Stationary Measurement

Even though soil temperature in urban environment influences a range of processes, it has been studied rather sparsely in comparison with surface temperature or air temperature. Our research extends the soil temperature observation in Olomouc (Czechia) and uses semi-stationary measurement to describe detailed spatial variability of soil temperature in the area of a medium-sized Central European city. Differences in soil temperature 20 cm below grass-covered surface may exceed 3°C due to soil type, shadow cast by buildings and grass characteristics, which means that the representativeness of the data on soil temperature from a meteorological station within a city may be limited. Further research and a conceptual approach towards the study of soil temperature in urban landscape is needed.

Aim: This study explores the changes in regular walking activities during the phases of the pandemic. Background: With the spread of COVID-19 transmission, people are refraining from going out, reducing their physical activity. In South Korea, COVID-19 broke out in the 4th week of 2020 and experienced the first cycle phases of the pandemic, such as outbreak, widespread, and decline. In response to the pandemic, the government encouraged voluntary participation in social distancing campaigns, and people reduced their outside activities. Methods: This article examines the decrease and increase of the Prevalence of Regular Walking (≥30 min of moderate walking a day, on ≥5 days a week) by the COVID-19 phases. This study is based on weekly walking data for 15 weeks in 2020, via the smartphone healthcare app, which is managed by 25 public health offices of the Seoul government. Results: According to the findings, the level of prevalence of regular walking (PRW) has a significant difference before and after the outbreak, and every interval of the four-stage COVID-19 phases, that is, pre-pandemic, initiation, acceleration, and deceleration. The level of PRW sharply decreased during initiation and acceleration intervals. In the deceleration interval of COVID-19, the PRW kept increasing, but it has not yet reached the same level as the previous year when the COVID-19 did not exist. Conclusions: As a preliminary study, this study explains empirically how COVID-19 changed PRW in Seoul. It would be helpful to enhance our understanding of the changes in physical inactivity in the pandemic period.
