- Abstract
In the past decades, the frequency of pandemics of global importance has increased significantly and has created significant threats to the health of humans and societies. The COVID-19 virus is an infectious disease with high transmissibility, spreading quickly. In the last two decades, cities have accommodated most of the world's inhabitants. The high concentration of people and activities in cities makes them vulnerable to various stressors, such as natural and manufactured disasters. In the recent pandemic, the cities are where the transmission started. Therefore, studying this virus's epidemiology in the urban context should not be ignored. A growing literature shows that residential living conditions, socioeconomic characteristics, and neighborhood conditions significantly affect pandemics. Thus, this research aims to investigate the impact of socio-economic and environmental indicators on the rate of infection with the disease of COVID-19 in the neighborhoods of Urmia city. This is the first research in the country in terms of the integrated investigation of the indicators and the scope of the study at the neighborhood level. This research used Moran's analysis and hot spots to determine the infected dispersion or concentration (cluster) and the high-risk and low-risk clustered areas. In order to analyze and determine the direction and intensity of the relationship between the variables, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression were exerted. The results show that the number of employees, population density, number of older people, building density, commercial density, and road density have a significant relationship with the rate of infection with COVID-19. Clarifying the relationship between the level of the pandemic and the research variables will help urban planners, in the face of future pandemics, prevent the damage of the pandemic to some extent by making strategic decisions based on the research results.
