A Note of the Use of the Shift Technique in the Measurement of Population Change

This paper examines the issue of modeling dynamic aspects of shopping trip-making behavior using time series data and presents the results of an empirical analysis based on a two-week travel diary survey of households in Hamilton, Ontario. It is concluded that logit models incorporating time dependent variables perform significantly better in terms of both calibrated goodness-of-fit and predictive capabilities than do models which assume no time dependency between choices.     

安阳市城市地域等级结构研究

在居民购物出行影响下的城市地域结构,主要以方便居民对不同商品按市场、交通原则的出行流量为形成基础.而商户在经营过程中,又要考虑城市地域结构对经济利益差异的影响.城市地域经济发展的过程,就是购销双方在地域上动态拟合的过程.从居民购物出行的流量入手,结合中心地理论,对安阳市城市地域结构的等级进行了实证研究.分析表明,随着中小城市地域结构的非均衡发展,居民购物出行的线路流量和地域流量都随之发生变化,并带动城市地域结构的动态变化.     

Decentralization of Retailing in Britain: The Breaking of the Third Wave

A much anticipated explosion in regional shopping center retailing in Britain has failed to emerge. This paper suggests that the threat to existing property investments was a key reason why funds for development were slow to materialize. By the time the movement gathered pace, the British government became worried by the scale of proposals. Since the consumer boom that followed the expansionary budget of 1988 was short lived, it follows that many potential investors were relieved that they did not become involved with schemes that might have had little economic viability. Therefore, the rather restricted geography of retailing in Britain has been left largely unchanged.     

Classifications of retail stores and shopping centres: some methodological issues

This paper reviews current methods used in classifying retail outlets and areas devoted to retailing, in the geographical and town planning literature. For retail outlets, classifications based upon types of goods sold, and types of shopping trip, are discussed. This is followed by an analysis of modern large store development which reflects property developers' and retailers' concerns. Areas devoted to retail uses are subdivided into unplanned ‘retail areas’ and planned ‘shopping centres’. Traditional classifications based upon central place theory are reviewed for both of these types, and found wanting in the light of recent changes in retail development practice and consumer behaviour. Classifications based upon physical development characteristics and type of shopping trip are recommended. Finally, classifications of urban retail location are examined. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Policy Change and Venue Choices: Field Burning in Idaho and Washington

Grass seed farmers have burned their fields in Idaho and Washington State for decades. Field burning, however, creates small particulate matter air pollution, thus engendering a growing public backlash by the 1990s that manifested itself in new clean air advocacy groups. The new groups’ push for policy change eventually met with significant success in both cases. How did each set of advocates approach the challenge of policy change? More specifically, what kinds of policy venues did each group choose and why? This research uses the cases to explore and explain each clean air group's choices vis-à-vis hypotheses of venue choice. Three hypotheses are tested—Schattschneider's (1960 Schattschneider , E. E. 1960 . The semisovereign people . New York , NY : Holt, Rinehart, and Winston . [Google Scholar]) “expanded scope of conflict” thesis, ACF's (Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith 1999 Sabatier , P. , and H. Jenkins-Smith . 1999 . The advocacy coalition framework: An assessment . In Theories of the policy process , ed. P. A. Sabatier , 117 – 166 . Boulder , CO : Westview Press . [Google Scholar]) contention that groups strategically apply their resources in order to increase the likelihood of achieving their primary goal(s), and Pralle's (2003 Pralle , S.

The Spatial Dialectics of Modernity and Retail Affect at Abasto Shopping,Buenos Aires,Argentina

Abstract

The paper is about the political life of a building: the Abasto. Located in what was called the “most porteño” neighborhood in the first part of the 20th century (“porteño” is someone from central Buenos Aires) when it functioned as the city's main food market, the Abasto became a massive shopping mall in 1998 amid rapid neoliberal restructuring. This paper charts the political life of this building in two steps. First, by drawing on theories of socio-spatial dialectics, this paper charts the history of the Abasto as an urban object in a wider political landscape of porteño modernity. Second, by incorporating recent theories of affect and presenting findings from field work carried out at the mall in 2010 and 2011, this paper develops a framework for understanding the politics of consumption in a “post-neoliberal” urban landscape.     

城镇化与“菜篮子”问题研究

城镇化是"菜篮子"问题出现的一个重要社会背景.城市规模的扩大、城镇人口的增加、城市生活方式的普及以及由二元社会结构所导致的对"三农"问题的忽视是影响"菜篮子"产品生产和供应的重要因素,同时"菜篮子"问题对我国的城镇化也有一定的影响作用.关注城镇化和"菜篮子"的相互作用,有助于更好地找到"菜篮子"问题的解决途径,促进我国的城镇化发展.     

芜湖市居民购物出行空间的等级结构演变特征及驱动机制

居民购物出行空间是城市内部空间结构的重要组成部分。在对芜湖市居民问卷调查和访谈的基础上,分析了居民购物出行空间等级结构的演变特征及驱动机制。结果表明：① 芜湖市居民购物出行的空间距离具有减小的趋势,变化幅度最大的是家用电器与服装衣饰类等高等级商品,从中心区与郊区来看,中心城区居民的出行距离变化不大,郊区居民的购物出行距离明显缩短,反映了城市商业空间格局的分散化趋向。② 芜湖市居民购买不同类型商品出行的空间等级层次分明,基本符合中心地理论中的等级关系,购物地点逐渐从高级中心地向相对较低级中心地转移;日常用品类商品购物地等级下降最为明显,由2001年的介于三、四级中心地下降到2011年的四、五级中心地之间,下降了1个空间等级,具有明显的就近居住地购买趋向。③ 从政府政策作用、零售商供给、居住主体偏好等三方面剖析了居民购物出行空间演变的驱动机制,认为商业网点发展规划、新业态的集聚与扩散、职住分离与居住-消费空间错位、交通条件的改善、居民购物需求偏好等因素影响着居民购物出行空间的等级结构演变。     

网上购物对个人出行与城市零售空间影响的研究进展及启示

随着互联网的快速发展和普及,网上购物因其巨大的经济潜力已经成为ICT 应用的核心领域之一。网上购物指的是通过互联网搜索或购买商品和服务的活动,网上购物作为一种新的购物渠道和媒介,与城市传统零售业在竞争的同时又相互补充,重新塑造人们的购物行为和零售业运行模式,进而改变着城市传统零售业布局和土地利用格局。本文重点梳理国内外近20 年来地理学界关于网上购物、出行和城市零售空间的研究内容。网上购物和出行的关系包括替代、补充、修正、中立4 个方面。网上购物对城市零售空间的影响包括:①扩大化和碎片化活动空间;②不同等级零售空间受网购影响差异显著,向虚实融合的零售空间转化;③线上线下零售活动向与其他空间渗透和融合,促进传统零售空间转型。研究结论可为消费者出行优化和城市传统零售业发展转型提供借鉴。     

历史街区顾客地方依恋与购物满意度的关系——以苏州观前街为例

基于“地方依恋”与“美国顾客满意度指数(ASCI)模型”基本理论,通过构建顾客地方依恋与购物满意度之间的结构关系模型,采用通径分析、相关分析及验证性因子分析等研究方法,探讨了苏州观前街历史街区型购物场所顾客地方依恋对购物满意度的影响关系,结果表明：①地方依恋对顾客购物满意度、购物抱怨及购物忠诚度均具有不同程度的影响效应;②地方依恋对顾客购物满意度具有最为显著的正向影响、对购物抱怨的直接负向影响显著、通过顾客购物满意度对购物抱怨具有间接的负向影响,但并不显著;③地方依恋对顾客购物忠诚度的直接影响及以购物满意度为中介变量的间接影响均为显著。最后提出了增进观前街与顾客之间人地情感联结关系,以提高顾客游憩及休闲购物满意度的主要途径。
