“…Overall, both methods provide richer data on daily mobility allowing to increase specificity in exposure assessment while allowing to document part of the 'why' and 'with whom' that can help 'contextualise context' and improve our understanding of mechanisms linking places to health. [23,42].…”

“…Not fully accounting for the local food environment may have resulted in biased estimates. Fourth, exposure measures derived by using an adaptive bandwidth do not account for possible individualized spatial mobility potential (e.g., having access to a car) (61). Investigating individuals' movements across space and time and considering their perceptions of the food environment (62)-for example, by using ecological momentary assessments (63)-would help refine exposure assessment.…”

Studies that explore associations between the local food environment and diet routinely use global regression models, which assume that relationships are invariant across space, yet such stationarity assumptions have been little tested. We used global and geographically weighted regression models to explore associations between the residential food environment and fruit and vegetable intake. Analyses were performed in 4 boroughs of London, United Kingdom, using data collected between April 2012 and July 2012 from 969 adults in the Olympic Regeneration in East London Study. Exposures were assessed both as absolute densities of healthy and unhealthy outlets, taken separately, and as a relative measure (proportion of total outlets classified as healthy). Overall, local models performed better than global models (lower Akaike information criterion). Locally estimated coefficients varied across space, regardless of the type of exposure measure, although changes of sign were observed only when absolute measures were used. Despite findings from global models showing significant associations between the relative measure and fruit and vegetable intake (β = 0.022; P < 0.01) only, geographically weighted regression models using absolute measures outperformed models using relative measures. This study suggests that greater attention should be given to nonstationary relationships between the food environment and diet. It further challenges the idea that a single measure of exposure, whether relative or absolute, can reflect the many ways the food environment may shape health behaviors. absolute exposure; fruit and vegetable intake; geographically weighted regression; local food environment; nonstationarity; relative exposure Abbreviations: AICc, corrected Akaike information criterion; GWR, geographically weighted regression; ORiEL, Olympic Regeneration in East London.Over the last decade, an extensive body of research has investigated how the local food environment may be related to dietary behaviors (1). A large majority of studies have used global regression to model the association between exposure to either healthy or unhealthy food environments and diet-related outcomes (2, 3). However, reviews have highlighted the lack of consistency in findings (2, 3), with associations for the same type of relationship being positive (4-10), negative (11), or nonexistent (12-18).By using global regression models, researchers have implicitly relied on the assumption of a stationary relationship; that is, parameter estimates describe what is assumed to be an invariant relationship across space. However, public health researchers have begun to challenge the stationarity assumption. Using spatial regression modeling, such as geographically weighted regression (GWR), a technique that allows for spatial variations in parameter estimates (19,20), investigators have highlighted variations in associations across space between a range of environmental exposures and outcomes such as diet (21), obesity (22-27), active transportation (28), and bi...

“…In geography, the approach contributed to integrating explanatory aims with a normative approach (Olson & Sayer, ), transport geography (Ryan et al ., ), geography education (Lambert et al ., ) and issues of international development (Deneulin, ) and wellbeing (Fleuret & Atkinson, ). Especially in gendered mobility studies, a number of scholars (Shin, ; Nordbakke & Schwanen, ; Shareck, ; Shareck et al ., ) have focused on the freedom of mobility (i.e., the extent to which people are actually able to travel and how) (Shin H, : 2356). Being mobile is valuable in and of itself (Robeyns, ), but if mobility is rather forced like many cases of transnational gendered migration (Shipper, ), the spatial capability can be considered constrained.…”

This paper revisits the debate on marriage migration by highlighting the role of governing power and individual response in the process of migration decision‐making and post‐settlement of Vietnamese marriage migrant activist women in South Korea. It contributes to current marriage migration debates by employing the lens of ‘governmobility’ and ‘spatial capability’. The research looks at how female migrant activists maneuver coercion, resistance, and activism, both governed by nation‐state politics, but also actively deciding their fate amidst pressures of the global marriage market. Based on in‐depth interviews with 21 Vietnamese marriage migrant women who have worked in mentoring, counselling and translating for other Vietnamese migrants, our findings demonstrate that marriage migrants are positioned in between two nation‐states whose perspectival focus is on relieving the tensions of their own domestic job and marital markets. At the same time, these women have broken free from the inertia of socio‐familial status quo and state intervention to become self‐governing agents of mobility in various stages of their migration and adaptation. Fueled on by their position as activists, the marriage migrants then expand their spatial capability to place‐making—shifting the notion of freedom from simply taking part in mobility to reshaping their locale.
