Serial title, monograph or event: | ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information | Volume: | 12 | Issue: | 8 | Abstract: | The COVID-19 pandemic affected many aspects of human mobility and resulted in unprecedented changes in population dynamics, including lifestyle and mobility. Recognizing the effects of the pandemic is crucial to understand changes and mitigate negative impacts. Spatial data on human activity, including mobile phone data, has the potential to provide movement patterns and identify regularly visited locations. Moreover, crowdsourced geospatial information can explain and characterize the regularly visited locations. The analysis of both mobility and routine locations in the same study has seldom been carried out using mobile phone data and linked to the effects of the pandemic. Therefore, in this article we study human mobility patterns within Portugal, using mobile phone and crowdsourced data to compare the population’s mobility and routine locations after the pandemic’s peak. We use clustering algorithms to identify citizens’ stops and routine locations, at an antenna level, during the following months after the pandemic’s first wave and the same period of the following year. Results based on two mobile phone datasets showed a significant difference in mobility in the two periods. Nevertheless, routine locations slightly differ. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/111898 | ISSN: | 2220-9964 | DOI: | 10.3390/ijgi12080308 | Rights: | openAccess |
