“…For socially isolated people, visits to supermarkets and shopping malls not only serve meeting basic needs (such as the purchase of food), but they constitute forms of recreational activities, entertainment, medical movement, strengthening social contacts, and a change in environment and 'escape from the stereotype' (cf. Vidovićová and Petrová Kafková, 2012;Križan et al, 2018;. It is, however, more complicated to visit the shopping malls (most of which are located on the outskirts of the cities in this study) or other services and/or sport or cultural facilities for older people, who have limited transport mobility (no access to a car) and thus they have to spend more time travelling by public transport.…”

The geography of ageing is addressed in this article by providing new empirical evidence about the significant role of daily activities on the perceptions of isolation and loneliness. The developed model of socio-spatial isolation is based on data from time-space diaries and questionnaires completed by older adults living in three cities in the Czech Republic. The study suggests that socio-spatial isolation is a multicomponent (consisting of passivity, isolation and loneliness components), place-dependent and gendered issue. The passivity is significantly associated with the income and leisure sport activities. The isolation can be well predicted by the age, gender and education, and the frequency of work and specific leisure activities, which are constrained by health conditions, financial opportunities and spatial mobility. Particularly trips to nature, sport activities, cultural events, get together with friends, and visits to restaurants have a positive effect on reducing isolation. Women, particularly those who raised more children, more likely feel lonely in old age when family contacts are reduced. Visits to restaurants, shopping malls and cultural events have a positive effect on reducing loneliness. A constrained mobility and higher time consumption for necessary activities also proved to be an age-related and gendered problem. In this respect, policy interventions should seek to improve flexible work opportunities, the digital skills of older people, and the accessibility and safety of public transport with regard to perceived constraints, which is gaining in importance in the Covid-19 era.

“…As the behavioural aspects regards, the attention was focused on selected segments of consumers, e.g. on teenagers' and seniors' shopping behaviour (Križan et al , 2018). Some studies highlighted the perspective of consumers for measuring the attractiveness of the Czech and Slovak shopping centres (Križan et al , 2014; Kunc et al , 2016).…”

“…The shopping centres have become a key signifier of modifications of consumer behaviour in the Czech Republic, as well as in other post-socialist countries. A visit to a shopping centre has become an attraction, entertainment, a form of leisure and even a specific form of a social event not only for young people but also, for example, for senior citizens (Spilková, 2012; Križan et al , 2018). Generally speaking, understanding the patterns of the consumers' behaviour is a vital issue of entrepreneurship in the contemporary approach to retail, in respect to location as well as organization and operation of retail outlets at all their levels in terms of size and type of service (Underhill, 2004; Križan et al , 2018).…”

PurposeEffective management of shopping centres requires a good understanding of the consumers' behaviour and preferences as well as meeting the demand-side needs. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the factors affecting the frequency of shopping centres' visits, providing implications for shopping centre managers from the perspective of a Czech consumer.Design/methodology/approachThe study was carried out in one of the Czech shopping centres in Brno due to its potentially standardisable common characteristics derived from the observation in the scatter plot. The standardized questionnaire survey on consumer shopping behaviour was conducted on a sample of more than 1,000 customers. The linear probability model and the logit model were applied to estimate impacts of included sociodemographic variables on the outcome.FindingsThe findings on the frequency of visits give an overview of the sociodemographic and spatial determinants increasing the visit regularity. From the managerial point of view, the importance of customers' activities and purposes is highlighted.Practical implicationsThe implications can be provided to managers challenging to demand management and considering the investment projects. We come up with certain suggestions in terms of market segmentation, based on sociodemographic characteristics and shopping behaviour.Originality/valueThe paper provides insights into the preferences of the Czech consumers and extends the previous analysis of shopping behaviour by developing the statistical properties and demonstrating the variables and their influence on the frequency of visit.

“…The size of the commercial area for customers in the SHOPPING/ENTERTAINMENT segment is more dependent on the characteristics of the shopping center than on the QSR per se (BAS, 2018). Small (local) shopping centers do not attract a large number of visitors from remote areas, so for such locations it is necessary to consider only the population within 8-10 minutes' walk (Guimaraes, 2018;Krizan, 2018;Mulicek, 2018). The specificity of generating flows of visitors to large shopping centers, hypermarkets or malls is calculated individually.…”

Research on specifics of selecting locations for QSR and assessing their potential is becoming increasingly vital in the conditions of high uncertainty and risks associated with the restaurant business. Therefore, the investigation of theoretical and applied fundamentals for justifying factors influencing the choice of QSR location is becoming more urgent. The aim of this investigation is to consider the development of recommendations on the ways of applying the above mentioned fundamen- tals .Decisions on deployment of the operating system of service facilities including restaurants are strategic in nature. The key factors affecting location of projected QSR can be divided into general and specific, which consider the requirements for the territorial location of the facility in the city/area and the development site. Among them are: proximity to residential areas and other objects necessary for potential employees and consumers; availability, capacity and significance of transport routes, vehicle speed; volume of transportation of potential consumers, convenient access roads; composition and territorial dispersion of a cluster of product form and territorial com- petitors; availability of a high-professional competitive supply network; availability and proximity to traffic generators (magnets); size, configuration, relief and other technical features; its visibility; zonal restrictions (norms for development of the territory, consistency with neighbouring objects, possibility of organizing a parking lot); appropriate format of quick-service; possibility of reconstructing leased premises. Important variables in the decision to choose a QSR location include analysis of: 1) the routes of potential customers, their initial and final destination before/after visiting a QSR with «HOUSE», «WORK», «SHOPPING (ENTERTAINMENT) « AND OTHERS» being most decisive; 2) the size of the QSR’s commercial area defined as the distance customers are mentally prepared to cover for visiting a restaurant; 3) focal distance providing division of the commercial area into sectors of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes of accessibility and showing contribution of the inhabitants of each sector to the overall structure of the QSR sales; 4) existing and potential generators of QSR customer flows, requirements for their mutual location. When choosing a QSR location it is necessary to provide a realistic assessment of the market opportunities and threats to the QSR’s further development; take into account sector speci- ficity in determining the intensity of competition and market capacity; analyze flows of customers; substantiate the focal distance and the size of the QSR’s commercial area; consider generators of QSR customer flows and specifics of their mutual placement.
