“…This fact is influenced by the continued imbalance in the development of connecting infrastructures that serve as means of supporting the smooth distribution of food between the regions of west-central Indonesia and eastern Indonesia. Infrastructure has a strategic role in the equitable distribution of food because good infrastructure can increase people's access to affordable and also the adequate community food (Hu et al, 2020). Sources of food that are affordable and easily accessible, easily created, stabilizing food security for the community (Srinita, 2018).…”

“…Promotion of the value of sociocultural equality in access to quality food for the highest number is hindered by differences in diet and consumer culture (Fourat et al, 2020). The dynamics of food accessibility and the contribution of local factors vary significantly from time to time (Hu et al, 2020). Besides the impacts of climate change and degradation of natural resources (Mulwa and Visser, 2020), poverty are some of the main threats to food security for rural households in developing countries (Miyinzi et al, 2019).…”

<span>Potential</span><span lang="EN-US"> food resources can be utilized through food diversification as a part of the government's efforts to minimize socio-economic inequality with sustainable food security development program. The purpose of this study was to observe the role of food diversification in reducing social inequality through sustainable food security development. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods with secondary data collection techniques which include data references as well as documentation related to food security development. The results showed that in Indonesia, food diversification program has an impact on increasing income, household resilience and welfare with a decrease in the number of the rural poor population of 4.7% (from 16.31 people to 15.54 people). It was positively correlated with the increase in farmers' income by (IDR) 30.37 million per capita increase (4.47%). Then, followed by the level of food security in the district area reached 80.53% (335 regions) and for urban areas amounted to 92.85% (91 regions). National food security can be achieved through maximizing the potential use of food resources at the regional level, by diversifying food based on local wisdom and optimally local resources. It can be concluded that food diversification is a policy that can be used by the government to increase community economic income and reduce poverty and social inequality.</span>

“…Many studies have indicated that healthy (nutritional) food and a healthy diet can effectively prevent obesity and chronic diseases [ 35 ]. Interestingly, unlike in Korea (11.0%) or Japan (4.3%), nutritional value is one of the top three food values in China (13.8%), as shown in Table 4 .…”

How Do Consumers’ Food Values across Countries Lead to Changes in the Strategy of Food Supply-Chain Management?

Although one of the main goals of supply-chain management is to maximize consumer values, the research to date has mainly focused on the supply side. In the case of the food industry, understanding consumer needs and maximizing its utility are essential. In this study, we analyze consumers’ 12 meta-values (e.g., safety, taste, health, price, environment, etc.), then suggest the strategy of food cold-chain management satisfying consumers’ perception. We focused on consumers from three countries in Asia: Korea, China, and Japan. The survey was conducted with over 1000 consumers in those three countries, and a random parameter logit model was utilized to determine the importance of each food value that could affect consumers’ food choice. Similarities and differences were both found in share of preference of each food value across countries. While safety is one of the top three values in all three countries, naturalness and nutritional value ranked among the top three only in China. To propose the consumer-centric strategy of food cold-chain management, we investigated the relationship between each food value and each node of supply chain based on the big data analysis. It shows that consumers prefer when the entire supply chain is managed where each node is organically connected with each other instead of individual nodes being managed separately. Further, strategies for food cold-chain management should be developed differently by country, incorporating differences of consumers’ preferences on food value. These results would motivate governments and companies related to food cold chain to reconsider their marketing strategies on the import and export food market.

“…The accessibility of critical services and resources as well as everyday facilities has been researched in a number of contexts. These include access to sports facilities (Billaudeau et al, 2011 ; Higgs et al, 2015 ; Shrestha et al, 2019 ) supporting social and societal participation, access to healthy food (Dai & Wang, 2011 ; Aggarwal et al, 2014 ; Chen, 2019 ; Hu et al, 2020 ) preventing the formation of food deserts and supporting the reduction of obesity, diabetes and other diet-related diseases, and further areas like primary health services (Bauer et al, 2018 ; Ouko et al, 2019 ; Taylor & Pettit, 2020 ), fire stations (Kiran et al, 2020 ; Shahparvari et al, 2020 ), residential care facilities (Cheng et al, 2012 ; Tao et al, 2014 ; Wang et al, 2020 ), among others. Accessibility in most of these areas is characterised by a certain degree of homogeneity of what the associated sites and facilities provide.…”

Geographic and Temporal Access to Basic Banking Services Offered through Post Offices in Wales

Access to ‘universal banking services’ through the post office network has been a goal of the UK governments over the last twenty years. Various policies and mechanisms have been put in place in an attempt to maintain national geographical coverage with access points while increasing the financial viability of the network. One such mechanism is represented by the six official criteria for access to post offices, expressed as a percentage of the UK population living within one mile, three miles, and six miles of a post office. The method for calculating compliance with these access criteria is not published. Nor will any granular results be published, but only an annual statement that the criteria are being met. This article examines geographical and temporal access to post offices in order to understand the territorial coverage of the network and the impact this has on the provision of basic banking services. The area under investigation is Wales, for which we are reviewing the Government’s official access criteria. Through the Post Office Ltd website, we are collecting up-to-date information on the locations and opening hours of post offices in Wales. In addition, a detailed population grid is combined with calculated areas of equidistant geographical access, called isochrones, to determine the number of people who have access to the post office network. The isochrones are based on the Welsh road network and are calculated for different travel modes and thresholds using a powerful routing engine. Our results show that the official access criteria are largely unmet in Wales. In addition, and in contrast to previous studies, we show a rural-urban divide not in terms of spatial access, but in the combination of spatial and temporal access. The results are of both practical and theoretical value and will hopefully inform policy makers.
