摘要

边境城镇受益于货物、服务和人员的跨境流动。在 COVID-19 大流行时，许多边境城镇因政府关闭边境而遭受挫折。我们对莱索托附近的南非小镇 Ladybrand 的经济如何受到封锁规定的影响进行了调查。我们发现，当地的规划并没有利用边境小镇经济的优势，也没有为边境关闭做好准备。零售店受到的冲击最大，其次是运输、服务和卫生部门。破旧的基础设施和糟糕的服务使该镇难以应对边境关闭的影响。

The COVID-19 Border Closure and Local Economic Development in a South African Border Town

Border towns benefit from cross-border movement of goods, services and people. Many suffered setbacks when governments responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by closing borders. We investigated how the lockdown regulations affected the economy of Ladybrand, a small South African town near Lesotho. We found that local planning was not taking advantage of the benefits of a border town economy and was unprepared for border closure. Retail outlets were the hardest hit, followed by the transport, services and health sectors. Dilapidated infrastructure and poor service delivery made it difficult for the town to cope with the effects of the border closure.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
