Abstract

This study attempted to understand the usage behavior of urban parks before and after COVID-19 by using big data analysis techniques. Summarizing the results of the study, it can be seen that the physical factor of accessibility has a great influence on COVID-19 and park use behavior. Next, park use behavior before COVID-19 showed various behaviors, but after COVID-19, the type of behavior decreased and negative psychological expressions such as stress and depression caused by restrictions on park use appeared, indicating that park use restrictions have a great influence on citizens' leisure activities. In addition, in 2021, there is no behavior that involves active activities as before COVID-19, but new usage behaviors that can use the park by improving the constrained environment such as driving and car camping appear, and more and more active activities appear. The study is meaningful to find out what behavioral changes are occurring for citizens who used the park without any restrictions before COVID-19, and how the park is used for restrictions to alleviate the spread of COVID-19 infections, such as social distancing.If qualitative research is conducted by conducting in-depth interviews with park users in the future, it will help them in-depth explore what meaning parks have for urban residents and what needs parks in the prolonged COVID-19 era.
