“…The results showed that the Omicron outbreak significantly influenced the community group effect and indicated that it increased the threats to household food security and the respondents' risk perception. These results are consistent with the findings of Liang et al, who found that most households purchased food with assistance from community-based grassroots organizations during the lockdown [58]. This is due to the fact that the outbreak of the mutated virus made it difficult for residents to obtain information about food availability, and more information could be obtained by joining community groups.…”

Online food community purchases contributed to urban residents’ food security during the COVID-19 pandemic in Shanghai. The influence of the outbreak on the purchasing behavior of an online food community was examined. An innovative e-commerce model describes how the online community purchases facilitate integration of local food and agri-product resources, and provide consumers, especially residents of densely populated agglomerations, with convenient short-distance distribution. The survey data collected from 1168 residents show that the lockdown severity and food security concerns increased the frequency of residents’ online food purchases. Heterogeneity analysis indicated that the Omicron outbreak effected the online food purchases of those born before the 1990s, males, the less educated, and low-income earners through a community group effect. The internet provides a convenient means of disseminating information, promoting access to local foods, and assuring food access during public health emergencies. Purchasing food online can be further enhanced through standardized management of online communities.

“…Although the produce was only a short distance away from households, there were insufficient community workers to organise and distribute it. Each community was directed by the municipality to form a team of volunteers and neighbourhood committee employees to receive and distribute produce to households ( Li et al, 2022 ; Liang and Zhong, 2023 ). As communities and residential complexes are managed privately, property management companies helped facilitate group food orders (group buying) and the food delivery process.…”

“…The intention of individuals to actually store household emergency supplies is closely related to external contextual factors such as community environment and community strength. Community can be interpreted from the perspectives of geographical space and government administration ( Liang and Zhong, 2022 ). Community is not only a spatial unit composed of a large number of residential complexes, but also one of the important participants in grassroots governance.…”

IntroductionIn the context of COVID-19 epidemic, household-level emergency supplies are becoming a critical link in the national emergency response mechanism for public health emergencies. The main goal of this study is to analyze the forming process of household emergency supplies storage intention and behavior based on the theory of planned behavior.MethodsA total of 486 valid questionnaires were obtained from China and analyzed using structural equation modeling.ResultsThe study found that subjective norms and perceived behavioral control had a positive impact on residents’ intention to store emergency supplies, while attitudes did not play a significant role. Community institutional trust and community network play significant moderating roles in the transformation from intentions to behaviors.DiscussionThis study explored the influencing factors of residents’ household emergency supplies storage, and introduced community institutional trust and community network as moderating variables to analyze the process of transformation of residents’ household emergency supplies storage intentions to behaviors from the perspective of community situation, and initially constructed a two-stage integration model including intention formation and behavior transformation. By analyzing the forming process of household emergency supplies behavior, this paper revealed the effective paths for the formation of household emergency supplies storage intention, and put forward policy suggestions from the government and community levels.
