以COVID-19因人群移動而擴散為核心，本研究探討政策的實行與新聞媒體的傳播如何使民眾感到恐懼與憂慮。在移動過程中，情緒對路徑和模式的選擇有密切關聯。由恐懼引起的的一連串防疫措施，不僅改變人們日常的移動模式、形成疫情下新的移動性，更建構出恐懼之地的想像。
本研究以「他者」的概念進行恐懼之地的論述。病毒將人作為載體，藉由人們的移動而傳播。為降低病毒擴散的機會，中央及各縣市政府皆下令人們避免不必要的移動與群聚政策。甚至在確診病例數較少的縣市，由各地方首長為首，建立跨區域移入該縣市的障礙。此障礙設置間接區分了你我的不同。同時也透過新聞媒體作為中介，以增加疫情恐懼感的敘事方式，將大台北地區建構為恐懼之地。恐懼之地的想像不限於事件發生地，也就是居住在大台北地區人們的想法，而是全台灣人民一致共享的認知。隨著疫情趨緩，人們對恐懼之地的想像與認知也隨之消逝。
當談論COVID-19的區域差異時，經常是以客觀的數據資料呈現各縣市的嚴重性差異。而本研究則從他者的概念切入，觀看以大眾媒體為中介，人們主觀的恐懼情緒與移動性，如何形成恐懼之地與安全之所的區域想像之異。

Focusing on the moving diffusion of COVID-19, the study examines how the implementation of policies and dissemination of news media can cause fear and anxiety among people. The decision of direction and mode during movement is significantly influenced by emotion, particularly the sensation of fear. The succession of fear-induced precautions transformed daily movement and produced new mobility in the pandemic setting, but they also built people's mental images of places of fear.

In the study, the concept of “the other” is utilized to discuss place of fear. Humans serve as the primary carriers for the COVID-19 virus, which spreads through their mobility. The federal government, as well as the county and local governments, have issued orders urging citizens to stay away from unnecessary gatherings and movement to decrease the risk of viral spread. Local authorities erected obstacles to cross-regional mobility into their counties, even in counties with fewer instances that had been proven. The boundaries set each other apart. At the same time, the narrative of the pandemic condition raised anxiety and fear through the use of new media. The idea of the place of fear is not just something that residents in the Taipei metro area, where the pandemic broke out, have in mind; rather, it is a belief that all Taiwanese people share. People's imagination and perception of the place of fear vanished as the pandemic abated.

Objective statistics are frequently utilized to demonstrate the severity of the variances among countries and regions while discussing regional differences in COVID-19. On the other hand, the study focuses on how people's movement and subjective dread, which are mediated by media, generate regional differences in the imagination the place of fear and the place of safety.
