Abstract

This study examines residents’ perceived impact of dark kitchens on community Quality-of-Life. A Community Engagement Theory-based research model is developed, including Gentrification, Local Biopolitics, Disposition and Integrity as antecedents, while perceived Lobbying for/against dark kitchens is used as a moderator. A survey is administered to 1827 US adults via Amazon Mechanical Turk. After controlling for Lobbying, the results indicate that Local Biopolitics, Disposition and Integrity positively related to better perceptions of Quality-of-Life, thus pointing that in large urban areas, dark kitchens may become an important player in meal provision. Furthermore, the findings reveal how trust in dark kitchens and positive Disposition towards them can significantly enhance residents’ perceived community impact, specifically when high levels of Lobbying are perceived too. These findings also suggest that while dark kitchens can enhance community well-being through responsible practices and positive public engagement, the role of Lobbying introduces complexity, potentially undermining trust in these businesses. The study underscores the need for balanced regulation and community involvement to maximize the benefits of dark kitchens in urban settings.

探索黑暗厨房对社区生活质量的影响：当地生物政治、性格、诚信和游说的作用

本研究考察了居民对黑暗厨房对社区生活质量的感知影响。开发了一个基于社区参与理论的研究模型，包括中产阶级化、当地生物政治、性格和诚信作为先决条件，而感知游说支持/反对黑暗厨房被用作调节因素。通过亚马逊土耳其机器人对1827名美国成年人进行了一项调查。在控制游说后，结果表明，当地生物政治、性格和诚信与更好的生活质量感知呈正相关，从而指出在大城市地区，黑暗厨房可能成为膳食供应的重要参与者。此外，研究结果揭示了对黑暗厨房的信任和对他们的积极态度如何显著提高居民对社区影响的感知，特别是当他们也感知到高水平的游说时。这些发现还表明，虽然黑暗厨房可以通过负责任的做法和积极的公众参与来提高社区福祉，但游说的作用引入了复杂性，可能会破坏对这些企业的信任。该研究强调了平衡监管和社区参与的必要性，以最大限度地发挥城市环境中黑暗厨房的好处。
