Abstract

During the lockdown of COVID-19, there was a lack of community support for residents. The 24-h convenience stores thus played an essential role as the commercial facility in ensuring the smooth running of community life. This study investigated the impact of the 24-h convenience stores on communities with reference to theories of place attachment. It also discussed the factors determining the effectiveness of the support given by convenience stores during the lockdown period, especially the spatial design factors, and how these factors facilitate the design of a resilience community. A comparative study was carried out based on empirical evidence of the convenience stores in the central city of Nanjing, China. Data were collected and analyzed through a longitudinal survey of the community residents affected by the epidemic (2019 before the outbreak and 2022 after the normalization of the epidemic). The findings highlighted the significance of the community support system represented by the 24-h convenience stores during the lockdown and showed the variability and possibilities of the convenience stores in different communities. Suggestions are provided in the end to improve community resilience and community attachment by redesigning convenience stores.
