Abstract

Taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this paper looks into the possibility that populations, in times of major social disruptions such as the Covid-19 lockdown, are not only affected by the immediate health risks and human and material losses, but also by psychological impacts, all of which have implications for spatial organisation and policies. As university lecturers, the authors asked a group of 73 students to carry out a series of questionnaires among ordinary people on different aspects of the lockdown in France. This fieldwork was completed by a French online press review and literature review on the same topics. The analysis of the data shows psychological discomfort and the development of new sociability traits in most of the interviewees, often belonging to the upper-middle class. In the light of these considerations, residential patterns could be re-examined so as to reorganise self-sufficient neighbourhoods in terms of ‘services’ at district level, thereby essentially rethinking notions like zoning and the separation of functions. Elements such as the purchasing power of citizens to have access to a certain number of square metres, which is the basis of the dynamics of the real estate market, appear inadequate if left alone in the social function of self-regulation, and underline the importance of the regulatory and mediating approach of public authorities. In terms of planning, spatial planning solutions should combine quality offer and relevant response to social demand. Transitions between private and public spaces tend to be too abrupt. If planning were to place greater attention to the levels of proximity and to spaces in transition between public and private spaces (rethinking services and infrastructures), residents would be able to enjoy more quality ‘living together’. If this is to be achieved, then public authorities need to deal with this issue as well as the market.

摘要

利用当前持续发生的Covid-19大流行提供的机会，本文研究了在严重的社会动荡时期（例如Covid-19封锁），人口不仅受到直接健康风险以及人类和物质影响的可能性损失以及心理影响，所有这些都会对空间组织和政策产生影响。作为大学讲师，作者请73名学生组成的小组针对法国封锁的不同方面在普通民众中进行了一系列问卷调查。这项现场工作是由法国在线新闻评论和有关相同主题的文献评论完成的。对数据的分析表明，大多数受访者（通常属于中上阶层）的心理不适和新的社交能力特征的发展。鉴于这些考虑，可以重新审查居住模式，以便根据地区级别的“服务”重组自给自足的社区，从而从本质上重新考虑分区和功能分离等概念。作为房地产市场动态基础的公民拥有一定平方米的购买力之类的要素，如果仅留在自我调节的社会功能中，似乎是不足的，并强调了重要性公共当局的监管和调解方法。在规划方面，空间规划解决方案应结合质量要求和对社会需求的相关响应。私人空间和公共空间之间的过渡往往过于突然。如果计划将更多注意力放在公共空间和私人空间之间的过渡程度和过渡空间（重新规划服务和基础设施），居民将能够享受更高质量的“共同生活”。如果要实现这一目标，则公共当局需要处理这个问题以及市场。
