“…Underpinning this analysis is the assumption that people will choose to access their nearest service or facility. This will not always be the case especially for those seniors who have access to a car which allows them to travel beyond their immediate neighbourhood (Smith, 1988;Fober and Grotz, 2006). In addition, the distance decay analysis undertaken here used network distance, rather than straight line distance.…”

“…Smith (1998) studied the agglomeration and segregation of the elderly in urban areas in Canada and found a moderate level of segregation in these areas. However, the following trends were also observed: an increase in the proportion of the elderly living in the suburbs and a decrease in age segregation in the census areas [32]. Somenahalli et al (2010) conducted hotspot analysis to examine the population distribution in Adelaide, Australia.…”

Under the background of social transformation and space reconstruction, population aging in China is becoming more and more diverse and complex. "Aging before getting rich", a notion in population and economic development, has been a serious threat to sustainable development in China. On the basis of town-and street block-scale data from the Fifth and Sixth National Census in the Yangtze River Delta, we studied spatial distribution characteristics of population aging using global Moran's I and hotspot analysis, and applied the geographical detector technique to explain the spatial heterogeneity of population aging. Several conclusions were drawn. (1) The promotion and replacement of aging coexist. Cluster of aging degree exhibits an increasing trend. Population aging is more severe in suburban areas than urban areas.(2) Migration is the main factor affecting the spatial heterogeneity of population aging. Per capital GDP and road network density are the second most influential factors. By contrast, the relief degree of land surface and the air quality index minimally influence population aging. The mechanisms of aging in various regions are affected by varying development levels. (3) The interaction among social, economic, and environmental factors enhances their effects and, thus, interacting factors have a greater influence on population aging than any single factor. The findings of this study have significant implications for local inhabitants and policy makers to address the population aging challenge in achieving sustainability of society, economy, and environment. will become the highest-aged country in the world [3]. Under the background of social transformation and space reconstruction, the aging of China is becoming more and more complex. "Aging before getting rich" and "demographic dividend disappeared", the notion in population and economic development, has been a serious threat to social sustainable development. On the other hand, an aging acceleration significantly affects the urban structure, urban formation, and land use of a city, all of which bring about new challenges for urban planning, especially with regard to the allocation of adequate facilities for an increasing number of elderly people [4]. Under such a circumstance, the aging issue has become a common and fundamental subject for local inhabitants, scholars, and governments all over the world. In the Yangtze River Delta in 2010, as an important economically developed area, the proportion of individuals who were over 60 years was 10.45%, which was significantly higher than the national average. Meanwhile, the Yangtze River Delta is a core area for rapid urbanization. In 2010, the region's gross domestic product (GDP) increased to 7.07 trillion RMB, accounting for 16.42% of the national total. It is not only an economically developed region but also an area where interaction occurs between nature and humans, which has resulted in various environmental and ecological problems and brought great challenges to regional sustainable development.

“…Elderly shoppers have been found to be more price-conscious than other cohorts (Burt and Gabbott, 1995). Comparisons among consumers across the lifespan, however, do not suggest that the elderly's level of price consciousness is necessarily much greater than that of other age groups (Smith, 1988). The social context of visits to shopping centres can be considered an important aspect of shopping centre assessment.…”

The shopping behaviours of teenagers in shopping centres in Bratislava (Slovakia) is compared to those of seniors in this paper. The analysis focuses on the perception of shopping centres by teenagers and seniors in the context of time (shopping frequency), social (with whom they shop) and financial (amount of money spent) factors. The survey was conducted on random samples of 504 teenagers and 431 seniors. To test the hypotheses, group means were evaluated (Analysis of Variance models). When assessing the spatial aspects of teenagers’ and seniors’ shopping behaviours, a concentric zone approach was used. It can be concluded that Bratislava teenagers are not as sensitive consumers as seniors in the context of the variables assessed in the survey. Teenagers perceive shopping centres as a normal part of their consumption behaviours. Seniors perceive the shopping centres less positively and they spent a shorter time there. Also, in the case of seniors, the frequency of their visits to shopping centres increased in the context of their positive perceptions.
