a role. The aim of this article is firstly, to critically synthesise scientific literature about changes in travel behaviour and transport choices of older adults caused by the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in various countries, secondly, highlight the main gaps in the literature and finally, provide avenues for future research and transport policies. Findings indicate inequalities in access to transport explained by built environment design and policies adopted by governments to control the pandemic, as well as socio-economic and developmental factors. The implications of these findings for transport provision and increased mobility for older adults in the post-pandemic world are outlined. Finally, we discuss the importance of active aging policies, which could create more transportation options to support older adults’ mobility needs and access in the post-COVID-19 era in both high- and low-income countries.

对 COVID-19 大流行期间老年人出行行为和流动性的系统性审查:为可持续交通提供和健康老龄化吸取的经验教训
COVID-19 大流行严重干扰了世界各地不同人群的旅行和流动。这些影响对老年人更为明显,在世界各国,老年人被要求长期隔离并避免与他人接触。由于经济发展水平和交通基础设施的不同,各国和各地理区域受到的影响也不尽相同。本文的目的首先是批判性地综合有关各国应对 COVID-19 大流行导致老年人旅行行为和交通选择变化的科学文献,其次是强调文献中的主要空白,最后是为未来研究和交通政策提供途径。研究结果表明,建筑环境设计、政府为控制疫情而采取的政策以及社会经济和发展因素都是造成交通不平等的原因。我们概述了这些研究结果对疫情后世界的交通供给和提高老年人流动性的影响。最后,我们讨论了积极老龄化政策的重要性,这些政策可以创造更多的交通选择,以支持高收入和低收入国家的老年人在后 COVID-19 时代的交通需求和出行。

期刊介绍: Transport Reviews is an international journal that comprehensively covers all aspects of transportation. It offers authoritative and current research-based reviews on transportation-related topics, catering to a knowledgeable audience while also being accessible to a wide readership. Encouraging submissions from diverse disciplinary perspectives such as economics and engineering, as well as various subject areas like social issues and the environment, Transport Reviews welcomes contributions employing different methodological approaches, including modeling, qualitative methods, or mixed-methods. The reviews typically introduce new methodologies, analyses, innovative viewpoints, and original data, although they are not limited to research-based content.
