Food distribution and supply chain are the main problems to achieve food security in Indonesia. Geographical gaps, poor transportation systems and social differences in Indonesia induce a high complexity challenges to implement a perfect distribution system that can suitable with Indonesia characteristic. The purpose of this research is building a prototype for food distribution application using geographical information system (GIS) that can be implemented in Indonesia. GIS can visualize the entire data layer into a map which is easier to analyze. Indonesia consists of 34 provinces that spread over many island, each has specific geographical profile and transportation problems. This can be used as data layers with other instruments which related with food distribution in Indonesia. Building a food distribution application prototype is part of developing food distribution system which produce prototype of the system. Prototyping approach is being used to evaluate the designing result of GIS with analyzing features for food distribution in Indonesia. Final result for this research is an application that can be implemented into food distribution system that can create a stable food security in Indonesia, for all of the provinces.

Self Sufficiency

Food security in India is unfavourably affected by several biotic and socio-political situations. The current position may get worse in the future if timely and suitable actions are not executed and planned. The discipline of human population and land for cultivation, climate change, government policies of public distribution and marketing of food grains and lack of a participatory approach all are committing to check down the availability of foods. Also, crop fecundity seems to be very much unsustainable. The situation has to be remedied by all possible means and citizens must be assured of food security. This review summarises several strategies for crop production and food distribution through the public distribution system. Finally, results indicate that India has achieved self-sufficiency in grains; it is still lagging at the back in the production of oilseeds and pulses. It is also commented that there has been a meaningful increase in the reproduction of rice, wheat, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and other products. Among the specific charges made to lift the agricultural sector from its present slowdown and stagnation, we comprise decorated increased public investment and a severe review of subsidies provided to farmers. To improve the infrastructure, credit facilities, inputs, land and water management, effective marketing and price policies, the diversification of agriculture, strengthening the improvement strategies for tackling climate change, and the strict regulation of land use and diversion of land for non-agricultural activities.

The Relationship

This study determined the relationship between client choice and client food security status, and how the relationship was affected by household type. Data was obtained from the Voices for Food Project. Among the various goals for that project, was the goal of guiding pantries to transition from a traditional food distribution system to a client-choice system where clients could select the kinds of foods they preferred. The results showed that pantry client choice satisfaction was significantly associated with greater food security status (X2 (1, N = 685) = 8.81, p = .003). There were no differences between household type and choice satisfaction (X2 (1, N = 685) = 0.81, p = .366 However, differences existed between household type and food security status (X2 (1, N = 685) = 22.56, p [less than] .001), the households with children were less likely to be food secure. In predicting food security by client choice satisfaction, being satisfied and being older resulted in significantly higher odds for food security (choice satisfaction OR: 3.20; 95 [percent] CI: 1.54, 7.54, age OR: 1.02; 95 [percent] CI: 1.01, 1.04). Whereas, having children in a household yielded lesser odds for food security (households having children OR: 0.52; 95 [percent] CI: 0.34, 0.81). The sex of householder did not play a role in predicting household food security based on choice satisfaction (sex OR: 1.01; 95 [percent] CI: 0.69,1.49). Provision of client choice in food pantries could improve client food security status and could be added support to governmental food assistance programs targeted at addressing food insecurity in the nation.

This article begins by tracing the development of the Indian model of food distribution. Food subsidies in India are delivered through the public distribution system, consisting of a network of retail outlets through which the government sells grain. The discussions then turn to the outcomes and the performance of the distribution system, food security legislation, the rights approach to food security, debates over food security legislation, lessons from social assistance programs across the world, and political opposition to cash transfers.

The historical growth of cities due to the rapid increase of population led to the increased land price in cities and caused problems to theappropriate distribution system as well as the allocation of suitable spaces to some fundamental services like medical centers. Supplyinghealth for all people in every society is one of the basic human rights which should be regarded by governments. The imbalancein fundamental services such as medical care and its imbalanced distribution system cause major challenges expressing themselvesin different economic and skeletal dimensions. In this study which aimed at determining the factors affecting the location of medicalcenters, first the main variables and indicators affecting the location of such centers were extracted and then ranked using the hierarchicalquestionnaire by some relevant experts. After ranking the obtained indicators using the hierarchical method to examine the medicalcenters at district 1 of Tehran and investigating the balance and proportion of medical centers, the location of medical centersin district 1 were examined using the geographical information system by hierarchical model. The obtained results indicated thatthe northeast and east areas of district 1 in Tehran had faced major challenges in terms of the access to medical centers and a specifiedarea in the geographical information system indicated this challenge in the north and northeast areas. The selected point by geographicalinformation system were the areas in this district.

Flow Study

This article focuses on the usage and advantage of incorporating Geographical Information System for advancing the power distribution system. Geographical Information System-based electricity distribution system planning strategies are applied to determine optimum routing. Existing and proposed layouts have been drawn using GIS-based software Q-GIS 2.12.3. This software helps attach data with the corresponding geographic. A comparison between the Newton-Raphson load flow study of existing and proposed layouts of distribution systems has been performed to find the technical viability of the proposed route. The information obtained from the power flow study is voltage at each load and the real power flowing in each line. The voltages found by the load flow analysis of existing and proposed layouts are compared to show the voltage increase. The developed system is tested on a 12 bus system substation of Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim, India.
