In this way, we argue that accessibility is a proxy for various characteristics associated with social interaction and that environments with greater accessibility promote greater social interaction, leading to higher contagion rates for some contagious diseases like COVID-19. Three criteria have been proposed to evaluate availability: Diversity, proximity, and connectivity. The three criteria were analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS). One of the multi-criteria analyses, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), was used to establish the defensible space zones according to the accessibility criteria. Results were verified by comparing them to cases of covid-19 in the Bukit Bintang area. The zones that reported the most Covid incidences were found to cross over non-defensive (easy to access) zones. Because of this, we can conclude that easier access contributed to the rise in reported cases of COVID.</p> ER -
