Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the spatial characteristics and factors in the occurrence of COVID-19 from January 20 to August 30 of 2020. The exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial econometrics model are used. The spatial unit of analysis is 255 si-gun-gu in Korea. As a result of the analysis, COVID-19 infection did not appear to be a significant factors(host and environment) influencing the emergence of existing new infectious diseases, but there was a relationship between spatially adjacent areas and their occurrence. It also showed a close relationship with the outbreak pattern of group 4 infectious diseases, another type of new infectious disease in Korea. The result of this study shows that COVID-19 is not a new pattern of emerging infectious diseases. It means that the properties of the space where new infectious diseases appear must be continuously managed in order to effectively control new infectious diseases.
