The world has been combating the Covid-19 global pandemic for almost a year, with cities being at the centre of the fight against the pandemic. However, variations in urban characteristics, population, economic size, and connectivity have led to different impacts of the pandemic's dispersion between cities. The pandemic has disrupted social and economic activities in the Java metropolitan area, which accounts for more than 60% of the national economy and boasts a population of more than 60 million people. Using spatial and econometric analysis on the Java metro area as a case study, this paper shows that large cities and core-metropolitan areas are more prone to the pandemic due to higher population density and commuter rate;these factors determine the number of positive cases. This study highlights the importance of spatial and economic activities in urban policies for the containment of the spread of Covid-19.

Principal curvatures have free-form rigid surfaces' invariant features. Therefore they are widely used in several fields for various applications, such as determining the corresponding points between an object and a free-form scene. In this study, the authors analysed the surface curvature of a bivariate normal distribution. A novel approach for classifying bivariate normal surfaces based on curvature statistics concerning correlation structures is presented. The principal curvatures, Gaussian, and mean curvatures were obtained using the data generated from the bivariate normal distribution. The degree of dependency bivariate data directly affects the shape and curvature structures of the bivariate normal distribution surface. Different parameters, from uncorrelated to highly correlated variables, for the correlation of the bivariate normal distribution based on the data have been examined. The effects of the correlation on the distribution surface characteristics have been analysed individually and collectively. This study presents theoretical results in addition to the results of the simulation and real datasets. The simulation data presents the relationship between the independence of the variables and the uniformity of the kappa(n2) values. The other application is based on the curvature properties of the bivariate normal surface on Covid-19 as real data.

Tatabanya has been among the most successful Hungarian towns in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), which now plays a determining role in its economy. Can already operating, foreign-owned firms, along with the attraction of new firms alleviate the negative economic consequences of the COVID pandemic? What other FDI-related policy options are available for the local government to handle the negative consequences of the crisis? This question is analysed based on publicly available information and interviews taken with representatives of the local government and industrial park. It shows that foreign-owned firms already operating in various industries and coming from numerous countries played a stabilising role during the crisis, especially in the labour market and local tax revenues, mainly because of the large-scale and diverse local FDI. However, this article also shows that local FDI is loosely embedded and shows limited signs of upgrading, thus its positive impact on Hungarian-owned local firms is limited. Further, new FDI projects initiated by nonlocal players due to the increasingly limited manoeuvring room of local authorities are assumed to increase the vulnerability of the town's economy due to their one-sided specialisation and contribution to low levels of embeddedness and upgrading. In addition, they may have negative local environmental and infrastructural impacts. Thus, in handling the negative consequences of the crisis, local authorities cannot rely on attracting new projects, and those attracted by the central agencies have shortcomings from the point of view of handling the negative consequences of the crisis. Therefore, from the point of view of local authorities, a strategy aimed at increasing the embeddedness of FDI already present and fostering their upgrades may be fruitful.
