The Covid-19 pandemic with all the unrest it has generated has changed people's activities. The pandemic has changed the activities of city residents, limited the space for movement, and created distance with others. The changes are inevitable and have the potential to be permanent even after the pandemic ends.
The Jakarta Property Institute explores these potential changes, especially those related to the use of space. JPI held an online survey and was answered by 408 respondents spread across Jabodetabek and its surroundings. The survey also collected respondents' expectations when the pandemic was over.
As a result, respondents would like to see changes in the choice of locations for working, shopping and exercising when the pandemic ends. How big a difference will the use of space be and what impact will it have on the city?
