本研究采用家庭调查数据和地理信息系统（GIS），探讨了许多食物沙漠话语的核心假设，即社会和经济上处于不利地位的居民在他们附近的食物环境中购物。调查结果表明，生活在密歇根州底特律市下东区的弱势消费者绕过他们的社区食品环境，这是不成比例地由便利店和派对商店组成，在位于城市其他地区和郊区的独立，折扣和区域超市购物。尽管他们的流动受到各种经济和物质限制，但这些趋势仍然存在。这些发现使过去的假设复杂化，即社会和经济上处于不利地位的居民生活在他们社区环境中的食品沙漠商店。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This research employs household survey data and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to explore the core assumption underlying much of the food desert discourse that socially and economically disadvantaged residents shop in their immediate neighborhood food environment. Findings indicate that disadvantaged consumers living on the lower eastside of Detroit, Michigan bypass their neighborhood food environments, which are disproportionately composed of convenience and party stores, to shop at independent, discount and regional supermarkets located in other parts of the city and in the suburbs. These trends hold despite various economic and physical constraints to their mobility. These findings complicate past assumptions that socially and economically disadvantaged residents living in a food desert shop within their neighborhood environment. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
