- 요약The COVID-19 pandemic sparked a significant shift in how we work and shop, resulting in wide adoption of remote work and e-commerce. These changes led us to rethink various aspects of our lives, including our living environments, work practices, consumption patterns, and time allocation patterns, among others. The pandemic thus provides a unique opportunity to examine research questions surrounding the adaptability of human behavior and the potential for lasting change in the aftermath of such a global crisis.The primary aim of this dissertation is to gauge the impact of pandemic-induced flexibility on activity patterns, spatial habits, and schedule habits, exploring whether the changes observed during the COVID-19 pandemic represent permanent shifts or only temporary adjustments. I do this through:• Collecting a comprehensive, longitudinal national dataset tracking the multifaceted impacts of the pandemic on human behavior, attitudes, and beliefs, using a mix of passive and active data collection methods.• Proposing a new metric that captures individual schedule regularity over time, while accounting for specific day-of-week characteristics.• Developing an analytical framework that recognizes the multifaceted nature of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated relaxation of spatio-temporal activity constraints on travel behavior, and distinguishes the nature of such impacts across activity patterns, spatial habits, and schedule habits.• Evaluating the impact of telecommuting, as a key characteristic of the lifestyle changes ushered by the COVID-19 pandemic, on time-use and the diversity of locations visited.Methodological ContributionsHuman mobility has been repeatedly shown to be regular and predictable, as a result of both internal (e.g. circadian rhythms, psychological traits, sociodemographic characteristics, etc.) and external constraints (e.g. commuting requirements, social responsibilities, etc.). Such regularity has been shown to have significant impacts, such as increased social contact rates and playing a significant role in disease spreading. The relaxation of spatio-temporal constraints around key activities during the COVID-19 pandemic indicates a potential reshaping of such regularity and predictability. For example, as employees enjoy more autonomy on their preferred work environment and their schedules, including when to work and on what days to commute, it is reasonable to hypothesize that they would exhibit more irregular schedules, flexibly adjusting their activities to meet their own needs; running errands during regular business hours when work demands are not intense, and following working routines that might be synchronous with colleagues from different time zones. While intrapersonal variability in travel behavior is extensively researched by transportation researchers, such research has often addressed variability in mode use, trip frequency, distance traveled, or activity time use, leaving a missing gap in understanding schedule variability. Further, such research does not account for day-of-week characteristics, despite such consideration being important since outside societal obligations and constraints are usually tied to specific days of the week. In Chapter 3, I build on the extensive intrapersonal travel variability literature by proposing a new metric that captures the intrapersonal schedule similarity across weeks.This metric measures schedule regularity by computing the cosine similarity between the time allocation vectors of each individual for specific days of the week (i.e. Monday, Tuesday, etc.) across several weeks. In doing so, I control for characteristics of specific days of week, such as outside social constraints common to same day of the week. We use this metric to evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated spatio-temporal activity constraints affected schedule similarity.Empirical ContributionsDatasetTransportation researchers have tried to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted different aspects of travel behavior. However, most of this research is cross-sectional, does not capture non-transportation factors that can influence travel behavior, and uses either active (survey) data or passive data, limiting our collective ability to understand the dynamic and interrelated impacts surrounding the pandemic. In Chapter 2, I present the design and implementation of a study aiming at the collection of data tracking the state of people throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. I, along other collaborators, collected a rich panel dataset combining both active survey data and passive data from U.S. residents between January 2020 and September 2022. The fusing of the longitudinal active and passive data helps overcome the limitations of active or passive data when used individually and limitations posed by cross-sectional dataset and allows important research questions to be answered; for example, to determine the factors underlying the heterogeneous behavioral responses to COVID-19 restrictions imposed by local governments. The passive dataset overcomes provides a continuous stream of human mobility, compared to only location traces associated with cell phone activity, or use of specific applications, financial transactions, or transit services. This dataset complements existing datasets by: 1) combining large scale detailed passively collected. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest).
