THE FOOD DESERT CAUSED BY THE ECONOMIC DIFFICULTY OF ACCESS

This study investigated the food desert in central Tokyo by economic disparity. We took questionnaire surveys asking about actual market place for fresh food and dietary variety. As a result, one-third of low-income households who live in neighborhoods with only luxury supermarkets nearby used farther away supermarkets. Thus, they had difficulties accessing to affordable food. In addition, elderly had a 1.76 times higher nutritional risk than the other participants. Multiple regression analysis showed that the cause was not only social networks and personal habits, but also inconvenient shopping circumstances.
