Abstract

This qualitative cross-country comparative study investigated the lived experience of marginalised urban populations (unemployed, daily wage earners/street vendors, and internal/external migrants) in Manila (Philippines) and Bangkok (Thailand) on food environments, food security and diets during COVID-19. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals (n = 59) in April–May 2022. Thematic analysis revealed loss of income and strict mobility restrictions (Philippines) as key drivers of dietary changes and hunger. Common narratives included financial hardship, loss of personal agency, and daily survival. Coping strategies included drawing on social networks, cash and food aid, and ‘scheming’ around restrictions. Contextualised crisis policy planning should explicitly consider the lived experience of marginalised populations for future shocks.

我们有什么就吃什么"：菲律宾和泰国的城市边缘人群如何通过 COVID-19 体验他们的食品环境、食品安全和饮食习惯

这项定性跨国比较研究调查了马尼拉（菲律宾）和曼谷（泰国）的城市边缘人群（失业者、日薪工/街头小贩、国内/国外移民）在 COVID-19 期间在食品环境、食品安全和饮食方面的生活经历。2022 年 4 月至 5 月，对个人（n = 59）进行了半结构式访谈。专题分析表明，失去收入和严格的流动限制（菲律宾）是导致饮食变化和饥饿的主要原因。常见的叙述包括经济困难、个人能力丧失和日常生存。应对策略包括利用社会网络、现金和粮食援助，以及 "算计 "各种限制。因地制宜的危机政策规划应明确考虑边缘化人群的生活经历，以应对未来的冲击。
