Background and Aim: Biological threats have had significant effects on human civilizations for centuries. A study on Covid 19 shows that the virus is as cosmopolitan as cholera. Quid 19 has had social and economic effects on a global and local scale. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the indicators affecting the reduction of vulnerability to the prevalence of Quid 19 in the border villages of Zabol City.
Methodology: The main research method will be a combination of descriptive-analytical methods based on library, documentary and field studies using articles and questionnaires. The statistical population of this study is households living in border villages of Sistan. The method of data analysis is the use of statistical tests and correlation tests.
Results: Based on the results, it was found that the indicators of employment (β = 0.165, P = 0.019), government measures (β = 0.149, P = 0.017), and cooperation and coordination (119/11) Β = 0, P = 0.027) has the most positive and significant effect on the severity of vulnerability to the prevalence of Covid 19 and income and investment indicators (β = -0.167, P = 0.014), health - Β therapy (β = -0.139, P = 0.031) and social network (β = -0.123, P = 0.047) have the most negative effect on the severity of vulnerability to the prevalence of Covid 19 in this regard.
Conclusion: It can be inferred that the higher the level of health care services, the lower the severity and severity of the vulnerability.
Extended Abstract
Introduction
Karimzadeh et al (2019) investigated how rural communities perceived the spread of COVID-19 in Varzeghan city's central part. They found that reducing unnecessary social interactions in rural areas was crucial to controlling the virus's spread, and the virus had negative consequences such as affecting farmers' activities, savings, rural tourism, and overall prosperity as well as social capital. Similarly, Rabiei and Tak Rosta (2021) investigated the impact of COVID-19 on Ashkur Alia village's economy in Iran and concluded that the pandemic had significant economic effects in the region. The impact of COVID-19 on the economy of Ashkur Alia village has been significant. In this study, it is recognized that due to the weak social and economic structure of the villages under examination, inadequate preparedness for the disease will have negative effects on their economic and social well-being. To decrease the vulnerability of COVID-19 transmission, local communities typically practice home quarantine, utilize alternative methods of communication such as virtual buying and selling, and prioritize personal hygiene in line with macro-level management strategies. Therefore, the purpose of this current study is to investigate economic and social factors that can reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the border villages of Zabol city.
Methodology
The primary objective of this research is to develop a descriptive-analytical understanding. Data for the study was collected through both library research and questionnaire responses to address relevant research questions. The collected data was analyzed using various statistical methods, including one-sample T-test, Spearman's correlation test, and linear regression analysis.
Results and discussion
When analyzing the economic dimension of income, investment, and employment indicators, along with social network, social behaviour, and healthcare indicators in the
social dimension, there was a statistically significant negative value at a confidence level of p≥0.01. The negative t statistic indicates that the average of these indicators is significantly lower than the average level and is therefore below the normal situation. Regarding the social dimension, the statistical value for communication, education, cooperation and coordination indicators was obtained at a significance level of p < 0.05. This indicates that these indicators are not significantly different from the average impact evaluation and are almost at the average level.
Conclusion
he findings indicate that employment, government measures, and cooperation and coordination indicators had a significant positive impact on reducing the severity of vulnerability to COVID-19 in the border villages of Zabol City. This suggests that the nature of one's profession and the associated level of risk contribute significantly to vulnerability, along with the degree of government assistance. Considering the relatively disadvantaged status of Zabol city's border villages, government policies and attention - or lack thereof - have a direct and significant impact on the extent of vulnerability reduction or increase. Regarding vulnerability, factors such as income and investment, social networks, and healthcare services have a negative impact and relationships. This suggests that the higher the levels of these indicators are, the lower the vulnerability to COVID-19 in the studied areas. Similar to the issue of vulnerability, the effects and relationships regarding the infection rate were alike. However, in this domain, the education indicator had a negative impact and relationship with the number of patients in the border villages. This means that higher levels of education and awareness among villagers had a significant effect on reducing the number of individuals infected with COVID-19.
