Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic is considered a focal point in many ways and to fight the disease many countries adopted preventive instructions and forced procedures, this research will measure from the users’ perspective whether the applied restrictions on transportation and mobility that had been used during COVID 19 epidemic were efficient and worked effectively to prevent the spread of the disease, a questionnaire with the necessary tools was implemented to make a comparison between two capitals: Budapest_Hungary and Amman_Jordan. The major descriptive and analysis plan concentrated on the frequency of usage of each transport mode and outdoor activities as a matrix question before and during the epidemic with multiple-choice simultaneously in a grid format. The results were analyzed by utilizing SPSS and AMOS to reach the final model. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted to identify and explain the relationship between variables. After computing the measurement, the results showed that the best fit structural models for Amman and Budapest were improved significantly by utilizing the hypotheses together.
