Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak could have a negative impact on population change within cities. The impact will be greater in the centers of cities, in particular, given that they present greater chances of person-to-person contact. Consequently, population distribution will also change within the cities. Therefore, this paper, using population data in mesh-based regions divided by a certain width of latitude and longitude, analyzes the effect of COVID-19 on the population distribution within cities. The analysis is based on a fixed effect model using panel data. The analysis showed that COVID-19 had a negative impact on the change of population in meshed-based regions, and that the impact decreased with increasing distance from the centers of cities.
