evidence: Globally, regionally and locally citizens are emerging from a Covid-19 pandemic, the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, a cost-of-living crisis and geopolitical instability. All of these have impacted on householders’ ability to afford the basic essentials for living particularly in Northern Ireland where 17% of households live in relative poverty. Compounding this is the rural premium whereby there can be affordability and accessibility departments as a result of living rurally and Fermanagh and Omagh District (FODC) is predominantly rural with 70% of the population living outside the two main towns of Enniskillen and Omagh. This research investigated the spatial patterns of fuel poverty (a household's inability to keep adequately warm at a reasonable cost), transport poverty (affordability of transport) and food poverty (insufficient economic access to an adequate quantity and quality of food to maintain a nutritionally satisfactory and socially acceptable diet) to identify if rurality increases the risk of fuel, transport and/or food poverty in FODC. The study aimed to provide food, fuel and transport poverty maps in order to inform poverty alleviation policies and programmes and targeted interventions at District Electoral Area level to maximise impact and ensure those most in need are supported. This is because tackling poverty is a priority which has been identified in the Fermanagh and Omagh Community Plan 2030. This research will help assess the impact the COVID-19 pandemic, cost-of-living crisis, as well as the rural premium has on residents in Fermanagh and Omagh. Assessing the symptoms and the data and evidence will allow for Community Planning to work in partnership to collectively address the root causes.
