This longitudinal study addresses these gaps in the literature by employing the natural experimental research design to investigate the relationship between compact development and the degree of adherence to shelter-in-place order; measured in terms of reduction in travel to three major destinations in 771 U.S. metropolitan counties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The outcome variables representing daily changes in people's travel to three different destinations are based on the data from COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports (CMR); a publicly available resource published by Google to help public health officials better understand the mobility changes as the result of shelter-in-place and other social distancing policies (Aktay, Bavadekar, Cossoul, Davis, Desfontaines, Fabrikant, & Kamath, 2020) . ./cache/cord-269077-gz7jxidl.txt ./txt/cord-269077-gz7jxidl.txt
