Abstract
We analyse the Slovenian subsample (n = 415) of an international online survey about changes in daily mobility during the COVID-19 outbreak in spring of 2020 from a geographical perspective. We split the dataset into three spatial classes (urban, transitional and rural) according to respondents’ place of residence. The people’s behaviour is compared before and under the COVID-19 lockdown and are analysed in terms of commuting frequency, changes in mode choice for commuting and style of grocery shopping. The results show that commuting was reduced drastically during the lockdown while the car both for commuting and shopping remained the main transport mode, especially in rural areas. With an unprecedented insight on travel behaviour changes due to pandemic, the study congruously argues for improved transport policies to meet climate change and public health challenges.
期刊介绍：
Acta geographica Slovenica publishes original research papers from all fields of geography and related disciplines, and provides a forum for discussing new aspects of theory, methods, issues, and research findings, especially in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe.
The review accepts original research papers and review papers. Papers presenting new developments and innovative methods in geography are welcome. Submissions should address current research gaps and explore state-of-the-art issues. Research based on case studies should have the added value of transnational comparison and should be integrated into established or new theoretical and conceptual frameworks.
The target readership is researchers, policymakers, students, and others who are studying or applying geography at various levels.
Submissions are accepted in English or Slovenian.
