佛罗里达州坦帕针对粮食不安全的干预措施侧重于增加通过食品储藏室分发的免费食品的供应。茶水间的位置并不总是考虑到进入的障碍。本研究通过对食品储藏室客户进行半结构化访谈所提供的人种学数据，探讨了获得免费食品的障碍。地理信息系统制图可以纳入这类人种学数据，以便更准确地反映粮食无保障家庭在获得免费粮食服务时面临的障碍。地图显示，免费粮食资源的位置在坦帕可能无法反映脆弱性的居民粮食不安全的人口普查区的基础上。
Targeted food insecurity interventions in Tampa, FL have focused on increasing the availability of free food distributed through food pantries. The locations of pantries do not always take into consideration barriers to access. This research explores barriers to free food access through ethnographic data provided by semi-structured interviews with food pantry clients. GIS mapping can incorporate this kind of ethnographic data in order to more accurately represent the barriers that food insecure households face when accessing free food services. Mapping shows that free food resource locations in Tampa may not reflect the vulnerability of residents to food insecurity based on census tract demographics.
