et al. 2020

Commercial complexes are steadily expanding in size and function and plying roles as quasi-public spaces. This study investigated quasi-public spaces in contemporary commercial complexes by posting two questions: the physical features of quasi-public spaces in commercial complexes and how these characteristics promote sociability in commercial complexes? To answers these questions, a questionnaire survey was administered, and various observations were made in Intime City, Wanda Plaza and Western City Square, three prominent commercial complexes in Hangzhou City (Zhejiang Province, China), to enrich the analysis. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the collected data. The results show that commercial complexes are also used as quasi-public spaces: they provide a more secure and well-maintained environment, playful conversations take place freely and democratically, promote socialization, and also increase consumption. In the existing literature, there is a dearth of theoretical and empirical studies on the emergence of quasi-public spaces.

“…The shopping malls are a spatial pattern of highly decorated and well organized retail stores with homogeneous and heterogeneous items under one roof. Simultaneously, it provides leisure, joyfulness, entertainment and many other composite forms [26][27][28]. These complex structures provide social interaction, easy access to all facilities and services, and better quality of urban life.…”

Exploring the Features of Sustainable Urban Form and the Factors that Provoke Shoppers towards Shopping Malls

et al. 2019

This study examined various features of urban form, which promote sustainable development and provoke shoppers toward shopping malls. A field survey was conducted in shopping malls at Hangzhou, which is the capital city of the Zhejiang province, China. Structural equation modeling and a confirmatory factor analysis were used to measure the hypotheses. The results of this study showed that the built environment and entertainment completely mediated the relationship between ambiance and consumption, and they have a positive impact on the environment and shoppers. The built environment and entertainment are viewed as essential elements of physical and social sustainability. Real estate developers, urban planners, and shopping mall managers should consider the design features of urban form to meet sustainable development goals and to attract more shoppers. Testing these relationships via a mediating method is a novel contribution to the study of shopping malls.

“…Suburban shopping centers, large supermarkets, convenience stores and other retail facilities have become a shopping hub for suburban residents [22]. Therefore, the layout of commercial centers is of interest to urban planners and geographers concerned with urban sprawl, transport cost and environmental externalities [23][24][25][26][27]. Thus, examining shopping trips from the perspective of sustainable and low-carbon urban planning is crucial.…”

Current literature highlights the role of commercial centers in cities in generating shopping trips and transport carbon emissions. However, the influence of the characteristics of commercial centers on consumer travel behavior and transport carbon emissions is not well understood. This study addresses this knowledge gap by examining shopping trips to eight commercial centers in Shenyang, China, and the CO 2 emissions of these trips. We found that the locations and types of commercial centers strongly influence CO 2 emissions. CO 2 emissions per trip to commercial centers in the suburbs of Shenyang were on average 6.94% and 26.92% higher than those to commercial centers in the urban core and the inner city, respectively. CO 2 emissions induced by wholesale centers were nearly three times higher than the lowest CO 2 emissions of commercial centers in the inner city. These empirical results enhance our understanding of shopping-related transport carbon emissions and highlight the importance of optimizing urban space structure, in particular, the layout of commercial centers.
