“…Since healthy and inexpensive foods are usually offered by large-scale retail units (as reported by Andreyeva et al, 2008, or Križan et al, 2015, the analysis presented here is focused on mapping accessibility to supermarkets. Accessibility may be effectively examined by various accessibility measures (Handy and Niemeier, 1997;Vale et al, 2015).…”

Over the last twenty years or so, researchers’ attention to the issue of food deserts has increased in the geographical literature. Accessibility to large-scale retail units is one of the essential and frequently-used indicators leading to the identification and mapping of food deserts. Numerous accessibility measures of various types are available for this purpose. Euclidean distance and street network distance rank among the most frequently-used approaches, although they may lead to slightly different results. The aim of this paper is to compare various approaches to the accessibility to food stores and to assess the differences in the results gained by these methods. Accessibility was measured for residential block centroids, with applications of various accessibility measures in a GIS environment. The results suggest a strong correspondence between Euclidean distance and a little more accurate street network distance approach, applied in the case of the urban environment of Bratislava-Petržalka, Slovakia.

“…On the other hand, the casinos and their complexes change the face and the functional structure of cities, often in terms of the transformation of cities in order to increase their attractiveness (McCarthy, 2002). In urban areas, geographical research has uncovered the spatial distribution of gambling establishments using the concept of availability (see Robitaille and Herjean, 2008;Križan, Bilková, Kita and Horňák, 2015;Russnák et al, 2016;Fiedor, 2016), and the concept of accessibility (see Doran and Young, 2010;Young, Markham and Doran, 2009;Young, Markham and Doran, 2012). Marshall (2005) distinguishes several attributes of availability: geographic, temporal and social.…”

Gambling is a specific type of economic activity that significantly affects many aspects of society. It is associated mainly with negative impacts on the lives of individuals and their families, but it also has a positive economic impact on the public budgets of states, regions and municipalities. In this article, we focus on a geographic assessment of the development of gambling in the Czech Republic, which is based on a spatial analysis of data on licensed games and data on the revenues of municipalities arising from gambling. It turns out that the occurrence of gambling is strongly influenced by binary centre/periphery dichotomy, with the exception of the Czech-Austrian and Czech-German border areas which are characterised by a high concentration of casinos resulting from more rigid regulation of gambling on the other side of the border. In this research, the authors develop an innovative scientific discipline within Czech human geography: The geography of gambling.

Recently, food security becomes a priority for many governments particularly in developing countries. Food security has four dimensions, i.e. availability, accessibility, stability, and utilization. This study examined food accessibility in term of geographic access, i.e. the contribution of the geographic environment to food choices and consumption. The study located in Tanjung Selor Subdistrict, the capital region of Bulungan Regency as well as North Kalimantan Province. Geographic access to food was analysed based on spatial distribution of food stores, settlement, and availability of transportation network. Spatial analysis, i.e. coverage, density, and network analysis, as well as the spatial visualisation were performed using tools available in GIS software. This study revealed some circumstance related to geographical access to food in the study area. Geographical access to food for non-motorized people is limited. Nonmotorized people have to walk more than 1 km to the nearest food store. Access to food for motorised people is somewhat different. Their geographical access, in general, were categorised as easy to moderate. This situation indicates that the availability of public transport or vehicle ownership is necessary to improve access to food.Abstrak. Ketahanan pangan saat ini menjadi prioritas sejumlah pemerintah terutama di negara berkembang. Ketahanan pangan memiliki empat dimensi atau aspek yaitu ketersediaan, aksesibilitas, stabilitas dan pemanfaatan. Penelitian ini mengkaji aksesibilitas terhadap pangan, merupakan wilayah ibukota Kabupaten Bulungan dan sekaligus wilayah ibukota Provinsi tempat penjualan bahan pangan dan lokasi permukiman serta ketersediaan jaringan transportasi. Analisis keruangan yang meliputi cakupan, kepadatan dan analisis jaringan dilakukan dengan bantuan perangkat lunak SIG. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan beberapa hal terkait dengan akses bermotor mempunyai akses yang terbatas. Mereka harus menempuh jarak lebih dari 1 km ke pasar atau toko penjual bahan pangan yang terdekat. Penduduk yang memiliki kendaraan bermotor, secara umum mempunyai akses yang mudah hingga sedang. Kondisi ini menunjukkan bahwa ketersediaan transportasi umum atau kepemilikan kendaraan bermotor sangat diperlukan untuk .Kata kunci:
