“…Further support for the importance of appearance comes from a study by Timmermans et al (1982). They identified atmosphere and physical layout as the third and fourth most frequently used dimensions to distinguish among shopping centers in Eindhoven, the Netherlands; the most frequently used dimensions were size and distance.…”

“…The personal constructs that were produced in the 20 interviews by Timmermans et al (1982) illustrate the kind of detailed attributes that are related to atmosphere and layout issues: cozyness, care for maintenance, quietness, well organized, dark or light, safety, sheltered or windy, information sufficiency, coveredness, compactness, pedestrianization, quality of window displays, special activities, intimacy, cleanliness. Clearly, many of these personal constructs can be manipulated more or less directly by retailers and developers as well as by designers and planners.…”

This article presents a study of the effects of various shopping center design and management attributes on consumer evaluations of the public space appearance (or atmosphere) in shopping centers. Examples of such attributes are level of maintenance, area for pedestrians, window displays, street layout, and street activities. A model is estimated from responses to experimentally controlled descriptions of hypothetical shopping centers. This conjoint analysis or stated preference-based model is compared with a similar regression model estimated from a cross section of perceptions of existing shopping centers. The conjoint and cross-sectional models are tested for their external validity on a holdout sample of respondents. It is concluded that both models perform equally well, but that the approach using hypothetical alternatives allows more detailed insight in the effects of the various shopping center attributes.

“…In this latter respect, the coded creation of mental maps of urban areas has been shown to affect sensory motor activity including discretionary travel disposition (Beck and Wood, 1976;Mercer, 2008). In the retail research area it has also been urged that town centre image dimensions should be generated from consumers' perspectives not directly related to physical maps, because of and not despite their idiosyncratic knowledge, which uses a limited number of constructs (Timmermans et al, 1982)-thereby eliciting 'the consumers own subjective and internalized semantic structure' (p. 3) to investigate their location-imaging vocabulary.…”

Questions arise concerning the nature and organization of residents' perceptual responses t o neighborhood change. Transactionalism, with its focus on context and change, provides a theoretical basis for an empirical study that attempts t o identify and evaluate the human dimensions of change within the context of an inner-city neighborhood of San Diego, California. Using quasi-nonmetric weighted multi-dimensional scaling (WMDS), I analyzed similarity matrices, which are derived from asking a sample of residents t o respond to different neighborhood contexts. The WMDS suggests that residents place great importance on neighborhood stability. A modified form of repertory grid analysis provides insight into how individuals respond to specific neighborhood changes. Residential and commercial establishments that had disappeared from the area are, on the whole, preferred. Residents dislike large new developments, finding them cold, mass-produced and impersonal. A non-metric classic multi-dimensional scaling (CMDS) of selected data from the repertory grids produces an indifference surface that describes perceived effects of specific changes. Large proximate changes stimulate greater response than those in more remote locations. A transactional model i s suggested as a basis for studying local evaluations of neighborhood change and for contributing t o knowledge and application in microlevel research in general.
