Household Crowding

For developing countries, garbage classification has become an important measure to handle the environmental pollution crisis. This empirical study examined urban and rural families’ willingness to sort and deposit garbage at fixed recycling points. We found that urban residents demonstrated a significantly higher willingness to sort and deposit garbage at designated points compared to rural residents. The average number of family meals per month, average monthly household food expenditure, household cleanliness, and household crowding (spaciousness) are significantly related to a family’s willingness to sort garbage. In terms of neighbourhood factors, families living in neighbourhoods with property management are more likely to have a higher willingness to sort garbage. The degree of air pollution in the neighbourhood also has an impact on the family’s willingness to sort garbage. This study proposes that neighbourhood factors have a non-negligible influence on a household’s willingness to sort and put garbage in designated locations. Especially in urban neighbourhoods, the willingness of residents living in commodity housing neighbourhoods to sort and place garbage at designated locations is significantly higher than that of residents living in other neighbourhoods. To improve the implementation effect of the waste sorting policy, we suggest that the configuration of neighbourhood garbage recycling services and facilities should be improved so that people can sort garbage more conveniently.

Household food security level essentially is the ability of households meet food sufficiency. These capabilities are greatly influenced by many complex factors, but  generally  associated  with  changes  in  behavioral  aspects  of  food  production, consumption and allocation of households resources. The purpose of this study was to analyze  the  level  of  household  food  security  based  on  low  land  rice  irrigated.  The study was conducted in three districts of rice production center in the province of Bali in 2012, i.e. Tabanan district, Gianyar and Buleleng. Data collection was conducted through interviews with 216 respondents. Household food security was measured by cross classification of the share of food expenditure and consumption of energy. The results  of  the  analysis  showed  58.33  %  of  households  have  a  lower  share  of  food expenditure  and  41.67%  household  have  higher  share  of  food  expenditure.  In aggregate  86.57%  of  farm  households  is  quite  in  consuming  energy  and  13.43% is less  in  energy  consume.  The  level  of  household  food  security  of  farmers  in  the aggregate 49.07% of the household were categorized as secure, 37.9% as vulnerable, 8.79% as insufficient, and 4.17% as insecure. There is a correlation between the level of  household food  security  with  age  of  housewife,  level  of  education,  farm  size  and household income.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine socio-economic status (SES) and time-related factors associated with less healthy food purchases in Australia.DesignData were from the 2009/10 Household Expenditure Survey (HES) conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Regression analysis was used to examine the associations between the proportion of the household food budget spent on various food types (processed and unprocessed foods, foods purchased from takeaways and restaurants) and SES and time constraint variables.SettingAustralia, 2009–2010.SubjectsNationally representative sample of Australian households.ResultsHousehold income seems to be the most important correlate with food expenditure patterns once other SES indicators are controlled for. Time constraints appear to explain some, but not all, of the adjusted SES gradients in food expenditure. Comparing home food consumption categories (processed and unprocessed foods) with foods purchased away from home (takeaway and restaurant foods) shows that wealthier, more highly educated and least disadvantaged households spend relatively less of their total food budget on processed and unprocessed foods prepared at home and more on foods purchased away from home at restaurants.ConclusionsSimple SES gradients in dietary behaviour are influenced by correlations between different SES indicators and between SES and time constraints. Examining these factors separately obscures some of the possible causal effects of disadvantage on healthy eating. When formulating policy responses to unhealthy diets, policy makers should consider alternative sources of disadvantage, including time pressure.

Abstract Objectives Maternal nutritional requirements are expected to vary during pregnancy due to changing demands. Household food expenditure (HFE) reflects the affordability for these nutritional demands. We explored the relationship between household income and the HFE during pregnancy. Methods The study was a part of Rajarata Pregnancy Cohort (RaPCo), a prospective cohort conducted in Anuradhapura district, Sri Lanka in 2019. Participants were recruited in the 1st trimester and followed up monthly for household expenditure data using a self-administered questionnaire. The associations between household income and HFE during all three trimesters were assessed with one-way ANOVA, repeated measure ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Results The sample sizes for each trimester were 1288,1049, and 168 pregnant women respectively. The mean (SD) age was 28.3 (5.6) years. The mean (SD) monthly household income and the expenditure were USD 261.29 (203.58) and USD 168.41 (108.68) respectively. The mean (SD) monthly HFE for each trimester were USD 55.18 (32.90), USD 55.07 (30.93), and USD 55.46 (31.67). There was a weak positive correlation (r = 0.022, p = 0.429) between household income and HFE in the 1st trimester and there were significant positive correlations in the 2nd (r = 0.275, p = 0.001) and 3rd trimesters (r = 0.403, p = 0.001). The household food expenditure share (HFES) out of total expenditure across three trimesters (35.0%, 33.3%, and 36.3%) were significantly different [F(2,134) = 3.82, p = 0.024]. The HFES in the income quintiles showed statistically significant difference only in the 2nd trimester [F(4,871) = 9.97, p = 0.001] and the HFHS from the lowest to the highest quintile were 36.1%, 31.7%, 32.1%, 30.0%, and 27.7% respectively. Conclusions On average, Sri Lankan rural pregnant women spend USD 55.24 as HFE and the HFES is 34.9%. The reported HFES value is consistent with the national household estimates in Sri Lanka. Even though the income is positively correlated with food expenditure, the HFES across income quintiles remain high during pregnancy, which reflects the perceived importance of addressing food requirements irrespective of the income.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Food security remains as a fundamental problem in most countries along with population increase, purchasing power improvement, and climate change. To support national food security, it is necessary to implement it at the households’ level such as farming on backyard land (pekarangan) areas. This paper aims to review the potencies, policies and programs, as well as constraints related with use of backyard land in supporting food security at households’ level. Backyard land is potential for farming in order to supply family food needs, especially vegetables, to reduce household food expenditure, and to increase the household income. Some constrains are found in backyard farming, such as less intensive cultivation, not a core business, lack of specific technology, and less field workers’ of assistance. Support from various stakeholders is necessary in order to improve backyard farming.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Ketahanan pangan akan tetap menjadi permasalahan pokok di sebagian besar negara di dunia seiring dengan semakin besar jumlah penduduk, peningkatan daya beli dan dinamika iklim global. Upaya membangun ketahanan pangan keluarga, salah satunya dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan sumberdaya yang tersedia, diantaranya melalui pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan.Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengulas potensi, kebijakan dan program, serta kendala pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan untuk mendukung ketahanan pangan, terutama di tingkat rumah tangga. Lahan pekarangan memiliki potensi dalam penyediaan bahan pangan keluarga, mengurangi pengeluaran rumah tangga untuk pembelian pangan dan meningkatkan pendapatan rumah tangga petani. Sejumlah kendala terkait masalah sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi masih dijumpai dalam program pemanfaatan  lahan pekarangan, diantaranya belum membudayanya budidaya pekarangan secara intensif, masih bersifat sambilan dan belum berorientasi pasar, kurang tersedianya teknologi budidaya spesifik pekarangan, serta proses pendampingan dari petugas yang belum memadai. Oleh karena itu diperlukan perencanaan yang matang dan dukungan lintas sektoral dalam pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan sehingga mampu lebih optimal dalam mendukung ketahanan pangan.</p>

Food Expenditure

Stunting is a linear growth failure due to insufficient long-term nutritional intake. The higher the proportion of household expenditure from total income, the lower the economic level of the family so it is at risk of food insecurity. This study aims to determine the differences in the proportion of stunting and household food expenditure between students from smokers and non-smokers families. This study was an observational study with a cross sectional design with a sample of 98 students from smokers 'families and 98 students from nonsmokers' families. Stunting data is obtained by measuring student height. Household food expenditure is obtained by comparing the total household expenditure spent on food with the total income earned during income. This study uses statistical analysis using the chi-square test. There was a difference in the proportion of stunting (p = <0.001) and the proportion of household food expenditure (p = <0.001) between smokers and non-smokers 'families where the proportion of stunting and household improvement was higher among smokers' families. The conclusion is there’re differences in the proportion of stunting and household food expenditure in students from smoker families and non-smoker families. Families should limit cigarette consumption and allocate appropriately in household food expenditures.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh faktor tingkat pendapatan rumah tangga, tingkat pendidikan ibu rumah tangga, jumlah anggota rumah tangga, dan umur perkawinan terhadap pengeluaran pangan rumah tangga didaerah penelitian dan untuk menganalisis tingkat ketahanan pangan rumah tangga dilihat dari presentase pengeluaran untuk pangan pada rumah tangga di daerah penelitian. Metode penentuan daerah yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah purposive dengan pertimbangan bahwa Desa Karang Gading merupakan Desa dengan jumlah rumah tangga terbesar yang ada di kecamatan Secanggang. Metode penentuan jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode slovin. Sedangkan metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda dan metode kuantitatif dengan melihat persentase pengeluaran pangan. Dari hasil penelitian, diperoleh bahwa secara serempak keempat faktor tersebut berpengaruh nyata terhadap pengeluaran konsumsi pangan rumah tangga. Secara parsial faktor pendapatan rumah tangga dan jumlah anggota keluarga berpengaruh nyata terhadap pengeluaran konsumsi pangan sedangkan faktor tingkat pendidikan ibu rumah tangga dan umur perkawinan tidak berpengaruh nyata. Serta rumah tangga yang ada di Desa Karang Gading termasuk rumah tangga tidak tahan pangan karena sebanyak 65% sampel rumah tangga memiliki persentase pengeluaran pangan yang tinggi.   This study aimed to analyze the effect of household income level, household level of education, number of household members, and age of marriage on household food expenditure in the study area and to analyze the level of household food security seen from the percentage of food expenditure in the household in the research area. The method of determining the area used in this study was purposive with the consideration that Karang Gading Village was a village with the largest number of households in the district of Secanggang. The method of determining the number of samples used in this study was the Slovin method. While the data analysis method used was multiple linear regression analysis and quantitative methods by looking at the percentage of food expenditure. From the results of the study, it was found that these four factors had a significant effect on household food consumption expenditure simultaneously. Partially, the household income factor and the number of family members had a significant effect on food consumption while the factors of the education level of housewives and the age of marriage were not significant. As well as households in Karang Gading village, including the households which were not food-safe because as many as 65% of household samples had high food expenditure percentages.
