| Abstract | Natural disasters, contagious diseases and political conflicts might become emergencies which, to some extent, trigger abnormal form of traffic and logistics at the level of municipal cities as well as managerial control at the level of communities. In such context, level-of-service or cost-benefit-analysis are not considered as appropriate approaches for measuring governance performance of related cities and communities. At the level of a municipal city, Shanghai (China) takes action considering the fact that it is a well-connected Chinese city comprising many transportation modes domestically and internationally. Stopping the further spread of the disease out of Wuhan City, by banning infected people from leaving Wuhan became a top priority on 23 January, 2020. Ever since then, Shanghai is taking actions step by step to avoid a secondary outbreak of COVID-19 in the city after the primary outbreak in Wuhan City. One of the actions is to control at the community level integrating manual measures together with advanced information technology applications. At the community level, in this paper, some raw data of a residential community in a relatively suburban district in Shanghai is collected. As a goal of this paper, managerial measures are identified as effective. It does not necessarily mean that we hope these measures would have to be used elsewhere in the world. However, identifying and demonstrating the know-how on impact of public health interventions in specific cases has its merit, especially as the COVID-19 case turned out to be a global pandemic. After investigating the data, several insights regarding behaviors of human beings and patterns of demographics are provided. |
