About
Exploring the relationship between personal taste and local food accessibility provides unique insights into the geographic reach of global cuisines. This record set captures individual responses to a survey regarding preferred food types and their presence in specific locales, mapped through participant-provided coordinates. It aims to document how culinary cultures transcend national and cultural borders, highlighting the social labels and marketing factors that define world cuisines.
Columns
- Latitude: The approximate geographic coordinate representing the respondent's reported location.
- Longitude: The approximate geographic coordinate for mapping the respondent's region.
- American: A boolean indicator showing whether American cuisine is preferred or available.
- Chinese: A boolean indicator reflecting the preference for or availability of Chinese food.
- French: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of French cuisine.
- Greek: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of Greek cuisine.
- Indian: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of Indian cuisine.
- Italian: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of Italian cuisine.
- Japanese: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of Japanese cuisine.
- Mexican: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of Mexican cuisine.
- Spanish: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of Spanish cuisine.
- Thai: A boolean indicator for the preference or availability of Thai cuisine.
Distribution
The information is structured across several CSV files, including
Food_Preferences.csv, Food_Availability.csv, Default_Options.csv, and User_Entered_Options.csv. The Food_Availability.csv file is approximately 7.75 kB in size and contains 57 values. The files maintain a high usability score of 10.00 and are provided in a static format with no future updates planned.Usage
These records are ideal for mapping the global spread of specific food cultures and identifying regions where certain cuisines are underrepresented. It is well-suited for statistical analysis to compare personal preference against actual local availability. Additionally, researchers can use the coordinate data to visualise culinary clusters and trends across different continents and cultures.
Coverage
The scope is global, with data points representing participants from various parts of the world who provided approximate geolocation markers. Temporally, the collection includes data gathered up until August 2022, representing a final snapshot of survey responses. The demographic reach includes diverse individuals who participated in a digital survey conducted by MSc Data Science students from ITU Copenhagen.
