Abstract: Mixing patterns are central determinants of the transmission of many infections. In fact, surveys like the POLYMOD research [1-3] are used to estimate contact matrices. We present an alternative technique in this paper, which entails modeling population interactions in diverse places of activity while considering the socio-cultural and demographic characteristics of the community under investigation. The findings show that the proposed method allows for the precise calculation of community-specific contact matrices, which can then be utilized to develop reliable epidemiological models.
