What the maps show

The maps show drivers of unequal harms from gambling and alcohol in the night-time economy in Derby, and Swindon.

The maps reflect the consensus that was possible during a series of interviews and workshops with a small group of stakeholders in each location.

Boundaries for the maps

The boundaries for the maps reflect social boundaries (e.g. the local government boundary), physical boundaries (e.g. the locations where gambling and alcohol is promoted, sold and consumed) and temporal (time) boundaries (e.g. what happens in the night-time economy).

Framework for the maps

To help us organise the ideas on the map, we used a framework from the literature. McCartney’s (2020) framework (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1467-9566.13181?msockid=3ab1f95e23036f891e95ec4d22246e70)defines power as the essential resource in maintaining, increasing or reducing health inequalities. The framework defines the most important sources, spaces, positions and forms of power influencing place-based inequalities in high-income Western settings, particularly the UK.

Elements on the map

Each box shows something that stakeholders identified as happening in the night-time economy to drive unequal harms from gambling and alcohol. We have called these ‘forms of power’.

The boxes showing the forms of power are colour coded according to the ‘sources of power’ that influence them. The key is displayed at the top of the maps.

The forms of power are arranged in different coloured clusters which reflect fields or areas of work. We have called these ‘spaces of power’.

The lines on the maps show where the forms of power are connected to other forms of power. Some forms of power are connected by lines that are the same colour as the boxes - these indicate that the connected forms of power are influenced by the same sources of power. Some forms of power are connected by black lines - these indicate that the connected forms of power are influenced by different sources of power. Some forms of power have no connections.
