Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper draws on the result of surveys completed by 323 households and a qualitative study of 21 households from upper (n = 7), middle (n = 7) and lower income (n = 7) households in Indonesia. This article employs practice theory to better understand the role of planning and infrastructure in food provisioning and food wasting practices. Results from this study indicate that there is a positive and statistically significant association between the self-reported amount of household food waste and income (X 2 = 27.30, p < 0.001). The study also found a statistically significant association between amount of food waste generated and certain types of retail (p < 0.000), with 75.9% of respondents who self-reported that they waste a ‘significant amount’ of food, shopping at supermarkets. In the Indonesian context, it is important to note that the choice or ability to access certain types of retail is income-related. Accordingly, food waste reduction interventions should consider the role of retail and income.

浪费空间:收入和零售选择对印度尼西亚家庭食品消费和食品浪费的影响

摘要本文引用了323户家庭的调查结果，并对21户家庭进行了定性研究 = 7），中间（n = 7）和较低收入（n = 7）印度尼西亚的家庭。本文运用实践理论来更好地理解规划和基础设施在粮食供应和粮食浪费实践中的作用。这项研究的结果表明，家庭食物浪费的自我报告量与收入之间存在着积极且统计学上显著的相关性（X2 = 27.30，p < 0.001）。研究还发现，食物垃圾产生量与某些类型的零售之间存在统计学上显著的相关性（p < 0.000），75.9%的受访者自我报告他们在超市购物时浪费了“大量”食物。在印度尼西亚的背景下，重要的是要注意，获得某些类型零售的选择或能力与收入有关。因此，减少食物浪费的干预措施应考虑零售和收入的作用。

期刊介绍： Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
