摘要

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly transformed daily life and mobility behaviors, thereby creating an urgent need to understand these shifts. This study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of human mobility during the pandemic, with a focus on how these patterns vary across five East Asian countries and regions: Mongolia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (China). By analysing Community Mobility Report and employing advanced analytical methods such as Gradient Boosting Machines and changepoints detection, the research identifies distinct adaptive behaviors in response to the pandemic. The findings reveal variations in the speed and nature of mobility adaptation across categories, such as retail, residential, and transit. While Mongolia exhibited relatively stable mobility patterns, Taiwan (China), Hong Kong, Republic of Korea, and Japan demonstrated notable adaptive responses. Furthermore, the study highlights the socioeconomic implications of mobility changes, providing insights into economic resilience and behavioral adaptation during health crises. These findings offer valuable evidence to inform public health strategies and economic recovery plans.
