Abstract

Health pandemics are one of the greatest threats to human life. The more spacious and interdependent the city becomes, the faster the spread of epidemics is unless the State takes public health measures. Green places and public places contribute to improving the health of the population during the pandemics. Therefore, Poland has banned cars in parks to help people to get out and walk of their homes during the quarantine. However, as spatial spacing measures continue, cities may allocate more public places to, people only to practice their various activities.
This paper aims to observe ideas introduced about how to change our relationship with public places, through a review some proposals by multiple parties concerned with the issue of urbanization under the Corona pandemic. Such proposals focus on identifying design guides for activities in public places within; the city, Such as providing the places with sanitary facilities that help with the ongoing sterilization process, as well as technical facilities that help monitor the status quo to alert and act accordingly. In addition to the various urban solutions that we will review in the context of the study in terms of achieving the principle of social convergence and spatial divergence.
The study follows the theoretical and analytical approach in monitoring the changes that occurred on urban places as a result of Corona virus, analyzing models for the study that clarified the changes of activities in urban places, and reaching a set of indicators for designing urban places during the pandemic.
