摘要

The COVID-19 pandemic and its containment measures have significantly impacted both physical and virtual accessibility, disproportionately affecting disadvantaged populations and exacerbating transport inequities. This study systematically reviews 63 peer-reviewed publications, supplemented by key reports from professional institutes and international organizations, to examine how transport equity was addressed during the pandemic and to identify strategies for improvement. Four key strategies are proposed: developing targeted emergency response plans to ensure access for disadvantaged populations; enhancing support for alternatives to private car travel, such as micromobility, shared mobility, and public transit; reconfiguring land use and promoting mixed-use development to improve accessibility; and advancing an equity-focused digital transformation to address disparities in virtual accessibility. The study suggests future research directions, including cross-regional and longitudinal studies, and integrating subjective and objective measures to better understand the combined effects of physical and virtual accessibility on transport behaviors during the pandemic.
