Sejak adanya pandemi Covid-19, pembelanja menjadi lebih selektif dalam memilih lokasi belanja sebagai bentuk perlindungan agar terhindar dari penularan Covid-19. Seperti halnya yang terjadi di Kota Depok, situasi pandemi yang cukup tinggi di kota ini, ditambah dengan semakin meningkatnya variasi pilihan lokasi belanja di Kota Depok, dapat mempengaruhi keputusan pembelanja di Kota Depok dalam memilih lokasi belanja. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik lokasi belanja bahan pangan segar yang paling sering dipilih oleh pembelanja di Kota Depok pada masa pandemi Covid-19 dan pola spasial pemilihan lokasi belanja bahan pangan segar berdasarkan karakteristik pembelanjanya di masa pandemi. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah spasial deskriptif dan statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa karakteristik lokasi belanja bahan pangan segar yang paling sering dipilih oleh pembelanja di Kota Depok pada masa pandemi Covid-19 adalah pasar rakyat dengan skala pelayanan lokal. Untuk lokasi belanja berkonsep modern, toko swalayan dengan skala pelayanan lokal seperti supermarket yang tidak menyatu dengan pusat perbelanjaan lebih diminati oleh pembelanja di Kota Depok. Lain halnya dengan belanja online, pembelanja lebih memilih toko online dengan skala pelayanan regional karena memiliki variasi toko yang lebih beragam. Tetapi di masa pandemi Covid-19 yang sudah mulai membaik ini, hanya sebagian kecil pembelanja yang memilih untuk berbelanja bahan pangan segar di toko online. Pola spasial pemilihan lokasi belanja bahan pangan segar oleh pembelanja di Kota Depok pada masa pandemi Covid-19 cenderung terpusat pada lokasi belanja yang jaraknya dekat dari tempat tinggal. Pembelanja dengan pendapatan, penilaian ancaman, dan penilaian koping rendah hingga sedang saat pandemi Covid-19 cenderung memilih pasar rakyat dengan skala pelayanan lokal maupun distrik yang berlokasi di kawasan permukiman dekat dengan tempat tinggal pembelanja. Sedangkan pembelanja yang memiliki pendapatan dan penilaian koping tinggi terhadap penerapan protokol kesehatan, memilih untuk berbelanja bahan pangan segar di pasar rakyat dan toko swalayan yang jaraknya dekat dari tempat tinggal. Semakin tinggi tingkat penilaian ancaman pembelanja terhadap Covid-19, maka cenderung memilih toko swalayan dengan skala pelayanan lokal seperti supermarket yang tidak menyatu dengan pusat perbelanjaan dan lokasinya berada di dekat tempat tinggal. Untuk pemilihan lokasi belanja bahan pangan segar di toko online cenderung dipilih oleh pembelanja yang memiliki penilaian ancaman dan penilaian koping tinggi saat pandemi Covid-19, serta pembelanja yang tinggal di wilayah dengan ketersediaan pasar yang rendah.
