The COVID-19 pandemic has brought both tangible and intangible damage to our society. Many researchers studied about its societal impacts in the countries that had implemented strong social distancing measures such as stay-at-home orders. Among them, human mobility has been studied extensively due to its importance in flattening the curve. However, mobility has not been actively studied in the context of mild social distancing. Insufficient understanding of human mobility in diverse contexts might provide limited implications for any technological interventions to alleviate the situation. To this end, we collected a dataset consisting of more than 1M daily smart device users in the third-largest city of South Korea, which has implemented mild social distancing policies. We analyze how COVID-19 shaped human mobility in the city from geographical, socio-economic, and socio-political perspectives. We also examine mobility changes for points of interest and special occasions such as transportation stations and the case of legislative elections. We identify a typology of populations through these analyses as a means to provide design implications for technological interventions. This paper contributes to social sciences through in-depth analyses of human mobility and to the CSCW community with new design challenges and potential implications.

轻度社会疏远背景下 COVID-19 期间的人员流动：对技术干预的影响

COVID-19 大流行给我们的社会带来了有形和无形的损害。许多研究人员研究了其在实施了强有力的社会疏远措施（例如居家令）的国家中的社会影响。其中，人类流动性因其在拉平曲线方面的重要性而被广泛研究。然而，在温和的社会疏远的背景下，流动性尚未得到积极研究。对不同背景下人类流动的理解不足可能对缓解这种情况的任何技术干预措施的影响有限。为此，我们收集了一个由韩国第三大城市每天超过 100 万智能设备用户组成的数据集，该城市实施了温和的社会疏远政策。我们分析了 COVID-19 如何从地理、社会经济和社会政治观点。我们还研究了兴趣点和特殊场合的流动性变化，例如交通站和立法选举的情况。我们通过这些分析确定了人口类型，作为为技术干预提供设计含义的一种手段。本文通过对人类流动性的深入分析为社会科学做出贡献，并通过新的设计挑战和潜在影响为 CSCW 社区做出贡献。
