Study of new forms of urban displacements during COVID-19 by means of the mobile sig application in the city of Arequipa

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a shift in urban commute patterns in recent years, demonstrating the cities of Latin America's typical lack of resiliency. This study's goal is to examine both motorized and non-motorized types of transportation throughout the pandemic, to comprehend how these new modes of transportation changed. In parallel, an App called CovWay was created to obtain coordinates linked to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using a quantitative method of spatial interpolation. Based on a statistical reclassification, the presented results are a map of frequencies by displacement. The sample was subjected to an online survey. There is evidence of a break from routine and a switch to new modes of transportation, which may pave the way for the adoption of a more environmentally friendly transportation paradigm.
