The previous literature in relation to the ongoing pandemic has revealed that COVID-19 may have a negative impact on social mobility and interactions within public urban spaces. While the present study has substantiated that there was no significant difference between people's use of urban spaces before and after the onset of COVID-19. Meanwhile, after the call off of the lockdown, people have shown a very strong desire for social interactions in sociable locations. This fact has revealed the novelty of present study. However, the pedestrians' propensity for commercial spaces has mitigated in comparison with the pre-COVID-19 periods; which is in line with previous studies.

与持续流行有关的先前文献表明，COVID-19 可能对城市公共空间内的社会流动性和互动产生负面影响。虽然本研究已经证实，在 COVID-19 爆发前后人们对城市空间的使用没有显着差异。同时，在取消封锁后，人们表现出对在社交场所进行社交互动的强烈渴望。这一事实揭示了本研究的新颖性。但是，与 COVID-19 之前的时期相比，行人对商业空间的偏好有所减轻；这与之前的研究一致。
