本文刷新了围绕城市食物沙漠的争论，并为传统市场的社会价值提供了证据基础。它借鉴了一个更广泛的项目，汇集了市场部门和政策制定者，以开发新的证据，工具和见解，以了解和提高传统零售市场的社区价值。社区价值观的一个重要部分是提供方便、优质、健康和负担得起的新鲜食物。使用泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔的格兰杰市场的案例研究，包括大规模的采访者管理的市场用户的调查，辅以焦点小组的见解和与主要利益相关者的访谈，我们的目标是确定和了解市场的作用作为一个核心的食品和饮料购物目的地。借鉴外部指标的邻里类型，杂货零售的可及性和存在的特点与食品沙漠，我们证明了传统的零售市场的重要性，如格兰杰作为杂货零售供应方的一部分，特别是在更脆弱的消费者，包括老年人和那些生活在相对较贫困的社区。为此，我们利用来自消费者调查数据的消费者与零售供应方互动的措施，所有数据可供研究界更广泛地重复使用。虽然我们提出的政策建议相关的纽卡斯尔的案例研究，我们的目标是这项工作-并提供相关的数据-激发政策制定者，学者和零售业本身的重要作用，传统的零售市场在食品和饮料供应更大的认可。
This paper refreshes the debate around urban food deserts and improves the evidence base for the social value of traditional markets. It draws upon a wider project that brings together the markets sector and policy makers to develop new evidence, tools and insights to understand and enhance the community value of traditional retail markets. One important part of that community value is the provision of accessible, good quality, healthy and affordable fresh food. Using a case study of Newcastle-upon-Tyne’s Grainger Market comprising a large-scale interviewer-administered survey of market users, supplemented with insights from focus groups and interviews with key stakeholders, we aim to identify and understand the role of the market as a core food and drink shopping destination. Drawing on external indicators of neighbourhood type, grocery retail accessibility and the presence of characteristics associated with food deserts, we demonstrate the importance of traditional retail markets, such as Grainger as part of the grocery retail supply side, especially among more vulnerable consumers including the elderly and those living in relatively more deprived neighbourhoods. To do so we utilise measures of consumer interactions with the retail supply side as derived from the consumer survey data, with all data available for wider-reuse by the research community. Whilst we make policy recommendations relevant to the Newcastle case study, our objective is for this work – and the provision of associated data – to spark greater recognition among policy makers, academics and the retail sector itself of the important role of traditional retail markets in food and drink provision.
