“…However, one aspect of green spaces that was not investigated in this study was the impact of community gardens and allotments on which organic produce is grown for local citizens [64,65]. The community gardening movement has blossomed in the last decade, with community gardens becoming increasingly popular [66,67].…”

“…The pandemic ignited a rise in popularity of small-scale agriculture [64,68] as people began growing their own food, mainly due to international food shortages, as large swaths of the population "panic bought" huge quantities of items to stockpile before supermarkets introduced restricted buying regulations [69,70].…”

Green spaces unquestionably improve both physical and mental health, but there is little information on how they affect quality of life. This study investigates whether the public perception of how local green spaces and their impact on quality of life have altered as a result of restrictions imposed by the U.K.’s SARS-CoV-2 pandemic containment strategy. Qualitative data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed via social media platforms and postal flyers. The results clearly demonstrate that 90% of participants believe that green spaces improved their quality of life during the pandemic, with over 85% thinking that green spaces will continue to have a positive impact on their quality of life once the pandemic is over. Whether this is a permanent change in public thinking or a short-term adaptation to the stresses of the pandemic can be assessed in future research studies. More detailed research is required to understand more clearly the aspects and types of green spaces that are the most valuable for improving quality of life so that future ones can be designed to provide maximum benefits.

The Covid-19 pandemic had forced cinemas to close and the film industry to dim. Cinema closures are a serious issue for moviegoers and the film community. This research tries to find out how the film community is surviving amidst a pandemic. Qualitative methods are used to develop the research. Data collection is done through interviews. The analysis was carried out by adopting resilience communication theory to find out how the film community deals with pandemic situations. The results of the study show that 1) moviegoers adopt subscription video services (over-the-top) as an alternative to cinemas; 2) internet-based chat rooms and online meetings are alternatives to physical meetings; 3) the new normal period does not necessarily erase the habits that have been built during the pandemic; and 4) a pandemic is not always a hindrance, but also triggers the productivity and creativity of moviegoers

“…While restrictions kept people at home during the first few months of the pandemic, many cities around the world saw an increase in access to green spaces such as parks and gardens. During the COVID-19 pandemic, urban green spaces such as community gardens received increased attention (Joshi & Wende, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted food insecurity in urban areas due to disruptions in the food supply chain, aggravation of physical and economic barriers to food access, and a catastrophic increase in food waste due to labor shortages.…”

As many residents struggle with access to fresh produce (fruits and vegetables) and continue to face food insecurity issues, community gardens can be used as a strategy in alleviating these challenges and helping families reduce pandemic-related economic losses by supplementing their diets with nutritious foods. Community gardens are a great way to increase food security, improve public health and reduce crime rates. With a variety of setups, locations, and goals, they can play an important role in making healthy, ethical, and sustainable food available to all people. Having abundant fresh produce readily available in the community reduces grocery bills for families and provides food options when they are low on groceries. Saving money and reducing food insecurity are two benefits. This was crucial during the pandemic when many people experienced financial losses due to unemployment, and it is still crucial given the rising price of food today. This paper, through a rigorous literature review, examines the contributions, and the positive impacts of community and home gardens towards addressing food insecurity and the overall well-being of household members and determines the type of gardening people practice, and common crops grown.
