Abstract:
The development of shopping malls is a major social and global phenomenon that has unearthed a novel facet for customer satisfaction and their consequent or relative buying behavior. The aim of his paper was to explore the gender differences in consumer buying behavior at selected Durban shopping malls. It is an observational cross-sectional study carried out on 700 randomly selected respondents to study buying capacity, buying behavior and shopping experience of male and female consumers at shopping malls in the city of Durban, South Africa. Data was collected through pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire with closed ended questions. The study revealed that there are notable gender differences, which shape shopping behavior among men and women. Time and money spent at the mall was significantly high among female as compared to male consumers. Consequently, the results attributed that personal attributes and shopping mall attractiveness factors played a crucial role in influencing customer shopping behavior amongst the mall shoppers. The study concludes that gender differences are prevalent in the buying behavior of customers at the select shopping malls in Durban, South Africa. Average time spent by female is high as compared to male which also affect their average money spent at shopping mall. Psychological, Social and Cultural factors are highly influencing customers’ buying behavior at shopping malls.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to recognize the factors that influence the consumer’s behavior towards shopping centers. Along with this study endeavors have been made to investigate different components which influence the consumer behavior towards shopping mall. This literature review found the consumer preferences towards shopping mall. Customers do not go shopping mall only for shopping but also for entertainment. Different studies denote that there are numerous factors that appeal the customer towards shopping mall. This work will definitely help shopkeepers or retailers to make changes (if any) in the mall in order to attract customers and satisfying their needs and wants and also important for the development of a mall. After reexamining of 100 papers on consumer behavior towards shopping mall author recognized that shopping environment, ease of shopping, availability of different products, showbiz offered at malls, parking facility, good product quality, discount and sales promotion are the factors that convince the Shoppers to visit shopping malls with entertainment.

Abstract:
In the recent past there has been massive growth of shopping malls in Africa. As a result, in some countries like Kenya, shopping malls have to fight to ensure they attract shoppers to the mall and as a result maintain the image and the current tenants while attracting new quality tenants. This study focused on identifying and validating a tool to measure the determinants of shopping mall attractiveness. Data was collected from residents of Nairobi City in Kenya. A total of 303 respondents participated in the study. Initially a tool with 38 items was developed from the literature and after subjecting it to a factor analysis, validity and reliability tests a 17 item scale was achieved. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used in the determination of shopping mall attractiveness dimensions. From the analysis of data, five key determinants of shopping mall attractiveness were identified. These included: design and aesthetics; service options; convenience and safety; service employees; and, utilitarian value. Amongst the five dimensions, convenience and safety was identified as the most important in influencing shopping mall attractiveness.

Abstract:
Shopping mall is a group of retail stores under one roof. Malls have been constantly adapting and changing in both style and substance in order to attract increasingly sophisticated and fickle consumers. There are various factors which might affect shoppers’ selection of a place to shop. The present study is an attempt in this regard with special reference to Indian context. The objective of this study was to identify the factors affecting selection criterion of consumers with respect to shopping malls. Mall intercept survey was conducted to identify the factors which influence the selection of shopping malls in multiple cities. The sample included 181 active mall shoppers. Total seven factors which influence the selection of shopping malls from consumer’s view point were identified with a structure questionnaire. Study will help the mall owners and the retail marketers to understand the insights of shoppers that on what basis consumers select the shopping malls for shopping. On these bases, they can plan their strategies for shopping malls.

Abstract:
Purpose This study was carried out to identify mall image dimensions, analyse and discuss how shopping well-being is influenced by mall image and impacts on mall loyalty with the moderating role of gender differences. Besides, the relationship between hedonic value (HV) and utilitarian value (UV) on shopping well-being are investigated. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Through a questionnaire, data were obtained from shoppers at the biggest and the most remarkable malls in Tehran that has a high level of brand awareness. A two-stage method of structural equation modelling was used for testing the hypotheses. Findings The results show that shopping well-being is affected by mall image and HV but not by UV. In addition, as indicated in previous researches, this study supports the idea that shopping well-being influences mall loyalty. In other words, it is argued that shopping well-being is more about pleasure and fun than doing task-oriented activities. Originality/value Most of the mall image dimensions overlapped each other, therefore the purpose of this research is to choose and introduce the best and the most comprehensive combination of those dimensions. Also, in spite of the recent emergence of the shopping well-being concept, it has proved to be delicate in the Iranian context through value, consumer well-being, consumption experiences and sociological life space theories in the quantitative method. In addition, this study shows that shopping well-being is a subjective well-being. This is in contrast to what the common Islamic philosophers opine. Additionally, not only did it propose how to make shoppers more loyal through shopping well-being, but it also discussed the role of gender difference on the subject of shopper loyalty phenomenon. More importantly, this study enables other researchers to investigate cultural differences in this region and make it possible to compare Middle Eastern Countries, especially Iran, to other countries.

Abstract:
In the era of globalization, increasing the nation’s industrial competitiveness, production value, and competitiveness is a challenge for every country. Therefore, Taiwan must strive for innovation, increase the added value of its products, and enhance industrial competitiveness. This promotes Taiwan’s survival under competition engendered by globalization. The study identified public places that influence consumer opinions of shopping malls to examine the intentionality of the relationship between people and shopping malls. Taiwan has many historical cultural parks that have been reduced to idle spaces. This research will enable historical creative parks. Through DAHP’s research methods, this research will determine the key factors in the public space of cultural shopping centers. Moreover, the study examined key factors that create a sense of culture in public space design. The relationship between the general public and shopping malls has various internationalities.

Abstract:
The modern consumer expects a consumption experience with both hedonic and utilitarian rewards during a single visit to the mall. The orchestrating of both hedonic and utilitarian benefits in one visit challenges mall management and retailers to deliver the maximum shopping experience. This study seeks to reveal relationships among six variables: demographic characteristics, mall shopping orientation, mall perception, hedonic satisfaction, utilitarian satisfaction, and mall consumption. The intercept survey was conducted at a major entertainment-themed mall in north Texas. Multiple regression analyses (N = 202) indicate that demographic characteristics and mall shopping orientation were significant predictors of mall perception. Also, two mall perception factors (Sensation and Physical Environment) were predictors of hedonic and utilitarian mall shopping satisfaction. However, hedonic and utilitarian mall shopping satisfaction were found not to predict mall consumption in terms of cross-shopping, money spent, and time spent.

Abstract:
The shopping mall branch has estimated that the turnover of e-commerce will double within the upcoming ten years (NSCS, 2013). The growth can thus stop for shopping malls and there is a risk that some shopping malls end up being "dead-malls", completely losing their turnover. The thesis starts off with presenting the background for the factors of trade, i.e. e-commerce and shopping malls. This is followed by a presentation of which integration possibilities there are in Sweden today and by examples from the British market. Thereafter follows a section on integration possibilities that shopping malls can use in order to integrate e-commerce instead of regarding it as a threat. This can be done in several ways, e.g. by virtual shopping malls, portals, click and collect, check and reserve, showrooms or a virtual shopping wall. The thesis also considers the question of how one can evaluate integration possibilities efficiently. E-commerce will have an impact on shopping malls and some of these consequences are taken up and discussed. The consequences are amongst others a change in shopping space, rental contracts, tenant mix, the shopping mall visit experience, service, image, multi-channel strategy, lower in-shop prices etc. Then, some of the latest trends are revealed, gathered from a workshop that we organized together with WSP. That workshop was taken part in by some experienced guests within the shopping mall branch, e.g. JLL, Vasakronan, ElinderSten Arkitekter, NCSC and Centrumutveckling. The Thesis is concluded with a vision of how a typical shopping mall will look like in 2025.
Köpcentrumbranschen har uppskattat att näthandelns omsättning kommer att fördubblas inom de tio kommande åren (NCSC,2013). Tillväxten kan då komma att stanna upp för köpcentrumen och det finns en risk för att vissa köpcentrum kommer att bli "dead-malls" och tappa sin omsättning. Arbetet börjar med en litteraturstudie och bakgrundsavsnitt om handelns faktorer samt historia och fakta om e-handeln och köpcentrummet. Detta följs utav en kartläggning av vilka integrationsmöjligheter som finns i Sverige idag och exempel på hur det kan se ut i England. Efter det kommer ett avsnitt om integrationsmöjligheter som köpcentrumen kan använda sig av för att integrera e-handeln till köpcentrumen istället för att se e-handeln som ett hot. Detta kan göras på flera sätt, några utav dessa integrationsmöjligheter är till exempel, ett Virtuellt köpcentrum, en Portal, "Click and Collect", "Check and reserve", ett Showroom och en "Virtual shopping wall". Arbetet behandlar även hur man skulle kunna bedöma integrationsmöjligheternas lönsamhet. E-handeln kommer att påverka köpcentrum och några utav dessa konsekvenser tas upp och kartläggs. Konsekvenserna är bland annat en förändring av butiksytan, hyresavtalen, hyresgästmixen, betydelse av upplevelsen i ett köpcentrum, servicen, imagen, Multi-kanal-strategin och ett lägre pris i butiken mm. Några trendspaningar redovisas ifrån en Workshop som vi anordnade tillsammans med WSP. Denna Work shop gästades av erfarna inom köpcentrumsområdet ifrån Jones Lang Lasalle, Vasakronan, ElinderSten Arkitekter, Nordic Council of Shopping Centers och Centrumutveckling. Arbetet avslutas med en Vision om hur ett typiskt köpcentrum kommer att se ut 2025 och ett kapitel innehållande slutsatser och tips för vidare studier inom området.

Abstract:
In this post-boom era, the so-called dead mall is a growing phenomenon. A quintessentially American icon, the shopping mall arose in a time of prosperity, and was a central component of the pre-fab utopia of suburban life. The shopping mall was conceived to create a new and improved town center. As indoor private properties, developers attempted to engineer the conditions to instill a state of euphoria in shoppers, which would fuel the need to spend in order to heighten that satisfaction. But ultimately, just as the gratification was temporary, so too is the mall.

Abstract:
The increasing popularity of computing devices with short-range wireless offers new communication service opportunities. These devices are small and may be mobile or embedded in almost any type of object imaginable, including cars, tools, appliances, clothing and various consumer goods. The majority of them can store data and transmit it when a wireless, or wired, transmitting medium is available. The mobility of the individuals carrying such short-range wireless devices is important because varying distances creates connection opportunities and disconnections. It is likely that successful forwarding algorithms will be based, at least in part, on the patterns of mobility that are seen in real settings. For this reason, studying human mobility in different environments for extended periods of time is essential. Thus we need to use measurements from realistic settings to drive the development and evaluation of appropriate forwarding algorithms. Recently, several significant efforts have been made to collect data reflecting human mobility. However, these traces are from specific scenarios and their validity is difficult to generalize. In this thesis we contribute to this effort by studying human mobility in shopping malls. We ran a field trial to collect real-world Bluetooth contact data from shop employees and clerks in a shopping mall over six days. This data will allow the informed design of forwarding policies and algorithms for such settings and scenarios, and determine the effects of users' mobility patterns on the prevalence of networking opportunities. Using this data set we have analysed human mobility and interaction patterns in this shopping mall environment. We present evidence of distinct classes of mobility in this situation and characterize them in terms of power law coefficients which approximate inter-contact time distributions. These results are quite different from previous studies in other environments. We have developed a software tool which implements a mobility model for "structured" scenarios such as shopping malls, trade fairs, music festivals, stadiums and museums. In this thesis we define as structured environment, a scenario having definite and highly organised structure, where people are organised by characteristic patterns of relationship and mobility. We analysed the contact traces collected on the field to guide the design of this mobility model. We show that our synthetic mobility model produces inter-contact time and contact duration distributions which approximate well to those of the real traces. Our scenario generator also implements several random mobility models. We compared our Shopping Mall mobility model to three other random mobility models by comparing the performances of two benchmark delay tolerant routing protocols, Epidemic and Prophet, when simulated with movement traces from each model. Thus, we demonstrate that the choice of a mobility model is a significant consideration when designing and evaluating delay-tolerant mobile ad-hoc network protocols. Finally, we have also conducted an initial study to evaluate the effect of delivering messages in shopping mall environments by exclusively forwarding them to customers or sellers, each of which has distinctive mobility patterns.

Abstract:
Shopping centres play an important role of Hong Kong people’s lifestyle, as they are not just places for shopping but also for community and social activities. They can provide products and services including entertainment, supermarket, dining, daily products and also other special services. However, the overall standard for shopping centre declines over time. To deal with aged properties, shopping renovation project is a possible solution. In this paper, the needs and importance of the shopping centre renovations are assessed. From the source of existing literature, the needs of shopping centre renovations come from the failure to meet the customer satisfactions and the lack of competitiveness against other shopping centres. Renovation projects can provide improvement to the existing facilities and enhance the overall value of the shopping centres. Renovation works do not only extend the building life and make the building more desirable and economically valuable, but they can be treated as a tool to fulfill some special objectives decided by the developers. For the next objective, upon the completed renovation projects by the Link REIT, their outcomes are assessed. To achieve this objective, seven criteria leading to shopping centre success are introduced. They are accessibility, visibility, anchor tenants, design and layout, size, tenant mix, trade mix and environment. The overall performance for pre renovation and pro renovation are measured based on these criteria and their substantial factors. For quantitative measurement, questionnaires are used for the measurement and there is an overall improvement recorded as shown by increment of scores in the seven criteria. For qualitative measurement, in-depth interviews are applied and detail ways for improvement are collected. Finally, this research investigates the area of improvement and further suggestions will be advised in future projects. They include regular communication with target groups (tenants and shoppers), continuous minor improvements applied to the completed projects to slow down performance backslide and also the enhancement of social responsibility towards different stakeholders.

Abstract:
This dissertation critiques, develops and applies a form of spatial semiotics, specifically topological semiotics, as a means of interpreting and analyzing the design, operation, use and ideological issues of West Edmonton 'Mega'-Mall (WEM) in the context of postmodern culture. Doing so promotes an understanding of the theoretical and analytical utility and limitations semiotics and postmodernism may hold for landscape studies, while furthering our knowledge about the design and social life of multi-purpose, indoor environments. Drawing from several key geographical concepts (landscape, place, placelessness), semiotic notions (icon, language, myth, sign, signification), postmodern issues (heterotopia, the crisis of interpretation, the linguistic turn), and empirical data (on-site observations, off-site questionnaires, secondary academic, government and corporate studies), the concepts of placial icon, simulated landscape and elsewhereness are developed to critique a "way of seeing" and explain what was viewed at the mega-mall. WEM's postmodern, heterotopic milieu of myths and elsewhereness is argued to collapse due to the mall's dual role as tourist centre/civic centre, making WEM an unoriginal, placeless, homotopic nowhere. Despite their theoretically overburdened and methodologically underdeveloped status, semiotics and postmodernism are shown to be useful catalysts for posing questions and initiating criticisms relevant to contemporary social theory, landscape studies and substantive social issues.

There is a common assumption that shopping malls are "bad" buildings. But this thesis aims to contest this assumption and offer a new way to approach shopping centre design. The shopping mall is not bad in the sens that it functions highly effieciently and serves the retail requirements of both shopper and tenant. The way in which the shopping mall is bad is the thinking behind their design often as a result of developer control, being one of the most commercially driven building types. This can often result in buildings that have a negative impact on their surroundings. Shopping malls tend to isolate their surroundings by creating inward-facing arcades. This is observed as the only profitable way to deal with shop fronts in shopping malls which results in the creation of large blank facades on the exterior.
