Recognizing the effects of the pandemic is crucial to understand changes and mitigate negative impacts. Spatial data on human activity, including mobile phone data, has the potential to provide movement patterns and identify regularly visited locations. Moreover, crowdsourced geospatial information can explain and characterize the regularly visited locations. The analysis of both mobility and routine locations in the same study has seldom been carried out using mobile phone data and linked to the effects of the pandemic. Therefore, in this article we study human mobility patterns within Portugal, using mobile phone and crowdsourced data to compare the population\u2019s mobility and routine locations after the pandemic\u2019s peak. We use clustering algorithms to identify citizens\u2019 stops and routine locations, at an antenna level, during the following months after the pandemic\u2019s first wave and the same period of the following year. Results based on two mobile phone datasets showed a significant difference in mobility in the two periods. Nevertheless, routine locations slightly differ.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12080308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T01:48:50Z","timestamp":1690768130000},"page":"308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sensing Mobility and Routine Locations through Mobile Phone and Crowdsourced Data: Analyzing Travel and Behavior during COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2386-1172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cl\u00e1udia","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Informatics and Systems (CISUC), University of Coimbra, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5925-8442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Veloso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Informatics and Systems (CISUC), University of Coimbra, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gest\u00e3o de Oliveira do Hospital (ESTGOH), Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3030-199 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3692-338X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Informatics and Systems (CISUC), University of Coimbra, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Coimbra (ISEC), Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3030-199 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3285-6500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Bento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Informatics and Systems (CISUC), University of Coimbra, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, December 12).
