The effect of urban-rail station area coverage on city blocks’ epidemic transmission: the case of the rail-supportive city of Beijing, China by Weitao Zhang, Jingwei Li

“…This study examined the effect of RSA coverage on epidemic transmission in rail-supportive city blocks and further revealed the internal mechanism and potential factors behind the surface effect.Methods and resultsA quantitative empirical analysis was conducted using a typical COVID-19 case in Beijing, China, in 2020, and the statistical analysis method of “a mediating model with a moderating effect” was used, resulting in the following multilayered outcomes: (1) The higher the coverage, the lower the risk, overall, which is different from the general empiricism-based judgment. (2) Behind the total effect, RSA coverage does not directly affect epidemic transmission in blocks, as expected because of the focal point effect on epidemic occurrence possibility. …”
