Abstract

The urban area is a spatial system that significantly impacts residents’ health risks. Despite the fact that urban areas house only 55% of the global population, they account for 95% of COVID-19 cases, highlighting the urgent need to understand the role of the urban environment in disease spread. This research explores the critical impact of urban form characteristics on public health risks, focusing primarily on the dynamics of COVID-19 transmission. The aim of the study study is to elucidate the spatial association between urban form elements such as connectivity, density, and heterogeneity and the incidence of COVID-19 cases, with a specific focus on Yogyakarta. Using global (OLS) and local (GWR) spatial regression models, we analyzed the relationship between these elements and COVID-19 prevalence at the neighborhood level rigorously. Our findings reveal a pronounced spatial correlation, particularly highlighting the significance of connectivity and heterogeneity. These factors explain over 95% of the variance in case numbers, while density shows no substantial link. This study’s originality lies in its hypothesis-driven examination of urban form impact on COVID-19 transmission, providing new insights into the spatial determinants of health risks in urban settings. Practical implications of our research are profound, providing evidencebased guidance for urban planning and disaster preparedness strategies to mitigate future health crises better. The study contributes valuable insights into designing healthier and more sustainable urban environments by providing a nuanced understanding of how the urban form influences the spread of disease.

揭示空间动态:探索印度尼西亚日惹市的城市形态特征和 COVID-19 案例
城市是一个对居民健康风险有重大影响的空间系统。尽管城市人口仅占全球人口的 55%,但却占 COVID-19 病例的 95%,这凸显了了解城市环境在疾病传播中的作用的迫切性。本研究探讨了城市形态特征对公共卫生风险的关键影响,主要侧重于 COVID-19 的传播动态。本研究旨在阐明城市形态要素(如连通性、密度和异质性)与 COVID-19 病例发生率之间的空间关联,并特别关注日惹。我们使用全局(OLS)和局部(GWR)空间回归模型,严格分析了这些要素与邻里层面 COVID-19 发病率之间的关系。我们的研究结果显示了明显的空间相关性,尤其突出了连通性和异质性的重要性。这些因素解释了病例数 95% 以上的差异,而密度则没有显示出实质性的联系。这项研究的独创性在于,它以假设为导向,探讨了城市形态对 COVID-19 传播的影响,为研究城市环境中健康风险的空间决定因素提供了新的视角。我们的研究具有深远的现实意义,为城市规划和备灾策略提供了循证指导,从而更好地缓解未来的健康危机。通过对城市形态如何影响疾病传播的细致了解,这项研究为设计更健康、更可持续的城市环境提供了宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍: Journal “GEOGRAPHY, ENVIRONMENT, SUSTAINABILITY” is founded by the Faculty of Geography of Lomonosov Moscow State University, The Russian Geographical Society and by the Institute of Geography of RAS. It is the official journal of Russian Geographical Society, and a fully open access journal. Journal “GEOGRAPHY, ENVIRONMENT, SUSTAINABILITY” publishes original, innovative, interdisciplinary and timely research letter articles and concise reviews on studies of the Earth and its environment scientific field. This goal covers a broad spectrum of scientific research areas (physical-, social-, economic-, cultural geography, environmental sciences and sustainable development) and also considers contemporary and widely used research methods, such as geoinformatics, cartography, remote sensing (including from space), geophysics, geochemistry, etc. “GEOGRAPHY, ENVIRONMENT, SUSTAINABILITY” is the only original English-language journal in the field of geography and environmental sciences published in Russia. It is supposed to be an outlet from the Russian-speaking countries to Europe and an inlet from Europe to the Russian-speaking countries regarding environmental and Earth sciences, geography and sustainability. The main sections of the journal are the theory of geography and ecology, the theory of sustainable development, use of natural resources, natural resources assessment, global and regional changes of environment and climate, social-economical geography, ecological regional planning, sustainable regional development, applied aspects of geography and ecology, geoinformatics and ecological cartography, ecological problems of oil and gas sector, nature conservations, health and environment, and education for sustainable development. Articles are freely available to both subscribers and the wider public with permitted reuse.
