Full textAbstract:
The black middle–class market segment also known as the black diamond market
segment has shown immense growth in SA. It currently consists of approximately 3 million
black middle–class South Africans with a buying power of approximately R200 billion.
Despite the immense size and spending power of black diamonds, combined with its rapid
growth over the past 15 years and expected future growth, little research has been
conducted on this market segment.
The rapid market growth of the black diamond market segment has lead to an immense
rise in the demand for middle–income houses. This has caused a shortage of middleincome
houses, and government and real estate developers have been unable to supply
housing in this bracket to meet this ever increasing demand. The study examines this
missing middle between supply and demand for the black diamond market in Tlokwe
municipal region in order to provide the Tlokwe Municipality, real estate developers,
construction companies, town planners, real estate agencies and the Tlokwe Department
of Housing with sufficient information to address this challenge in Tlokwe municipal
region.
The study was conducted by way of a literature review and empirical study. For the
empirical study, the information was obtained through two questionnaires. One
questionnaire was compiled for black diamond respondents and one for real estate
developers and estate agents in the Tlokwe municipal region.
The study found that there is a gap between the supply side and demand side of middleincome
housing (houses within the R50 000 to R550 000 price range) in the Tlokwe
municipal region, and that there is a high demand for such houses. It was also found that
there is a tendency for black diamonds to relocate from the townships to the suburbs. The
major reasons for this movement were identified as family and the lack of availability of
middle–income houses in the townships.
It was also found that the black diamond respondents have a tendency to spend their
money on bad debt (debt on expenses) instead of good debt (debt on assets), and are
inclined to save rather than spend. Furthermore, as evident from the number of
respondents with clothing accounts and cellphone contracts, it was confirmed that black
diamonds are status driven, as suggested in the literature.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
Post-apartheid South Africa has been criticized for failing to satisfactorily achieve its election promise of redistribution and poverty alleviation. While success has been noted in the provision of affordable housing and subsequently home ownership for lower income households, housing demand continue to far outstrip delivery capacity. Those excluded from homeownership include key public sector workers and laborers who face common, but divergent constraints. They are either too rich to qualify for housing subsidy, or too poor to afford homes in the prime market. They constitute the 'gap market'. Utilizing qualitative data from in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with banks, property developers, government and residents in Khayelitsha (a state-subsidized housing settlement in the city of Cape Town), this thesis sought to understand the current challenges faced by the housing market in addressing the needs of the gap market in Cape Town, South Africa. The research identifies the major impediments to meeting the current housing demand in urban South Africa and points to new policy directions that could address the housing gap. Key findings indicate that the major obstacles to home ownership in the gap market include affordability constraints, over-indebtedness, poor credit ratings, and inadequate supply for this income bracket. While these obstacles show little indication of abating, this research's findings and recommendations suggest new pathways for formulating new housing policies that address the housing backlog in the gap market. This also suggests that government policies are critical in developing a healthy and inclusive housing market.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation studies the socio-economic challenges and the survival mechanisms of female-headed households in Bophelong Township. The study focuses on three areas namely, female-headed households, their socio-economic challenges and survival strategies. The study followed a literature survey first, then an empirical study. The literature study was undertaken to provide a theoretical framework for the empirical work. The survey process was undertaken in two phases. In the first phase, a sample survey of the whole area of Bophelong was undertaken. This was the sample from which female-headed households were identified. In the second phase, a household survey on the female-headed households serving the purpose of this study was undertaken. The method used in the measure of poverty is the Household Subsistence Level (HSL). The HSL measures the minimum amount needed by a household to maintain subsistence. It takes account of the sex and ages of household members. According to the study outcome, poverty levels amongst female-headed households in Bophelong are high. About 77% of sampled female-headed households in Bophelong were poor. The poverty gap index in these households was 0.53; meaning that on average poor households needs 53% of their income to reach their poverty line. High unemployment rate has been found to be prevalent amongst female-headed households in Bophelong, where the rate of 65% was recorded. This high unemployment rate was possibly the cause of poverty in these households together with low educational qualifications among households members; only 2% were found to have a post graduate qualification. Female-headed households in Bophelong township are engaged in a daily struggling to survive. These households have devised various means for survival. These include the search for wild fruits in the nearby areas, immigration to another region and the benefit of school feeding schemes. When it comes to the sources of household income, government grants were found to play an important role in the sustenance of these households. The average household income was calculated at R1760 per month. The average dependency ratio, which measures the number of unemployed who depend on one income earner, was 5.5. Finally, the investigation recommends a more detailed and deeper study relating to the socio-economic challenges faced by the female-headed households. There is also a need to explore on their survival means so as to direct policy actions aimed at addressing socio-economic issues relating to female-headed households in general.Thesis (M.Com.

Full textAbstract:
Housing is currently a topical issue in South Africa which has a housing backlog estimated to exceed 2,5 million households. Banks are a critical component of the housing value chain. They have been struggling to facilitate the reduction of the backlog, citing a lack of market liquidity of townships relative to the suburbs as a primary reason for the failure to reduce the backlog. The aim of this research study is to determine the extent to which information asymmetry is a factor in the liquidity of the township property market, with a view to understanding the impediments to liquidity in the township real estate market, and make recommendations for parsimonious interventions. Quantitative analysis was performed by examining data obtained on Estate Agents, Properties Registered and Demographics. Descriptive statistics were employed to understand the structure of the market. Thereafter factor analysis was used to identify relationships and narrow the number of variables for further exploration. Finally, multiple regression was applied in order to understand how the variables identified interacted with one another. The findings revealed that estate agents and the type of housing product had a direct impact on market liquidity. Market liquidity in the township market could be improved by making practical and parsimonious interventions centred on the estate agents, and property developers.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2010.

As time progresses, re-building or reforming of traditional retail market becomes an important project. For current vendors, this kind of project not only improves the selling environment, but it also meets the needs of modern shopping style; it becomes the key point of community building, and it can be a big issue for retail market to face the problem of sustainable development. Integrated Market of Yuli Township is a traditional public market, and how to use modern innovative ideas to re-build and reform its spatial environment by adding ideas of innovation to regain the vitality of old market can be a challenge. Qualitative analysis method is adopted to collect data by using multiple research methods. Means of document analysis, participant observation and in-depth interview are used to do the research of combining governmental resource and constructing the life circle of good quality of modern shopping in market. SWOT analysis is used to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the combination of traditional market and governmental resource. Purposive sampling method is also used in this study to choose the main interviewees, such as traditional market business entities, consumers, public sectors and academic experts. Interviewing data can be analyzed to explore its meaning by the observation of field participation. In long term administration of local government, we would like to evaluate the governmental management counseling benefits on multiple phases to see whether current conditions of operating meet the demands or need to be reformed. In order to suggest the local government to efficiently use resources to reactive and renew Yuli market, this study may be valuable and readable. After 40 years environmental change, due to the developments of multiple new business patterns and urbanization, more and more problems are revealed. Some phases of problem can be: 1.poor management of Yuli market 2.disordered outer-ring un-pay rent vendors 30lack of overall plan for integration and construction 4.lack of concerns of the advantages on the Yuli urban planning 5.lack of developmental strategy to use current subjective conditions and objective environments. After interviews and SWOT analysis, strategies drafted after investigation of public sectors and scholars experiences can be these: A.plan of integration of resources: a.to draft in-out-ring market administration plan b.to reinforce forming of autonomous organization B.plan of reformation shopping environment: a.to empower market construction b.to improve sanitary environment c.to re-plan human and vehicle traffic lines C.plan of empowering of characteristic products a.to combine local agricultural resources b.to develop characteristic local markets c.to create youth power innovating business district D.plan to promote marketing: a.to combine private educational organizations b.to hold theme activities with festivals c.to introduce stories of market with social media and senior workers On basis of promoting and operating strategies mentioned above, suggestion to re-build and reactive Yuli markets can be: 1. Yuli market administrator should propose new administration plan to facilitate overall management performance. 2. Yuli Town Office and other units concerned must implement more police power to administrate out-ring illegal vendors to regulate a fair and legal selling place. 3. Public and private associations should cooperate to reinforce the function of market committee. Thus parking space and shopping environment can be improved to make the town appearance and the traffic around the market better. 4. Cultural and creative innovation can be added to redesign the characters of that region, such as the unique image of PO-SI-KO (stone-art), former name of town, can be reused to activate shopping circle. 5. Yuli traditional market advantages can be strengthened, such as the local farmers’ association can join in the non-toxic agricultural products sale. Resources of medical institutes, educational institutions, and aboriginal product industries can be combined to develop Yuli market to create new business.

’’Road running’’ was viewd as a select leisure activity in the past. However, in the ten years between 2005 and 2015, the amount of running events has soared from 42 to 448. Besides, the research in 2014 also pointed out that the total amount of participants had reached almost 1.5 million. “Road running” blows up so fast and becomes part of a pop culture phenomenon in Taiwan. And the commercial interests which is brought by the “road running mania” also promote the birth of related industrial chain. The existing researches of road running mostly make in the perspect of “practical” and omit the contributing factor and the developing process. Our investigation cuts to the chase through the two new economic sociology sects: “The social network and structural sect” and “the organization and field sect”, then puts forward causes、process of the “road running mania” and how the market works in the present day. According to the different type of interests, this thesis separates the market of road running into two parts. “Jogging club” and ”sports marketing corporation”, this type of actor takes “private interest” as their goal.“Organizer formed with local network of township”, this type of actor takes public interest as their goal. Besides, I choose one of the most famous evants,”Taiwan's Rice Heaven-Tianzhong Marathon”, as my case to study the “Organizer formed with local network of township”. Our investigation shows that because of the difference in interest type, the two type of actors choose different road to marketization. Compare to the “Jogging club” and ”sports marketing corporation” which gain profit through the business mode, “Organizer formed with local network of township” on the other hand combines the power of tourism development association、sports club、community development association and township office and connects tightly with the local social network and restart the development of declined township. Traditional Sociology of sport mostly assume that the process of marketization harms the innate character of sport. However, our investigation to ”Taiwan's Rice Heaven-Tianzhong Marathon” points out that not every marketization process harms. Instead, by changing the interest type and adjusting the form of inner organization, marketization may also bring positive impact to the society.

Reports of the Banking Association of South Africa (BASA) and Finmark Trust in 2004 -2005

consisting of properties of which the price is above R200, 000.00 is prospering. However, the
second sub-housing market, comprising of RDP houses and older properties in the townships, is
inefficient and ineffective. Orlando East, Diepkloof and Orlando West and are older parts of

關于社會地位的研究廣泛地存在于個人層面和組織層面的文獻中。然而，對于地位在産業集群層面的研究還相對缺乏。本文基于社會地位的相關文獻以及群落生態理論的視角，對産業集群的地位以及産業集群社會地位的溢出效應進行研究。我們認爲集群的社會地位和集群社會地位的溢出效應能補充已有的密度依賴模型，從而更好的解釋集群的市場進入率。具體而言，本文的研究目的在于：（1）集群的社會地位和集群的社會地位溢出是否能影響集群的市場進入率；（2）集群的環境因素和集群的年齡因素如何導致集群的地位或地位溢出對集群的市場進入率産生不同的影響。本文采用2004年到2009年中國廣東省專業鎮的面板數據來檢驗我們的理論模型。實證數據分析結果支持了高地位的産業集群或者與高地位的産業集群的聯系能帶來較高市場進入率的假設。此外，我們的實證數據進一步支持了集群環境的調節作用。相對于有穩定環境的集群而言，不穩定集群的高地位或與高地位集群的聯系對市場進入率的影響更大。本文的結論具有重要的理論意義和實踐意義。
The concept of status has been widely understood in individual-level and organizational-level studies. However, scant attention has been paid to the role of status in community-level investigations. Drawing on social status literature and community ecology perspective, this study proposes that community status/community status spillover can complement density dependence model to predict market entry. To be more specific, the goal of this study is to examine (1) whether community status/community status spillover affects market entry, and (2) how community environment and community age distinguish status effects among clusters.
To test the hypotheses, we use a unique panel dataset of township clusters in Guangdong Province of China from 2004 to 2009. The results demonstrate that a focal community’s high-status position or status spillover from other inter-connected high-status communities contributes to that community’s market entry rate. The results further show that the effects of high status or high status spillover on market entry are stronger in communities with uncertain environments. This study has important implications for researchers, managers, policy makers, and entrepreneurs.

The study conducted a questionnaire survey mainly on consumers,the subject, of red glutinous rice from Guangfu Township who are grouped on the basis of their emphasis upon product attribute.Statistical methods including descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-test, independent samples t-test, chi-square test, factor analysis, cluster analysis and discriminant analysis were adopted, and the result of which was used for suggestion making. (1)Consumers of red glutinous rice from Guangfu Township principally are middle-aged married women living in northern Taiwan, with educational attainment in college and employment in service industry and business circles. Their eating habits are not stable. Monthly disposable income is less than 30,000 dollars while total income of such nuclear family without the elders or patients is over 70,001 dollars. As to consumer characteristics, these consumers chiefly buy red glutinous rice in 1kg pack at farmer’s association irregularly and spend an average of 151-500 dollars every time. They will not keep purchasing and eat it as cooked rice. (2)The result of analysis by paired-samples t-test shows 12 negative significances in product attribute more than positive ones indicating many product attributes should be improved to lower the difference between emphasis upon product attribute and satisfaction. (3)Five factors such as “reputation and planting method”,“promotion and price”,“package style and design”,“nutrition and function” and “product appearance and certification” are selected by factor analysis, which are then divided by cluster analysis into two groups “package and marketing” as well as “health care and regimen”.Independent samples t-test is conducted to analyze the significance between demographic variable and purchase decision process in segmented markets.The result demonstrates part discrepancy. Finally, the study has concrete proposals for the dealers according to the theoretical framework and empirical result.

During the period of martial law, Taiwan's government strictly controlled daily supplies and their channels to maintain the stability of prices, and retail markets or the so-called “traditional markets” were places where people chiefly purchased goods at. To meet people's needs, local governments established quite a few public markets for people, and that was the heyday of these markets. On July 15, 1987 after Taiwan's government announced the lifting of martial law, the government continued to promote political democratization, economy liberalization and internationalization to make Taiwan politically democratic and economically prosperous and make it become society with diverse cultures. However, customers of public markets have gradually been attracted by hypermarkets, supermarkets, shopping centers, online shopping, home delivery service and other consumption types in the waves of economy liberalization and internationalization. In view of the gradual decline of public markets, the central and local governments organized industry-government-academia discussions and budgeted for the activation of public markets. The subjects of the study were consumers at Xin Zhuang Zi Public Market in Xinfeng Township, Hsinchu County. By questionnaire survey, 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 192 were retrieved, making a 96% response rate. Among which, 180 questionnaires were considered valid, while 12 of them were invalid. The study adopted one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) in SPSS software to analyze data. Additionally, it used customer satisfaction with Xin Zhuang Zi Public Market in Xinfeng Township, Hsinchu County to improve software and hardware facilities, shopping environment, the level of illumination, the smoothness of traffic flow, air quality and hygiene of the public market to enhance its competitiveness, activate it and create a win-win situation for people, vendors and the government.

Traditional market represents its genuine characters upon different urban hierarchy and is normally classified “market landuse pattern” in Taiwan. What sells in the traditional market and its space orientations affect the degrees of satisfaction and space recognition of customers, physically and psychologically. Facing the strong competitions from modern supermarkets, traditional markets nowadays have to struggle for survival. There are 4 patterns of traditional markets which include 1.dot-development pattern, 2.line-development pattern, 3.suface-development pattern, and 4.volume-development pattern. The circulation system of the first three patterns lay with horizontal pattern while the last has its unique own space and exits with multi-layer circulations. The interior decorations, structure patterns, facilities intensities, space allocations, and parking management of these four patterns vary. This research aims to explore the space recognition differentials from the customers’ perspectives. The result of the research shows that the inside layouts and outside overall looking of a traditional market may not effect the desire and satisfaction of the customer toward it. The goal of a traditional market is to provide necessary and diversified goods such that the negative impact on customers may be reduced to some extent. The efforts made from the government may instead be one of the positive factors that would enhance the satisfaction degree of the customers. This research may provide some in-depth sights on the perspectives of management and planning of traditional markets, which may show some profits if they could be modified with flavor of tradition and modernity.

This study aimed to investigate the localized competitive strategies employed for bed-and-breakfast (BNB) market in Ji-Ji Township of Nantou County. Following the case study research method and the SWOT analysis method, it formulated strategies that were further transformed into localized competitive strategies for managing bed and breakfasts (BNBs) in the focused region. The competitive strategies discussed in this research were concluded through analyses of multiple components, including marketing, value-added service, diversified experience, strategic alliance, cost control, customer analysis, and brand management. The main purpose of these strategies was to provide more value-added service that can meet customers’ diversified needs and to further build up competitive advantages for management by means of this strategy pattern. It is hoped that this study will have significant contribution to the enhancement of the management quality and standards for local BNBs in Ji-Ji Township. The improvement of management will not only attract more foreign visitors to come for sightseeing but also create more tourism revenues and job opportunities for local residents, reducing the rate of outward migration. In addition, it will also maintain nature conservation and enhance the rate of farmland use. Hopefully, Ji-Ji Township will eventually become a well-known scenic spot in the world in the long run.

To evaluate the seismic capability of an individual building, the geographic environment and material capability are two major factors needed to be considered. In Lienchiangcounty, the seismic capability and the rehabilitation of carbonated concrete are two important issues for ensuring the safety of buildings. Based on this, the seismic capability survey and rehabilitation analysis on an existed building for the Jiesho Lion market in Nangan Township, Lienchiangcounty were studied. The current status survey, damage survey, the seismic capability and the rehabilitation analysis were involved in this study. Results revealed that the geological property of the site belonged to class III (weak site). The estimated structural cracks in beams and columns roughly covered 20%. The take-core compressive strengths showed almost all samples satisfied the requirement in the reinforcement concrete construction specification except one sample. The carbonation depths were within 0.6~4.2 cm and in some samples the carbonation depths exceeded the cover thickness, 4cm. The chloride contents in all samples exceeded the maximum allowable contents in CNS 3090. Keywords: seismic capability, damage survey, rehabilitation, carbonation depth

M. Tech. (Marketing, Faculty of Management Sciences), Vaal University of TechnologyOne important motivating force that influences a wide range of consumer behaviour is the desire to gain status or social prestige from the acquisition and consumption of goods. More often than not, individuals purchase expensive and luxury goods to display their social standing. In addition, individuals purchase status products to fulfil their material desires and reinforce their group identity. This is often a case with regards to youth consumers who often purchase expensive, luxury fashionable clothing brands to portray status and impress their peers. This behaviour seems to be trending among township consumers. The township market is a major contributor to the South African economy with an annual spending power of approximately R307-R308 billion. This study sought to investigate the influence of fashion clothing involvement, materialism and group identity on fashion brand status consumption amongst the youth. The research concentrates specifically on township youth consumers aged between 18 to 24 years, located in the Sedibeng district. This study made use of a non-probability convenience sample. A self-administered questionnaire was designed based on the scales used in previous studies. Five fieldworkers were selected and received training from the researcher on the purpose of the research as well as the critical elements of fieldwork. Once the training was completed, the questionnaires were distributed by fieldworkers. The questionnaire requested respondents to indicate on a five-point Likert scale the extent of their agreement or disagreement with items designed to measure their status consumption, fashion clothing involvement, materialism and group identity. In addition, the participants were requested to provide certain demographic data. For this study, a sample of 400 township youth individuals, residing within the Sedibeng district, was drawn. From this sample, only 345 questionnaires were usable leading to a response rate of 83 percent. The captured data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics comprising of correlation and regression analysis. The findings indicate that fashion clothing involvement significantly and positively predicted status consumption of township youth consumers. Therefore, the results show that fashion-involved consumers are more likely to engage in status consumption. There was a direct relationship between materialism and status consumption. Group identity had a significant positive influence on status consumption. Owing to the high demand for status brands or products by township youth consumers, it is recommended that marketers should tap the market potential of this consumer segment while considering the influence of their reference groups. In addition, their advertisements should emphasise the brand or product’s ability to indicate status. Furthermore, marketers should make use of social media to effectively reach youth consumers. Insights gained from this study will help marketers to better understand township youth consumers, their engagement in status consumption, and their involvement in fashion clothing, which, in turn, should help them tailor their marketing efforts in such a way as to appeal to this segment in an appropriate manner.

This research design is based on Changhua County Lukang City First Public Retail Market second floor vacant space. Micro Architectures are deemed to be like artwork. However, little design research has emphasized on the relation between interior design and micro architecture. In addiction, the tour guiding centers of tour sights in Taiwan are less likely to put effort on developing methods for providing city history guided tours. Thus, the process of tourists experiencing fast and have quick understanding of how the city has evolved has a crucial importance. By literature review and case studies this research design analysis the methodology of micro architecture designs. Then the use of interactive design was integrated with the guided tours serve to stimulate the human perception in order to enhance the tour guiding services. The study found that the contrast between materials and the planning of the circulations could all be greatly designed by the method of inputting micro architectures. However, due to the scale limitation of indoor environment, the creation of indoor micro architecture can be limited as well. In contrast, various outdoor unsuitable materials can be used for indoor micro architecture designs.

M. Tech. (Marketing, Faculty of Management Sciences), Vaal University of Technology.Research on apparel store choice and patronage has been widely studied locally and internationally. However, it is still important to understand consumers’ purchase behaviour and to develop appropriate retailing strategy. South Africa is currently experiencing a substantial growth in retail infrastructure especially in townships. Formal retailers are now expanding into township markets. Most of those retailers differentiated themselves from their competitors by developing a corporate identity, inter-alia through their store image. The purpose of the research was to examine apparel store selection criteria amongst black consumers in Soweto. In addition, this research examined the relationship between store satisfaction and loyalty. The literature review focuses on consumer behaviour variables and store image variables influential in store selection. The review was necessary to provide an overview of how consumers decide where, how and when to shop. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 489 respondents who were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. The sample size comprised sportswear apparel shoppers (blacks), both male and female, 18 years and older who patronised three shopping malls, namely Protea Gardens, Southgate, and Jabulani Mall. Data were analysed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), mean rankings, the Mann Whitney U test, correlation analysis and regression. Six factors were found to be appropriate to capture the dimensions of store selection. These factors were labelled sales assistant, store atmospherics, store appeal (interior/exterior), in-store induced appeals, promotion/brand availability and store accessibility. Furthermore, the data obtained revealed a strong linear relationship between satisfaction and loyalty as well as significant relationship amongst the dimensions of store selection. Regression analysis revealed that promotion/brand availability and store satisfaction are strong predictors of loyalty. The Mann Whitney U test revealed no significant difference in the store choice dimensions between female and male respondents. The recommendations arising from the current study could help retailers understand what motivates shoppers to select one store amongst other stores. The identification of in-store and out-of-store activities that encourage consumers to stay store loyal, are critical to the success of retail businesses. Future studies may be extended on the purchase of other products apart from sportswear items.

A research report submitted to the School of Architecture and Planning, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Science in Development Planning, 2020There is no doubt that the informal rental market (backyard rentals) has presented ordinary South Africans with a livelihood strategy that is not only benefiting the individual but the greater society. With so much rapid growth happening in the urban areas more especially in the peripheries the nature of how we understand rental markets is shifting. These markets seem to be producing more and more diverse rental options which cater for different people but more importantly, they cater also for the poor. Most of the time, the formal rental market is known to alienate the poor when it comes to housing. In the townships of Ebony Park and Kaalfonteinin Johannesburg, landlords are shaping how we understand rental, they are creating diverse backyard typologies which seem to be catering for the middle and lower class. Interestingly this trend has been a far-fetched goal of the post-apartheid government: to create neighbours that are socially mixed, affordable and diverse. The only issue is that the informal rental sector has been given little or no attention by the government. This research aims at investigating what are the factors that are contributing to such patterns in townships by looking at the supply side of the market (landlords) so that at least the government recognise this sector. The argument presented is that there is nothing special about the market, but instead, the market is highly influenced by the invisible hand. The argument is that when landlords pursue their selfish aims in the townships, they produce unintended consequences which are beneficial to society and government. As such if the government wants to intervene in this hand of the market it should bein a strategic way in which it does not disturb the invisible hand. Indeed ,the invisible hand somehow plays a role in how we understand the backyard rental market in the township. In the research it is evident that there are several factors that influences landlords to enter the market; however, from the township context four factors seem to be key (cognitive, space awareness, risk aversion and emotion). The research acknowledges that the aforementioned factors can be group into psychological factors. There are also non-psychological factors (law enforcement, policies, town-planning tools etc.) that come into play
