Post COVID-19 pandemic recovery of intracity human mobility in Wuhan: Spatiotemporal characteristic and driving mechanism

•Observing long time series of intracity mobility recovery through Location Based Services (LBS) data.•Using Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) method to extract spatiotemporal recovery characteristics.•Analyzing driving factors of the post-pandemic recovery by multi-covariates and spatial lag model.•“Staggered time” policies applied in Wuhan led to a kind of “staggered peak and staggered area” mobility recovery.
