Challenges Facing the Delivery City Phenomenon after the COVID-19 Pandemic

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1-     The subject is new for me, however in the abstract I could not understand the research problem, the novelty, and the method by which you want to solve the problem.

2-     I suggest using a qualitative method like Grounded Theory in your methodology.

3-     Use more recent papers in the literature review.

4-     The results section needs to be revised. Currently, the format is not similar to a scientific paper.

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear Author,

the proposed topic. in particular the impact of COVID19 pandemic into the mobility,  is undoubtely interesting.

But, at the same time, I feel the need to highlight how some improvements are required. In particular, even if  the research work is well explained in terms of micro and macro data collection, the methodology section should  explain in detail the tools you have used to achieve the target informations. An annex at the end of the paper should be interesting to show to the readers the questions submitted to the selected respondents.

About the purpose of the paper, the link between the information acquired and the possibility for it to be used as a tool for urban planning, is not shown.

In conclusion, I think that once clarified the above mentioned aspects, the work can be accepted.

Warmest regards
