“…Food values refer to immigrants' desire for high quality, fresh, chemical-free and unprocessed foods, in particular fruits and vegetables, natural foods in their natural state (33,35,41,53,58,64,85,90) , perceived as good for health (41,43,69,75) . Fresh and homemade foods were important to immigrants (65) .…”

“…Other food sources were frequented primarily for fresh produce; these included farmers' markets (43,46,54,56,75,82) , Pulgas (flea markets), fruit and vegetable stands, vendors, farms, livestock markets as well as family, friends or neighbours (29,35,44,52,58,61,75) or by foraging for food (35,52,58,75) . Many immigrants cultivated or longed to grow their own food again (37,39,56,58,62,64,65,73) , as a way to access tastier, more nutritious, culturally appropriate fresh produce they could trust, while saving money (37,52,54,56,58,65,75,82,86) .…”

“…The cost of food determined where they shopped (32) , what they purchased and the variety they consumed (38,55,71) . Participants needed to buy the cheapest foods, so they found the sources with the lowest prices for the items they wanted, often good quality, fresh food (43,47,50) .…”

“…Even the fruits and vegetables sold were viewed as having chemicals and hence there was a strong desire for organic foods (33) . Fruits, vegetables and meat were experienced as having less taste and fragrance as compared with their home countries (25,31,32,43,47,70,71,74,76,78,80,85,91) , and this was perceived as evidence of lower quality and nutritional value (76,78) .

“…(Cultural) food preferences Overall, immigrants expressed a strong desire to eat their traditional foods (65,76,82) based on fresh foods they considered healthier (33,43,65,69,70,73,75,76,82,85) , maintaining these eating habits was important to them (73,82) . However, some thought that their cultural foods were 'greasy' and had too big portion sizes as well as consisting of lot of meat (65,91) .…”

Objective: To map and characterize the interactions between the food environment and immigrant populations from low- and middle-income countries living in high-income countries. Design: A scoping review was carried out following the framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley, as well as Levac et al. Peer-reviewed studies in English published between 2007 to 2021 were included. Two reviewers screened and selected the papers according to predefined inclusion criteria and reporting of results follows the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A ‘Best fit’ framework synthesis was carried out using the ANGELO framework. Setting: High-income countries. Subjects: Immigrants from low- and middle-income countries. Results: A total of 68 articles were included, primarily based in the USA, as well as Canada, Australia and Europe, with immigrants originating from five regions of the globe. The analysis identified three overarching themes that interconnected different aspects of the food environment in addition to the four themes of the ANGELO framework. They demonstrate that in valuing fresh, healthy and traditional foods, immigrants were compelled to surpass barriers in order to acquire these, though children’s demands, low incomes, time scarcity and mobility influenced the healthiness of the foods acquired. Conclusion: This study brought together evidence on interactions between immigrant populations and the food environment. Immigrants attempted to access fresh, traditional, healthier food, though they faced structural and family-level barriers that impacted the healthiness of the food they acquired. Understanding the food environment and interactions therein is key to proposing interventions and policies that can potentially impact the most vulnerable.

With the rapid pace of urbanization, enhancing the quality of life has become an urgent demand for the general public in both developed and developing countries. This study addresses the pressing need to understand the spatial distribution and underlying mechanisms of urban leisure activity participation. To achieve this, we propose a novel methodological framework that integrates diverse big data sources, including mobile phone signaling data, urban geospatial data, and web-crawled data. By applying this framework to the urban area of Nanjing, our study reveals both the temporal and spatial patterns of urban leisure activity participation in the city. Notably, leisure activity participation is significantly higher on weekends, with distinctive daily peaks. Moreover, we identify spatial heterogeneity in leisure activity participation across the study area. Leveraging the OLS regression model, we design and quantify a comprehensive set of 12 internal and external indicators to explore the formation mechanisms of leisure participation for different leisure activity types. Our findings offer valuable guidance for urban planners and policymakers to optimize the allocation of resources, enhance urban street environments, and develop leisure resources in a rational and inclusive manner. Ultimately, this study contributes to the ongoing efforts to improve the quality of urban life and foster vibrant and sustainable cities.
